Ino and Kagari were characters who completed and passed their assignment, but got severely punished since one joked about transferring and the other asked about how Green was doing iirc.

The others failed, but they were already punished.

the punishment for failed red team should have warned the rest of the team to fall in line. Dagger has never been nice. players need to take the game seriously, it isn't a SOL jamjar.

I've seen Natasha sass Dagger without any repressions. She's disrespected him and sat in his seat on the plane and pretty much disregarded his incredulity. I'm not going to say it's favouritism, but it's inconsistency that might need considering.

This isn't a SOL jamjar, but I didn't notice anything particularly out of line? Nothing worse than what I've seen some characters do before. Granted, this is after the team failed, but still.

Dagger plays favorites. Dagger liked Natasha.

I'm not sure sass is the issue. Doing the equivalent of telling Dagger, aka Red Team Pride Guy, that his team sucks and you want off it?

Unwise.

doesn't that make it more of a timing thing?

dagger at this point was pissed off over half his team failing so i don't think ino/kagari did themselves any favors by joking around with him at the time.

this happening right after the team failed could be the key. considering that they both passed and then started to make fools of themselves could have irritated Dagger. it's a bad time to show you're not taking red seriously when he's counting on those that passed.

Actually looking at this I kinda wish Dagger punished Natasha too? He plays favorites, okay, but it seems like favorites can get kicked off the list. They basically derail the subject after coming to an agreement that they're going to disagree. I would have understood more if he gave her a light punishment to show her that she can't keep getting away with disobeying him.

This doesn't make sense to me considering what Dagger has been like so far.

I really think you're overthinking this.

Doesn't make sense to me either. If he's supposed to be in a bad mood, why'd he let her off the hook so easily and start joking around about earth celebrities?

You. Are. Overthinking. This. Go sit down. Take a nap.

they were hiatused during the assignment and were still on the fail list. what more did you want?

So were others?

to break it down for you, she was punished. none of the people on that list received special treatment. this conversation shouldn't earn her a punishment, it's tame.

exactly. she goes to him cap in hand. she's polite and respectful and treats him like a superior.

dagger's whole thing from what i can see is that he feels like he's not being taken seriously.

exactly. he made that clear in his post. continuing to push him means Ino and Kagari got what they deserved.

Actually, Natasha was saved because of favoritism from Mother.

Looking at Kagari's thread, it went "can we help Green? / transfer if you want to / okay sure i'll do that". So they both either joked about transferring off Red or offered to transfer. Did people really not know the NPCs were dangerous?

Am I the only one who likes the unpredictability of all this? It's meant to be an alien military, not a coffee morning. I don't agree that mod plots which are part structure of the game should be checked in with the players.

I like that the NPCs are dangerous, it raises the stakes and makes their presence known. I don't think mods should ask for permission for every little thing, it takes the impact out of things.

Iirc characters are allowed to transfer so why did it warrant a punishment? That's where I'm confused.

it says right in the FAQ it's at the start of a new mission only.

I meant ICly. Requesting can be denied at the very least. I'm going to wait and see how this pans out though. If Dagger wanted the list to be killed, what's he going to do with them now that they're still alive?

give them a scare and tell them to shape up?
