Cremating someone who had an armblade, was monkey and hit me with the armblade is poor decision making while we're dealing with multiple lings and a dice of fate wizard blowing shit up. ok.jpg

This to me seemed like he misspoke in the moment while justifying another thing he did.
>I figure there's better ways to handle the matter until you're certain he's a changeling, especially since killing him doesn't really *do* anything if he is one.
I was 100% certain he was a ling due to aforementioned armblade/monkey. Generally with lings you only have a limited time to gib/cremate before they use their ling powers to escape. Especially since I had no other officers near me and there was a wizard who was intent on killing all of security.
If you banned or noted me this would've been an appeal and an admin complaint instead of feedback.
To be honest, it feels like you're not accustomed to how things are currently. I can completely understand that, I left for a year and came back too. Almost everything changed. Honestly, wouldn't it be better to not be an admin temporarily till you're more accustomed to the current zeitgeist? You're not a bad admin but you're gonna leave a bad taste in people's mouth if you act on things that might've been action/verbal reprimand worthy in the past.
If I was alone in this feeling I wouldn't be so to the point about this but multiple people brought this up. Not only here but also on other places like the discord.
Back then you could still kill antags or people who acted like antags for just being an antag, and monkeys were generally valid af. This was just a weird conversation he had with you.
He really shouldn't have been back on the text until he gets both an understanding of current features and a sense of how admins should approach situations, especially given that this seems to be a reoccurring theme.
However, since it didn't happen this way, I hope he can shake off the dust soon because he's a nice guy and was a good admin.
