Incident Description: Midway through a round I got the sleeper syndicate agent with the target of a chef. I had the blood drunk saw so I just went and killed him, after dragging him to the chapel I was going to cut off and take his head. Right as I entered the chapel Ben Tuco comes running in (ben did not witness the crime he heard about it on the radio as there was 1-2 other witnesses). Ben immediately (as a VIP) grabs the dead chef chucks him at me and tries to grab my saw. Keep in mind we have security on at this time, Ben proceeds to kill me with a police baton he took from security. Ben takes my traitor uplink with 13 tokens SAYS IN CHAT theres 13 left and that hes going to buy some nice stuff with this. He took the saw as well, I would say if this isnt the most clear cut example of power gaming I dont know what is. He took a baton from security “just in case” proceeded to vaild hunt me. This is in addition to the harrassment that I have had from ben for the past 3 rounds Ive seen him on. In one round he followed me around to throw a sleugh of insults just because he thought I was “being suspicious”.
Bum rushing your target(s) for round removal is really not desirable from antagonists. Your job as an antagonist is to make rounds interesting which means getting others involved.
I spoke with the other player on this point.
I did not see Ben throwing the chef. The only thing I saw was an attempt to run away and rescue the chef and disengage from combat. Ben did not kill you in this first confrontation.
You later ambushed Ben and had beaten him nearly to crit (13 HP iirc) before he began fighting back after trying to get away again. Ben then won the fight with a wooden baton he found in maints, due to public nanites healing saving his life. Yay OP nanites, so strong they take you back from the brink of death
He did not keep the saw or actually purchase items from the uplink. Nonetheless the theft and announcement of the uplink and pretending to buy things from it is really nasty behavior, seemingly done in spite because they knew they weren’t allowed to actually buy things.
It was not from security, it was the old wooden baton that can spawn in maints. This is far from a powerful item and is mostly kept and used for flavor.
The only reason he was even able to win the fight was because he decided to partake in public nanites, which is really not something I can fault him for. His escalation when attacked was appropriate.
TL;DR
The issues were bum-rushing to rescue the chef with no regard for their life + especially the uplink incident after they defended themselves, because it seemed to be born entirely from spite/malice.
The wimpy wooden baton from maints I am not willing to rule on as powergaming.
