Your side of the story: Simply put, too much worthless and uneventful adminbus that happened midround and post round. Note that triggering the fake nuke mutes OOC, as well as completely covers the screen. He also did this during Xeno's crash landing, which could have resulted in actual deaths. Nonchalant and too obtuse about it, and ended up doing it again when I mentioned reporting it in OOC. (Hopefully not to temporarily mute OOC.) While adminbus feels like it can be fine most of the time in most cases for the community, this just felt way too blatantly shallow and abusive anyways.

It caused one death. I apologized to the party involved. I joined when someone made a joke about pressing buttons and didn't know that the Xenos had started the crash down. Also the second time I did it, it was as a parting joke and I didn't see your comment about reporting it. If I wanted to mute OOC, I could've just muted OOC and been done with it. I didn't do either of these actions to harm the round or any player's experience. It was a joke, that simple. If you took it abusively then there is nothing I can say or do to change your mind.

This thread is primarily to document. I'm not advocating for action, simply to write what went down. While this sort of thing might not have ruined rounds, best not to make this a habit that other admins would happen to mimic, I'd say. As for if this was something that should be actioned on or not, is not my decision to make. I was probably a bit super on the nose, but yeah, at face value this sort of thing can look like that.

I've already spoken to Snowflake when the complaint went up and agree that this isn't something that should happen. Since we agree that it's not bad enough to take more action than that, I'll consider this resolved.
