This isn’t how the conflict plays out. Either they screech that they are being killed and a Borg intervenes Skill issue, remove their headset before you execute them. or they law 2 a borg while being dragged to the brig. Skill issue, countermand their order. "Borg, I'm not harming them, I'm ar...

Silicon players do not play in good faith enough to earn the lenience of tipping and not death in my experience. They will hold grudges and doorshock kill you later. It’s fine if you want to rigidly follow laws and try to stop me from arresting someone, and it can be just as okay to kill them in re...

Greg is genuinely a good player, but he does tend to explode at people in discord. SS13 tilt is real.

Late question since I already voted, but are there any standout mrp rules you’d take a crack at if you win a second term?

Good context, keep the note, RIP to the viro RNG btw its a pain. Also 17 resist is hella high, what's the transmission on that if you get resist to 17?

additionally creation of a harmful virus by virology is in its self fine and part of the job... So here's the thing. If I'm sec and the AI alerts me that the viro is making AARDS or something, they're toast. I've been on the giving and receiving end of these types of raids and frankly, because of t...

Events don’t need to be the focus of a round to be great. One of my favorite admin events was on Sybil where an admin made it so that anyone who said the word “Bingus” would have the antique teleported to their hand. Simple, silly, awesome. I had a gunfight with a traitor that round where we were bo...

I don't really know how we can come to the conclusion that he spawned the colossus to grief the shuttle from logs he said mid-way through the fight.

Sybil is simultaneously an old person's home and the landing pad for most new NA players. You run into old legends that can't cut it anymore alongside the newest and baldest motherfuckers you've ever met. we will not have revisionist history Manuel is the tutorial server / retirement home when mech...

Some thoughts since manny seems to roll this map 2-4 times a day minimum: The foot traffic is super concentrated around the brig front entrance, kitchen/bar, and botany. All of the other places on the station feel incredibly empty, which is a weird feeling for a lowpop map honestly since birdshot is...

huge skill issue to anyone who loses in melee to unarmed people TBQH. High damage weapons are still king, the only difference now is that unarmed people actually have a fighting chance if they know the combos well. Personally I love it, it kicks ass

whatever happens please remember that players dont have access to logs in order to perfectly remember specific incidents that happen earlier in a round. I was banned for misremembering the reason for wearing something and It would suck if players were getting banned for not perfectly recalling situ...

Bwoink anxiety is very real. Let’s not add to it further by hovering a ban over people who might just not feel comfortable adding their 2 cents. It’s hard to remember stuff. "Bwoink anxiety" is one of the most confusing things to me. I don't understand why people freak out over it. Most o...

Be silly. Use logical fallacies whenever possible to defend your anti-felinid stances this is the key to success, not to use it as an opportunity to play a thiny veiled analogue to a real racist, but rather to have the power to turn it into entertaining and self-aware satire. which is a running the...

the issue is that when someone uses ling as a bone pass and doesnt use powers sec can't prove that they are a ling. So they can't really do anything about the person, and crew cant say fuck and validhunt them because they don't know 100% that they're a ling. Either let crew say fuck or revert the po...

i think it really just boils down to if 2/3 of the headmins want to change the aesthetic of human-centric command. It's going to be the new "rainbow assistant" config choice that just changes every term maybe im tripping but i think it would be cool if this gets revisited every term in a ...

Qm leads cargo which is probably the closest role to the outside world (even though in actuality youre only trading with/through nanotrasen) so it kind of makes sense for it to be allowed to be nonhuman for anyone working the shuttles or trading goods to see that nanotrasen "supports nonhuman ...

Seeing takes from admins saying that Jeff detracts from rounds he is in and that he doesn’t allow interesting things to happen really does not inspire confidence in the mrp team. Stuff like this is where the memes about mrp admins wanting the players to be job NPCs comes from. Good roleplay does not...

What a fucking shame. One of the biggest inspirations for sec players on manny, someone who consistently roleplays more as sec then anyone else on the server, and who has personally grown the community by teaching new people and getting people involved in the mannycord and tg cord. Being a no nonsen...

People keep citing "pop dies when this happens" but we have the stats tracked for this and it doesn't, it's just not worth using this as an argument because it is trivially disproved (Or more specifically: It doesn't for Birdshot or Tram, Northstar has a detectable dip that's more likely ...

I think we did a pretty good job at getting the argument out and stayed away from the usual pitfalls when talking about this stuff. I didn’t think it’d change when I made the thread and wasn’t expecting it to. But hey, they don’t shoot you for trying

britgrenadier1

Brother you just suggested a pr, got told no, and responded by saying that the no is an overreach (alongside some goodfaith pr arguing). I said that them saying they would close any PR related to it is why we're here arguing for it all to be enabled through the config. Not that it was or is an over...

britgrenadier1

i will close a pr that adds non human to any head of staff that isn't the qm. let the qm have this We’re here in policy discussion land. Saying that you’d close any PRs related to the topic is exactly why the nuclear option was proposed. I would really encourage you to revisit this position though....

britgrenadier1

fikou's motivations with that PR are extremely obvious in the description. he doesn't like that it's only QM, it's not that he likes non human heads. it's only ostensibly relevant. me and him disagree on this and have discussed it several times given all the discussion that has been had in this thr...

its good, lets you pick someone you've played with before and can therefore give the rest of sec/station more of a challenge.

The non human who sits in that post has to overcome a lot of stuff to be able to sit there Nevermind I have a thing to say with this point. If its a swap from a 0 to a 1 it doesn't feel like that at all in an OOC and even in an IC perspective. Its just now humans are the same as everybody else sudd...

britgrenadier1

Giga snip That's my bad then, and sorry for that. I would just say that I'd like to think that the current roster of command mains would be glad to see non humans join their ranks and that the role itself and prestige of it would be enriched if it happened. The non human who sits in that post has t...

You're reading that wrong too, yes. He is saying that losing the in-character status would, well, make him feel like he has lost social status. Because the character has in fact lost social status, fictionally. Again, it contains absolutely no judgement about anyone's game-playing ability, and fran...

britgrenadier1

Yes you are completely misreading that entire thing. He is saying that humans will lose the social status that they have as sole owner of prestigious roles, which is self-evidently true. This contains literally no judgment about whether human players are more capable whatsoever. I will simply feel ...

britgrenadier1

You don't think that his original post that literally says that human players would lose social status if this were to go through insinuates that they think the role would be made worse by non humans just existing in those roles? I remember joining on April fools (when non humans can be head) as a l...

Snip Snip Snip You'll have to excuse my aggressive tone, and I do apologize for the way I responded. That being said, the framing of your argument here could not be worse. What exactly is the implication? That head roles are so pure that you don't want them contaminated by non humans? That's... a r...

As an aside, "Go play somewhere else" is a yucky argument. I like it here, I like the mechanics, people, lore, codebase, servers, forum drama, all that jazz. I just think my home server can be better, and so I'm here trying to do what I think will improve it. Hopefully we can have a dialo...

Snip "Every one I talk to might be my boss next round, so therefore we shouldn't do this" is a wild take. I can't imagine how insecure you have to be about how well you're doing in a job for your takeaway from this thread to be that you don't want someone that is another species doing you...

Well lore as written seems to support non human heads being enabled, and as has been brought up I think there are good gameplay reasons to have it too. Primarily more heads of staff, more stories to be told (without closing the door on existing ones like promotion stories), and generally improving a...

britgrenadier1

I think you’re gonna need to read page 2 of the thread where we solidly put the whole “it’s in the lore” thing to bed. It isn’t written anywhere in current lore. Also this slippery slope stuff is nonsense. Half of the people in this thread who have said they are for non human heads have also said th...

Code Solution™, but it'd be nice if we had a middleground where humans had priority for head of staff. That would keep some of the "NT hates aliens" feeling while allowing non-humans to nevertheless fill in for missing important roles. I think that this is an interesting middleground. Lot...
