my big concerns are: this seems to make the events workshop redundant. if there are problems with the setup of that program, are they actually unable to be resolved? could the goal of this idea not be suited better to the tools already in place? what would this mean for the other servers? i feel li...

Note removed.

what i'm seeing here is that you did some due diligence towards getting permission, they hurt you, personally, directly, and so you got back at them w/ security gear and the help of the rest of medical - after that, without cuffs and then getting beaten down, they ultimately end up getting beheaded...

I'm going to be looking for, if it was a borg misbehaving (non-Asimov,) people investigating first if the borg is connected or not. Then, if the borg is connected, trying to get and fix the laws. Then checking the AI's laws directly. Then, say it's malf. If there's explicit malf tells before then, w...

I remember when I was at the code meeting and it was universally agreed upon that we need MORE antagonists to keep the game fresh and to make dynamic better. I don't think cutting half our antag roster is a good idea. Moth has said this and that also designing them well + making them distinct is a ...

IMO a huge thing to me, IE one of my personal biggest gripes, is trying to set up gimmicks and trying to be an engaging solo antagonist is nigh impossible because dynamic sees "oh the antags aren't doing much" and injects a ton of midrounds which really disrupt a solo antagonist's ability...

I'm afraid to say I tried something to this effect in a past life and, although I think it would have worked well, it was ultimately rejected on a narrow margin vote. From a time of running it like this behind the scenes, for the most part, these were some of my lessons. Relevant to admins: - Putti...

the very first greytide round when a bug made everyone assistants turned into an orgy of violence and a spontaneous rush on the brig for basically no inround reason except for the absence of anyone else the history of the role has included rushes on the spare being such a key part of roundstart that...

What's the threshold for Graveyard Shift access?

yep. wanna be a no-job ronin or take the day off? visit your head or the hop. otherwise, enjoy your extra access, gear, and the comms.

Many words ... And for any serious enough incident, poor admin conduct isn't going to factor in as procedure permits earlier bans with less investigation. Griefing evaders, for example, can be given no-bwoink no-knock bans. Non-griefing evaders may just be no-knock banned while they're offline when...

[valuable background abt the philosophy of appeal -> complaint] The hope is that no sane headmin term would uphold a ban or note placed while breaching admin conduct, no matter how correct or valid that note or ban actually was .

General Admin Conduct, Rules, and Expectations Admin Rules Headmins will often write directives that admins should follow. These are found here.

-snip- snab snoy :DDDD it does butt up against them because part of the impetus for the initial callout is knowing that if you hear flashing, there may be revs just as well as BB. you can rule out revs once the callout has been made - even by kicking in the heads of the two people suspected with a ...

-snip- I genuinely feel that 1 is worse than 2, not only do you run the risk of killing a nonantag, people are conditioned on LRP to ahelp at the end of the round (or even don't by that time) because roundstart RR is usually very clear antag action. (Telling people to ahelp after being killed doesn...

To be clear this is specifically on the case of flashing within 5 minutes of roundstart and at all levels of RP = instant kill And killing the flashed as well -snip- I'm referring to all levels, this is not MRP-specific, RPR doesn't do anything for LRP This isn't a matter of whether flashing can be...

this seems like an instance where RPR 4 and 6 would be useful to limit the harns we're concerned about: preemptive attack and overpunishment. even if you think somebody's been converted, it doesn't become a reason to kill them on its own on MRP. there are less-restrictive options which should be pur...

Incredibly thoughtful, enthusiastic, and cheerful admin watching their conduct with players. Quick to recruit others in getting the best answer, accounts themselves well both in tickets and internal discussions. Also, highly-literate sillycon, command, and sec player - their good game sense shines t...

Heavy lifter, cheerful, quick to learn and ask about things they don't know to do better by players. Has been a brief but hopefully continuing pleasure to admin with on Manny.

have at ye!

thanks for the thoughtful replies. i'll have another essay to deploy but in the interim i'd like to say that i have no desire to stop roundstart threat reports. i used to think that it might be nice to make the report lie more often, but i've since questioned this - i think it would lead to people ...

Mind me asking what the formula for raising it is though? My meagre understanding is that it's split between starting threat level (i.e star colour) vs time passed (i.e start/midround) vs casualties? I might be very wrong here. I don't think axing reports is a good move, but Captain should be able ...

tl;dring my shit: the price of anything happening in any round may be that some things people hope for happen in no rounds, or fewer rounds than they have a reasonable shot at [...] Threat Reports are also a really cool feature, I think. Maybe shifts like a Blue Star can leave it on Green Alert to ...

I should add I have nothing against Greenshifts, but IMHO nobody should know they're Greenshifts. Keep that scary factor up. (EDIT: Not sure how that would work with the star announcements?? [replace green star announcements with whatever one has the next lowest threat?]) that'll be my policy sugge...

[...] Relax and do what? Greenshifts in general aren't a good thing. We have antagonists for a reason greenshifts in general aren't a good thing but variance is. changing things up regularly reminds us that this game is a roleplaying sandbox and is at its best when people approach different situati...

Fun thought experiment - think of random stuff you do with your non-dominant hand. We play a lot of card games at work, and my friends pointed a very perculiar quirk I have. Despite being steadfastly right-hand dominant, I shuffle, deal and hold cards left-handed. I don't even know where I picked u...

you don't have to ignore who's in the community and what they're doing to recognize that the community or label doesn't belong to them until it actually does - until then, we should avoid analysis by labels if we don't want collateral damage

[truth] it's that we're meant to begin every round on a space station where everything is fine, and our headspace when interacting with this scenario shouldn't be like buying an awp at the start of a CT round in full expectation that we'll be running off to use it immediately, but rather that you'r...

my feeling on mrp (and who used to be a warden/sec main) i'll give what i'd consider "alternative" (not more lethal but perhaps more effective) items from the armoury after the threat level is escalated. i never gave out guns unless there was an active threat and we were co-ordinating to ...

They are a midround, not a roundstart or latejoin, and should not be shifted to displace those as the major unrestricted threats on MRP more than other antags (with defined win conditions, conversion for dead/ghosts, and built-in global threats like blob, nukies, dragon, and malf) already do. (all ...

I dislike the filter. "autist" might be recognizable and make people think "this person using this term like a dipshit sounds even more like a dipshit," but it doesn't need to point at ASD to have a similar effect imo - maybe something without content like "twizzler?" I...

Ninjas should not be unrestricted. They can become unrestricted in how the crew treats them due to their actions. Many of the things ninjas do are annoying and destructive - leading towards this.
