so i took a 30 day assistant ban + 3 day ban earlier this year for habitually tiding into the cap's office at roundstart. it usually resulted in me dying, but that's besides the point. also besides the point is my feeling on the note itself, it's in the past and not worth going to FNR court over or whatever.
my question, and something i'd like to see settled, is when does the 'do not do this thing at roundstart' timer expire? when is it okay by rules to tide into captain's office, force your way into armory, etc.
some would just point to the ever vague rule 1, but rule 1 actually has two precedents that are relevant to this topic:
Players who attempt to break into the captain's office, head of personnel's office, or the bridge at or near roundstart for no legitimate reason put themselves at risk for being legitimately killed by the captain, heads of staff, or security.
does tiding into cap's office at round start fall under the latter and the former? or just the former? what about tiding into it, say, 45 minutes into the round once everything is underway and the station's half fallen apart? is getting murdered in-game meant to coincide with consequences from jannies?Unprovoked grief (occasionally known as greytiding), repeated cases of minor unprovoked grief, and unprovoked grief targeted towards specific players or groups (i.e. metagrudging) fall under rule 1. Admins may follow up on grief with allowing the affected parties to ignore normal escalation policy or measures such as warnings or bans.
tl;dr: when does it stop being 'roundstart'?
