Hello Lebron and Senior Administrators,
Apologies for mentioning you directly, but I feel it's necessary to get your and the senior curators' honest opinions and answers regarding a serious matter. During the IC court trials, there was significant interference from the admins, which had a negative impact on the morale of everyone involved. While I understand that admin intervention is sometimes necessary, Admins typically have certain responsibilities to ensure that rules are followed and fairness is maintained in a server, However, if their involvement extends beyond oversight and starts influencing IC (in-character) decisions too heavily, it can indeed feel like an overreach. In this case, it crossed the line and disrupted the role-play experience.
In this hearing the link which is provided between timestamps 33:56 - 40:21, it's evident that ID number 55961, named Dead Pool suspected to be a secondary (twink) account of Yaswanth Trigger was present. During this time, Dead Pool made a request that went against the established rules, as clarified by the judges. This appearance indicates that Yaswanth Trigger, using a twink account, may have been attempting to intervene in an in-character (IC) situation, potentially breaking protocol. If I am wrong you can verify this yourself if needed.
Following the hearing, in which Yaswanth Trigger was present with his twink account, Dead Pool, a forum post about the hearing was created (attached below). Yaswanth Trigger, using his main account, quickly locked this forum, blocking responses from the members mentioned to control the narrative in his favor. This rapid forum lockdown, combined with his evident in-character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC) support for FIB, suggests clear involvement and bias, using both his main and twink accounts to influence the situation.
In the final hearing held on 23.10.2024, between timestamps 54:37 - 57:00 (link provided below), Yaswanth Trigger was present using his main account. His appearance further demonstrated his ongoing involvement, as he had been consistently assisting the same party for days. This repeated interference raises legitimate questions about fairness and potential bias, as his actions appear to favor one side in both IC and OOC contexts.
Additionally, Yaswanth Trigger exerted influence by repeatedly pressuring judges and others to reschedule the hearing times to accommodate his organization’s district attorneys, who were often only available late at night (after 22:00 city time). This constant interference disrupted the flow and enjoyment of roleplay, undermining a fair process and affecting the immersive experience. I strongly appeal for appropriate action to address this undue influence and ensure fair play for all involved.
We have been following the procedures laid out in the state legislature, which were approved by senior curators, yet the admins continually interfered with our court schedule, verdict, and how the process should be conducted. If the server has approved state legislation and procedures, it's fair to expect that role-play adheres to these laws without excessive admin interference.The fact that the legislation was approved by senior curators makes it even more important to respect the framework created for IC scenarios. It can be disheartening when such systems are ignored or overridden by OOC (out-of-character) actions. This led to frustration, to the point where I almost stepped away from the case entirely because we were not being allowed to role-play the situation as intended. In particular, I want to mention an admin, Yaswanth Trigger, who not only disrupted the process in OOC forums but also caused chaos ICly with his twink account Deadpool in the middle of a court session. If we are adhering to the IC procedures, there should be no reason for this kind of interference.
While I understand the need for admin oversight, especially with a case involving the FIB Director, it’s unacceptable for them to continually delay the hearing and force us to operate according to their preferences. According to the state legislature, the supreme court judges have the right to suspend the immunity of a high-ranking individual, and if the verdict allows, the person can be detained or arrested. However, the judges were told to hold back the court's verdict, which is another example of admin interference in our role-play.
I have a few questions about this situation:
1) Is it appropriate for FIB admins to take control of FIB forums and lock them without consulting senior curators, while also actively involving themselves in IC situations through their twink accounts?
This feels like an abuse of admin powers and a clear conflict of interest, especially since this is the second time Yaswanth Trigger has disrupted a trial in this manner.
2) If we're not allowed to role-play based on state laws that were approved by senior curators, then what's the point of having those laws?
Admin interference contradicts the very structure of the role-play we are meant to follow.
3) If admins intend to make decisions by overriding or preserving the verdict, then what's the purpose of having judges at all?
I could have conducted the hearing in front of the admins directly, rather than involving judges and lawyers who have spent considerable time studying the relevant legislation. This undermines the role and credibility of the IC judicial system. If judges have been given authority through the approved legislature, they should be able to execute their role without excessive OOC interruptions. If admins override IC judgments, it undermines the role-play and the effort put in by players who prepared for such scenarios.
4) If admins had not interfered, the trial could have been concluded by October 20th, but now it has been dragged out until October 23rd. Is it fair to those of us participating in the role-play to have our experience extended and disrupted in this way?
Lengthy delays due to OOC interference can kill the momentum of a role-play and reduce the enjoyment for those involved. If the issue could have been resolved within the IC structure, the experience would have been more immersive and rewarding.
I simply want honest answers and your perspective on these matters. If I’ve breached any rules or crossed any lines by addressing this directly to you and mentioning you here, I am willing to accept any consequences, even if it means a permanent ban. My main goal is to understand whether my concerns are valid and to get clarity on how such situations should be handled in the future. In the end, role-play thrives when everyone respects the boundaries between IC and OOC, and when admins and players work collaboratively to create an immersive and enjoyable environment.
Once again, I apologize for the disturbance and thank you for your time.
I couldn’t specify any particular type of punishment, as the system wasn’t allowing me to post the thread otherwise. Please disregard the section on punishment type.
