For instance, there was a round where a detective was arresting a clown for doorhacking. Dryad got in an altercation with the detective that got out of control. Dryad ended up cloning the detective, and so my main issue is how Dryad reacted in OOC and Discord afterwards. They talked a bunch about hating sec players who arrest people for hacking, and described those sec players as griefing. They were very insistent about sec players being in the wrong and very rude to boot. In this particular instance, the detective was a new player who was just trying to do their job.This was a one off, overwhelmingly shitty day for me. I had little to no sleep, my family just notified me they were kicking me out for being "unnatural". As for the discord discussion, we talked extensively on this subject and I was opened up to another side of things. But, for context, this was a few rounds after security was seen chopping people's legs off randomly and people were being swarmed with actual griefers and overzealous sec players who would just wordlessly murder or permabrig anyone who violated a minor space law. I jumped the gun on the detective, thinking they were specifically trying to be an ass and cloned them after I realized I made a huge mistake and I've been making effort to empathize with the new sec players ever since then.
I think it'd be good if I saw Dryad being more understanding of other players' playstyles and how they might view the game. This would mean being more empathetic to other players' experiences, and kinder when communicating. It's important to treat new players or players that don't seem to grasp the tone of the game with understanding, especially so if you're a mentor. Mentors should welcome people to the game and help them adjust to the server culture and atmosphere.
The incident mentioned is very recent and I'd like to see a longer track record of helpfulness uninterrupted by ones like above. So it's a no from me.
Long story short, I respect your -1, but I don't feel like I should be judged in eligibility solely on a single bad day
