/tg/Station 13

So for the longest time ive always thought that reviving a sentient animal, from mouse to space dragon, HAS to be friendly and follow the orders of the person who revived them, similar to xenobio sentience potion. however, after looking through code, rules, and headmin rulings, i cant find where thats actually stated.

Real quick way you can massively improve dynamic, headmins! Disable any antagonist that has progression mechanics from midrounds and latejoins. Dynamic rounds where all the latejoins and midrounds turn out to be progression antags end up being a wet fart. They work great when the round starts with them, let's see more of those static antagonists like lings, pirates, dragons, blobs, nukies, revs, wizards, and all the other things that are not impacted by when they join the round.

Super easy change....

Title. Nothing in the current list really covers them. We could probably lump them in with other ghost roles but if so we should make it clear that's the case.

I would say that, logically, they should be restricted to only attacking anyone who tries to interfere with their domain. Some random idiot in maint could be yelled at and threatened to leave, but they shouldn't be actively killing people unless they're either encroaching on the Rat's domain. If they're supposed to be king of maintenance, they...

This was introduced yesterday but a bunch of issues have already been pointed out so I want to propose a rework to the incoming headmin term.

Simply change it to You must make the noted/banned player aware that you are editing the wording or length of a note or ban placed on them.
(Or some other wording)

Firstly to be clear this doesn't mean admins can extend players bans, that doesn't happen and shouldn't happen, its covered by other rulings.

As for why this is good:
It removes the arbitrary time...

If you didn't like what forum my complaint is in why not move it directly instead of locking me out. The pithy replies for a COMPLAINT are pretty fucking lame, I don't care about the inconsequential ban.

So originally pirates were a bit mixed on account of skeletons being the odd one out with the cannons that can outright kill people which usually lead to them being super valid, but now we got the interdyne pirates with straight up fungal tb among the other new ones. When the interdyne pirates were added there was basically little thought given to them having the means to tb the station immediately on mrp, which is a little annoying because as a traitor (another restricted antag for comparison) you usually...

There seems to be some confusion in what is/isn't allowed so I'm bringing this question up to the new elects-

Our term was fine with saying things like El oh El instead of LOL. Is yours?

Before anyone starts calling for my head, let me specify that this suggestion is for changing the rule wording only . I don't want to change anything about what antags can or can't do on any LRP server - those freedoms should stay as they are now.

With that out of the way, rule 4 has needed a rewrite for a while. There's a big problem staring us right in the face as soon as we look at it:

4. Lone antagonists can do whatever they want.

That's not really true though, is it? It used to be save for a very...
