Abuse of Power Complaint to Admins Via Bretonian War Cabinet/BAF

[Jack_Henderson]

You War Cabinet/Bretonian guys in here can justify what you want... the fact is:

The destruction of 3 transports (you can prove what? one? You have a "olololol" on Skype? Is there any rp?) does not justify trashing a Core 4 base that had been there for a long time and seems not to have caused considerable problems for a large part of that time. Especially if there actually is a line to communicate with each other (actually an active cooperation) and after suggestions for change had been taken up and implemented by the owner.

Let's analys damage for both sides and look for appropriateness, because in my opinion a reaction to an action should always be appropriate:

> 3 transports blow up every 3 minutes in Disco. Their maximum value is less than 100 mils and 30 minutes in time and no one gets emotionally involved about a transport blowing up anyway, as it just happens everyday, all day.

> The WC decided on a whim and from their feeling of being entitled to it to destroy something that took weeks if not months to create, is worth billions and - most importantly - carries the heartblood of the owner... just because they could. Let's also mention 2,561 views in a very short time, 109 often emotional replies by many players, so in short: big drama for big parts of the cmmunity.

Conclusion:
The crime does not fit the punishment.
You do not execute a small criminal by dropping an atomic bomb on the town he lives in.
=> Appropriateness is definitely not given in this case.

Even if anybody believes the weak attempt to mark the base as a "troll base that had to be destroyed for the greater good", the way of doing it was not apropriate. We all know where troll bases were and how they created the overall damage done here in less than an hour, for weeks or even months.

The point "He broke the agreement, the base can legally be destroyed" and the attempt to find an irp explanation for an oorp attack, doesn't change that this was an extremely bad call, the oorp execution was as dirty and cowardly a backstab as can be and those players involved should be ashamed and not stand here, saying "np np" and defending their decision like many do.

The only one who really understood what happened on a player-to-player level is Summer, because he bore the full brunt of the reaction from all sides.

Empathy and perspective change (= how would I feel if this happened to me?) is what should play a role in decisions like that. But I assume it was just once again: Power. And power has always brought out the worst in people. Actually, Summer wrote that.

The solution has already been voiced in here.


It was dirty action on many levels.
=> Step 1: restore it.
Side comment: Bases have been restored for less reason than this.
Result: It would help the owner but also those players who were part in the killing and who feel bad about it.

Something like that should not happen again:
=> Step 2: disarm it. Completely.

Most importantly:
=> Step 3: Use the mess to draw a set of clear rules.

And: Admins, sorry, I know you hate more work and it is a game for you, too. I understand. But player bases are worth your getting involved. You look for justice when something gets unjustly destroyed in cases worth not even 1/100th in value, not even counting any emotional value (and thus drama potential!)... you cannot ignore things of this size and "let the players do it themselves".

Players are not able to, as this example, Seychelles in the past, and many other dick-moves with bases have proven. I bet you have tons of problems that have been reported. Please get involved.
