We have plenty of unique content that is woefully under-powered and ineffective like modsuits and thermal pistols, and security still just uses laser-guns and stun batons. Why make them stronger? should have both! Thermal pistols were a step in making more unique variants of laser weaponry and ther...

Just FYI you can change your character name midgame via Open Character Preferences (might just be game now). It obviously wont change the character you're currently playing but it saves you from running into the scenario that you ended up copping a ban for because you can in fact do it then and ther...

Willing conversion is dumb and against the rules but I feel like there was a policy thread where a headmin (I think san or rave) said that they were alright with willing conversion if it had significant RP precedent. Like of you talked someone up enough you could convince them to take off their sun...

I disagree with that assumption, at worst a murder boner on lower pop will just shift the players to the other TG servers So do you assume the opposite that a murderbone on the normal pop will shift the players to a low pop server? If not, that just reinforces the point you're hollowing out that pa...

The game is meant to have conflict there are at least 2 entire departments that heavily rely on it, being security and medical. The allure of a greenshift giving you time to do a project is very much neutered by the people who are looking at every avenue possible to reroll the round. These rounds al...

That's a lot of words to imply that LRP players want to play MRP/HRP (where there are much more codified laws about killing without valid IC reasoning.). The rule is based on not killing the server population, it has nothing to do with X-level RP restrictions. Its not LRP to ask you to be cognizant...

how many people do you think should be able to be freekilled on a server where small changes in population can make or break people joining for a while? if there are say 25 people and 1-2 traitors, and they get their allocated 3 freekills in each, thats almost 1/4 of the entire server. Lets imagine ...

expiring (permanently removed 5ever) notes should not exist outside of some sort of technical aspect such as we cant retain notes or something. "You" just need to make sure notes are used appropriately. First off the player should have an equivalent view to how admins view notes if the ide...

if you have to look in href its literally over, the most awful experience.

There is no "do not note for this" option. There is a "do not log this on our most useful function for tracking warnings" option, but the only alternative if you are going to be realistic about the situation is that it just encourages admins to either make their homebrew note sys...

A true top knows when to use restraint. Only a bottom would be unwilling to lock it.

It would be much better if you stated flat out that the note has been rescinded and it should not be used for further action. Also don't put it under low severity, since it's basically no longer going to be considered a valid note, no severity is the only thing it goes under. Respectfully do not do...

Admins are less likely to search for a conversation that took place a week ago compared to a note placed a month ago. I think the reason why people consider negative notes punishments is because those notes affect any further punishment down the line. A 20 minute conversation with the admin sucks, ...

Heck the adminpm convo is the actual punishment vs. the note you receive, you cant play the game while having to talk to the admin. You can play the game just fine if you have 1 or 2 or 3 or 4... notes on you so long as you dont break the rules that apply just as much to those without notes as it d...

What do you mean by this? The Instigator. The defender should NOT have an OBLIGATION to take you to medical (different from saying they have permission to hide/destroy body, still would not be ok) if you were the problem. I don’t think this is what’s being called into question, of course escalating...

When you say generic medical umbrella v dedicated individual what do you mean. To me individual means "Chemist who cures it then drops a bunch of vaccines on the floor in the lobby". First off I say youre lookin v fine today. Second off I think thats perfectly fine. Medical (MDs+Chem+Para...

If you want an example of a not-punishment, that would be a verbal warning instead of a note. If your note wasn't intended to be a punishment and instead a """record of behaviour""" or """record of an incident that happened""", make it exp...

Because no one's settled on what virology should become well enough to convince others. Actually this, when I was the medical goto viro was an offset that felt like its own challenge because the actual gameplay loop is literally done offscreen via wiki/code reading and simply replicating those find...

I’m gonna interject here, ***No work is above criticism*** I don’t care if you put your life savings into a project, it gets no protection. This isn’t a personal pet project, every change made affects ***EVERYONE*** so in this case everyone has every right to say whatever they want about it. I’m gl...

[thing that makes future punishments harsher] is not a punishment The nerve to call datorangebottle's argument a meme and then proceed to say something like this... The only meme argument here is yours. It's a negative condition imposed upon you by an admin as the result of a perceived rule break. ...

the lasering will continue until ballistics r antiquated.

if we are REALLY going to have the notes are a punishment meme argument again... They aren’t a punishment in and of itself but they certainly affect the point at which you do receive punishments. You can still play every role in the game uninterrupted with a note unlike a ban/kick, so it’s either no...

If you go out of your way to make it known that you dislike a feature to the point youre trying to insert it into the game world such as through a nuke ops name, knowing the creator of said feature also plays, you should be doing it in a benign way or articulate it in a way that doesnt come off as y...

Does nobody else just keep abducting? it was like sub 30 players theres only so much u can abduct lol sybil/bagil/terry - bad ban manuel - good ban if its fine to be a magic wizard or fire breathing carp dragon that befriends the crew, it should be fine for aliens to befriend the crew as well keep ...

I'm not a big fan that this note started off with Vekter misunderstanding the current naming policy then post hoc rationalizing it. The fact is that Vekter noted him "mainly" because of something that wasn't even a rule. This should be lifted on these grounds alone. The only actual rule s...

cute feature

Viro is absolutely my least fav dept in Medical because all the fun of making a virus is lost when the least path of resistance is to "make" one in excel then recreate it every round moving forward. That said im a bit confused, are you upset with murderboning conceptually or do you just di...

It’s a stupid semantics argument in either case unless you are going to argue notes shouldn’t be given out unless you would believe they did something worthy of a punishment aka kick/ban in the first place, which ACTUALLY defeats the point of manual inputting of notes which is to track repeated beh...

Abductors are one of the few antags that, despite being antags, are not allowed to wordlessly go and kill people. The simple question to that is "Why?", which is because their kit is extremely strong and facing against them if they are just trying to wipe you is futile when they have a fre...

Severity is wild west the notes should stand on their own merit vs. "well its low severity so I can put whatever". If you kill someone by mistake your first prio should be getting them back even if it means you might miss out on catching a criminal or something. Doubly true in the scenario...

the most sane cobbyesque medical coder:

While that would be the ideal, we can’t expect all our community members to have that level of decorum as nice as it would be. Everyone here is extremely passionate about this ancient space game and emotions tend to run high. Players get assmad about changes, and then coders get assmad about player...

It's only if you were the person causing trouble to begin with. I think the bar could be much lower though, we have a dedicated job to pickup bodies so just saying on common "guy dead in X" should be fine. If they come back for more and die again they can just take the L. We dont enforce s...

lowpop braindead killing (murderbone dot dot dot) is already disallowed (whether anypony exercises that right idk) because it will kill the server pop. If its part of your objective though its just you playing the game. If there is an issue with an overabundance of murder objectives when the impact ...

there should be a namecheck tool to see if you legitimately rolled the name, so it will be easy to differentiate someone who made jack black vs an innocent "lucky" roll on the random name gen. I imagine the chances of rolling a celebrity name are pretty slim so I can understand if some ad...

Why is there a bus for lore it doesn’t make sense

How many times do we have to deal with this same flavor of this scenario before people start getting the point to not setup prebuilt no fun allowed setups to btfo peeps for 5 seconds when the alternative is not being allowed to play at all for days. End of Round is a sacred place for mischief making...

no one bothered to mention it was a stupid ban initially that only got retroactively justified because he was very clearly upset about the stupid ban. I think his melty was pretty silly but he didnt have much to lose when the expectation would be he wouldnt ever be able to play on their server anywa...

You’re right there’s just a better argument to be had than the description of the game on a very easily editable (lol) wiki.

Please don’t quote the wiki as scripture or I’m making it say you’re an idiot.

The entire law CAN be ignored though, that’s a valid interpretation of that rule? If you add multiple statements to a single law then you accept the risk associated with that (meaning an AI could legally choose to ignore it outright in a scenario where it conflicts). The real fix is to simply not pu...

You don’t have to roll the dice though you can let them test run their behavior on (not your server) if they want to play so badly. It’s not foolproof but it makes a lot more sense than to just let someone who hasn’t played for a year but was a real obnoxious mofo come back simply because they “matu...

giving people second chances solely because it's been X amount of time is a bit of a 2015-era take when there were only like 3 servers worth their salt. You can literally have your "second chance" playing tg by just joining a pretty-much tg server and getting a vouch. The idea admins shoul...

The player history piece does not make sense to me, if you want them banned you can ban them without building a note repository of situations that make no sense to note/ban for? The banote should be able to stand on it’s own or you should just say rule 0 now and skip the part where you’re going “wel...

Round removing people in the sense of like permanently deleting their body if you know they are not a head seems pretty icky especially in a world where we know the mechanics of rev and that once you “win” you continue on (so it helps in no way to permanently delete a non-head). I have no qualms wit...

The real question is why is there a rampup in the probability check? There is no reset time if we raise the weight portion, it literally gets worse and worse which is a bit strange for something that was suppose to just be this cute, niche mechanic. It is kinda sad that like, you can tuck the disk ...
