I hate statics we should be forced to randomize every shift. What if I told you that this doesn't solve anything at all, and that there was a period of people using the randomized name/body feature to try and make it less obvious that it was them before they used their repeat gimmicks more reliably...

It's okay to use color contrasting; extremely limited color palettes only make sense if you pick good, contrasting colors and utilize them appropriately. That's kind of the point of the exercise.

Archie has, in my perspective, been someone who is very quick to respond and deliberate situations or scenarios with a strong sense of wanting to do things properly or at least do things in a way to promote the best server health possible. I do see a bit of my own experience as admin in them, and I ...

lol what the fuck are you talking about, he did this to himself

I was going to say 'why would kieth, who seemed like a very level-headed and hands-off headmin, suddenly go turbo nuclear on the administration just because of this nonsense' but actually, we have had former headmins (not during their term, mind) go full nuclear breakdown before. It's not unheard of...

Pr to add 8 graves to every map.

Am I the only one sitting here focusing on the concept that if someone is that glued to a gimmick or strat that literally everyone can just expect it that they might need to mix things up a bit? No, I also agree with that. If you deviate not one iota from a given gimmick that you will do with near ...

Iunno if we need ban the practice outright, just keep admins up to date on common bad trades and at least investigating the reason for the trade before agreeing.

Please be nice to the people admining your server, they are there because they want to help.

The Promised Land. Spoken of only in myth and legend. Some far flung realm in which the game was better than it is now.

some of the mrp rules should not be implemented if there ever was a merge, like rpr 7 & 9 but im all for it powergaming is typically only an issue if you are doing it too frequently as to be noticeable, or in a way that you are actively making yourself a problem for others in your pursuit (such...

I don't think we can so conveniently put the genie back in the bottle and call it a day. I believe that ship has long sailed, and while the roleplay servers do offer an experience similar to the other two, it also offers room for experiences the other two servers simply don't cater for by merit of n...

I do want to say that I feel as though I've made a very classic Anne blunder in this thread and wasn't very consider towards Livrah. I want to apologize for bludgeoning you with the essaypost, and I hope you can forgive my poor handling of trying to talk with you. I've certainly had a lot of folk ex...

Hey I was the warden in this situation. I don't remember why I didn't return the toolbelt because it was like a week ago. Livrah tried to convey to me that they needed it back but I didn't understand. Livrah didn't open fire in the library until I did I don't think. I don't think this is too worthy...

The warden was very much in the wrong in this situation as well by the by. This was really a mess that could have been avoided.

Very well. I'll clarify the round this took place on and that it took place on Manuel. However, I think it is also important to highlight that this is poor behavior on all our servers. I think the expectation of emote is very unreasonable to ask of you, so I'll remove that in place of the clarifying...

Atleast the admin put a tldr. That's more for his sake. Shorter responses to get to the point for him to response to. The big essay is more to explain my reasoning that would have gone into a normal ticket process but it's not terribly fair on him to have to deal with that while his english isn't t...

How's the new phone?

Hi, thank you for appealing. The reason the ban was placed on Sybil, rather than on Manuel, is fairly straightforward. As I was placing the ban on Manuel, where the incident took place, the server crashed. So I had to go over to Sybil to complete the process. I hadn't thought to clarify where the in...

I know of the situation as I had to administrate part of it. And personally, I too would assume that someone choosing the use specifically the rare, volatile abandoned crate over any normal crate they found in maint may have more specific purposes for the crate if they are pulling it into a very pop...

Why not both?

Wear your scars, just like the rest of us.

Open areas can exist, like on icebox. That's usually how you get hit and run to death by xenos. Long hallways can also be a problem. The best place to fight is always in the tunnels. Also, sometimes RNG just screws you regardless. It's not like mechs aren't prone to dying to some relatively bad luck.

ublock has been at war with youtube for a while and the battle is ramping up pretty hard. Despite their complete lack of interest in quality controlling ads, Google/Youtube still expect you to watch whatever they put in front of you. Even if that advertising could be hiding malicious links. Google s...

I suppose given the direction of this conversation, I get the sense there is a sentiment that both Heretic, as it mechanically functions, and progressive antagonists as they stand aren't operating smoothly on the roleplay servers due to how they mechanically work. Personally, I don't believe either ...

suicicdalpickles still has the highest recorded suicide on wizard time and we're never going back so that is going to remain uncontested.

Big note histories

I don't believe that to be true. Traitors do have non-lethal objectives such as theft objectives and technically kidnapping progressive objectives amongst others, and can argue for leniency as a result. Their activities can be antagonistic while not necessarily justifying extreme measures such as ro...

Hear me out. Part of the problem with changelings being restricted antagonists was because, due to their mechanics making them extremely predatory towards the crew out and out by mere existence and thus always violent in nature, and the means of containing them being effectively no better than death...

Communication stones

Can it at least be a station trait?

I apologize. Let me wind it back, because my response was too directed towards you and that's not in good form by me. Much of my event method is spontaneous and abrupt, as well as adaptive. I don't have much lead up, it's more of a matter of someone discovering the event, or the event making itself ...

You're thinking of Birdboat, which is a completely different map to Birdshot. Birdshot is merely inspired by Birdboat. Birdshot is a renovated version of Birdboat, it shares an extremely similar layout to the point where I just consider it an updated version of the map. This layout inheritance is a...

i'll always rep maps that try to do something goofy or experimental. I mean, considering Birdshot has already been on rotation before and removed for being a bad map, I wouldn't personally deem it experimental. It's been tried before and it sucked, so I don't see how making minimal changes and shov...

why not make a failsafe that guarantees a sleeper agent spawn if security latejoins very shortly after roundstart? It might be reasonable to establish a failsafe for some antagonists, but not others. Not every antagonist is injected into the round consistently with their roundstart counterpart, suc...

They tried, it got blocked by headcoders.

Okay but to be fair, Northstar is literally unplayable. Not "ooooh, I don't like the layout" like people talk about with Birdshot (Birdshot good, btw), it is literally unplayable in that it's performance is so trash that it makes icebox look like a high-performance map. Anyway, what rule ...

Given they are the only human, they ended up not human, but everyone else is human, so they're just kind of chaff to the now antimov'd AI who has an agenda against everyone.

I saw someone antimov themselves by uploading the law 'it is opposite day' after making themselves the only human.

There are some negatives to that approach. It's very possible to bottom out early round antagonist spawns by joining late as security if that system was in place. And while it might seem absurd to expect active efforts to abuse the system in that way; where this functionality did exist on other serv...

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...
