The echo bounces off the object and returns to the listeners ears. Since the gun was fired in a enclosed room, and the gun was an AR (one of the loudest types of guns), the sound would have bounced off the room and would have given me senses that there was a threat in the room for at least 4 seconds. That is extremely elaborate for a RP server and feels like a power game. Allowing such would cause more issues than it is worth. Regardless, FailRP is present and evident in the videos provided. -Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dude, 939 doesn't use echolocation. Additionally, that's not how echolocation works, nor how 939 would perceive and process the sounds waves it was receiving. If we were to use your logic of, "the sound would have bounced off the room", 939 would believe that the entire room was shooting at it, because to it the sound waves would be originating from the walls, because it wouldn't be able to track a sound wave off a material that it bounced from. Echolocation works because a bat is the originating source of the sound and knows its own location relative to the sounds it's receiving. I'm going to leave you two youtube videos to watch that discuss how bats use echolocation, specifically the fact that they use multiple, continuing sounds of various frequencies to track moving objects, as well as how sound behaves in a room for your educational enrichment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPYt10zrclQ - How Sound Works in Rooms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laeE4icRYp4 - Echolocation 1 4 Retired SCP-RP Head of Staff March 3rd, 2019 - December 16th, 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookieblue Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Denied The MTF individual in this case indeed opened fire, which allowed SCP 939 to determine where their original position was. However the individual then ceased firing and crouch walked away from their original location at such a distance that SCP 939 would not know they were present. Additionally, the SCP player in question did not walk to the original location of the shooter after losing control of their mouse, but instead specifically walked at the player in question, further bolstering the argument that the player engaged in FailRP. The argument of "echolocation" is not supported in the MOTD nor lore (nor by basic science), and as such does not excuse the player's actions. I find sufficient evidence to uphold this warning.
