What's the general policy on ejecting sec from a department anyway? Is illegal to disposal one if they're not there to deal with a crime? it's fine, just stay within escalation and be prepared to take the IC consequences that might come from it - on MRP, there's RP rule 6 requiring it be proportion...

maybe replace "kill" here with "permanently remove?"

S a slight mischaracterization, git history can't meaningfully be altered and also I don't think was ever under contention no, yeah, that's fair to bring up, and I'm pretty sure other licenses apply to contributions made on git over stuff like erasure - just to keep in mind that we're dealing with ...

What is GDPR https://gdpr-info.eu/ Essentially a regime that allows you to go back and request deletion/anonymization of personal accounts/data. https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/right-to-be-forgotten/ You can imagine how this might come to be a headache when exercised about a 2D space game run by volunt...

The idea of an AI punishing for human harm fit in with the theme of rewriting silicon policy. That the AI is a dangerous tool of the corporation that is hard to control and unpredictable. Its utmost priority is the prevention of harm and it can punish anyone or anything that causes harm to humans, ...

Straightforward, composed, and incredibly thoughtful in everything they do with the game - an even advocate to players who uses neutral, fair communication that doesn't lack for a sense of care.

an exceptionally patient, focused, and level-headed person to learn from about the game and helping run it. shows through always reasonable but lighthearted responses to issues that never seem to lose sight of what's keeping people having fun here (which probably helps explain part of how he's been ...

incredibly chill, level-headed, and willing/available with advice - been a model to learn from and a pleasure to see with his events and little interventions

An Asimov silicon cannot punish past harm if ordered not to, only prevent future harm. should instead read Asimov silicons cannot reject Law 2 orders made by humans who have previously caused human harm except where following the Law 2 order would directly facilitate human harm. This fits in much m...

we were a week and one absent Melbert pr away from having a Valentine's blob policy thread, and we're the lesser for it.

If not in code, it makes perfect sense for me in-game that blobbing comes first.

separate from "interfering in arrests for close to 0 reason" being a national passtime, it is more interesting with the current setup. If your metaprotections rely on following the procedures, approaching a person in a group and announcing your intent to arrest them gives everyone a dramat...

in 2564 it is a crime to merely be a virologist

the fish doctor shadow government has gained control

this is good actually

since arcmining, I have heard and been suggesting halving point totals when people are considering gulag sentences. It takes a bit longer than it used to now.

forcing people to be true doom murderheads and die on their feet is as cringe as forcing them to be woobies that run, hide, or give up at their first encounter with a threat

good to strike the note from the record, bad to apply either of those approaches to any of the servers

Players rightly object to no-win and forced scenarios. A deathsquad (or any ERT to a lesser degree) is functionally the world saying "time to die" and tipping the scales against what players in the world have affected. Part of the disjunct is that the deathsquad doesn't appear in any of th...

Samson deals with friends much differently as sec Should this be actionable? Should sec be forced to be fair to metafrens and give them actual sentences? I try to be, at least. 2. Similar to how characters are allowed to know everything about in-game mechanics or antagonists under rule 2, character...

Meta-conmentary: Having some sort of area for ghosts to spawn and vibe, perhaps with vendors and supplies to custom design their spot, is something Skyrat and other downstreams have done. It allows people to run segregated lore/character events where they can still be seen and where people can gener...

just testing to see if this went through

Why tf would you put a doorknob in a corner

Or, "what sort of stuff would you like to see develop with the game itself, and how would you direct policy to accommodate it?" Some events and antagonists prompt us with new challenges to react to at the time - recent examples being the un/rerestriction of changeling, the current live con...

... The reality is that depending on what kind of changes you want to see, being an admin can be a negative. A generally hands-off and anti-admin-intervention platform is almost impossible to push as an admin. Your views tend to be in such a minority they're simply ignored and it's difficult to ref...

I'm not sure that I can get to shaps's conclusion just off of ban #s, and Timber's account suggests kieth was active, productive, and communicative - as a headmin, with headmins. policy discussions and ban appeals take place on the forums and discord. given how much of how the game feels and how the...

calling the police in against somebody is an act of violence and one that can (and more often in the US at least often does) have deadly consequences it seems like their case is that "but nobody would take this dumb space game that seriously," but they do, and have. the consequences can be...

My favorite defense on the use of that slur in anger was when somebody once told me "you have no idea how many dicks I've sucked"

I did not

Otherwise looks like a pretty sympathetic appeal if they otherwise had no history. Hope they're in a better spot in a month.

I’ve been seeing people calling the current power system uninteresting and boring, which is fair enough not much detail in yellow wires. But what are the current major issues and annoyances with current power systems? annoyances none really issues none really either it's serviceable with relatively...

i like the new format, I know a bit of what I'm about to read before even getting to the narrative

The laws are supposed to be binding in-universe. Love, except for four days a year, is unfortunately not. If they're going to get a pass to play around and even outside the standard laws, they should get a law 0 saying "Love is the Law, Love under Will" for the duration of the event. Other...

this is the best essay on turbotax ive ever read

Skyrat had a thing on the discord where players could propose events and admins would sometimes pick them up- a discord forum thing could work for letting people provide ideas maybe. a discord channel or Ideas threads for events on the forums would work well for this, but it's worth keeping in mind...

We should do a weighted random headmins vote, let God decide I want you to run on this platform Also I'd like more elaboration on Timber's ideas about what changes to make to support the kinds of play he's identified between LRP and MRP besides the rule condensing and keeping the lights on (both ve...

lolswat is lolwrong, the random items, having to choose which items to go for, and using those items to improvise whatever plot you're cooking is fun

preach

the broader range of target items (and an actual use for the black market to try to get them back) rocks too

less brain more skull mean more move room

I have an abiding fondness for quad-amputee Jim Football when I see him come out - so obviously somebody playing their own game and having fun with it, you love to see it folks, happy Superbowl handegg weekend

I'm not going to change this note, but you're welcome to request a review. It'll otherwise expire in four months. this is what you said after getting bonked the first time: [2024-02-10 02:17:15.158] GAME-SAY: EmpressMaia/(Shinrarta 'Doc' Dezhra) (mob_3502) "i play with 100 ping and dont optimiz...

most of the petkilling and theft objectives are dumb if you think about "why does the syndicate even want this" for more than a second

but they're functional as RP prompts and an excuse for people to stick their necks out and fuck around in areas they wouldn't otherwise

It's actually incredibly easy to RP yourself into a situation where being disruptive is sensible instead of setting out to ruin people's days unprompted my advice for it would be creating "a reason" is easy - the part so many people fail at is stopping when it stops being a good time for ...

the last thing i want is to turn a 6 minute sentence into a half an hour ordeal that distracts everyone long enough for every antag in the galaxy to greentext in the background. sometimes that distraction is a lot more interesting than the procedural copypaste antag play that people will get up to ...

Just got out of my Campbell goon cave what's going on in this thread

6'2" is still pretty tall man idk

Now, before I get into it, I would like to say I'm gonna make some adjustments that I think will probably help the situation. Mostly for the sake of parity. can we get a bit of a scoop as to what you're thinking here? giving non-unarmed attacks a stamina damage coefficient? making knockdowns with r...

or some sort of timer with a notice on AI law changes, but yeah, the way upload control is currently set up sucks dick

Why do people enjoy dystopian fiction? Why do people play 4X games and become dictators? serious answer, but there's a difference between "fiction within dystopia/crapsack world" vs. "fiction in which you are the executor/beneficiary of the dystopia/crapsack world" in the case o...

It can be great if it's self-aware, but there are hard edges to it where the privilege it offers is not to do something symbolic and recognized as a goof by both sides, but to get a hard mechanical leg over other players and be a dick. even thoughtful satire with a clarity of purpose has trouble in...

lot of mixed and not entirely connected thoughts about this after a while 1. if code-server separation is an actual principle here, any discussion of developer intent does not matter. it'd be nice for there to be harmony, but if there's a better case for running the game in a way contrary to design ...

if they were stealthtags i wouldn't have stories

ONE FLOORPILL IS NEVER ENOUGH

ban type: Evil Ban is some jutsu I've never heard of, what did Thunder do to unlock that one

pretty much nails it dead on the head More generally, I'd say that not calling a heretic a heretic doesn't make them stop being a heretic if that's what they are. I think a lot of the underlying frustration is that if you're trying to be anything more or less than just Harry Tick, the first thing t...
