I need a hug or euthanasia, not sure which - what do you guys think about what happened? So I'm Finola, and I was first aboard and all that on my new ship. I posted helpful information and all that good stuff, like what was done on my first ship that did so very well. One of the things I posted was common newbie mistakes to avoid, and one of the ones I listed was this:
Finola : Do NOT cook all the food. In fact, do not cook any food without good reason. Cooked food disappears at the end of the day. Food is a limited resource, make sure you -need- to eat it before you touch it - otherwise, just leave it alone.
Our Stephen responded to that thread (still before all players were on, so no one was Mush yet) and answered -
Stephen : Hey, I'm Stephen the Chef. If you want some food cooked, better ask me, don't waste your own precious action for it.
Finola : Awesome, Stephen! Welcome aboard! You do know not to cook all the food, I trust 
.
Stephen : Yes, first time as Stephen, but I read your message already, thank you for that.
So a bit later our Jin Su, who had taken the third level skill that gives him extra AP for killing others - so is NOT a newbie, cause you don't get access to third level skills without having played before, and if you're newbie you are forced to take your character's first skill - anyway Jin Su has no other skills showing but that one, hasn't spoken at all in the game yet, and then he walks into alpha dorm with a blaster and first repeatedly kicks off Hua, then fires all three blaster charges at him. Jin Su doesn't complete the kill, but he hit Hua more than once so Hua was already forced off the bed. Jin Su then lies down in the bed that Hua had been lying in - all this without a word to anyone.
So I get a private chat going with everyone who had spoken that game at all (that's only 9 players!) and coordinate Jin Su's assassination. It actually takes 3 of us to kill him - but he's human. I believed he had to die because of his actions and because he is captain - he's acting crazy, not talking, and I'm not sure we can coordinate to move the ship without a functional captain.
Chao is second in line for captain, Chao's active, speaking, and gives every appearance of being a sane player.
Back to Stephen. So Terrence and I were both present for Jin Su's death, and we both got sick. Thus we are both human. A bit later, Terrence has left the dorm, reports a fire, and apparently gets stuck in it. I log in to see his reported fire (the timing's great, it's probably a real fire), realize there's someone in the room with the fire, and run to get a fire extinguisher and save him. That works. He's down 5 health, I can fix that, we both know we're human so we can do it in medibay which is empty too. So we start to relay-move him to medibay, and he mentions to me that he saw Hua cook some food. We were wondering about Hua's failure to report having gotten dirty, so I check the kitchen. Log says that Stephen has cooked 4 meals and eaten one. There's 3 cooked rations just lying there.
Earlier I'd noticed Stephen pick up but not drop the soap (he had dropped a white flag, but I'd not known what that meant), so I'd told him we needed that soap, drop it soon and don't leave the dorm with it on public chat. He answers that he used the soap to make the white flag, and that he made 3 cooked rations and left them in the refractory for anyone who wants one. (it's currently D2 - no one has asked him to cook any food - my posts about don't cook is the only thing that's been said on any public channel).
So he could have spiked food, he did destroy the soap, and he knows how to talk but he's not following instructions or asking us if we agree to plans or not (destroying the SOAP! and before anti mush soap can be made from it!).
So I coordinate a kill on him. We kill him, and he's human.
Am I being stupid? Would you have killed that Jin Su and that Stephen? We still have two living mush, it's D2, C8.
