Admin notice: Player warned

[Ironwatsas]

Speaking in military code and newspeak is part of the aesthetic themes of the faction. Infact, there is a written code dictionary which I would be perfectly willing to send you over Skype or something. If you still don't like my or someone else's RP is one thing.

However, the issue at hand here is the whole ethic of using 'RP, of any length, as a long-winded engagement notice', rather then as RP. The fact that you, a long-standing member of the forum/member of the devteam/etc, engaged two ships, which even though you didn't seem to like the RP, were RPing, in a row, with one line engagement notices.

In any case, I'm not one to hold a grudge. This is a call to attention, not 'strip guns and credits'. I would hope next time we meet, we can at least have a conversation, discuss in RP each other's factions or at least spam propaganda at one another before the shooting begins.

Admittedly, perhaps I was jumping the gun in a full on sanction, but the point of it stands. Life goes on.

Here's the "evidence":

Against this rule:

5.2 All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. "Engaging" is not sufficient. An attack is any hostile action that drains shields to less than 50%. Being hit with a CD is not considered an attack. If a player is attacked he has a right to defend himself regardless of who is attacking.

The facts seen from the screens:

1. \CS\ Interceptor.Shield writes a one liner that acts as engagement notice
2. [KNF]Kanadzuchi responds with a shorter one liner
3. [KNF]Kanadzuchi flies past Interceptor.Shield
4. Some unknown time later Interceptor.Shield's shields are drained and he has hull damage, Kanadzuchi's shield are also drained.

It is impossible to tell when the last screen is taken, but since one ship that was on the previous screens is not there and 2 new ships are there and Interceptor. Shield is missing all nanobots it ought to be rather long time after.

=> No rule is proven to be broken by any part. Interceptor.Shield writes engagement notice first, but it's impossible to tell who actually "attacked" (drained shield by 50%) first.

So why do we actually have this thread in the first place?

==========================================

Interceptor.Shield uses slighly longer one liner but is the first one to start and using this evidence he is about as much "guilty" of breaking any rules as Kanadzuchi is.
The fact that the last screenshot is taken when Interceptor.Shield is defeated suggests that he plans to report Kanadzuchi as a "revenge" for a lost fight.

"Sanction is a final resort not a goal" ?

Mjolnir, I'm only going to say this once. You got a warning.

Note, not a sanction. You got that warning for having an attitude which I know for a fact likes blowing stuff up and not getting blown up yourself, coupled with a complete lack of will to roleplay anything beyond the bare minimum allowed by the rules.

Now, this warning hasn't penalised you in any way. You could have just taken it on the chin and gone "Yeh alright, I don't much like roleplaying, but hey I'll do it more in future". Or you could do as you have done, which is ask for the evidence leading to your warning and complain bitterly when you got it proved that you hadn't broken the rules.

Re-read the original post in this. I didn't say you had broken the rule. I said you had only just done what was necessary with regards to the rules. That hasn't changed.

Furthermore...
