Today I decided to spectate a goonstation round, and ended up spending the entirety of it spectating you. It was a bit of a chaotic round, and difficult for security, but a significant portion of that struggle was due to your actions. You spent the majority of the shift ignoring the radio entirely (as well as people talking to you in person more often than not), choosing instead to pick and choose specific lines once every fifteen minutes or so to take out of context, misread, and reply to authoritatively in a way that left the rest of the sec team and AI spending more time trying to figure out what you were doing than they did actually dealing with the antags. You were believed to have been mindhacked or otherwise antagging due to how much trouble you caused. Some examples:
- You fired on a random crew member named Mindy in a pod because in your words, you saw the words "fire" and "mindy" in the sec radio and thought that was an order to take them down (it was an order to not fire at mindy.)
- Another member of sec said that they'd found a missing PDA you'd been looking for and left it on botany's couch. You misread that as them having found the power sink and left it in botany, and PDA messaged engineering that the power sink had been secured and to stop looking. You then proceeded to spend the next 5-10 minutes or so ignoring the radio messages of the entire sec team and AI begging you by name to explain where you'd found the power sink, and only eventually replied to a single message taken entirely out of context which you decided was about you shooting Mindy and not about the power sink.
- You ran into a fellow secoff arresting someone that had been clearly communicated many, many times over the sec comms to have been emagging borgs, grabbed the victim from them and ran off with them to interrogate them yourself without asking and despite the secoff already handling it. You didn't search them, because you hadn't been reading sec comms or paying attention to what the secoff whose arrest you stole was trying to say to you. When questioned on that after letting them go, you pulled them in for a second time to search them, and the same secoff was standing next to you begging you to do it in another room besides the main room of security due to the fact that there was no power and they were trying to fix it. You ignored that, too.
I realized that you had this app open, and felt it'd be unfair not to leave a comment. I just don't feel like you currently have the ability to process and respond to things that happen both in chat and around you in floating text. You never responded to calls for sec, you would randomly interrupt sec radio to give sweeping orders that directly contradicted what was going on, and actively sabotaged your team's ability to coordinate multiple times over within the span of a single 60 minute shift. Keeping track of what's going on in the chat and around you is difficult, but sometimes it's better to take a moment and reread what people are saying to you -- especially in moments of relative calm, which is when these misunderstandings primarily took place.
