Bottom post of the previous page:
I just experienced a round that really rustled my jimmies.I did science work, I went around upgrading the machines, including the chef's gibber. HoP was currently cooking food for Ian, who was currently controlled by a player.
Afterwards, Ian dies from the heat of a plasma fire in the kitchen, so I take it upon myself to get him revived via laz injector, even if that means mining the ores for the points myself. While talking to the QM about any active miners, some assistant lizard comes up, stares for a moment, then proceeds to grab Ian and make a beeline for arrivals. I follow them, they get to the locker room and manage to shove Ian into the washing machine before I take my screwdriver to their eye-sockets. Repetitively. I manage to drag Ian out of the machine and give the assistant a couple more kicks before leaving them in the locker bathroom, the shuttle is called at this point as a rogue AI spreads plasma everywhere.
About 5-10 minutes after dying in EVA trying to get Ian to mining, I get bwoinked by an admin because the grayshirt apparently ahelped. I spend the next 10ish minutes explaining why this rule is retarded in this situation and that the cunt shouldn't expect to do something like that and not expect any repercussions. Now I'm here.
I get this rule is in effect for examples like the few people who play solely to stroke their validboner and drop everything at the sight of potential valids. The issue here is that this rule literally only exists because of a playerbase problem, not a game problem. The admins I even talked to agreed that I should of been in the right for this situation, but policy is policy. It literally exists to protect the baiting shitters and prevent the valid-seekers from having another excuse to robust something, which is honestly awful because these types of people shouldn't even be allowed to play here in the first place. The fact the assistant in question has the audacity to whine to an admin and in deadchat about the situation just makes it even worse.
