Oh.
E: I tried not to be shitcurity. But if you continually piss me off, I WILL be shitcurity.
See, this, and this:
Damnit. Second time the shutle just explodes into sensless violence while I am HoS. Fucking shit. Not happy about it. Maybe I ma just shit HoS, definitly not playing that again in a long while....

There seems to be some strange kind of mindset regarding security. Security is shitcurity if they're arresting you, period. They're not doing it right, they don't need to flash you, they BURKLECUFFED ME OMG BAN HE, that is WAAAY too long of a time, blah blah blah. But if they saved your ass from getting shanked to death, suddenly they're okay.
Frankly, when I play security, I do not give a single fuck about your opinion of my job playing security, and in fact, telling me your opinion often doesn't improve my performance, it makes me more likely to be shitcurity. Straight up. I'm usually very polite, mannerly, and cooperative (Clowns exempted from this policy.) and I will generally give you a warning or reprimand rather than brig you. But the instant you start arguing with me, telling me I'm wrong, or anything like that, I'm going to brig your ass. As for the times? If you're being kinda cool, I'll LET YOU GO WITH A WARNING. That's it. "Hey, don't attack people with spears, bro. That's bad." But I swear to god, you call me shitcurity, fight arrest, try to run and generally make it a hassle? I'm giving you five minutes. Flat. Yes, it WAS a medium/light offense. But you got a BAD attitude and I guess that means I should too. The Space Law book? It's not my bible. It's GUIDELINES. I'm not going to give you 20 minutes for vandalism, but I will go from 2 minutes for a medium/light offense to 4 or 5 if I think it's appropriate.
As for heads, I will STRAIGHT UP arrest the Captain, RD, HoP, CMO, CE, or (If I'm a basic officer and the HoS is doing illegal stuff) the HoS. No if's, and's or but's about it. I don't give a fuck what job you have, illegal is illegal. It's illegal for the Captain to just decide to have someone borged, sorry if it says otherwise in the wiki, but I'm not going to stand there and watch you borg the clown for being a clown, or the CMO for being drunk, or some shady guy for being shady. Not gonna happen. I will arrest you in a heartbeat, and then charge you with murder or attempted murder. Also, heads other than the HoP, Captain, and HoS are NOT security. They do not have the authority to arrest people or use weaponry on them. This does in fact include the CMO shooting someone up with sleep toxin, the CE stunprodding people, and the RD... Bombing people? Siccing borgs on people? Whatever the RD would do.
Admins, correct me if I'm wrong there. Security is not conditional. I HAVE arrested Captains, CMOs, CEs, and HoPs before. I would FULLY expect someone to arrest me in any head position if I misbehaved, and I HAVE been arrested as Captain, and HoP before. The arrest procedures are done in a specific manner for a reason, and bitching about them just makes me more likely to give you something to actually bitch about: Read: MORE BRIG TIME. You should only flee arrest if you're carrying traitor items/it was a capital offense/you think I'm a changeling.
Which brings me to another point: Lawyers do have brig access, but I will not allow lawyers brig access (That is, I will arrest them for trespassing) if they do not do as I say inside the brig. It's totally cool with me if you want to represent your client, it really is. I enjoy the RP there. But I WILL give you orders. "Please step back and stand by that wall, I have to do something." If you don't comply, then I will stop being polite and start stunning you. If YOU mess up at your job, you have to deal with getting stunned and thrown out of the brig somewhat unceremoniously. If
I mess up, someone is going to push me down, take my gun, kill me, space me, and go on a rampage. I generally inform lawyers of this in game. Also, I don't tolerate you getting in my way when I'm transporting criminals/suspects to the brig. Anyone approaching me while I'm apprehending someone is a HUGE threat, so I reserve the right to stun you and leave you in the dust for the clowns.
All that said, it's a game. It's okay to take it seriously and be upset by it, but if you aren't having fun, leave. Go play something else. OR ADMINHELP IT. Bitching in OOC is just annoying, AGAINST THE RULES, and serves no purpose other than to fill the OOC with hate and anger. Also, it's a no-warning ban-able offense. I'm totally cool with an admin telling me, 'Hey, don't do that. Because I said so.' but arguing with me IC is not going to have the desired effect AT ALL.
Sigh. Sadly, I had to dump another rant on all of you, but there is often a reason we don't have a Captain or HoS, and it's because people try to bully them into playing their way. As a Captain or HoS, it's my way or the highway, and it HAS to be that way, or I might as well play a glorified assistant.
What the fuck? Why do people ghost the moment they are fucking arrested? Do they enjoy sitting around for the rest of the round instead of spending a few minutes in jail?
>.> Because they're sore losers? Some of my VERY BEST RP has been in the jail or permabrig, it's THEIR loss. Just leave them in there and forget them.
