Time incident occured: Yesterday night.
Detailed summary: It was dead at night and I felt like playing a little SS13 but it was late and I didn't really want to play anything intense so I just observe. Turns out it's wizard, and I observe him. The wizard is obviously inexperienced and, in lieu of blasting people to bits (at least at first) they ask people to go to sleep so they can shard them. Remarkably several people oblige, including the HoP who runs out of the relative safety of their office and sleeps at the wizard's request, willfully antaging themselves.
Seeing this pretty shitty behavior from a head, I ahelp. BGO is there and dismisses me, saying "Not everyone is a validhunter like you." I respond that yes, clearly I'm the problem here, and receive no further response. After the round ends I give BGO some feedback on his thread, the first he's gotten in about a year, and get another snarky remark defending his actions.
He seems to be confused about what the problem was here. I don't care that the HoP didn't try and fight the wizard, that's his choice to make as a player, nor do I care that the wizard didn't immediately start nuking the station (opinion: friendly wizards are boring as fuuuuuck), I care that the HoP, a HEAD, willfully antag'd themselves by sleeping in front of a wizard, at his mere request, with a SOUL SHARD BELT VISIBLE. This couldn't be anything other than a player who wanted to be antag and get their free pass to valid the station, which is against the rules if not in letter in spirit.bandit wrote:Not everyone is a validhunter, and the fact that the wizard is taking time to talk to people and make requests of them instead of instantly magic missile-EI NATH means that he isn't one either. I'm not going to punish people for failing to get their valids, and if you expect that then you should take a good look at your playstyle.
I would have been completely satisfied if the HoP had resisted, even if just by telling the wizard no, and got killed and sharded. Would have been 100% fine. But he didn't, the HoP threw themselves at the wizard and got their free antag round and, from what I've heard from another player, proceeded to rampage.
