How is it the RD's fault that the HoP decided to go full gorilla mode? The escalation seems valid to me on the RD's end. Of course, it's still reasonable to question why the RD was walking around with a maxcap, but the detonation is completely on the HoP.

If the HoPcurity wants to act like security, he should learn how security acts, and it's poor practice to gun someone down past the point of being a threat
These were your criticisms of the HoP.
It's incorrect to criticise him for acting as security in this situation, as he was completely warranted to arrest that player.
It's incorrect to claim he wasn't meeting Security expectations, as killing that player in that context was 100% justified due to them almost killing you during a resonance cascade.
It's unreasonable to expect him to trust the RDs word at all, seeing as no action by the RD was anything but hostile from the HoPs perspective.
You saying "well I'm just pointing out the HoP technically activated the Killswitch" is a giant fucking back pedal. You made a lot of straight up wrong assertions which weren't just around the HoP activating the kill switch but the events that led to it.

It's extremely generous to call wordlessly tabling someone to crit an "arrest".

Have coders changed things? As of the last time I remember being in a resonance cascade, recalling changes absolutely nothing because the shuttle wouldn't leave anyway and escape is done via wormhole.

If a spessman doesn't believe the RD has a bomb, that's that spessman being a dumbass. You can get a bomb in 5 minutes as a scientist.

In conclusion, the RD shouldn't have been walking around with a set bomb but the HoP shouldn't have set it off like a dumbass.

Surely, you mean "kidnaps", since the HoP does not even have the authority to make arrests, much less arrest other heads...
Lacran is out here fighting for the rights of HoPcurities everywhere. HoPcurity, on MANUEL of all servers...
... showing up to the bridge and instantly tabling the RD, truly the highest roleplay tgstation can behold.
Things happened on the bridge.
Escalation rules on "MANUEL of all servers" specifically state that you are allowed to defend your own workplace. The HoPs workplace is his lil office...in the bridge. The HoP has access to an e-gun and cuffs specifically to arrest people fucking around in the bridge.
Did you know that myself, after becoming admin, was bwoinked for bucklecuffing and stripping the acting captain (a QM), on Manuel, as HoP? After beating the shit outta them? I didn't get noted, because, it being Manuel, where people are technically RPing, I took the QMs joke to build the BSA in the bridge, where my office is, very seriously.
You mainline Terry. Maybe check MRP rules before you make a fool of yourself?

I think it makes more sense to assume the RD that just recalled doesn't actually have a kill switch bomb they made to kill abductors. Especially considering they were about to try to fix the engine during a resonance cascade which would be pretty hazardous.
All of those things seem highly unlikely to assume because that would be an extremely, incredibly stupid thing to do that would get you into a lot of trouble.
It's far more reasonable and likely that the player is lying to you to avoid you beating the piss out of them. Especially when they immediately return once they have the upper hand to shoot you with a Mosin.
Run away from the hostile RD (and the RD recalls the shuttle again)
Stand there (and risk getting shot to death by the hostile RD with a mosin)
Kill the RD (and risk activating the bomb the RD stashed)
None of these are desirable.

it's also ironic that ekat would defend the RD because the hop shouldn't be acting like a vigilante when the RD is walking around with a rifle and a health sensor maxcap to hunt an antag that isn't a stationwide threat.
You misunderstand the extent to which I'm defending the RD. I'm more criticising the HoP. See below:
ekaterina wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2023 7:13 pm
The HoP was warned and he ignored the warning because he randomly decided the RD was bluffing. The HoP fucked around and found out. How is it the RD's fault that the HoP decided to go full gorilla mode? The escalation seems valid to me on the RD's end. Of course, it's still reasonable to question why the RD was walking around with a maxcap, but the detonation is completely on the HoP.
that's fair, yeah. without the maxcap this situation would just be a silly fight. maybe it's on the hop that the bomb went off but the RD had no valid reason to have a health sensor maxcap in their back pocket in the first place, hence why they got into trouble for it. i would argue that it's fine that the hop killed them after being shot with a rifle, though. it's why they carry a self-defence weapon, and in this instance they used it in self-defence. the RD was still on 56~ hp after the fight and could've easily walked away, or they could've resorted to fists themselves if they wanted to continue the confrontation (the same level of escalation that the hop was using) but this would've also been a stupid move.
the fact that the hop had sechuds on is a little cringe, but in light of the circumstances i'm choosing to overlook it... >:)

You're making the mistake of assuming what people do makes sense. We're dealing with wacky spessmen, you won't always understand their motivations.

I like this idea. We should extend this new command HUD, ComHUD™ if you will, to all heads of staff.

Main character syndrome
Nobody knows what this means. Devin doesn't have MC syndrome, he's just dumb sometimes.
Also Kat literally the only thing the HoP did wrong was not communicate with Devin. If he'd sat down and talked to him instead of going guns blazing it wouldn't have been an issue.
Devin is still in the wrong because the HoP's actions are entirely irrelevant to the situation save for them resulting in the bomb going off. The issue is that the RD shouldn't be building a maxcap tied to a health monitor as a non-antag.

You make the bomb and trigger conditions, its your responsibility if it goes off under your specified conditions.
Imagine if the bomb went off and took someone out who was just a bystander in an otherwise valid situation?
I'm quite disappointed in Devin. I was hoping he would improve and this makes me wonder if that may ever happen. I do not mind Devin at all as a person and I do wish him the best, but this is somewhat distressing to see.
