Enforcement Action Taken
Description of the incident:
As the CL on Shiva’s Snowball I ran out of the secure FOB North towards LZ 2 trying to get a truck and cache of firearms I had purchased from a CLF agent in exchange for smuggling him into FOB and providing a cover story so the marines wouldn’t arrest or murder him. After leaving and entering Ice Caves I was promptly mauled by a Lurker and Drone, then saved by several members of Bravo Squad. While getting dragged back I was messaged by SeedyJatz asking why I was there, which I answered I was going to recover the Truck and items inside. After they stepped away I was messaged by Vending Machine and told that while deploying was fine I should have enlisted marine support before going out, and was noted for rule 2.
While going out alone was stupid and reckless it was by no means against server rules. Logically I should have sought help, but as Bravo was understrength and questions might be raised about the illegal nature of the items I was retrieving I decided against it and was punished by getting murdered by Xenos. I was aware of the possibility they were out there but had no concrete knowledge that anything was waiting, and there’s no roleplay rule saying I’m required to bring an escort or stay inside the FOB perimeter. While I was a careless fool there’s nothing illegal about that, unless we want to read in between the lines of the rules. I’d be perfectly happy to bribe a marine to play bodyguard, but would rather not be forced to.
