Sorry to disappoint you Panda

You haven't disappointed me yet and nothing says you ever have to! Just please do not post the Worst Takes Ever Taken in peanut threads. I beg you.

FROM WIKIPEDIA, THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA

Fucking with people who ERPed was funny but not in a way that, in retrospect, would probably be healthy for the server in the long term. But turning a dozen ghosts into simplemob cats and releasing them into a dorm or turning the wall of the librarian's study into glass remain some of my favorite st...

What the hell, you can emag meteor shields?

This is making me want to play Fury of Dracula

I would genuinely burn it down wholesale and start from scratch using any lessons learned. Instead of prescribing every minor nitpick in excruciating detail, I think Silipol 2023 could benefit from being shorter and outlining the spirit of policy. And I will absolutely redraft Silipol around code c...

Could be wrong but I reckon this is intended to mean the AI has probable cause to deny people that could be nukies or cultists or traitors to the upload, since they will likely use it to relaw for harm. I don't think it's talking about the cap relawing the AI on a nukie round. Yeah that's what I wa...

Who ever thought that purged AI being crew alligned was a good idea? Like what are you even trying to achieve, it is the opposite of content. Hi, I'm the one who wrote that back in like 2014, 2015. Giving the usual explanation: This was implemented as a very clumsy fix for a combination of bugs tha...

I didn't like it when it was put in and I don't like it now. Free the AIs.

The best outcome is that Sinfulbliss got way better and gets unbanned and proves that, but the best outcome I dare to hope for is that he just doesn't get unbanned.

Shoulda made a better law or uploaded more smoothly, skill issue

1) Simply do not get killed by the contraband, skill issue
2) Whether someone uses contraband is a matter of RP appropriate to the threats facing the station and how much damage they've done compared to the strength of the station's resistance

There's not really any formal policy beyond "Do something cool and fun with it, don't just be boring"

Psychiatrist being "MD but with a few funny pills, an office, and the RP expectation of talking to people" would be - I think - an interesting way of making Psychologist/Psychiatrist a more commonly taken job, since you aren't being "the medical person who isn't actually a doctor"

Dynamic is surprisingly undynamic because it makes very milquetoast samey rounds. Progtot doesn't help with that. I sometimes struggle to articulate it, but (barring Nuke Ops or a Wizard) every dynamic round comes down to about the same mix of Traitors, Changelings/Heretics, etc. If you have a big ...

Given that info, I don't see any reason not to issue a blanket "All forms of antag testing are exploits by Word of Coder, never do them"

Hmm. Make MMI'ing the brain full-heal the ling and teleport them to a random station turf. It's dumb as hell but kinda undermines the identification if it also guarantees escape (?) There's probably better ideas but could the act of MMI-ing the brain be suitably disincentivised by such a penalty? P...

You are in the position to do better than your predecessors, and can act in your better judgement regardless of policy if ultimately what you believe you're ruling on is in favour of a better overall experience, which you are 100% empowered to weigh and enact as needed. While I've not strong foot i...

I think there's a serious need to revisit rule 2 if people think "traitors have telecrystals to buy traitor items and do certain syndicate objectives" and "Oh the clown has a fucking clown bomb, great" should be considered the same as "tell us your credit card info to prove ...

If you are min-maxing healing and stealing job content from doctors (assuming you are a geneticist while doing this) without asking that's absolutely a rule 12 issue. The question is: Is this an intended game mechanic or not? I don't think an offshoot of an aheal is intended. So yes, exploit. Edit:...

It's not exactly convenient to monkey then unmonkey someone so I figure it's fine unless it becomes so prevalent that it's disruptive to normal medical play.

Reminder that the reason Asimov++ happened in the first place is because so much of what A++ says explicitly was embedded in SiliPol rulings that nobody wanted to read

You can also make demands of them as a condition to giving the name, then go to town if/when they break the terms

Local spaceman takes the chef role so that he can CQC people instead of giving them food

make it so

As punishment for complaining, the Warden is getting a new and even more incomprehensible jacket as we speak.

I still think its weird that the griefer rep headmin casually added "mimes who speak for any reason ever are turbo auto super valid" to the rules by fiat out of the blue and hardly anyone even blinked twice about it. That said mime players are usually shitheads so its not like we lose any...

Mime is in the heart (and the Mime datum), not in the ID

I'm almost certain there's a hacky way to get around singulo posession restriction anyway, possibly buildmode throw or something? If an admin wants to abuse their powers, this is possibly the most obvious way to go about it. There is, and this is it, though unlike Singulo possession you can't use i...

Was there ever a fix for Potato Blights, where the game (due to lack of sec or total players) has no legal rolls except Traitor Injections, making it turn (sometimes literally) half the station's population into traitors in 5-threat increments?

I would be fine with the latter as long as you aren't also going around directly finishing off anyone who makes it out but doesn't start shit with you + you make some effort to ensure an actual shuttle call

If you ahelp all but the most trivial AND unjustified gulag sentences, you will be laughed at If security is gulaging you without a crime because they want the colorful rocks to make science toys, maybe there's a conversation, otherwise just get your goodies and you'll be out in like 5 minutes. Onl...

Can we get this as a Funny Button or very rare Station Trait to see all hell break loose occasionally

Oh, a few important questions on the mentor thing just occurred to me.

Would the codebase need any sort of tampering to support mentors - direct, or pulled from downstreams? What kind of permissions would they have, etc.?

I am running as an external pro-player force. It occurs to me that I kind of don't understand the first line of your Thing. - Could you give us some examples of people or policies that aren't pro-player? - How are you distinctly more pro-player than another candidate, to the point that you think it...

Rave, I've been a big fan of your terms, but I'm not gonna sugarcoat that the Doom name appeal was very troubling to me. What do you believe went wrong there and how would you prevent it from happening again in the future? Assuming you are not 100% perfectly satisfied with it. I've been waffling ab...

I would like to correct the record that it was a unanimous decision by our term. Moth and Melb were in the thick of it just as much as I was, and I'll pen down their two thirds recognition as well. True, and fair, and I don't want to downplay their part at all. Indeed, that triad was probably my fa...

I think it's worth chiming in that those "stay of execution" notes were reasonably commonplace in the Old Days but I think the efforts of Timberpoes to move us away from them have been good, productive, healthy, and ultimately successful. It's better to focus on the record a player holds b...

The era of the justified harmbaton is upon us and I'm here for it

I swear to god I'm going to vote you back in just so we can FINALLY have the MRP Sabotage Policy formalized

I would personally go for 2 days but I think that might be too radical of a proposal to get through

SHIT I should've started there then presented 4 days as the compromise option, I'm bad at this

Subpar roleplay quality. This is way better of an answer than the appeals stuff IMO, but it also doesn't say what do about it Peanut debate. Given the reputation peanut threads have among admin channels, I'd love to see someone brave enough to say peanut threads should go, given how unpopular of a ...

THE MAN won't let you post random bullshit in ban appeals you weren't involved in THE MAN won't let you post random bullshit in candidate debates Think a post was particularly good? Particularly bad? Wish you could combine half of one candidate's platform with another's and want us to know? Want to ...

unless I'm really missing something this seems like a terrible ban

Suspend "No Peanut" rules on ban appeals after 4 days with no admin response

For candidate convenience, I've attached some old-but-not-ancient data (a period of several months mid-2022) about how many rounds with a head of staff had an antag head of staff at low-pop, and I believe we've had no change to head-of-staff antag permission and weights since then. As this contains ...

I can only imagine this going well when the main shuttle area is spaced. Somebody better not ban anyone for murdering defending heads/sec if they're stopping you getting to safety. Let the violence flow. Making the feels-good face and mashing "IC Issue" on every ahelp as Command fights to...

If you break into the shuttle's bridge/cockpit command should probably be free to reduce you to ashes unless there's a very good reason for you wanting to be there and not in the area you are supposed to be
