Accused BYOND key:
Unknown
Accused character name:
Bryan ‘Old Timer’ Owers(Assumed)
What rule(s) were broken?:
Rule 6: No Metagaming or Metacommunication
Description of the incident:
Accused player deconstructed a hijack objective APC(Engineering Reactor Core Room) and placed it into the maintenance room directly east of its usual spot. Accused player then built reinforced walls on top of the two western entrances into that room. This effectively prevented any non-T3 from breaking into that room and destroying the objective. While Rule 6 sub-points do not explicitly state a marine cannot do this, I believe that the sub-point “Surrounding a communications tower entirely with reinforced walls to prevent Xenos attacking it without T3s.” should be assumed that it applies to all other key objectives.
As this was a-helped by myself and may be a break of rule 8 of the player report rules. I would like to mention that the handling mod(Backsea) did not give an official statement as to whether the reinforced walls were a rule break, just a clarification that the APC did exist(my original ahelp was whether or not it was missing before I mentioned a possible rule break), and that it was merely hiding a room over behind a sign(possible layering issue with APCs?). Note that this clarification was given after the round had finished to prevent IC in OOC.
Evidence:
Rule break evidence(southern most reinforced wall not pictured due to door being closed, however it was noticed upon alt-clicking the tile)
Evidence showing it was the accused player(hence the assumption. I cannot be 100% certain this was the player who broke the rule)
