Conflicts between non-slaved created ghost roles like mind-magnified monkeys and their uplifters are entirely IC - Monkeys are under no obligation OOC to listen to or obey the one who uplifted them, but the uplifter can absolutely attempt to reclaim the investment they put in by contributing the hat...

I intentionally left this thread until the new elects could weigh in on it, as while it's silly it is more or less direct criticism of our term. Neither we nor they have any interest in implementing this system - it rewards bad faith play and appeal behaviour at the cost of the rounds of everyone wh...

Till recently the admin team has been operating under an old headmin memo that blatant type-baiting can be ruled as metagaming and is actionable by admins. We're going to continue that as our official ruling on the matter. Blatant type-baiting (I.E. Explicitly using short questions to get someone to...

We've decided to not make major changes to the current policy regarding tiding - players can break into places to acquire items, but excessively repeated tiding can be actioned by admins. As Cobby has mentioned, if you're reliably breaking into an area every single round, you're doing it too much. S...

We're not interested in raising hour requirements for team antags. Players need to play the antags to learn them, new players messing up with team antags is frankly funny, and we have no desire to treat the ability to achieve a competitive win-condition as the primary decider of whom gets to play wh...

As with the ending of viewtopic.php?f=33&t=31546&start=50 - the rewritten MRP rules are now live (and have been for a few days) on the MRP servers. As such this thread is getting closed.

LiarGG has been on the admins .txt for some number of months. This thread is for public review of how they've been going, pending potential promotion to full game admin. As always, this is a time where players are encouraged to offer feedback and comment on how they think they've been going, and whe...

Gonna be locking this thread here - We (or any other headmin term) do not have the power to dictate to other headmin terms what they are and are not allowed to do. Any decision we or the headmins who come after us make that restricts the powers of future headmins could be promptly overwritten at wil...

Given that the direct proposal (written by me, stolen by timber, stolen back by me and then implemented) of this thread has now been implemented into the RP rules directly, I'm going to close this thread here. Questions, proposals and requests for clarification can go in new threads if need be, so t...

We're not going to lift any of the OOC in IC restrictions. There are a multitude of ways to communicate IC that either you need to step away from the computer for a moment, or communicate after the fact that you were away for a moment and missed something. We are not a no-roleplay server, and basic ...

After much consideration, we're not currently favourable towards assigning blanket validity to security when arrestees choose to lie while whining / complaining. The increased potential headaches for everyone involved when the questions of whether or not people are lying or just being wrong about an...

Gulag sentences are a standard tool in security's arsenal for handling crimes of varying durations (being roughly equal to 100 points per minute +1), and outside of excessive or unfounded use the tool is entirely IC. Players can always ahelp the validity of a gulag punishment, but can expect that th...

We have no interest in the general prohibition of station roboticists, research directors and command staff creating or ordering the creation of new AIs, multi-AI rounds have great potential for interesting and shenanigan filled silliness, and we have no intention of banning that wholesale. With tha...

After ten thousand years most of two headmin terms, the RP rule rewrite (started by Timber, finished by myself and then edited by the collective power of the combined admin team) is finally done, and we'll be moving to change over the RP rules to it effective basically immediately. The full text of ...

Omega informed me you were interested in knowing whether we had any further comment or intent to repeal this ban: we do not.

Spook: As above
Rave: Good to close.
San: No problem with closing.

Looking into this ban, we agree that four days is disproportionate in relation to the damage caused as a result of the plasma leak, so we will be reducing the ban duration - this level of minor incident would not normally be escalated to a ban at all without evidence of major damage caused to other ...

We see no reason to uphold this complaint. Making calls on adminhelps midround is what admins do, and we don't see anything that indicates Easy failed to do their due diligence here. Simply disagreeing with an admin is not grounds for a successful admin complaint. Spook: Do not uphold Rave: Do not u...

I embrace the end

In current policy the only core rules that silicons care about (some RP rules apply as well but are irrelevant to this proposal) in regards to whether or not they follow law 2 orders (or any other law that requires action) are those that deal with explicitly OOC player conduct such as rules 8 and 11...

As with the revs / provo thread, probably not for a while, continuing feedback is useful to dynamic changes both before and after they happen and I may as well leave a central place for it to be discussed.

What consitutes willing harm / how to handle consent to harm as an asimov silicon was effectively ruled on here https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=32360, several months later much of the growing pains of A++ appear to have faded, and we're not interested in reverting to baseline ...

Forceborging people as a non-antagonist where other options exist is extremely griefy, and should be avoided - as Timber has mentioned putting the potential borgee's brain in an MMI is a necessary step in that path to borging someone, finding out if the patient is fine with being borged as an altern...

DJ and Forum administration is both a large extra workload and something we do not believe would be best served by the sudden introduction of 100+ extra admins on, having a smaller specialised team works best for those roles.

Spook: As above
Rave: Agree with above
San: Agree with above

Rule 12 is meant to deal with chronic gameplay patterns that ruin everyone's fun. Many things can be fun and interesting as a one-off or occasional gimmick. When individuals consistently and at all costs put mechanics and kill counts over community-based interaction rule 12 is applied for the sake o...

A while ago I made some changes to dynamic configs, among these were changes to the relative and absolute weights of provo by differing amounts across all servers. These changes seem to have gone well in the long run (from what I've seen and seen reported), but I'll still be keeping an eye on the co...

Roundstart prisoners abusing law 2 orders to immediately circumvent the starting conditions of their role is a pretty negative gameplay loop, but a general "don't listen to the roundstart prisoners" is something that upon reflection I'm loathe to implement (asimov silicons freeing legitima...

I'll be keeping an eye on heavy ruleset weights in the MRP config, and I'll make changes if I think they're necessary. If they're implemented though they'll be the normal silent changes. (For those who are unaware of why we handle it that way - dynamic is a very noisy system and we have a long recor...

While I'm personally of the opinion that immediately escalating to murder where other options are available and just as (if not sometimes more) effective is a bit of a dick move, attempting to change the laws of an AI that has no law obligating it to allow you to do so is and should always be rather...

Direct or thinly veiled ban requests are already easily dismissed by presiding headmin teams - engagement with them is purely at the discretion of the presiding term (something we could not rule on anyway) we're potentially interested in serial misuse of the system resulting in action being taken, b...

Our response to this was heavily delayed by some scheduling issues, we apologise for this. We've decided to repeal the notes applied in the two tickets related to this incident. While there was precedent set previously for noting people for mass suicide pacts, the primary justification for those ban...

Apologies for the delay on this, we've had some scheduling conflicts making it hard to get things done recently. After confirming the events that led to this complaint, we have decided that it is entirely merited and will be upholding it. While messing around with admin tools on lowpop isn't somethi...

Right, so this was delayed by a lot of stuff on my end, but trying to push it forward so things do get done. As a first step, I'm really not interested in removing or significantly loosing naming policy. Even with the generally silly vibe /tg/ maintains, we still want to maintain a certain degree of...
