To be fair I still feel like the old people pretty much loathe the newbies.
Honestly half the old people were shitters too.
Yeah, I still perfectly remember one of the things that pushed me to leave. I was a traitor as HoS, and ended up arresting my target for a (legitimate) crime, then talked things around to having him sentenced to hard labor on the mining asteroid. I basically went, "alright, that's that, I'll take care of things now" (because that was my fucking
job as the HoS and only security on board), with the intent of stunning him, stripping him, and leaving him to suffocate on the asteroid.
But the Captain, who was also (as we shall see) was a mod. More specifically, a kid who tended to abuse authority both in and out of character (I remember another time in which I was, as a Chemist, the
only medical staff--I didn't have access and almost nobody was online, maybe 3-4 people, so I figured "fuck it" and started breaking into the medical storeroom so we'd have medical supplies if we needed them; he was HoS or HoP or Cap or some shit, heard the noise, and decided to jail me for breaking into my own department for a legitimate reason on a sandbox round with almost nobody on).
Anyways. He decided that he wanted to take my job away and micromanage. I warned him repeatedly about as bluntly as I could, stuff like, "Okay, I can handle this, you can get back to the station now," but he wouldn't fucking give it up. So I stunned both him and my target in the mining station and started cutting them up with my beam sword. IIRC he managed to get a radio message out before he died.
So I hid both the corpses in the side station, took the Captain's gear, and played out the rest of the round disguised as him. He fucking temp-banned me for that. Yeah. Shit like that I don't miss at all. What I do miss was stuff like that excellent spontaneous RP/event that happened with me, Jacob/Lee and (I think) Hans in Xenobiology, where things escalated from him appearing as some sort of creature, a long stretch of RP with us as scientists trying to interact with him, a slow downward spiral of escalation, and finally Nar-Sie eating everything. Or that time where I was playing Xenobio and managed to accidentally nail a traitor at the emergency shuttle because he foolishly decided to open a biohazard-labeled locker that I was using to evacuate one of my valuable slimes.
