I ahelp it and move on, and I think personally that's the way to go, always going to be the way to go, and that its really just that simple.
1. I may have missed what they were doing, which might have been prolific and evil, but I simply somehow missed the boat. This can even be true when you're in a good position to know like security or AI.
2.If they haven't, and if someone is waiting until the last moment on RP to do something: That's poor escalation, and if it keeps happening something the admins probably need to talk to them about, because with greatest respect to them: It's terrible pacing.
3. That said, sometimes people flub it, and also what stands as good antagonism is not definitive (though I'd argue the closest you can get is people talk about it months after the round happens positively) so yeah, maybe there's scenarios where a slow buildup before shuttle confrontation actually works out well. I'd say I've seen a few. I've also seen silent antags who spent 85 minutes building up silently before doing their business on the shuttle: I ahelp that and move on.
Ahelp it and move on. To me, the issue is nothing to do with the shuttle, which IS chaos and does drive me nuts, but either the player's poor escalation or my poor luck in noticing it until then.
