I want to comment on the events that transcended today post Cody's PK and that dee's attitude towards the PK tonight was very distasteful and not in the spirit of the server whatsoever, where he disconnected not once but twice to avoid RP and punishment, which subsequently ended up in his ban from the server. The first time he willingly disconnected, and the second time he timed out but then refused to come back on, which is as good as willingfully disconnecting mid-RP.
First during the initial confrontation and later on during the interrogation, which, had it not been interrupted, would have caused the involved characters to be able to gain information on the source of the kill as well as the reasoning, sadly were cut short due to him abruptly disconnecting without a valid reason other than "I don't want to play". We can't force him to RP if he doesn't want to but I do feel like it is in bad nature and the way things played out isn't what we are about as a community.
Disconnecting once to avoid being caught, to then being recalled to the server in order to act out the events, and then having to go AFK and saying he will come back after eating, to then refusing to come back on because 'can you just tell them to pk me i’m sick of this shit' and disallowing all the parties involved from continuing with the RP and getting a conclusion or an ending to this arc.
It left the staff members in a very awkward position trying to work out what to do and how to continue things forward, because no matter the decision we take, the players will still feel it is unfair and I agree that there is no situation in which it could be fair, and before I witnessed this today, I had not even thought that this was even possible, despite the abundance of awkward situations I've witnessed as staff.
He was toxic in LOOC, and continuously DC'd, refused to RP accordingly, telling people to just PK him, when it wasn't even his choice to choose when they decide to kill him.
I think the one month ban he landed is deserving and perhaps too short as a consequence, although it should be sufficient time to deal with this entire ordeal. Not only that, but I'm also constantly receiving complaints about the player being too PK-hungry and carrying out said PKs with minimal RP on multiple occassions, which leaves much to be said.
I've also received complaints from players about him changing his description to something completely different to what it was before he put the suit on, which in addition urges me to say that we should implement a rule change to mention a prevention to name changing to stop people becoming completely irrecognizable, both in desc and in name.
[00:34:50] [LOOC] -snipped- : if we pk him, we can't question him ICly, he can't decide to be pk'd, he hasn't been killed
