/tg/Station 13

So, a part of silicon policy in regard to asimov states that:

When given an order likely to cause you grief if completed, you can announce it as loudly and in whatever terms you like except for explicitly asking that it be overridden. You can say you don't like the order, that you don't want to follow it, etc., you can say that you sure would like it and it would be awfully convenient if someone ordered you not to do it, and you can ask if anyone would like to make you not do it. However, you cannot...

The title. There has been shifts where I and my fellow engineers slip into the supermatter (with magboots on!) because I was using the fire extinguisher on it 10 seconds earlier and the sm is back on fire. The ice under the door doesn't melt,(and I can't see it because there is a fire!) and as a result I slippy do dah into a delamming sm. Now I can see how removing the ability to slip on ice with magboots on can cause balance issues with void heretic. So as a solution I propose to make it so you slip but...

I've lost my passion for the game a while ago. Gimme some tips on how you have/would gotten yourself to enjoy the game again.

I am FUCKING SICK of these idiots talking about vEnOm AnTaG and whenever they are questioned about it they just say vEnOm LiKe SpIdEr MaN FUCK YOU YOU LITTLE SHIT!! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE NEW ANTAG IS.

As far as I know when there is an admin on a restart vote only succeeds when an admin is on if the admin takes action to let it pass.

This is the reverse of what it should be IMO, the vote should pass unless the admin actively veto's it. This prevents inactive/uncaring admins to block restart votes.

That is all.

These are the results from the Community Survey questions that I set up polls for in-game during the latter half of January 2023
The survey questions were on a standard 7 point scale, with 1 being lowest and 7 being highest. It ran for around two weeks.

How would you describe your overall satisfaction with the admin team? (Raw Results)

When you ahelp over rulebreaks, generally how satisfied are you with admin response? (Raw Results)
When you ahelp for help with game mechanics, generally how...

Your side of the story: There was a massive fight in the Alamo, I was attacked, and I used a submachine gun to defend myself. Some guy didn't like it, and he killed me. After that, I was resuscitated, and we had a shootout. He killed me again and threw me into the garbage chute. At this point, I decide not to lose and...

There's been a lot of talk lately about how Space Law doesn't mesh well with existing rules (especially on the MRP ruleset). Quite a few members of the community have expressed interest in changing or re-writing it.

The headmin team is interested in hearing suggestions for revisions or total re-writes of space law.

If you have a pitch, here's where to put it. Limit it to one post. Please make good use of formatting including generous usage of spoilers for the sake of overall thread length.
Discussion of...

Roleplaying isn't (or at least it shouldn't be) having a polite conversation with someone. What happened to paranoia? Are people not comfortable hating or disliking someone in character but not out of character?
People don't want to offend others, people don't want to make people dislike them OCC. Whenever one person is trying to kill another person they usually try to be funny to show that out of character they are not serious and don't dislike you. This sucks for immersion. The MRP rules certainly aren't...

As the title says. Currently revs have free pass to murderbone anything without the R floating above them, with a weak line of don't do anything that could inconvenience your team . I propose to change it into the current security post-rev. That means that revs would be free to kill: Heads of Staff, for obvious reasons, security, and anyone mindshielded. Everyone else would be allowed only if they directly threatened the revs.
The change would allow revolutions to involve more people than the current...

Let's say I fell deep into a coma in 2015 and woke up in the year of our lord 2023 with zero recollection of the intervening years on tg. What are the big changes to the maps played and how they're made? What's the new hotness? What cursed awful things do we need to contend with now?

Let me know. My head hurts.

Introduction

Some of you may remember that last term, the headmins threw out a potential space law rewrite into the forums, found Here .
This term, I plan on going through and adjusting our current version of space law.

Space Law is quite dated and I believe it needs a good bit of modernization to match the current game state and lore a bit better.
I took a peak at Paradise Station's space law page a few months back and was pretty impressed - The layout is nice, not hard to follow and goes into good...

So. This is admittedly anecdotal, but it's reaching the point where I wanna try and do something about it, and I'm pretty sure spawn rates are config.

Blob's is way too high. It's reaching the point where I'm starting to see one every second shift, including on Low Pop when the crew's like, 15 people. For a Round-ending antag, that's far too high. Especially for one that actively requires a large crew size to combat it.

Blobs are fine in small doses, but when you see them every second round, they grow...

Im a big fan of music and sometimes when im in the right mood merely the lyrics of a song satisfy something in me so ill post them here and u should too!!

Give me space birds so I can stop burning out every time I try to map a tradepost for them.

if a man cannot trust his fellow man with the freedom to bear his own mistakes under the watchful eye and cleansing scorn of his fellows, then he is neither a man or deserving of the freedom of expression

the system in which you have constructed is built on the philosophy of absolute order, enforced through the cold enactment of divine justice.

that same justice is neither divine nor justice, there is only divinity in letting your fellow man be policed by not himself, but you, not a higher power.

After way too long in drafting and with a significant amount of time staring at words until they make sense again, I finally have a draft for the proposed new naming policy that the admin and headmin teams don't hate enough to release publicly for the community to have a look at.

This draft isn't final, and is still open to changes, but is likely pretty close to what we're looking for in the final policy. If you've got any feedback, you can post it here or/and in the policybus thread I'll be putting up...

this is just an idea but its arguably better in every way than whatever HRP shit is going on with the other naming policy draft (perhaps stolen from bee's naming policy but reworked for TG and not be aids)

Human: Normal human names, the kind that won’t raise an eyebrow if you chose to name your child, although references or names that mention real people are more restricted (e.g. names like Carl Marks are not allowed). This applies to all other races that reference human names. Human names can include...

So due to the numerous complaints of players being toxic and salty because they were killed by a traitor in low pop rounds and admins being forced to break the rules to their own unfair advantage because they don't want to be killed on said low pop rounds, why not just get rid of antags all together on populations less than say 10-20 players?
This would ensure nobody gets hurt or removed from the rounds and it also ensures there's no conflict or excitement on the servers.

If people are getting noted,...
