Major Dausin Redford
What rule(s) were broken?:
Battlefield Execution did not meet the rules for Battlefield Execution.
Whitelist in question:
Commanding Officer
Description of the incident:
During briefing I attempted to turn my body to talk to another member of my squad by clicking on the screen. Unfortunately I had my shotgun out and it fired. I immediately typed “shit” and “sorry.” during this time I was hit by a round and went down. I was more than willing to deal with MPs for the mistake, but I was executed without even getting a third word out seconds later after the major ran out of their protective enclosure to execute a prone and disabled marine. No announcement was ever made about why I was executed as required by the rules. Again, I was willing to deal with the in-game consequences for my mistake but was never given the chance.
It did not follow the rules on battlefield executions.
A threat to your command.
→ It was clear it was unintentional and this was not a threat to command. I was downed by someone before the BE. The major was behind the glass briefing screen before I was downed.
A threat to persons.
→ A shot was accidentally discharged from the shotgun, but the shotgun was never cocked again and I was already making it know it was a mistake before I was downed. I was executed while downed and was not an active threat.
A threat to the ship or operation.
→ Didn’t touch the ship and was downed already.
In addition:
Battlefield Executions should not be done in such a way it creates collateral damage or risks involving innocent parties or persons,
→ We were packed in the briefing chairs and I was prone. Dausin was obviously in a hurry and could have killed someone else by firing in such a crowded area if they misclicked like I did.
If the offense is severe enough and the individual has not been restrained or taken into custody by the Military Police, a Battlefield Execution may be carried out at the Commanding Officer’s discretion.
→ Only a single shot was fired by me, I didn’t rack another round, and I was already apologizing before being downed and disabled. I couldn’t even move and was already dying when I was executed.
Upon completion of a Battlefield Execution, an announcement must be made within a reasonable time explaining why the person was executed and noting their name and position.
→ No announcement was made as required and no reason was given for the instant execution when I was already disabled and prone.
Aside from the conditions outlined above, Battlefield Execution may also be issued to punish LRP behavior, out-of-character or meme references, and explicit adult content,
→ The opposite really. Accidental discharges resulting in injuries happen in and out of game. You don’t expect the commanding officer in a military sprinting over outside their protective glass window to immediately execute the disabled solider for it.
Ultimately this was an IC situation that was handled by an OOC moderation tool instead of MPs.
