Incident Description: Clockies got outed in about 5 mins.
THEN captain or velvet rushed their swat suit and a scooter.
then they commanded everyone to cut ai cams so clockies
cant teleport around they also called shuttle the moment it was
available to force raid. this is evident as they said theese things
on common comms. This is massive metagaming and powergaming

Yes. I did order science and engineering to give out screwdrivers and wire cutters to the crew to cut cameras.
You claim this is against R9, metagaming. It is not. You are allowed to know clock cultists use cameras to teleport. This is allowed within the rules.
Onto powergaming. It is true, I did wear my captain’s hardsuit. Many saw it and no one knew why. There was plasma in distro and I single handedly stopped it.
The station and cultists are at war, plasma flooding the station is allowed.
I actually removed my hardsuit and threw it away for more mobile armour. Hardsuit is pointless, there is no space in Reebe.
As advice, I’d call cutting all cameras the same as stopping the station from generating power to prevent clockies from siphoning power; damaging your own station for the sake of an advantage; an advantage which should be patched. Abductors and clockies should bypass this whole camera thing and just have full view; especially abductors.
Additionally, cutting cams and calling shuttle as fast as possible, I’d call an exploit based wholly on looking at game mechanics tbh; but the shuttle does have to be called eventually.
Saying they are at war is nonsense, you don’t call the shuttle as fast as possible on blood cult.
What did the AI say during all this? Was there an AI? If there was an AI, it had all its camms cut, must have been fun.
The shuttle call forcing war is an issue with the mode. The ark should be forced open after around an hour, like it was with the old version.
I should also mention, cutting cameras does not prevent the clock teleport. It only makes it impossible for them to see where they’re teleporting to. With a bit of help from the Eminence, the cultists can know where to teleport.
I’m confused, excluding the shuttle calling part.
WHAT does we allowed to know IC , do we allowed to know what clockies/bloodcultist is, do we allowed to know what their weakness, they way of working etc?
or is that like Chaplain job to explain to the crew what those cultist are??
It’s entirely dependent on server administration on how far they want to go with what IC knowledge of antagonists people are equipped with, but from my experience at Yogs at least, it was part of roleplay to find out the abilities and characteristics of each antag in round. It would be considered metagaming/fail RP if you somehow knew that changelings were susceptible to BZ or that a blue APC meant malf AI without seeing it firsthand. I’m not sure how strongly this rule applies or what you’re allowed to know ICly, but based on the M1.8 rule above, your encounter with clockcult should always be your canonical “first”.
From what I’ve come to understand about MRP, however, this report being accepted would go against the standing precedent that exists on the server. If it were to be against the rules to know antags abilities and weaknesses, things may need to change. I stick on LRP because I know there’s no misconceptions like this and this may be one of many things that, if enforced, would push more population to LRP.
