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

[Thyrzul]

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.

The situation pretty much justified a preventive action to get rid of the risk of further problems around the base. Reasons has been stated for why has been done this way what has been done. It is up to you whether you are satisfied with those reasons or not.

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.

Analyzing one aspect of the whole situation and drawing a conclusion upon that is similar to judging somebody based on something which got taken out of context: Grants the audience a false picture of the situation. I highly disagree with such practices.

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.

Weak attempt? Do you know what I based my claims on? Not even a warning beforehand, not even a sorry afterwards has been received from him. In none of the cases. And then suddenly the base is gone, he started to pose as an innocent, weighting out how much effort he put into that base and how quickly it gone without warning. Of course many forgot what he did with that base afterwards...

Yes, I call that trolling... wait, no, manipulation could fit better, in my opinion...

While the way of actions was not appropriate, it nullified the risk of getting things out of hand.

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.

Call it ooRP as much as you wish, it has been stated before why the action was inRP, so if after all you still think otherwise, I can't say much on this...

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.

Curious what I'd have done? Carry on and next time mind my actions and words way better than before.

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.

I can totally agree with this.

@Cannon:

2. The base was not made hostile to Bretonian ships. The base had it's defensemode changed from time to time resulting in the destruction of a Bowex vessel once (as mentioned earlier) and the destruction of a Council vessel twice by the weapon platforms of the base.
