See above. The fact there’s even an argument and that this report hasn’t gone through yet is comical. The mind of a PFC is entirely irrelevant to the scope of an operation. No one’s operational ability hinges on the thoughts or comments of a PFC. No one is subordinate to a PFC. The PFC has 0 ability, whatsoever, to undermine an operation w/ mere words unless he’s literally going around asking people to join his armed revolt.
The fact that this LtCol had a schizo meltdown over a single PFC’s salty D.A.S.O. is honestly, pretty normal; my time in the Air Force under CMSgt Bass has shown me that. The actual murder of him rather than non-judicial or judicial punishment, though, is insane. CO is supposed to be an HRP role. An SO directly countermanding your orders is a reasonable B.E. - a random dickfuck PFC is not. Even if were an SO, since this occurred shipside, w/ MPs present, a B.E. would still be like such an overtly hyper-violent reaction that it’s super unrealistic.
A CO murdering his fellow citzen of the United Americas for nothing other than a stupid comment which had 0 credibility and no actual actions tied to it, is insane. It should be grounds for mutiny.
They weren’t under fire, or risk of life, limb; this was just cold-blooded shit.
EDIT: Let’s even say that CO isn’t necessarily an HRP role, but a role designed to make the game more fun for everyone. That’s a nice way to view the role, I love the few COs I’ve seen that seem to embrace that concept — what does merc’ing dickfuck PFC do for anyone? Nothing. This dude ‘Jester’ or whatever got IRL mad and then doubled-down on his insane decision to execute the guy
battlefield execution happens on the battlefield. this idea of COs having a “i dont like you” button shouldnt be encouraged when the MPs exist, are PRESENT, and are more than capable of handling the issue… and it’s literally just DASO, not sedition, as the “ability to undermine” wasnt credible at all
besides the fact it’s not HRP, it’s also not fucking fun, at all
if they’re concerned about discussion they should really delete this guy’s post then…
dude’s like “you questioned a college graduate, get shot in the fucking dome, 20-year-old PFC”
that one XO that OB’d those rebel leaders is starting to look like a model commander. at least what he did was FUNNY
edit: why is it now a whitelist report? round-removing people at the very start of the op is now a whitelist issue? i take this back nvm
insanity that something that another player would be casually banned for (murdering another person) without a second thought requires a sudden coalition of individuals (the whitelist managers) to gather and commune in their dark secret alcove (discord) to decide the fate of an individual like a dark cult deciding whether or not to sacrifice them to appease their eldritch gods (acid goop)
I sort of get why these kinds of BEs are considered valid but the thing that seems baffling to me is this part:
I either risk the operation, risk a riot, or BE you.
Like what? Risk the operation? Has there ever been a single round where one PFC calling CO stupid has ruined the operation? Same with riots, riots can definitely happen but it’s not from one PFC insulting CO. Also are arrests not a thing to consider? The ONLY option to save the operation from this PFC is to kill them on the spot? Makes no sense to me. Just seems like an absurd exaggeration of the risk that an insult poses
a player killed another player over a minor transgression
it shouldn’t matter if they’re a co whitelist or not. in fact, being reductionist was exactly my point; it’s not a strawman to say that having two separate groups that clearly have wildly differing opinions on how certain things should be moderated is, in my opinion, detrimental to the health of the game and said whitelists.
if a whitelisted player breaks a rule, and it is clearly a rulebreak, it should be punished as such. we shouldn’t need two months for a group of three people to arbitrarily decide months after the fact that, well, it TECHNICALLY didn’t break the rule, even though literally anyone else in that position would be punished for it
