Deltard priming grenades, running at xenos, and blowing himself up after PB throwing them at about .5 seconds remaining to intentionally suicide bomb and score the huge damage / stun of blowing up grenades right on top of xenos. Was used in this situation to kill two xenos and at least one OTHER marine. I believe this violates rule 2 of marine sanity, as no sane person should be trying to blow themselves up if they’re not being captured or at risk of dying regardless - as well, I think this potentially violates rule 6 of metagaming, as knowing you’ll just be revived with no problems isn’t treating death like death (but this also circles back into rule 2).
Basically creates an unfun situation when playing as a xeno and sets a bad precedence going forward to encourage gamey use of OT grenades as suicide bomb tactics.
Spun stories and tried to downplay it in OOC after the round with false ‘facts’ of the situation after admitting to it in dead chat. Unsure if he did it more than once in the round.

I have verified that this is the one and only instance of the player in question performing these actions throughout the round. However, at this time that is of no more than academic interest.
I sympathize with a distaste for how people sometimes treat death. However, throwing a danger-close grenade at the enemy does not currently satisfy the conditions for breaching rules 2 or rules 6.
While I can understand the perception that someone suicide charging xenomorphs might seem like a breach of “Rule 2: Roleplay’s” sanity rules, it is not. A person need not be insane to sacrifice themselves for their comrades or for the greater good, especially given how treatable death is for marines. This ties into the second aspect of this accusation.
As far as “Rule 6: Metagaming” is concerned, marines are aware of how easily they can be brought back; that is not information relegated to out of character.
Ultimately, I personally agree that current sentiments surrounding death are perhaps in need of adjustments, however the player in question is not guilty of rule-breaks as far as this player report is concerned. The player report itself is denied , but I hope that discussions continue around what can be done to address the current state of dying and death on Colonial Marines.
