Yea. Need some consequences here :) Suggests for real.
Well, Destruction of her mecha in that manner I wouldn't feel would be to egregious since her intent was to draw fire to allow for friendly forces to pick the enemy out. So, I would have to say the destruction was not willful. Of course, it was a bone headed move, and it could be argued that doing so without being ordered to would have potentially put her at undue risk. I would suggest Non Judicial Punishment.
Non-judicial punishment or "NJP" permits commanders to administratively discipline troops without a court-martial. Punishment can range from reprimand to reduction in rank, correctional custody (aboard ships only), loss of pay, extra duty, and/or restrictions. The receipt of non-judicial punishment does not constitute a criminal conviction, but is often placed in the service record of the individual.
Prior to imposition of NJP, the commander will notify the accused of the commander's intention to impose punishment, the nature of the misconduct alleged, supporting evidence and a statement of the accused's rights under the UCMJ. All service members, except those embarked or attached to a vessel currently away from its homeport, have a right to refuse NJP and request a court-martial. If the accused does not accept the NJP, the NJP hearing is terminated and the commander must make the decision of whether to process the service member for court-martial. If the accused accepts NJP, he or she, plus a representative if desired, will attend the hearing conducted by the commander. The accused may present evidence and witnesses to the commander. The commander must consider any information offered during the hearing, and must be personally convinced that the service member committed misconduct before imposing punishment.
Jeron, being a O-2 is limited to these options:
- By Commanding Officers of the grades O-1 to O-3
- Restriction / limited duty: not more than 15 days
- Admonition or reprimand
Anything 'worse' would have to be recommended from a higher command authority. (Higher even then Capt Utenaru (O-3)
- By Commanding Officers of the grades O-4 to O-6
- Restriction to limits: not more than 30 days
- Admonition or reprimand
You know having actually gone through something like this IRL (and I deserved it, but that's not a story I'm willing to share), the prospect of playing this out in RP is not something I'd be willing to do. Of course, Marcus pointed out the character shouldn't even be alive as there is virtually no way to eject from a crash like that safely (again, not advocating character death, just counting how lucky Komi is). So if you want to do this, you either do it without me, or do it off-screen with the after effects somehow being played out (humorously, or some other way that is actually FUN). Yes, I'm being a wet blanket here.
I've been thinking about it, and two things to say…
- 1: Really?
- 2: Really?!
- Final thoughts: Unless a player does something egregious, like lie, cheat, steal, murder, etc. I'd rather not have players 'punishing each other', it leaves a bad taste. Instead you should be pointing out the good. "Hey, nice shot." , "That was a really good idea." , "Thanks for killing that enemy sneaking up behind me, I never saw him." etc. In game-terms you have been in the same unit for well over half, coming up on one year. I'd think you would be looking out for and covering for one another by now. The old adage holds true. "Friends help friends move. real friends help friends move bodies."
