If things get weird in a session ...

Comrades, during the [Tue] 05 August 2014 (Go Pro, Go Weird) session, some odd things happened that I'd like to quickly address because they're not reflective of how things usually run at Folk ARPS. I'm posting this outside of the AAR thread because it's relevant to all comrades, regardless if whether or not you participated in that session. Both of the (linked) events happened during Kav SE, within Bravo squad (which I was SLing).
1. Player appears to ditch all equipment, uniform etc.
Towards the end of the mission, comrade lietuvis10 appeared to ditch all of his equipment and uniform. I have no idea why, or how that happened - or even if it was intentional. Attempts to ask over TS did not elicit a response. Perhaps it was a bug, a mistake or a joke gone wrong? I don't know, but - if you're reading this comrade lietuvis10 - I'd love to know. Since comrade lietuvis10 wasn't firing on friendlies or doing anything to spoil others' enjoyment, he gets the benefit of the doubt.
2. Player (non-host) executes another player
The comrade who took it upon himself to execute comrade lietuvis10 acted in haste, and beyond his responsibilities. Only the session host is permitted to remove a player from the server(s). The key consideration is always impact on other comrades' enjoyment. If the session host needs to spend a minute talking with a man in his underpants to understand what's going on, that's okay (so long as the man in his underpants isn't shooting other comrades).
TL/DR: If something appears to be going seriously wrong, please flag to the session host (or another host if closer) and leave them to deal with it. Our primary consideration is for all comrades to enjoy themselves, and - despite the reactionary propaganda you may have read - we don't like to use our Makarovs without reason.
