Description of the incident:

Hello All,

I hope you are well and are enjoying time with your families.

Round: 31600

Accused: Elder Mal’rah Loxzil

Issue: Poor sportsmanship; lack of RP engagement

Context: John Fyre was injured, unarmed, and posed no threat

Action Taken by Accused: Immediate kill, plasmacast, decapitation without RP

Violation: Predator Honor Code, Spirit of Whitelist (prey should be deadly)

Impact: Encounter was uninteresting, lacked skill, and reflected poorly on the Predator role

During round 31600, “Elder Mal’rah Loxzil” engaged in behavior, which, while I believe to be in poor form, did not constitute a report. Nonetheless, I have been persuaded otherwise by a handful of others to file one. The chief complaint was that of poor sportsmanship. I (surgeonaa2), playing John Fyre, had neither a weapon nor armor at the time of the encounter with the predator. While RPing with another marine, we were looking for a flare to light our smokes. We encountered the accused standing motionless. Having no recourse to combat, given my injured state and lack of equipment, I engaged in RP with the humanoid. Given the lighting conditions, I offered the man in the darkness a smoke. At which point the accused killed me, then plasmacasted the other marine and promptly decapitated me. At no point did the accused engage with any form of RP other than combat engagement. At no point was I able to flee or mount any defense. I do believe the accused did knowingly and willingly engage despite the lack of any actual or perceived threat to itself. At no point during the engagement would I have had any ability to cause meaningful damage to the accused. As a whole, I found this to be a disappointing RP encounter, and it was neither unique nor interesting, and added little to the round. At no point did I feel there was any demonstration of skill, of either combat or RP. Finally, I believe this reflected poorly upon other predators, of whom I have had otherwise engaging encounters. To reference the Predator Honor Code document, “Prey, to the Yautja, are non-Yautja creatures which are deadly (…)”

Thank you for your time,

You offered a cigarette to a 7 foot tall monster. That’s LRP. Temporarily Dishonorable states “Prey committing LRP actions against the predator or metagaming the honor code”. The other marine, who was armed, chose to stand there and do nothing while going “mhm” - even after being attacked, which is also LRP.

Standing still when your buddy got killed isnt how a Marine is going to respond to his buddy getting eviscerated. You had full HP at the time as well, and the lack of armor made me swap to wristblades when I coulda just exploded you for the cigarette bit.

Predators are also not required to RP with you when theyre hunting. Theyre antagonists.

I have bigger fish to fry, and I won’t argue the toss with this. I, and a handful of others, found it to be lazy. I’ve nothing more to say.

Another note:

I’m a Clan Elder - I dont particularly wish to be Banished for smoking :patrice:

I find it lazy that the answer to a 7 foot tall monster killing you and your friend is to stand there and take it without fighting, running, or any attempt at a normal response.

Offering the looming shadow of an 8 feet tall monster a cigarette is LRP. Therefore the actions taken by the Whitelistee are valid and this report is denied.
