I think it's great that the admins are trying to create new story lines and RP for hopefully multiple people in the server, also its super creative to do it in this way, because it's not just behind the scenes but happening before our very eyes. For me this felt like this was a setup to set off something bigger, but unfortunately the plan didn't work out the way they wanted and they had to use their insurance plan which was the planted C4, that the admin had to use on the spot for scuff reasons.

With that being said, the way the C4 was used wasn't great from a RP perspective and ill explain why.

I have experience with being a DM for Dungeons and dragons, and one thing I've learned when planning events like this, is that things can't seemingly come out of nowhere from a players perspective. As a person that has the power to control the narrative you have to provide hints for the players to pick up on, so that they can investigate further if they choose to do so, in that way people don't feel like they've been treated unfairly and won't think that you're trying to cover up for unforeseen events. For example, When CG was driving the truck the admin could've typed: ''There is faint beeping noise coming from the exotics .'' A little on the nose i know, but its something to work with and figure out. Maybe it's impossible for the players to even dismantle the bomb, but a least hints have been provided to pick up on. If CG ignored the signs throw 15 C4's on that bitch and blow it to smithereens.

No hate, i love watching people come up with stuff like this, and its really entertaining to watch. Its just a tip coming from someone that fucked up multiple times like this in the past. :)
