Timeline:
5/26/2019 - ~9:00PM, join HSE server as URF character Calvin Kulevar.
5/26/2019 - ~1000PM, UNSC faction conducts unannounced raid of URF Thorn.
5/26/2019 - ~1015PM, Garth Pawolski, a ranking officer, spotted engaging URF forces on Thron with a M41 SSR launcher. Hits Kulevar, taken out of round due to splash damage.
5/27/2019 - ~12:30AM, same round. G. Pawolski and other UNSC faction characters leave Bertels en masse via life boats. By now, Streltsy has respawned as ONI guard Tyrannius Burian.
5/27/2019- 12:30AM-1AM, UNSC faction characters are repeatedly denied access to ONI VT9 base. See Screenshot 0.5.
5/27/2019 - ~1AM, UNSC faction characters found in ONI base after shutters closed. The three guards move in and are demanded to surrender IMMEDIATELY UPON SITE. See screenshot 2.5. Notice that ONI Guard Sceemer was hit despite despite not firing his weapon.
5/27/2019 - 1AM-1:30AM UNSC faction - specifically G. Pawolski - proceeds to fire rockets from an M41 SSR launcher, along with small arms fire, and heavy arms at ONI forces immediately after demanding surrender. No responses given, no time given. See Screenshots 3-5.
5/27/2019 ~1:30AM. IC options exhausted, Streltsy logs Admin complaint. See Screenshot 6.
Summary:
G. Pawolski was encountered on two occasions sporting heavy weapons in a meta-gaming way. An M41 SSR launcher was used for close quarters combat because, as was quoted in Discord's Halostation server - "I mean yeah I use the rocket launcher I'm not saying it isn't busted (5/26/2017 10:31PM)" and "no big secret its stupid good (5/26/2019 10:31PM)." This was not once but twice, on two separate occasions (~1015PM 10/26/2019 and ~1:15AM 10/27/2019). Rockets were carried solely for the purpose of being 'busted' in the terms of IC damage with no other IC reason noted - no antitank purposes, no designs for antiair. This was not against heavily armored targets. This was not against covenant forces. This was against - one (1) URF regular and one (1) ONI security guard. According to the player's paraphrased reasons, it was solely for the purpose of metagaming - using overbearing weaponry known to knock players out of the round without IC justification purely to win an engagement. Therefore, I move to have the player momentarily blacklisted from UNSC roles. I won't ask for a ban but I want some punishment for using blatant, LRP metagaming to 'win the game' against other players trying to enjoy a roleplaying experience. This is poor sportsmanship, poor play style, and poor conduct.
