Enforcement Action Taken
Description of the incident:
I said, ‘Fuck you Queen’, for banishing Warrior GOD while they were fighting, almost getting them killed. I did not disobey any orders, and I obeyed them and went back into Filt like she asked.
While I understand that Xenos have no free will, and expressed that by following her orders, at no point is this stated in the rules that Xenos cannot express their disapproval of these orders. Furthermore, I don’t believe that human players can accurately convey what a hivemind is thinking nor should they be expected to, to such an extent, in the context of the game. Marines can say, fuck you XO, fuck you CO, even disobey orders, and while I understand that the restrictions for xenos are tighter especially when it comes to following orders, I was not aware that this extended to Insulting the Queen.
In addition, I don’t believe that WAR was acting in good faith by using banishments on people who were actively fighting and shouldn’t be expected to immediately disengage, though after the fight I did drag GOD back to filt caves and he did stay there. This is reinforced by WAR refusing to hijack later in the round in order to kill hapless marines. To summarize, I don’t think that SmellyHippie enforced this rule in good faith given that such a situation is not mentioned in the rules nor did it have any impact on the round since I did follow orders even despite my disapproval. This is at most an IC issue.
If this report is not approved, I would like an addendum to be added to the rules to prevent future situations occurring.
Evidence:
Note - Rule 2 - Xeno Roleplay: After the Queen banished someone for not listening, player said “Fuck you Queen.” While you didn’t disobey orders, Xenos have no free will. by smellyhippie (AssistantManager) on 2025-03-14 21:08:03 (ID: 26851)
