If you were any antagonist except solo headrev, and wanted to make the same virus you have been making over and over again to kill all 30 people on the station, I wouldn't have cared. Now, when you yourself made it clear that you were just going to make this virus and treat it like you were any antag except headrev, I told you that you had 10 minutes to go do headrev things or I would send a meteor wave. I forced you, a headrev, to actively be a headrev and actually progress the round.
Rule 5 Precedents.
Minimum levels of effort for heads of staff, silicon roles, and team antagonist generally include not logging out/going AFK at or near round start due to the importance of those roles within the round for progression.
Cherrypicking for the importance of the team antagonist to progress the round, Head-rev is supposed to at least attempt to progress the round. Making a deathvirus and killing the entire station isn't what I would call progression.
Again, if you were anything but a solo headrev, you making the virus would have been 100% fine. Me making you, a HEAD REV, flash people is something that I will stand by till the end of time.
I was still greatly irritated that I was not allowed to do a non-exploit-related gimmick
Openly admitting to use an exploit in your gimmick, and calling flashing people a "gimmick" and not the main feature of being a head rev.
that I had been keeping in my back pocket for a while (and likely won't have an opportunity to try to do again)
You have made this exact virus so many times I have lost count. I also don't see how you will never have an opportunity to make a death virus again.
I would like to note that I did not see that last line there, but it didn't really matter much, since in later conversations, DinkleNH still seemed to stand by his decision of threatening to use admin tools if I tried to go solorev instead of loudrevs.
You weren't even trying to go solo rev. You were just making the same virus that you have schemed and perfected into the ultimate (and apprently exploit using) virus to kill all 30 players on the station.
We don't threaten nuke ops if they decide to go blitz ops (well, stealth ops would be closer to what I was trying to do, but blitz ops are much scummier/more "fucking boring", so I chose them as my example), so why do we threaten headrevs if they try to do something other than "unga bunga me flash people"?
In Nuclear Operatives, the progression of the round isn't based on how much a singular part of the team can convert people to their side.
Enforcement of these rules is at the discretion of admins.
Admins are fully accountable for any consequences should they invoke this rule. Admins are also allowed to intervene in rounds when it is in the best interest of the playerbase.
I think that I have made my opinion on this matter abundantly clear.
