OOC Name: Freeman
SteamID: STEAM_0:1:44149338
Character Name: Yuri Kazmir
What happened:
Mudpie (Yuri Kazmir) stole a SKAT from Freedom -- well, was allowed to keep it because he told Albatross he was going "soul searching" and would need it in the Zone -- and promptly switched to Duty. This is the second(?) time he's done this. I have some concerns with a stalker repeatedly deciding to murder his friends but we'll pretend that is an IC issue and move on.
Through a little recon and detective work my character Masha figured out he'd done this. By this I mean it was painfully obvious when Duty got a new JSgt with a radsuit the day after Mudpie left Freedom with a suit of equal value that he'd done this. She was already suspicious and had said at the time that he was leaving that he was probably just going to defect, so go figure. Mind you I had no idea who Freeman was at this stage but anyway I figured it out and Masha posted a bounty for his capture.
This bounty has been up for a few days with no results, probably because Freeman hasn't been on the character since it was posted. But in any event he got on tonight and was lured out of the base to the gas swamp by Nasca's character Mother (along with her beta orbiters Kad, Leshiy and Viktor) who was attempting to collect the bounty, on the premise of him collecting a repaired suit for a fellow Dutyer.
Masha was contacted and decided to get involved in a disguise so a CS-1 was chosen and I edited my description accordingly. However, there were two snags. One was Ryan's autism:
[PDA - the_leshy]: masha_the_ho this is the 'masha' with the big autobot suit right?i
Leshiy (ライアン): [OOC] oh no.
And the other was the script's:
] rp_changename Corsair
Masha has changed their name to Corsair
That's right, the script brilliantly broadcasts to everyone when a character changes names. I suspect this was responsible for Freeman suddenly changing his mind at this exact moment and sprinting back across the map to the Duty base, declaring that the Dutyer in question never used the suit he was picking up.
He then messaged Nasca on SF...
11:54 PM - Freeman: eh
11:54 PM - Freeman: nice try though
11:54 PM - Freeman: nearly had me
11:54 PM - Freeman: lul
The PDA exchange between Mother and Yuri continued until Freeman noticed me, Ryan, and Benji standing outside the Duty base. It was at this moment that going to bed became a huge priority for him and he disconnected without warning.
11:56 PM - Freeman: lmao
11:56 PM - Freeman: ur guys are walking around the duty base
11:56 PM - Nasca: not 'my guys'
11:57 PM - Freeman: then why is there
11:57 PM - Freeman: pirate renamed (me or my character???)
11:57 PM - Freeman: walking in the duty base

'Mother': [RADIO] //lmfao he just
Corsair: [RADIO] // hahhahahah he disconnected
Corsair: // hahhahahah he disconnected
'Mother': [RADIO] //ur guys are in the duty base !!! and he d/cd
Corsair: [RADIO] // he fucking
Corsair: // he fucking
Corsair: [RADIO] // saw me
Corsair: // saw me
Corsair: [RADIO] // walk in
Corsair: // walk in
Corsair: [RADIO] // and dced
Corsair: // and dced
Corsair: [RADIO] // omfg
Corsair: // omfg
'Mother': [RADIO] //yeah he told me specifically he saw you renamed and then quit
I've been specifically avoiding getting involved in this with Iskra, my merc, because I want to avoid the chance of any possible subconscious conflict of interest on my part. So when a trap is laid and triggered by Freeman only for him to shift+w out of it when he notices a mistyped /msg and a name-change in console -- with nothing that could possibly have caused this change of attitude IC -- I'm happy to throw up a red flag. I think this is a pretty clear-cut case of metagame.
What do I want done about it? I don't know. I guess I'd like to see him banned but I don't see that actually fixing anything on his part long-term. The shit he stole from Freedom is pretty expensive, it's a big hit to our wallet as a faction when we're already struggling. A re-RP in which he's forced to go along with the trap won't be fun for anyone since he'll probably drag his feet and minimum-effort through it, and that's no way to end a character.
I don't know. But I want something done.
