[COMPLAINT] [Spiderhandsmcgee] <Fawcks>

Character name: Daniel 'Pendejo' Sucio
Admin in question: Spiderhandsmcgee / Flick Hoover
When did it take place: Approx. 3:15PM UTC, 10:15AM local time.
Evidence: Chat logs and screenshots attached. For sake of transparency, clarity, and not uploading 12 different screenshots I did not screenshot the entire discord conversation.
Your side of the story: I was one of the engineers during a lowpop crash round, and had done a significant portion of the cade work on the nuke. I accidentally neglected to cade a tile north of the bomb because the ship's razorwire defenses were blocking it and I didn't think about how it would be uncaded when the ship took off.

The ship took off a little bit earlier than anticipated and a shrike and defender rushed in attempting to defuse. The defender in question was able to shrug off five different marines and two turrets shooting them and successfully defused, I was then blamed for the subsequent defusal. What should have been at most a bit of a laugh for a strange end to the round instead became confrontational when the other marines that were left groundside angrily demanded to know who did the cade work. I was then heckled by several players to turn out my pockets because I had spare plasteel, which they then accused me of stealing from the ship's roundstart supplies even though I spent a majority of my points buying ~2 1/2 stacks of plasteel to test out the durability of the new nonfolding cades.

In the middle of this confrontation, Flick spawned in as a spatial agent next to me to sarcastically call me "genius" because I was mad that a fortified defender could shrug off so much damage and wasn't aware that a fortified defender cant be stunned. I shoved flick once out of frustration, he then proceeded to stun lock me by shove spamming me with max melee skill whilst ripping off all of my clothes, stealing my plasma cutter to go and throw it a screen or so away. I do not know if spatial agents start with max melee skill or have to set it themselves, but in either case I feel like this volates rule 3 of the admin rules. According to a drone in the chat logs he may have also set my own melee skill to 0 to prevent me from fighting back.

I have a reasonable suspicion that this was done to humiliate and embarass me further when I already felt like a massive piece of shit because other players were squaring up to me for the gap in the cades. When I questioned Flick after the round in the discord, their first response was just straight up "i did it to grief you" and that his reason for doing it was "so i was like okay im gonna fuck with this guy a bit." After asking for the proper place to file an admin complaint he then backpedaled a bit and said "it was just a joke", that it wasnt personal and that I was taking things too seriously. Stripping someone who has no opportunity to defend themselves in front of the people heckling them is, to me, pretty personal, or at the bare minimum an admin using their powers to join in on said heckling.

The admin in question has been talked to, while its normal for admins to have more leeway to do things at end of round. They've been told it's best to keep things impersonal when a player is already being dogpiled for a mistake, instead of joining in physically to really drive in someone's mistake home.

As for the rule 3 in specific, no editing of your skills happened as spatial agents are innately very skilled in cqc, and a difference in cqc codewise makes your chances harder against a difference of cqc skill. Regardless they've been told to keep themselves from interacting directly with tools, and instead like the other players, will have stick to using deadchat or whatever is appropriate instead of their admin commands.

This thread will be closed in a day if nothing else is added from your end.
