Cody.Faulkner and Fury|Tyranus has been sanctioned for:
Quote:2.1 System and local chats are to be kept in roleplay and in English at all times. Any OOC (Out of character) chat should be marked with " // " and only used when absolutely necessary. OOC communication in group or private chat between players will cease if one player requests it. Admins are free to communicate with any player at any time.
1.3 Every player must have one ID equipped on their ship. Player should follow the restrictions and allowances listed in their ID and their roleplay and conduct must match the actions of their characters. In cases where these restrictions and allowances conflict with the server rules, the ID overrides the rules.
Consequences:
Cody - ooRP in local chat is not allowed. The screens and logs show the pirates PM'ing you to stop ooRP in Local. SInce your Cody ships have been delted, I went ahead and found your non-deleted ships and removed money from one ship (around 5mil) and guns/equipment from both ships for the 4 lines of ooRP.
Fury|Tyranus - Your ID clearly states you can only attack transports and freighters in house space. Your demand for the Bounty Hunter GUNBOAT was in House space, and thus against your ID rules. Guns/Money removed from your ship to pay for that poor Bunter's GB.
Also as a reminder, when you hire a Freelancer, it's best to pay them after the job is done...
If you post in this sanction and are not directly involved or a leader of the accused person's faction be advised that you are consenting to be subjected to the reprisal of my choice which may involve in game repercussions up to a ban. Blaming members of your immediate family, neighbours, friends, pets, and assorted Orcs, Trolls and any other legendary creatures may result in the use of Admin Right #CTE 750AE
It was very necessairy to inform all players in Fury| group what they were doing was against their ID, as they were about to pirate Bounty Hunter gunboat - what I did. At the moment things happened so fast I had no time to search player list and PM one player and I didn't know command to PM whole group.
My intention was to prevent players from breaking their ID, since I deemed that, according to the server rules you have pointed me out, it is allowed to post ooRP with // preceeding it in extreme situations.
That's not an acceptable excuse. It does not take that long to find a player name, and saying "everything happened too fast" doesn't work, because you could've have informed them of that fact after they pirated him via PM. An additional 10-15 seconds to find the Fury| tag in the conversation window is not that much time wasted. that 10-15 seconds could've saved you a sanction for writing 4 lines of ooRP in Local. And in the end, it didn't matter cause the pirates did what you said not to in the first place.
If that's how you feel, then by all means that's your decision. We are not saying don't intervene. We're saying don't intervene by breaking rules yourself.

No rules were broken to my understandment, since I acted within quoted rule. I even bolded that part to you. And yes, that is how I feel about helping players and being sanctioned for it.
But that was NOT absolutely necessary, as you could've spent a few seconds finding their name and PM'ing them. Examples of only used when absolutely necessary would be if your Disco is about to crash, you have a RL emergency and need to leave the computer, or anything that would require everyone to know that something is happening to warrant using local versus a PM. You warning someone that they might be breaking rules is not something that requires immediate ooRP in local. Ever. You PM someone about that, and kindly inform them that 'Hey, what you're doing is actually against the rules. Just trying to help so you don't get sanctioned". If they continue (Which they did) then you leave it be and file a report. That again does not warrant an ooRP message. This thread is closed, as I have tried explaining to you and you keep arguing with me about it. Still have issue? PM one of the staff please, but you'll get the same answer.
Fury|Tyranus, if you would like to speak about this further, feel free to PM me or another admin.
