Allright, I’ve been delaying this long enough and managed to get enough time to deal with this rather large report.
Firstly, let’s discuss the clown HOP actions:
_He opened more clown slots and set it to prio, then gave them extended access:

So, what we see here is a clown HOP giving rather heavily extended access to his clowns, he did RP as a head of clowns and that was part of the gimmick.
The clown’s HOP also made “masterkeys” for departments, I couldn’t establish if they were used but that’s a pretty bad thing to do.
By that point the HOS gets involved, arrest the HOP clown, confiscate IDs, he do goes a bit overboard, but there was a lot of clown so whatever.
A bit later, a clown gets into the HOP’s office and finds AA in the console…use it to give themselves AA in customs, by that point sec did shitsec a bit to get the clowns under control, but giving yourself AA is self antagging and I don’t feel it’s warranted with the situation.
[2023-02-07 20:16:10.504] ID: Trappist-1/(Grin Fandango) assigned /datum/job/captain job to the silver identification card, overriding all previous access using the identification card (Captain) at Customs (145, 188, 2).
it gets worse, AA is now leaked and spreads:
[2023-02-07 20:24:46.639] ID: Will2survive/(Eustace Beail) added Kitchen to Gogo The Mistake’s ID Card (Clown) using the identification card (Captain) at Head of Personnel’s Office (140, 129, 2).

Self-service AA in response to a mild xenos threat:
[2023-02-07 20:25:40.867] ID: Killermankey/(Robert McHonk) assigned /datum/job/captain job to Holden Rathen’s ID Card (Lawyer), overriding all previous access using the identification card (Captain) at Head of Personnel’s Office (139, 129, 2).

[2023-02-07 20:25:59.464] ID: Killermankey/(Robert McHonk) assigned /datum/job/captain job to Iga’s ID Card (Quartermaster
[2023-02-07 20:26:20.975] ID: Killermankey/(Robert McHonk) assigned /datum/job/captain job to S.P.A.R.4ky’s ID Card
[2023-02-07 20:26:44.464] ID: Killermankey/(Robert McHonk) assigned /datum/job/captain job to Eustace Beail’s ID Card (Cook)
[2023-02-07 20:27:10.803] ID: Bigmogus/(Kaylee Whiteman) removed Keycode Auth. from Kaylee Whiteman’s ID Card (Medical Doctor) using the identification card (Captain) at Head of Personnel’s Office (140, 127, 2).
[2023-02-07 20:38:26.090] ID: Thom_seagal/(Mike Osborn) added Brig Physician to Mike Osborn’s ID Card (Security Officer) using Robert McHonk’s ID Card (Head of Clowns) at Head of Personnel’s Office (140, 128, 2).
Okay? Personnally I don’t think it was worth AA, but I’ll give players in round who had to deal with it the final say if they really needed AA.
So…with all those logs and after spending way too much time trying to establish a clear picture, I’ve reached the conclusion the clown’s HOP is at fault, his gimmick wasn’t properly executed, it was good as long as it was funny, but they’re inherently at fault for making AA, not properly securing it etc…
The player has a loooong history, but due to the age of the report and no recent notes, it’ll stay a note.
The clown who gave himself AA will be noted accordingly.
I’ve left a lot of stuff out of this breakdown, the sheer amount of logs made processing it slow (notably escalation beetween sec and clown, in the end sec was within their right to stop the clowns with semi AA pranking around (trespass and such) and going after the clown’s HOP).
As for it escalating to gulagging, intent was to send them to mine their sentence away, fair with the amount of pranking and pain sec had to deal with.
Faulty officers were already handled in another report.
NB: The gimmick was funny for a bit, there is some good logs in there, but too many clowns pranking around with heavily extended access and no supervision…not a good idea.
