aye, the idea behind this sort of enforcement is generally that two wrongs don't make a right. oftentimes a player grows resentful not only because they feel like they've been wronged by another player, but our system around delicately handling people's privacy with punishments means that unless it'...

some of my fears with policing this stuff back is that 1. we end up restricting it when it might be harmless or actually make the game more interesting for the people involved - you get a different setup to break into every round. While the story might be self-contained, I think the evolution of me...

my thoughts as i posted in bus have always been that i find the game is at its best and offers the best experiences when rounds are self contained. a bored warden coming into a windfall of resources and going "we've had a few prisoners so far, i'm going to reinforce the brig" is fine to me...

my experience so far is that we're self policing on this kind of stuff. there are admins who give out antag tokens. i'm not really interested in digging up the reasons why so far after the fact, it's not that huge of a deal. but trying my best so summarize my thoughts concisely: it's better that ant...

many thanks to everyone who has participated in this discussion. the point of it to begin with was to try and uncover how much the consensus varied across the playerbase and admin team. it seems to be that a lot of us are in agreement, and our headmin discussions have also supported our initial thou...

i would like to attempt to drill down a bit more and instead of pontificating about the nature of tokens or that the current policy is strict, let's try to address what we are specifically trying to achieve with this new interpretation. the first consideration is that the terms for an antag token cu...

i told striders that i would close every policy thread with an original monā comic panel that i wrote, so more opportunity to make a cat say funny things using a meme from 1999 has me hyped. i'm still working out the formatting cus the first one from the other events policy thread had to be uploaded...

there are 2 concerns i have off the bat: the first is favouritism. currently, when admins inject threat into a round or run an event with antagonists, they pull people randomly from the ghost pool or they engage with whoever has the job or whatever they're targeting in-game. we are encouraged in tra...

trust me when i say that bad feedback from an event is enough of a deterrent already. having an entire server of people pissed at you is quite intense and i've seen it dishearten some admins to the point that they want to quit. sorry if you have a bad round and feel like your precious time has been ...

hello, we have no desire to change overarching policy on events from a single or handful of bad experiences. it is sad when players don't have fun, but events are as much a part of the game as anything else. admins are encouraged to run events on both large and small scales to bring the world to lif...

hello, the topic of discussion in this thread is whether or not having the vote be later in the round will be more representative of players' choices under the current system because many people vote but then end up leaving the round and not coming back for the next one, or the vote is done so early...

that's the spirit!

if this thread gets 420 pages i will delete the forums

yes, it happens whenever i press the "join game" button.

aye aye, this is a great and much appreciated elaboration. for a moment lets expand this topic to cover all jobs and their responsibility to abide by RP rules 4 and 9. i suppose the question i am drilling down to is how much responsibility we place on non-security to recognize when there is enough s...

i would be open to tweaking the nature of map voting more so that it actually has more of a chance of accurately selecting maps for people who want to play them, rather than as a funny little toy that people can goof around with to actively harm rounds and players' experiences. but this is squarely ...

i personally struggle to see the value in asking admins to police voting habits - even if the bans are only for voting, it is an entirely new sect of enforcement that would need to be implemented. if the system is this easily abusable to the point that it is regularly being used against its very pur...

If I'm honest I don't think this really needs a policy change or even a policy ruling. The Cap's limitations clearly isn't causing the players any issues ICly in-game. The only issues it's causing are OOC within a very, very small minority of admins (it's kinda just Vekter and Bmon, and even Vekter...

one time i forgot to disable the option where not getting a job just gives you a random one and i ended up with curator. i decided to just roll with it and wanted to make the best library ever. so i started expanding it with the help of an assistant, we built tasteful wood floor, seating, shelves, d...

bmon might have decent points about the intricacies of validhunting on manuel - i know he's personally been tunnelled by people who really had no right to hunt him in the past when he's played as a heretic. i think there is valuable discussion in things like this. but in this situation too much has ...

howdy, this has sort of become a headmin-owned ban and we've been discussing it internally. second chances often come cheap in this community, but third chances are not. with respect to this, i feel that it's important to not set you up for failure and try to impress upon you how much of a headache ...

this thread made me realize how much the attitude towards golems has changed over the years. they were basically kill on sight for the longest time because their reputation was that 99.9% of the time they were doing something heinously shitty and deserved to be destroyed. i still don't trust them as...

we agreed 10 minutes after meeting in headminbus that shutting down the servers was the best move for the community

Okay bmon haters hear me out, I'm about to make a conjecture If there was a terrorist in the White House going around and attacking congress members, would you expect President Joe Biden himself to hunt him down? Not to mention that while it's possible that this captain was an 80 year old with deme...

this was total ass to go through and re-investigate. if you're banned from this, it is very likely i will oppose you returning. if you got a second chance before i had a say in it, then don't ever do this shit again. i think my feelings on this are very clear at this point and it's the last i'm real...

in all honesty? i would probably take a very long break from the game and then try to set up my own small scale thing to do weekly d&d style sessions with very low commitment, with a smaller group that i've vibe checked beforehand so we're all compatible with what we want from our sessions toget...

i will prepend this uneducated opinion with the caveat that i don't play silicones very much, and silicon policy in general frightens me, stories of complex logical and ethical dilemmas for an AI to resolve under silicon policy were used to scare me and the other children into compliance while growi...

glendalough round tower we love towerposting also thank you for posting this beautiful tower kinneb, i have studied this exact tower!! i have a fun fact about it: the conical roof is a replica built in 1878 when it was struck by lightning. there are only 13 of these types of round towers left in ir...

my man bmon will beat the accusations against his good name yea he's kinda twisted as an antag but honestly manuel needs that kind of energy sometimes. let him cook. he's capable of being super chill too. i have this nice recent memory of us just shooting the shit in medbay together during a slow ro...

fwiw to ekat: if you feel strongly that having this rule amendment is something you and other players would benefit from, then it may be well worth starting a policy thread on it. this is much more beneficial than trying to create policy amendments through appeals. it allows for a wider discussion a...

hello. i was directly involved in this, as were the other headmins and i will be giving my side of what happened. my first exposure to this was seeing your feedback post. you and anyone else are fully entitled to leave feedback with your thoughts and feelings on how admins perform. in your feedback ...

that's not how you ruin a thread. this is.

final technique: forbidden thread destruction

one time me and rhials were like "let's get just actually disgustingly stoned and then play command" so he picked captain and i picked hos barely able to comprehend what was going on, with like 1 other sec officer. then almost immediately revs was confirmed... and we won, threw the last he...

Something i thought about last night which i think would help to add code wise is some form of curfew. Basically a new button on the comms console that is just like emergency maint access in a sense that its a toggle but it has no mechanical impact on the station other than announcing that a curfew...

my understanding of the reasoning behind implementing the "you must state that you're arresting someone and why if the situation permits it to get your metaprotections" is that if someone doesn't know why they're being arrested, they cannot make a judgement on whether or not the arrest is ...

i dislike the kys phrase, even though ive used it several times in moments of anger, however i do think its odd that someone can come at you full force with insults, but once you step it up to that its an instant rule-11 violation, and the person that was slinging other insults at you in usually in...

imo it's fine to see an assistant in viro, a "secure" area in that you have to pass through a cycling airlock system to enter it because it contains transmissible diseases, and think "something might be up" and find out what they're doing there. but searching them just for standi...

i really don't understand what you're getting at in this thread, kieth. you should stop insinuating things and just say what you mean. i don't get why what tbm posted would make you respond like this. two losers are out of the community and we're better off for it. you're critical of those who have...

if you were aware of him, i am surprised he survived your entire term. i think he was a terry main, wasn't he? He was not very active during my term nor did he get ahelped during it. The ban is related to him getting a minor note and drama being caused because people thinking the note was unjust an...

i'd rather have jonashx over the said 30 year old porn fetishist whose entire bit was sexually harassing other players which is really common in tg players for some reason. i seriously put high-risk directed kys speech like this at the same level of as doxxing threats. that shit really hurts people...

whatever rule i get to use at the time to make the game good, and that's only half a joke. i don't read the rules and then compare behaviour against it, i see behaviour that makes me go "hmm this made the game bad because they did this" and then i check the rules to see what it says about ...

i cba to connect just for this so here is my scrubby: https://scrubby.melonmesa.com/ckey/dendydoom

of course this doesn't count all the hours pre-tracked time from when most of the players here were still drooling on ipads but we'll ignore that inconvenient truth to make this simple

good ending for all involved. the situation was grey enough that it would need investigation, and the note is so old that investigating it would be a pain in the ass and not really worth anyone's precious time. there's no way this note would've been used to justify any action anyway. these sorts of ...
