Description of the incident:
The queen, who was on ovi at the time, had made an announcement informing xenos they would be banished if they were to attack the fob. I, being a healer drone, understood this and began weeding the security department building (sec was a completely separate building with considerable distance between it and the fob), as it was right next to the temporary hive the queen was ovi’d at. While doing this, I informed the queen on hivemind chat that I was weeding sec, to which I received no reply.
Fast forward a bit, I’m walking around the southeastern part of sec, spamming c, when a group of 3 or so marines wander into the building (which was unexpected as marines had fully retreated to fob), and manage to shoot me a couple times and set me on fire while I run away from them to the northwestern part of the sec building. After the incident had ended and I was safely resting near a lurker who had patted me down, the queen began spectating me, and I was banished five or so seconds after without any word from the queen. Instead of freaking out, I stood in place and told the queen several times what had happened and that I hadn’t disobeyed her in any way, in an attempt to hopefully solve what I assumed to be a misunderstanding. These efforts were met with the queen completely ghosting me and ignoring me until a xeno came along and slashed me to death. I spent the rest of the round as a ghost, unable to rejoin it as a result of the banishment.
An ahelp was made about this, but the round ended before it could conclude and the responding admin left the game, so I’m hoping to solve the issue here. This is a queen many people including me have complained about in the past for being extremely toxic towards her own xenos and handing out banishment like candy, and I believe it has come to a point where this person doesn’t acknowledge that banishments are a serious tool which seriously affects the round of the person behind the screen and should only be used when it is necessary for the best interest of the players. Instead, they carelessly hand them out as if it were a mere gameplay mechanic, often without making any attempt at seeing if their reason for it is valid or not.
