Warn/Ban Reason: FailRP, As much as a strategy as it sounds, brainwashing and making captures waste their time sitting on a point (while a factory was happening no less) because they rejected your enslavement, is not it.
Why should we remove warn/ban?
I consider the punishment given to me to be unjustified and excessive. I will try to briefly describe the situation and my actions.
At that time, there was a strong imbalance on the server: about 10 rebels against 20-22 combines. The enemy had built a fortified base and successfully held control points. This significantly complicated our attempts to conduct an active offensive and not be distracted by defense.
In this situation, I had an idea to use the capabilities of the military police. According to in-game logic, a prisoner can either be enslaved or brainwashed. Since the combine players refused to play the role of a slave, it was decided to use the second option. Captured fighters who refused slavery underwent the "brainwashing" procedure and were sent to guard active control points. This freed up our forces to storm the fortress and reduced the effectiveness of the enemy's defense.
This strategy was dictated solely by considerations of balance and logic of the situation, without the purpose of harming anyone's gaming experience. I believe that my actions fit within the framework of role-playing logic and served to develop the conflict on the server.
Bit weird how a brainwashed solider guarding a point is fail rp? The brainwashed unit still has free will and could’ve just ran straight into a deadly battle, so it’s a bit strange that he got warned about it.
+1 i agree with everyone here, this action falls within the bounds of RP, regardless of forcing people to do a thing, if the brainwashed person disobeys the orders and just dies senselessly, it's failrp for the brainwashed unit, not the MP unit himself.
By your own words/admission, within that instance, you have admitted that you were actively brain-washing people to get them to do nothing/have their time wasted. That is not only against the server rules, but also a very uncouth thing to do, coming from a long-time CO like you.
