i've been getting absolutely slammed with school the past couple of weeks, then i check the forums and see my precious domain full of meta level non-peanutting peanut threads... my life is in shambles rn

my thoughts on heretic has always been that i like it for being a niche sort of antag that has its own style and progression tracks that don't really fit in with the MO of other antags. i like that they're restricted, heretics start off weak as shit and need to play defensively and carefully. they a...

alright fine, we'll dish out some questionable bans that make for good peanut content if you mfs please STOP MAKING POLICY THREADS

this was resolved 3 days ago

if war is declared and command declare red alert then refusing or ignoring their orders is already grounds for arrest/execution. these things are already quite sensibly set in stone but it requires people to step back from playing validball to see the logic in it. it's not some mathematical formula ...

just do your best and try to make it readable, i don't care about the format for the sake of the format

the point of the form is to save YOU time by making it easier for me to help you out

just my thoughts so far: it's an IC skill issue a lot of the time. there's sort of a sliding scale of orders. if the headrev wants you to lie low and then you immediately pick up the nearest circular saw and start wailing on dudes i would have an issue with this. but if the headrev wants to lead you...

to make way for tiger women (lukas's idea)

yeah we're removing humans

hello, i've had to sweep this thread of a number of posts that were either entirely contentless/low-effort or were just straight up shit slinging. if your post was removed and contained this you were likely given a warning. otherwise if your post was just removed, it was just swept because it was a ...

just so no one gets their hopes up it is extremely unlikely they will stay enabled in their current state. we have no control over if someone wants to take ownership of them and develop them into something unique that could work as a roundstart race. oranges mentioned that writing a design doc would...

I do care, and that's why why I put so much effort into the objectives, but its still an impossible thing to ahelp ahelp if you see it. if admins see others doing it, they will address it. people who don't get caught don't get caught. that's just how it goes sometimes, but if they make a habit of t...

If a player doesn't understand an objective, they can ask the hypnotizer or an admin, if a player doesn't want to be hypnotized, they ahelp it and give their character up to deadchat. yes, the ruling that you seem to not like clarified these things. A third of the victims refusing to follow the rul...

if people are intentionally outing themselves as hypnotized against their objectives then this is unchanged and against the rules. part of the clarification is that this can be ahelped. if people are doing it and nothing is being done about it it's because an admin didn't see it and no one told them...

hello,

anne has chosen to pass this onto headmins for review. we will be looking into this and will have a response that overturns or upholds the current ban. it may take a few days to a week or so. many thanks!

any name is valid as long as it contains a reference to slime, goo, gel, ooze, etc wrong they told me to change coomsplooge to something else smh alas you are now responsible for their removal https://tgstation13.download/dip/discordimageproxy.php/attachments/762733096998010963/1219025529332826132/...

we would like to protect reasonable player projects. it's fine and in the spirit of the game to build forts but if you do it too much it ruins the game balance and admins can and will tell you to stop. https://tgstation13.download/dip/discordimageproxy.php/attachments/762733096998010963/12190048352...

brainwashing/hypnosis objectives should support the antag in some way in their ultimate goal. objectives which exist to waste time or perform menial, unfun or repetitive tasks with no clear end goal or end state should be ahelped to get a second opinion on how their objectives should be completed. ...

What kinds of hypnosis commands are we talking about here? I'll typically do one involving some form of construction followed by a task relating to said construction, like build a pokemon center in departures and then heal pets or go to the chapel and decorate it to look like a ritual site and then...

xemo has been placed on his new warm gamemaster rock.

dendydoom has been promoted to headadmin.

snip sorry to say, but players aren't admins. admins aren't always admins, either. if someone was de-adminned and did this while participating as a player, then i would ban them if i saw it. admins unfortunately don't get to do whatever they want. a short while prior to the ruling you quoted, a com...

sorry but i personally don't really care for a vote unless it's 100% of the server. roleplay is king and a vote is not IC. i know that's me being a fussy killjoy but to me running a vote is not enough to do something that ends the round on its own. i would like to see more of the rp surrounding this...

this seems like a very standard textbook dayban for cremating the paramedic.

if anything this could've been longer.

aye, the idea behind this sort of enforcement is generally that two wrongs don't make a right. oftentimes a player grows resentful not only because they feel like they've been wronged by another player, but our system around delicately handling people's privacy with punishments means that unless it'...

some of my fears with policing this stuff back is that 1. we end up restricting it when it might be harmless or actually make the game more interesting for the people involved - you get a different setup to break into every round. While the story might be self-contained, I think the evolution of me...

my thoughts as i posted in bus have always been that i find the game is at its best and offers the best experiences when rounds are self contained. a bored warden coming into a windfall of resources and going "we've had a few prisoners so far, i'm going to reinforce the brig" is fine to me...

mario lookin ass

my experience so far is that we're self policing on this kind of stuff. there are admins who give out antag tokens. i'm not really interested in digging up the reasons why so far after the fact, it's not that huge of a deal. but trying my best so summarize my thoughts concisely: it's better that ant...

many thanks to everyone who has participated in this discussion. the point of it to begin with was to try and uncover how much the consensus varied across the playerbase and admin team. it seems to be that a lot of us are in agreement, and our headmin discussions have also supported our initial thou...

i would like to attempt to drill down a bit more and instead of pontificating about the nature of tokens or that the current policy is strict, let's try to address what we are specifically trying to achieve with this new interpretation. the first consideration is that the terms for an antag token cu...

i told striders that i would close every policy thread with an original monā comic panel that i wrote, so more opportunity to make a cat say funny things using a meme from 1999 has me hyped. i'm still working out the formatting cus the first one from the other events policy thread had to be uploaded...

there are 2 concerns i have off the bat: the first is favouritism. currently, when admins inject threat into a round or run an event with antagonists, they pull people randomly from the ghost pool or they engage with whoever has the job or whatever they're targeting in-game. we are encouraged in tra...

trust me when i say that bad feedback from an event is enough of a deterrent already. having an entire server of people pissed at you is quite intense and i've seen it dishearten some admins to the point that they want to quit. sorry if you have a bad round and feel like your precious time has been ...

hello, we have no desire to change overarching policy on events from a single or handful of bad experiences. it is sad when players don't have fun, but events are as much a part of the game as anything else. admins are encouraged to run events on both large and small scales to bring the world to lif...

hello, the topic of discussion in this thread is whether or not having the vote be later in the round will be more representative of players' choices under the current system because many people vote but then end up leaving the round and not coming back for the next one, or the vote is done so early...

that's the spirit!

if this thread gets 420 pages i will delete the forums

yes, it happens whenever i press the "join game" button.

aye aye, this is a great and much appreciated elaboration. for a moment lets expand this topic to cover all jobs and their responsibility to abide by RP rules 4 and 9. i suppose the question i am drilling down to is how much responsibility we place on non-security to recognize when there is enough s...

i would be open to tweaking the nature of map voting more so that it actually has more of a chance of accurately selecting maps for people who want to play them, rather than as a funny little toy that people can goof around with to actively harm rounds and players' experiences. but this is squarely ...

i personally struggle to see the value in asking admins to police voting habits - even if the bans are only for voting, it is an entirely new sect of enforcement that would need to be implemented. if the system is this easily abusable to the point that it is regularly being used against its very pur...

If I'm honest I don't think this really needs a policy change or even a policy ruling. The Cap's limitations clearly isn't causing the players any issues ICly in-game. The only issues it's causing are OOC within a very, very small minority of admins (it's kinda just Vekter and Bmon, and even Vekter...

one time i forgot to disable the option where not getting a job just gives you a random one and i ended up with curator. i decided to just roll with it and wanted to make the best library ever. so i started expanding it with the help of an assistant, we built tasteful wood floor, seating, shelves, d...

bmon might have decent points about the intricacies of validhunting on manuel - i know he's personally been tunnelled by people who really had no right to hunt him in the past when he's played as a heretic. i think there is valuable discussion in things like this. but in this situation too much has ...

howdy, this has sort of become a headmin-owned ban and we've been discussing it internally. second chances often come cheap in this community, but third chances are not. with respect to this, i feel that it's important to not set you up for failure and try to impress upon you how much of a headache ...

this thread made me realize how much the attitude towards golems has changed over the years. they were basically kill on sight for the longest time because their reputation was that 99.9% of the time they were doing something heinously shitty and deserved to be destroyed. i still don't trust them as...

we agreed 10 minutes after meeting in headminbus that shutting down the servers was the best move for the community

Okay bmon haters hear me out, I'm about to make a conjecture If there was a terrorist in the White House going around and attacking congress members, would you expect President Joe Biden himself to hunt him down? Not to mention that while it's possible that this captain was an 80 year old with deme...
