Incident Description: This is a very low pop round. We had one person setting power, no one in sci, and I was taking care of mining as boris. At some point, I dismantled the table in front of sci for easier entry and researched like two nodes. Though my exact memory is unclear, I believe this was basic mining and inducer research, for my job and for the failing power.
I have to emphasize that I had science access from the skeleton shift, there were no scientists, there was no attempt to actually stay there and work in science, and no break in was made - one table was removed. The reasons for why I have to clarify this will be apparent below.
The player I am reporting joins minutes later. By this time I am already setting up mining equipment, teleporters, etc. He immediately asks who broke into (or “broke into”) science on radio.
I casually tell him that I removed the table and why, and this is where the strangeness begins, because the scientist goes into a rant, antagonizes me, and complains about people doing his job and his presence being pointless. The entire discussion, he is trying to frame my actions as vile, mis-represent what I actually did, and act as a victim. I will once again repeat that his job was not taken or replaced, and there was no break in, and that he was not even on the station when this happened. Despite this, the scientist actively continues to be extremely annoying on radio.
I interpret this as an attempt to make some IC conflict, and am perfectly happy to be enemies with him, and respond appropriately, but all of my aggression is purely in-character.
I am proven wrong, when the scientist reveals he very much means this stuff on a meta level by actually just cryoing during the discussion. In fact, the scientist makes it very clear that his shift has been ruined by me, and cryoes in a very dramatic fashion.
For context, the scientist has never even seen me this round, his department is untouched, and without that harmless table removal, he would not have even noticed I exist.
This also makes his prior words seem less like a parody of the typical angry breakin man, and more like a real attempt at social manipulation, or whatever.
Now, if any of his claims were actually true, I would understand, but there is close to no real reason for this kind of reaction. More accurately, his interpretation of events is complete hyperbole.
Thus, my conclusion is that this was an attempt to grief and probably stir hatred on a meta level. The scientist constantly presented the situation as some cruel and unjust replacement of him, even though he did not exist at the time and even though no real science or break-in was ever done.
I can only think of three explanations:
• The scientist was in an extremely bad situation IRL and it leaked through.
• The scientist was purposefully making an attempt to grief and stir drama on a meta level.
• The scientist was antag rolling and this was his excuse to leave immediately instead of playing.
Out of these, while the first option is not impossible, I am inclined to believe otherwise.
Edit: With the seeming reveal that the scientist is an admin, it would mean that they would have access to my note history. Unless the first explanation applies, this would likely make this a targeted attack. My note history reveals a highly specific distaste for this exact sort of meta drama. A player with access to this history conveniently choosing to construct a (mostly fake) scenario and act in this extremely specific way is much less likely to be a coincidence.
Additional Information: I will be very clear that i constantly called this person shit after he left along with ranting about all the science i was doing in the mines. This is actually how I got my own ban from the round. However, as I said, this only happened after the person left, and is thus not related to the report. In other words, my bad reaction does not excuse his actions.
