Staff Complaint

Space Station 14 username: Kappatalism

Discord username: Kappa

Date of incident: 07/08/2026

Staff involved: 17GnomesInATrenchcoat

Staff conduct broken: Not fully sure? I assume it would come under altering the game.

Where the incident occurred: In game

Brief description of what happened: (Images can be provided and screenshots have been sent to rogue). The admin removed my character’s right hand suddenly without explanation. When asked in ahelp responded only with “have fun with that” without any further explanation. Then spawned in as CCO and beat my character to near-crit, where I then bled out shortly after.

Detailed explanation of everything that occurred

Playing as NTR. I enjoy building NTR secret doomsday bunekrs, rooms with only secret doors, that I enjoy showing to people and admins and have not yet been warned about making. As shift began I built this room with two secret doors replacing the regular hall and bridge conference room doors and replacing the windows with reinforced walls. I later on built a reinforced secret door into Cap’s room without asking the captain as Cap had hid in the room during revs and I thought they would enjoy another access route, and myself another secret passage. I rennovated the room to hold the bridges vital tracker and camera monitor as I enjoy making NTR notes off of cams sometimes when I’m feeling lazy, and a sofa in the other side of the room. Unbeknown to me, a rev round occurred and once confirmed both me and cap hid in the room with coords off. Once revs finished cap thanked me and left while i remained on cams. BSO and Cap went SSD placing items in the BSO and Captain lockers. I continued to watch cams and observe the aftermath of an explosion in sec, which is when i think i noticed under the camera window my right hand slot suddenly disappear. I closed cams and found my right hand on me. I was confused and ahelped it saying “ugh my right hand was just removed” (1:57AM) to which 17GnomesInATrenchCoat’s only OOC message was “have fun with that” despite such a message irritating me, I tried to be the bigger person and began reattaching my hand using tider surgery and succeeded. Once finished a CCO appeared in my office and beat me until near crit with broken bones, where I quite quickly succumbed to bloodloss. No further contact or explanation was provided by the admin/cco, I am unsure if they were the same person. I have screenshots of the ahelp messages and my crit state but not the attacker, both have been sent to rogue. Reflecting on the event, my assumption was it was a punishment for hiding away from the station and not interacting, however I quite mad I wasn’t simply verbally prompted and these actions seemingly came out of the blue. I have never been in contact with this admin before to my knowledge.

Additional information

Final few lines if detailed explanation may be peanut posting, but I remain very confused as to why and HOW the punishment that occurred happened. No abuse token was redeemed and no admin has ever told me to not build secret NTR offices in the past. Contacting me or rogue can provide the screenshots mentioned.

Would you like this complaint to be public:

Public

Could you provide the images you mentioned? You said you sent them to Rouge but we cannot find them.

need me to DM them? sending them to you now

Sorry for the delay, I’m handling this.

2.5 Taking Action within a round: 17GnomesInATrenchcoat is in violation

The NTR (Kappatalism) sent two faxes to CC during their shift (the only two faxes sent by anyone to CC this shift):

  1. A fax from the AI containing “I’M NOT JUDGING I JUST / WHAT” which the NTR appended with “this u cc??” and forwarded to the CCO fax

  2. A “weh lizard” fax sent by a player to multiple machines (including the NTR’s office fax), which the NTR then forwarded to the CCO fax

17Gnomes checked the CCO fax 14 minutes later and perceived this as fax spam and took the following actions:

  1. Removed the NTR’s hand
  2. Approximately 3 minutes later, spawned in as CCO and beat the NTR to near-crit
  3. The NTR then bled out and sat in critical condition for two minutes before being stabilized by a security officer

17gnomes will be receiving a strike for this incident for a multitude of reasons

  1. A single weh lizard fax does not warrant IC punishment
  2. 17gnomes did not properly check logs to verify spam of the CCO fax machine or who it was by
  3. After giving a disproportionate punishment 17gnomes did not rejuvenate the player and assumed that players in the general proximity would handle it.
