Re: Naming policy draft public perusal thread

Quite a few questionable things here. Humans: Characters are required to have a first name and a last name, and may have up to one title, honorific or nickname. Names should meet a minimum standard of good faith - references to historical figures, juvenile nonsense (examples: Poop Boy, Dorkhead Mcge...

Re: Increase the number of roundstart borg slots.

Call me crazy but... Robos wont need to eat entire station's worth of iron at the start of the round I always liked resource scarcity. It creates conflict, and motivates people. Scarcity motivates robotics players to go AFK. Scarcity of materials typically means the miners died, and most people who...

Re: Increase the number of roundstart borg slots.

It's definitely a little disheartening when you can't roll either silicon, and the roboticists aren't interested or don't have the materials to borg you so you awkwardly sit there and wait, or waiting for posibrains hoping they know what the ghost sniffer does. Gonna have to agree with two, but not ...

Re: Blatant EORG Preparation

Players spending their round gathering items to kill the most amount of people at the end of the round do not contribute positively to rounds, in my experience. They sit there in their offices making WMDs without anyone interacting with them. (Read: Toxins and Atmos, Sometimes Robotics) Rule 2 shoul...

Re: Should head of staff have more admin protection?

Trying to get people to listen to you outside of being Captain or Head of Security is quite a miserable task, if heads are granted more protections/rights they need to be protected roles in the same way captain and HOS are. Heads of staff should be given full authority over their dept - just as the ...

Re: Rebuild of RP Restrictions 1.0: You Will (Not) Kill

Players aren't "too safe" on Manuel, I feel this is completely blown out of proportion by people not familiar with the server. There are a lot of antagonists as well as midrounds that ensure such will not be true. If people are complaining it's "too safe and nothing happens" the...

Spiders are easy to deal with. Grab a RCD and a space suit. Wall of the spider infested tunnels, then open a hole into space. You will be spider free within minutes. Spiders can make structures that block atmos. They inject far too much toxin on every click, two attacks is around 20 brute + 30-40 t...

Re: (MRP) Prevent head roles from rolling antagonists attempt 2

I disagree. Heads of Staff, even in MRP, are not supposed to be the perfect all-knowing heads you completely trust to lead the station. You are not supposed to suspect anyone unless you catch them doing suspicious stuff anyway, so why should heads be treated any differently? In fact, a head basical...

tgstation started as a medium roleplay server and was listed by the goons on spacestation13 for ages as medium roleplay until someone updated it out of spite.
