Server I was banned on: Sybil
Round ID: In picture

My side of the story: As a lizard player on Sybil, any encounter with a borg is almost always going to be bad. I would like to clarify that I was not breaking the bridge airlock for no reason, it was because the AI was not letting me and another person out. I did however stop once the other person pulled out...

Please post any positive or negative feedback for the administrator here.
This is not the place to discuss ban appeals, admin complaints, or ban requests.
This is for specific feedback for this administrator.

Striders13 has now been in the .txt as a Trial Admin for roughly two months.

Please use this thread as public review; it's encouraged for players to comment on how well/badly the trial admin has done and whether or not they think the trial admin should be made a full admin, if they should be removed from the .txt or if their promotion should be delayed.

Replaces the murderbone policy in current rules (it is no longer called murderboning or even mentions boning).

Notable differences:

Clarifies some issues presented based on feedback
Removes the word murderboning, murderboning-enabled antagonists are now just called BBG as per epic tabletop lingo (this is /tg/ right?)
Allows for normal antagonists to select a gimmick/backstory in addition to their objectives that allows them a lot more flexibility in their antag capabilities admin-wise.

I hate...

It is my strong opinion that 15 hours is not enough time for a new player to learn an entire department well enough to warrant being in charge of said department.

A longer wait time in my opinion also reduces the incentive for brand new players to specifically Speedrun a head of staff role exclusively for the perks being a head of staff offers (expanded access, better roundstart tools, meta protections, etc)and gives them more time to actually learn a job role.

For most people this won't even effect...

BYOND account: Grobelon
Character name: Rick Hick
Ban type: server
Ban length: 1 day
Ban reason: As a non-antagonist, stole the nuke disk and then fullstripped and bucklecuffed the captain when they went to arrest them. This is not fun for any other player, you are just making everyone else have a miserable time. As well, you have been asked before to stop with crass emotes, yet you've emoted similar things four other times this round.

Detailed summary: I was playing as the mime, Mute Point. Everything was going fine. As I passed an atmos tech by cargo, I decided to prank him with opening his canister of BZ.

its been in the game for a bit just to try it out, and i think its been here long enough. having to go ask the hop for maints access whenever theres a cult or something is just pointless tedium. it does not enhance or improve my enjoyment of the game.

Historical background recipe blog:

Back when it was first written, Silicon Culture was that you stayed on your laws like a fucking demon, and you made it all but impossible for anyone to actually change them. To counterbalance this, silicon policy received a few things to indicate when possessiveness of the upload was appropriate: Yes, you should let Captains and RDs use their access to upload funny laws. No, you don't have to open your upload for assistants. Yes, you are allowed to deny access to the...

Ethereal crystal revives inflict a permanent, unfixable brain trauma, which can be extremely painful to deal with. Certain players have been abusing the guaranteed ethereal revive to skip the bringing them to medbay part of escalation, or to justify increased lethality in combat.

Can we rule that you still need to drag ethereals to medbay and that murdering them on the spot just because they revive with the crystal isn't okay?

For the 40th time in the last six months, here is my most concise attempt to explain the problems with silicon today:

The Problem:

Silicons are obedient to silicon policy above their laws in any situation they don't get explicitly antagonistic laws. This means that if they are asimov/crewsimov/etc their laws are essentially irrelevant compared to the 'OOC Lawset' that silicon policy provides. The last four years of silicon policy changes have skewed towards making silicons more amenable to the crew to...
