Before I go on this, please note that this is not a kneejerk reaction, it's actually been a few days since the round as if I'm peeved off about something I normally wait a few days to approach it from a more logical mindset.
Nor is this personal, I don't have any issue with how Roomba plays, it's just that in this particular scenario I felt it was poor judgement on his part. There is a time and a place for a bomb, this was not one.
Seen as we're talking about the round in question, let's bring up the facts:
1. There was hardly a robot rising, although if I hadn't been suicidebombed it may of gotten to that stage. There was 4 robots, 1 died early on, all 3 robots were killed in about 5-10 minutes after the bombing.
2. Medbay foyer was depressurized, but medbay proper was functional. The bomb literally eradicated the entirety of robotics, a 7x7 bomb And it killed NONE of my borgs.
3. I never killed anyone directly. I wasn't running around gunning down people, even though I was armed (2 derringers, an esword, energy rifle, plasma shard) to the teeth. You say that you had "no other option" but I was generally approachable the entire round.
4. Security (or read: that one sec officer) was pretty bad, but it's a damn massive leap to go from vigilante justice to suicidebombing. Also you were cooking those bombs for a while, so it's not like you just had a bomb lying around, it was pre-meditated.
It's just the whole nature of the suicidebomb that puts a sour taste in my mouth.
First of all, there's no friggin' in-hand sprite so I let you in thinking you just wanted to be converted, not realizing you were either constructing one or had one in your hand the whole time.
Secondly other than wearing EOD armor there's literally no hard counter to a bomb.
And lastly it's the act of the suicidebomb that's pretty reprehensible. It's literally "you're a traitor, i'm not, we both die, so really only you lose". Unless a player is hardcore turbo-nerding or a blob has taken over the station then there's literally no reason for using them ON the station.
