/tg/Station 13

Since we have two differing opinions on the same event, I'll try and address my reasoning and decision making for the round. To start; the cap gun was just the cap gun in the Metatstation showroom, replaced with a real revolver, varedited to look like the cap gun. My reasoning for this is simple. It...

Yeah stuff like Dragons and Blobs which have absolutely no roleplay opportunity should readily be cancelled by admins if people are actively doing something unique. They detract sooo much from the round. I wouldn't mind more time to cancel midrounds sometimes. Maybe 30 seconds or so before firing. ...

I initially retired over something that pissed me off. Enough terms in between then and now, and it's mostly better.

I agree with kieth actually, leave emotional responses out of notes entirely. Keep it professional.

They ollie'd themselves into a jail cell.

Yah I do tend to be sympathetic to mimes winding up in these kind of sticky situations. Though, the detective wasn't just in for "opposing Jeff," I saw him break a heretics blades against Jeff's wishes. (Which was funny but still definitely fair to demote.) And that's all I even saw, I th...

This man is a time travelling transphobe.

Not to spoil anything but the logs may show this is somewhat not as presented. Namely the mime may have been an unfortunate victim of circumstance and poor latency.

I think rule 12 as a goal clarification rule is invaluable. Zyb is one example, but I would also speak to the likes of Asher Clarke, who is another example. Your playstyle and your round to round goals being a pure detriment to everyone, even your supposed allies. Rule 12 is to safeguard against peo...

My first experience with Jeff was almost being type-baited by him. Whether he meant to do that or not is something I'm not sure about, and I've not heard about him doing that regularly so I can't imagine it was. But the fact that without even letting me speak a word after prompting a response from m...

The violence starts when I'm handed a knife.

I will call the tiger's mother to let her know he's misbehaving.

I literally wouldn't give a shit, just don't actively sabotage the cult and don't be surprised if you have to start gaming when you're dripping blood everywhere from the visible halo above your head.

if you want to suicide to prevent a conversion, that's a skill issue on the cult's part, since they should have had you restrained or stunned. As Cobby pointed out, this is literally an inconsistency in our rules we now have to put up with, as the suicide verb is not a legal method for AI's to kill...

Skill issue, restrain them. Shame about signaller suicide. Let's not fall into the trap of enabling sweaty verb-based gameplay of all things. If someone is abusing it too much and seem to have a tendency to do because it is mechanically (crew-sidedly) stronger than conventional suicide/death due to...

Personally I'd be ruling it as inclusive anyway. You're not already denying a conversion/teammate either way, and it is just bad sportsmanship.

I'll be honest, beating someone into crit for shooting you with a syringe is not an exaggeration at all. Chem warfare dorks deserve to get fucked up. It's maybe a bit much to then leave them in an extremely debilitating state and that's where I think he pushes things. Violently beating someone up th...

pretty much. if it becomes an issue, it needs to be handled as rule 1, not some special clause buried in the rules that say it's okay when x or y criteria is met. Cobby's point is why i would be cautious about how exactly you phrase accepting the behavior so readily. We do not have coverage for abu...

i am not personally interested in the mess that enforcing this would entail, and the idea of giving someone a piece of paper that says 'i am going to shoot you' and shooting them when they read it seems funny. There doesn't have to be much done. Just handle it in the same way we handle talkbaiting,...

I feel like making it a habit to force people to be wary to interact with you or do things in your presence because you bait them like that is an equal problem. I don't think timonk's example counts, thats just uncontrollable to a degree, it's not like you weren't in an active combat already. But I ...

To be clear, I wasn't saying "we should code this out", more that if the consensus was "the captain/hos/security/whoever shouldn't ever be mugging the Chaplain for his null rod (to get anti-magic)" then it's better dealt with by code then admins - anything more shades of grey th...

I would never consider a code solution a viable answer to this problem, because I do not think the issue of the null rod protecting anyone who holds it is bad game design element. Compromising the sandbox because we, as admins, refuse to budge on a matter is an absolutely detrimental and an ill-conc...

The example of the bartender's shotgun was based on a hypothetical I proposed where, in the event that there is no alternatives as a ballistic weapon (for one reason or another; code changes, in-round events, etc.), the bartender's shotgun becomes the predominant ballistic weapon one could go get. I...

Why do all the people I used to hang out with on Bagil come back deranged?

Not having friends from the internet may be fucked up, but you certainly wouldn't be at risk of getting banned for joining a metacomming discord. I'm just here to play games n shit I'm not looking to get wrapped up in what other people are cooking. I mean, if it's whatever is best for you, I suppos...

Thinking having friends on the internet is a character flaw is like, actually maybe the most fucked up take in this thread if I had to be honest because there are plenty of people here who can functionally maintain friendships without either breaking server rules OR committing felonies. Like, yes, h...

No, no. Let's say you and I are chatting in TG-Gen while also in game, we're talking about Starsector or something, and Vekter comes in and posts a screenshot from the current round while we're talking. Should we be banned, too? Because that's basically what this part is saying There are degrees of...

i feel like maybe a better way to handle it though would have been to sit everyone down, get everyone to publicly apologize, and then give them all 6 month bans or something as a show of some kind of punishment. there is no win from this I suppose. In a way, a 6 month ban may as well be a permaban ...

I cant take this shit much longer, what is a damn warning

Gupta, you have multiple warnings yourself.

Seeing as there were five security personnel (not including the warden) it probably would have been better to leave, get a warrant for arrest, then return with several officers to arrest the person. No idea how the round was at that point, though after that point it was a bloody mess. A riot broke ...

Man, I can't even find this funny anymore, what a let down.

IT'S A FUCKING QUIRK CHOICE, THEY DON'T EVEN CHARGE FOR IT

Everyone can get pride pins, dipshit, they came free with your fucking quirk choices.

I don't tend to pull the trigger unless I'm confident I can build a case where it won't be challenged. but your case did get challenged, and even though there was essentially nothing on the line, you capitulated. https://i.imgur.com/WmBN1JY.png Weak.

Man, what a character.

On the points of you proposals: For the poll questioning; Say we had some mildly controversial game or rule change that you wanted to get the opinions of the playerbase at large about. How would you go about making this poll? Where and how exactly are the polls meant to be utilized? Is it always mea...

Let's suggest a hypothetical, since i don't think it is terribly much of a stretch if you believe that tiding into departments via maint is at all a concern presently. Let's say assistants just open passages into maintenance via tunneling into the walls, since they cannot use the doors and nobody is...

Do you think any discussion would've resulted in the mosin reskin not getting merged? I don't think it was avoidable regardless of its popularity. I mean, yes. Discussion would have not had it merged as much as discussion did have it merged. The person who made the pr and did the sprites was open t...

Do you believe current headmins already are hesitant to act towards resolving menial elements of the role without group consultations? What would be considered approach for a lone headmin to act and respond with a decision without consultation? What do you think of the ongoing silicon policy rewrite...

Have you any prior experience as an admin (or similar role) on server? What differences might exist between those experiences if so? Since I feel the first agenda is really two in one, so tackling the first half, how exactly do you anticipate separating the two servers further than mere server triba...

Besides the meme platform, do you have any actual experience as an admin on any server whatsoever?

Are you familiar with the training process for trialmins/admin candidates as they stand?

If your only concern is one issue, how can you be so sure you will be able to accomplish that goal despite the presence of two other headmins who may oppose your decision? If they do oppose this decision, what value is there in what effectively amounts to a yesman? Is there not more value in a candi...

Not sure where the hostility circlejerk for people who want the codebase changelogs to primarily be clear and concise descriptions of the changes made to the game is coming from. Most changelogs don't really say much even if they're largely just stating what the PR did. They're shorthands for what ...

who gives a fuck

Some sad fucks in the thread tonight. Time to keep writing RP changelogs for funsies.

The first mech refactor really broke a lot while also applying a lot of significant balance changes that were mostly negatives. I was not impressed by how that was handled. I don't think we can go back but there is a lot to untangle and I'll have to dedicate more time to that eventually. I think the...

It's probably marmite, because he eats the worst spread compared to vegemite, the true spread for your toast.

I've never seen someone effectively gaslight an entire forum before. Bravo.
