Re: Assistant Overhaul

This idea sound really nice but Lo6a4evskiy is right, it would be abused. This shouldn't be necessary now that heads can grant department access, a change I couldn't support more.

It's a good writeup, and it's been suggested several times over the years, but it prevents Joe Assistant from doing whatever the fuck they want, so it'll never happen on this server.

Re: Encouraging roleplay

Dress up and artistic options encourage RP to some extent. After expending effort looking fancy or making the perfect wire art/shrine people like to crow a bit. This. And sadly the attempt to provide backstory for a murder-objective is nice, but would get in the way far too often. Like Miggles said.

Re: Remove Gender option

Eunuchs are still referred to with male pronouns (if they identify as male), they do not become "it". Which means "neuter" pronouns are confusingly named, yeah. I'm sure people would choose them occasionally but they're not worth the UI option and the amount of accidental offensi...

Re: Remove Gender option

It'd be a huge change since we currently use byond's helpful gender macros, \he and \his. The reference says only the following are valid: "neuter" "male" "female" "plural" We could theoretically replace all instances of \he and \his with [src.pronoun] and [sr...
