I'm gonna commit the most heinous of necroposts, but only because this is unironically the first time I'm seeing this particular thread, and there's a lesson in it. For this interaction, I was incredibly unprofessional in my PMs, used a punishment that was disproportionate with the bait employed, an...

Thankye for the help, and no worries.

Excellent. Thank you.

Handled two tickets simultaneously, one of them having to do with an extremely log and truth muddled escalation situation, and did so professionally and quickly, while thoughtfully considering suggestions and information from a fellow admin. Already more suited to the work than most gameadmins are a...

TLDR:
If the primary complaint of this thread is my abuse of an incurable punishment, like "dir," then I admit wrongdoing.

There is an argument to be made as to the inappropriate extent of the punishments utilized. While many smites can be fixed in-game, the screen rotation is a client variable which cannot be cured through normal means. It is a punishment that persists through death, and while it can be played around, ...

In-round punishments are expected when sending admins media that are painful to read and listen to. In requesting songs to play, it becomes necessary for me to screen each submission. When sending messages, which I have to screen, and those submissions are generally irritating to read and listen to ...

Continues to be careful, efficient, and responsible when responding to ahelps, and monitoring behavior in general.

Gets to tickets quicker than anyone I have ever seen, with impressive enthusiasm and self awareness.

The ban is rescinded.

I think that in light of your explanation, the fact that you didn't do any of the digging, and the fact that you weren't privy to the status of the AI prior to your excursion, this ban is overblown, if not invalid. Using information gained as a ghost with regards to the position of ruins is a bannab...

The only actual bans for 'metagaming' I could find were for metacomms, or for very specific violations like unhooking the plasma supply at roundstart. Utilizing knowledge obtained while as a ghost, or prior to your becoming an entity, is metagaming, and is bannable. And it was given without the adm...

If nightmares are wordless roleplayless KOS antagonists, and are able to kill anyone with no roleplay, speaking, or reason, there NEEDS to be a way for players to know, "This antagonist does not need to follow manuel's antagonist rules. You are insta valid, and free to murderbone."

why do players on Manuel need to be told how to roleplay a fucking pitch black monster creature that is harmed by light in the first place?! Because manuel has rules that make it hard to murderbone, and hard to instantly murder antagonists because of valids. https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Roleplay_Ru...

To be clear I am totally fine with them being this way. I just want something that lets the player know that they can and should be killing people, and that nobody needs an excuse to kill them on sight.

If nightmares should take on the role of a kill or be killed antagonist, they should at least have one of the two following things: 1) Flavortext. This lets nightmares know something along the lines of, “You are an enemy of the light. Destroy it, and any who stand in your way.” 2) An objective. Blob...

I am of the opinion that Nightmare policy is in a very bad place on Manuel at the moment. This is for a number of reasons. Firstly, Nightmares have no objectives whatsoever. Normally, what an antagonist is and isn't allowed to do (in terms of massive grief and killing) EITHER requires some level of ...

Nothing but good conduct and responsiveness to and in ahelps.

A promotion is in order.

Handled a backlog of like 10 tickets in under 3 minutes at the end of a ling - traitor - blob round with no admins on (that weren't antagonists), on manuel, professionally and patiently, as I contemplated my navel.

Promote.

he answer my admin help very fast, very good admine

In all seriousness, a real professional.

It would not be hard to interpret the interaction between fusion and the SM not as a bug so much as an oversight. The supermatter crystal producing radiation that scales with the heat of its surrounding gasses is not unintended behavior, though when the values get as high as when fusion gets involve...

I will copypaste what I explained in the admin bus. Ghilkerium, a plasmaman atmos tech, was putting a canister of reacted fusion gas into the SM (reacted meaning very VERY hot, anywhere from 1e15 to 1e31 kelvin) when I PM'd him asking him what he hoped to achieve in doing so. He was a traitor, so I ...
