Your character name:
Sylvia Van Der Bolt
Accused character name:
Zachariah Peters / Romanye Mens
What rule(s) were broken?:
Rule 2 - MP Not following Marine Law.
Description of the incident:
Joined as CL. Informed Command Possibility of going Groundside.
Informs Command going groundside. Informs going to request gear from Req.
Warden jokes about losing respect in RO if they give me stuff (Totally fine)
Warden then says about /IF/ they could they would deploy me groundside without a shuttle. Mind you groundside and FOB was under attack according to Bravo SL in logs.
Decide to handle it ICly for now and Provost due to proper RP reasons.
Warden enters office despite calling for CMP to handle it as standard SOP. They then attempt to coerce/strongman me, genuinely funny they tried to use the “Here’s how’s this going to go.” Very funny psychology wise.
CMP Ignores the fact that their Warden also did break Marine Law.
Specifically how it is defined in ML.
Which is
Assault - To threaten or use physical force against someone with ill intent, but without intent to kill.
This includes shoving someone.
The CL is beholden to the ML. My logs showed me treating both command and the MPs with respect. They may hate WY, but they should be professional enough to be reminded that their character SHOULD be acting as professional as possible.
EDIT: wow I am really daft, I really did write an entire argument and did not see there was a third picture. I’ve edited out the bits that are now just plain wrong. Thanks whoever pointed it out to me in LOOC that I’ve forgotten.
Right, Romayne here.
Ill preface this with that I don’t remember what the warden specifically said to you at the time of the meeting. While I’m not 100% sure what i was doing at that point in time, I was doing something important, could’ve been the bug report I was making, could’ve been IRL making a phonecall, whatever I don’t remember.
I do remember a little while later the XO told the warden to stop smack talking you (The CL) on MP comms. I didnt say anything as the XO had said pretty much what I would’ve said myself. Again I was preoccupied.
Some time later, you called me into an interview which i was initially busy but eventually joined you.
You proclaimed the warden had threatened you and that was itself worthy of an assault charge. I don’t see any threat. Telling the CL to get effectively “their own ride to the surface” isnt a threat. Wheres the direct threat to your life? Yes with context theres a fob siege, but they never said they’d throw you to the sharks so to speak.
Secondly the second supposed threat. You took me aside afterwards to tell me that the warden told you that before the meeting. Frankly “Here’s how’s this is going to go” isn’t a threat either. It’s something you would state before explaining a process or something. I use it in day to day language.
Finally theres nothing in the rules that says we have to treat you with ultmost respect. RP wise, your not military, your the executive of a shady company with their hands in every facet of life. I do not get where you’ve pulled the SHOULD be acting as professional as possible line from. I was emoting being uninterested in the meeting but I wasnt mooning you in your office, which would be a bit more unbecoming of a CMP.
