"IH-Vagabond TDM"
Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2020 12:06 am
There's something that was bothering me with all the drama yesterday, but since everybody was all upsetti spaghetti, I held my tongue and figured I'd bring it up today. A lot of what happened in the drama that caused the server to get shut down was labelled as "IH vs Vagabond TDM", and was said to be a widespread problem.
I didn't see greytiding in the situation that happened. I saw a single IH overreaching their authority to execute a vagabond after escalating the situation past it's tipping point, and then that man got executed. And then he got banned for two weeks.
I didn't see greytiding in the next round when an non-antag IH starting lasering people in the hallways with a Valkyrie for shits and giggles, he killed four people. Yes he was jobbanned, but that's not relevant to this discussion. By and large the biggest issue I've seen is IH "validhunting" if it can even be called validhunting when it's not even valid half the time.
Is there IH vs Vagabond TDM? Yes, there is, but it's not the massive every-round problem it's made out to be, it's by and large IH just escalating as many situations as they can so they can shoot people. Finally, after over a year of it being suggested, IH timelocks are being considered. It sucks that it took a huge fit by one of the staff to see that this was necessary, nothing against him, I'd get irritated dealing with it every round too.
But why is this man still banned? Everyone who saw the situation that I've talked to didn't see wrongdoing on his part. How thoroughly were the logs checked before this ban was handed out? Was this admin pressured by the headmin to hand out a ban? I would like answers to these questions.
