Greetings,
At round ID 27940, I was in a small group of stragglers that managed to evade a complete FOB wipe, we were attacked by a group of preds doing HC breaches while we were returning to FOB during hijack.
Our sniper specialist Seung was attacked first, we attempted to defend her but couldn’t do it since all of us were heavily fractured and most with organ damage. Our struggle was interrupted by two preds bumrushing us mid fight with the first pred and killing us.
I had less than 75% health — So low that I got critted in the first 1 hit throw combo — and had an unsplinted fracture with shrapnel.
This is a clear violation of the ruling below, as it is written in the honor code:
UN-HUNTABLE
Worthy below 75% HP, missing limbs, or hugged; worthy in key areas; worthy dragging wounded/dead allies uninvolved in your hunt to safety; worthy that are actively in combat.
———
Furthermore, preds cannot hunt honourable prey in groups according to the below:
COOPERATION
Yautja must hunt alone. The only thing you are allowed to do as a group, with consent from your other Yautja, is dispatch dishonorable prey, gear/body retrieval, and hunt abominations and defend lodges. The only case where Yautja are obliged to work together is killing abominations.
———
In my comprehesion of the honor code, fighting a predator trying to steal a marine WITHIN your group DOESN’T make you dishonorable.
Im the sniper specialist Seung that was mentioned above.
To give context, the reason that pred was after me in the first place was because we fought a newbie pred earlier in the round, ending quickly with the said pred running away when they were close to death, they got warned for it and i dont have a problem with them, although i, instead of asking from LOOC chat to Gian “Isnt this dishonorable?” sent it to IC chat instead and the pred (who i was fighting with in the beginning of the video above) tried to LPC and kill me (they can’t know that i said it in IC by mistake, so no problem in this.) for my honest mistake, and when we ran away they waited for me outside of the entire round waiting me to get out so they can kill me. It’s not a problem so far, though as said above, while we were making our way to fob after surviving hijack, as soon as the weeds became forsaken, the pred engaged with me and when i died, the other 2 preds uncloaked for some reason, baiting to engage the others and probably trying to take the gunfire away from the pred who fought me so that pred doesnt die.
With all respects to the pred WL holders and Councilors, most of my pred interactions so far have been bad, and im trying my best to not be biased, but i would guess this isnt the behaviour expected from the whitelist, wish the people who are playing preds focused more on roleplay and creating an enviroment, instead of playing the role to grief with no worry of getting banned.
We were just engaging the first predator, which would make us temporarily dishonorable to ONLY the first predator, as it’s written in the image above: “Temporarily dishonorable actions directed at only one Yautja on the hunt must be fought alone”.
I do also want to point out I’m also the one who ran off from the sniper/spotter duo before, and had stalkarino give a slap on the wrist for doing so, so I’d like to apologize for that - yall shoulda gotten the SD from me there.
I do know that I wished to join the fight, and waited until after the sniper had fallen and heard the grab animation for the drag-away to go after my marked target (the Scout). I can confirm I had no desire to assist the other pred who had gone after the spotter, but I agree it easily splits focus on the fight. I chased the Scout far up toward the north of this spot afterward, leaving the fight to the south.
If there should be a larger gap between one pred taking down a target and another picking from a group, that would be my mistake - but my assumption was that once prey has fallen and been grabbed, that initial conflict has been completed.
Hello, this was entirely my own fault. I jumped the gun severely, and should have stepped back and observed until that intial battle was concluded. My goal joining wasn’t to draw fire away from the other pred but purely to get my marked target - however that doesn’t excuse that I should have seen you were wounded due to that intial fight - AND still in a fight at that. I cannot excuse what I did here; I should have been patient and waited until the fight was over, and you were at least healed to resonable levels. I can only say that I’m sorry for this poor display of the pred whitelist, there was much more that could have been done other then what I chose to do; I’ll take whatever punishment comes my way on the chin, as this was just horrible on multiple levels by me.
To echo Quad - I’d also like to apologize for what seemed to be a 3-pred ganksquad. The round as a whole - which was probably the first “I’m enjoying chatting it up with my fellow WL nerds” being marred by my actions at the end is something I’m definitely not proud of.
Hello, thank you for the report. Both Quaddevil and Matttheficus will be receiving two week suspensions for coop hunting. The reason for suspension is that the two mentioned are newly whitelisted and should know better.
