I do notice alot of these points you point out.
When I am an antag doing silly things, I get ignored, heck I once got busted and still got ignored as an antagonist.
The one of Security NOT arresting an antagonist right away or executing them is that RP Security has to do BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.
Alot of antags can give antagonistic hints or show they are an antag but security won't act on them because.. we would be preventing Antags from doing anything.
I once had a round on RP where a MECHANIC used Packet tracking to learn that we two robotcists were Spy/thieves. Reported it to Security, Security arrested us, took our stuff while we did 0 actual crime yet cept owning contraband in our closet. That was not fun... till I decided to be an annoying antagonist shouting illegal evidence and wanting a lawyer. Let's say it's not really fun for an antagonist to get busted for "getting gear via their PDA that packet tracking can find"
But... just cause someone is a vampire, doesn't mean they are "Kill or arrest only" ..Only if they assault other players and we have proof of it.
If someone has contraband, we have to warn them to get it approved and leave em with a warning, cause anyone can have contraband technically (Barkeep and Chaplain start with guns for peeps sake). Someone wearing a syndicate suit? Could be from an A-zone, but we warn them NOT to do that.
It's so if the antagonist wants to do somehting crazy and fun... we don't shut them down just cause: "Obivious antagonist is Obivious"
If someone is a changeling? Did they kill? No? Well then leave em.
Though I do have a problem when IC best friends, lovers and such start defending someone's heavy crime and start saving them from security.
It means now I gotta arrest them too for assaulting an officer....
I also had alot of times that someone escalated a sitution with an antagonist, just on the basis they saw them having an antagonist abillity. And we ended up arresting them cause ASSAULT. To only repeat it over and over again. in the end that Antagonist did nothing wrong as it was a passive trouble maker trying to pull gags with it's antagonistic abillities, wich is fine!
So yea... people need to learn that you cannot beat up an antagonist just cause they are one on RP. Until you have to self defend or save someone is it fair game to beat em up. People also need to learn that... if the person you are saving is an antagonist and you are attacking security.. they will arrest you.. and may throw an A-help to self antaging.
Heck I once was an antagonist detective but I didn't do anything antagonistic cause others were being super antagonistic.. so I used my antagonist tools/abillities to shut them down or kill em. I even once killed a shitter as an antagonist as well.. cause he peeved me off as a charater too. (though I ahelp those now too)
