Description of the incident:
I joined in on a hunting grounds round and wandered around until I ran into a UPP minigunner and someone else. We then wandered around together for a while, without hearing any pred sounds or fighting. We came into the sand area and after a short period, I decided to shoot down a door in one of the shacks to see if they were inside. When I broke into the shack I looked around and only saw some carcasses hung up and a plate of meat on a table, I started to eat the meat and was met with an eradication sphere to the back of my head, instantly killing me. Extremely confused as to what happened, I was informed in deadchat that I was classified as dishonorable for it. I went to the rules, found where the honor code was, and read that “Prey rushing predator buildings to breach them and prey being LRP towards each other or to the predator are dishonorable”. I’m not sure how I can justify that I wasn’t rushing buildings, but I wasn’t sure what was going to be behind it. I’ve played hunting grounds a few times and I didn’t remember anything useful in most of the buildings. I thought it was quite mean to summon an ERT to hunt, and then blow me up without ever appearing to us beforehand because I blew down a door to a shack! It wasn’t even the big temple up north. I did hear in deadchat that they said something in chat about leaving the area but I went back and saw no such chat logs in my chat, maybe a bad timing thing on my part.
I wasn’t intending to rush any pred buildings, and being blown up by a predator explosive bomb thing without ever seeing or fighting him was a let down for me. If the dishonorable rule could be clarified more to me as to why it was such a egregious sin that I committed or a predator whitelist person would tell me why that was the best course of action I would much appreciate it!
Also I think the predator blew up the building more than me with their eradication sphere, destroying about 3 chairs and the floor O.O
Thanks for reading I guess, I’m not sure if I’m just stupid or I find this honor code part a bit silly. If it was like “If a hunted breaks into a building they are dishonorable” which would make more sense to me than the current rule!
