What if some rounds you just don't get your desired items and you deal with it by obtaining another elsewhere?

If a toddler was capable of crushing someone in an airlock in retaliation for taking a thing they wanted then they would do it, not sure how many years you need to add before that ceases to be what I expect from someone but it's not many.

Reider's note history is because he had a pattern of randomly firelock crushing people, not because he firelock crushed people as a preventative measure or because they were going to beat him to something they were both going after.

Roundstart tech storage fighting is NRP cringe. Treat the round as if it hasn't just started and play normally, not that hard. They're both cringe shits.

Regardless, what sort of world do we live in where 15 brute damage that doesn't kill someone and is in some way justified is grounds for any sort of administrative action?
I just don't see where this crosses any lines whatsoever.
Are we fulpstation now? Do we really want to cultivate an environment where players are scared to punch each other in the face as part of roleplay(something I have done and will continue to do) because an admin could see it and ban them?

I would like to culture an environment where it's not considered to be a reasonable action to slam someone's body into a fucking door because they took something you wanted.

People resort to violence way too fucking easily in this game. Hell, people run around shoving each other into the walls for fun. I'm not ever going to argue that LRP needs to be the same as MRP or that the servers should be anything like Fulp, but no, I don't think people being able to wordlessly beat the piss out of each other for a pair of gloves is "peak gameplay" nor is it something we should be encouraging.

I don't particularly view this as an issue, however I don't like the attitude!

I wish people were more honest with this stuff, he obviously did it for the belt or gloves or w/e and trying to find bs reasons to justify it is cringe, I think he would have gotten a better response if from the get go he was 100% truthful.

However, the history kinda makes this iffy, with a history like and a note for a random crush not that long ago makes me kinda iffy.

No idea on what I'll rule on as despite me not viewing this as an issue he does have a history & tried to make an excuse (which I don't entirely believe.)

I disagree.
You will do more damage stunning someone with rubbershot than you will firelock crushing them once. Imagine taking a little brute damage in a scuffle. Imagine.
The escalation rules say "As a non-antagonist you may begin conflict with another player with valid reason (refusal of critical services, belligerent attitude, etc) OR if it does not excessively interfere with their ability to do their job"


Reider had a reason (getting the gloves before henry) and did not excessively interfere with henry's round.

It's not just because they took something he wanted- they were going to take something else he wanted, and he wanted to beat them to it. A firelock crush comes with a decently long stun. It was his best and only option for remaining in the running for that pair of funny yellow gloves. You did provide a number of alternatives in the appeal, which I'll address briefly in a spoiler:
► Show Spoiler
People resort to violence way too fucking easily in this game. Hell, people run around shoving each other into the walls for fun. I'm not ever going to argue that LRP needs to be the same as MRP or that the servers should be anything like Fulp, but no, I don't think people being able to wordlessly beat the piss out of each other for a pair of gloves is "peak gameplay" nor is it something we should be encouraging.
A few points, here:
He didn't beat the piss out of the guy. He did a whopping fifteen brute damage. That's not even enough to disable a limb. If he had put him into crit, we wouldn't be having this discussion. You are consistently exaggerating how much damage he actually dealt here.
I don't think it's peak gameplay either, but the roundstart competition for the gloves sure enables it for whoever wins. For assistants, those gloves can make or break a round. They're part of baseline access to the sandbox.
I also don't think it's something we should be actively discouraging either. Players should be allowed to play a more aggressive character. Someone who's quick to jump into a fight. Before you go off quoting the rules at me, I'm not saying people should be allowed to be insane and just murder other people for gloves. Some minor brute damage? That should be on the table.

Lastly, I'd really like you to address this question from me, if nothing else:
Why was this even put on Vekter's table?
Why were you even involved in the first place? I don't understand. It's a very clear IC issue with little to no coverage in the rules, to me.

Here’s the issue with handling this stuff administratively:
It means minor crimes confirm the person to be an antagonist.

If people receive notes and bans for the simple theft of someone’s insuls or a toolbelt, it relegates these crimes to antagonists, and on LRP servers where antag = valid, you start to have real issues.

I played Fulp for a while where hacking to departments was bwoinkable, because in their view, it made the round worse for a bunch of shitters to be hacking wherever they wanted to go. The downside of course is that hacking into a department told sec instantly you were either A) about to be bwoinked, or B) an antag.

Very harmless tiding like this is a net benefit to the servers, because it serves as a baseline chaos that gives antags breathing room.

The appropriate response to "someone might take something before I can" is not "crush them with a firelock so I can get to it first", it's "GO GET ANOTHER ONE SOMEWHERE ELSE".

You guys are focusing on the wrong thing. The issue is that:

1) Reider's reason for attacking the other player was stupid, and
2) Reider has done this far, far more times than is really reasonable.

I don't think it's unreasonable for me to expect people to act like adults when we have an 18+ rule. If someone might get something you want before you, try to get it first. If you don't, oh fucking well. Maybe you don't get that item for the round. Insulated gloves aren't mandatory to your enjoyment of the game. Maybe you go somewhere else to get them, as I suggested in the appeal.

E: The forums didn't tell me Sinful posted before I did because they are bad.

You're right in moderation. The issue comes when it becomes the general norm of the server for people to do shit like this. I banned Reider because it's a constant issue with him. You should be allowed to greytide a little as a treat, but if you make it your entire personality, you are going to get your shit kicked in.

All a history can do is amplify an issue, and make the punishment for reoccurring offences harsher. Having a history does not make a something that is not an issue into an issue.

Irrelevant. He was an assistant. If we applied the standard for assistants to every job, of course the server would go to shit.
Assistants' primary function is to do minor grief and be sec content, change my mind.

The player acting like an adult (OOC) is not the same as the character acting like an adult.

Assistants like Reider make for sec content and create the potential for interesting interactions.

I genuinely don't have to answer this question and, given the attitude of the few people in this thread who disagree with me, answering it does nothing but put me in a worse place. Either "Someone adminhelped", which puts pressure on the person who was involved and makes them much less likely to adminhelp in the future, or "I did it of my own volition", which (in your eyes) makes me look like an asshole.

I think that the crew getting violent with each other over petty matters is a *good* thing, especially in cases like this where there's clearly no intent to continue harming someone... I dont like the idea that the only reason you ever cause damage to someone is that you want to crit/kill them. Death matches over stupid stuff sucks, but removing low-level violence like punching someone because they're taking all the good tools you wanted makes me sad. `

Again, it's worth noting that this is a problem of sheer volume. I don't agree that you should constantly come to blows over extremely petty things, but the rules don't agree with me in general. It's allowed, as long as it's not a constant issue.

Reider has been a constant issue for months now.

Hypothetically right if Reider "just went to go somewhere else for the gloves" but this played out just as it did before would he still be getting banned here?

I have you blocked, which is why I haven't been responding to your posts, but I feel like this one is safe since it's a pretty reasonable question.

My actions are well within the rules. 5-6 other admins agreed with me (with no dissenting opinion) at the time of the incident.

My opinion in regards to the rules are that we're often too lenient on greytiding on both servers (moreso on Manuel) and that we should be addressing these issues early on with players before it becomes as bad as it has with Reider. A talk with him when he'd played 50-100 hours could've resulted in a lot less headache. Mind you, that doesn't mean that I think we should be banning people for only a few offenses early on in their time here. I'm speaking more from a guiding standpoint than a punitive one.

Where you're getting confused is in the belief that my opinion has anything to do with how I enforce the rules. I'm allowed to not agree with how the server is run. Ask MSO, it's been a constant thing between us for months now. It's also why I post so much in Policy Discussion. But I'm also mature enough to know that, even if I don't agree with every little rule we have, I still have to enforce them if I'm going to be an admin.

tl;dr I didn't ban him because of my opinion, I banned him because he broke the rules.

Why was this even put on Vekter's table?
Why were you even involved in the first place? I don't understand. It's a very clear IC issue with little to no coverage in the rules, to me.
I genuinely don't have to answer this question and, given the attitude of the few people in this thread who disagree with me, answering it does nothing but put me in a worse place. Either "Someone adminhelped", which puts pressure on the person who was involved and makes them much less likely to adminhelp in the future, or "I did it of my own volition", which (in your eyes) makes me look like an asshole.
A fair point to make. I have a couple of counterpoints, even if they're unlikely to change anything about your stance.
Making someone adminhelp less about things that are clear IC issues is a net benefit, as it wastes less peoples' time.
You already look like an asshole in my eyes for acting on something that (in my opinion, admittedly) wasn't actionable.
I've cooled down a bit by now. I'm just concerned, because I usually just assume that an admin got involved because of an ahelp. The way it looks is that a player decided to get the pettiest revenge possible for someone else getting to the gloves before them, by remembering that Reider had a very public ban about firelock crushing a little while back and ahelping it to get him banned again.

Am not going to care about 15 brute damage even with reiders history. He had a reason for it and if the player wants he can escalation against him.
