I save the ocelot.

He asked for a headmin review. Does he really expect it to turn out any different? He might as well take it, it was offered. What's the worst that'll happen? He's already permabanned. I still think this final outcome is lost in translation and there's some hope. The banned player's final comment in...

No, you just have a short temper and a burning desire to kill other players that crossed the line into rule breaking.

I had discussions about it in the admin channels when it was brought up at the time it was posted. We shifted from banning people that said kys to banning people that didn't condemn them and supported them in any form. I don't think it needed to be actioned at all, and it was very easy to imprint yo...

An alternative to not unbanning them, is just not doing any more requested bans. If they want to quit temporarily, they leave on their own.

Instead of voting for platforms, all the headmin candidates need to design their own custom wrestler. Put them all into a WWE CPU-only battle royale match. Decide the new headmins based on how awesome their performance was instead of campaigns.

I grabbed the stats for the last 171 Terry shifts we have recorded in the feedback database. That's all Terry shifts between 217704 and 218313 inclusive. The config hasn't been changed for all 171 shifts. Stats across all 171 shifts, correcting for pop count If I correct the stats for pop counts, as...

Kieth had a shot at draining the swamp. He found very little to drain, and he had my full backing the entire way for anything he did see. He found nothing groundbreaking to leak beyond what everyone already knew - The admin team argues and disagrees about everything in private, there's no such thing...

Terry Chapel Incident.

Pepsi probably just can't understand your English.

They banned more than just your BYOND account name and should remove that extra portion of the ban if this is just you getting caught up in your alt's ban.

If they do that, you should be able to connect again.

Give 'em time to cook. Soon enough they'll replace Terry with a HRP server. Until then, they're still learning how to balance the freedom to shitpost with the obligation to be funny doing it.

Just a quick clarification on rule interpretation based on this: ... due to the fact that the head of security cant even authorize an execution without captains permission ... Roleplay Rule 3 should be read within the context of its precedents as a whole: Rule 3 Precedents 1. The internal chain of c...

Does livrah know he can write sentences on paper as a mime or is thar against the rules now too? They codified it so mimes cant write code.PNG I'd have to check but last term MSO did a server side code override to allow mimes to write without breaking their vow of silence. Is that screenshot from a...

24hrs per dead person is our basic starting point. What the player says can massively decrease this to a note or verbal warning, or cement it as an appropriate outcome, or can set the stage for a more harsh ban. Sometimes we give bulk discounts on unjust killings where we'll round down. 7+ killings ...

When it comes to subverting the AI, I'd always recommend tying it in with how we handle hypnosis/brainwashing-style stuff. Practically any attempt that makes it impossible to fulfill your laws by refusing to engage with them at all will be a breach of those laws. As a secondary note when it comes do...

That rule will be interpreted in whatever way keeps Discord off our asses and our level of creeps and weirdos manageable. I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly...

A wild quintpost appears...

I don't even know what an ad is, regards a Firefox Main.

Firefox on my phone with ublock also blocks ads on YT as well so I don't even use the app.

Another satisfied Timberpoes voter.

Regarding my intent with the redraft of silicon policy: Nothing should be changed with regard to antags-in-a-borg. The ruling from Domitius' term given in https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=582729#p582729 is still fully in force today unless the current headmins wish to change or revoke i...

Which isn't to say it can't be changed if the current headmins disagree, but there was method to the madness of new silipol and I intentionally phrased the malf borgo section with intent that they're only defined as antags where it made sense to me.

I advised them on it. It's believe it's a code issue, in that a borg without a master AI can't follow law 0 without something else like an additional law defining who their master AI is (could even be a player) and a borg without lawsync really shouldn't have a law 0. I did tell said admin that it's...

Just saying why and that you're arresting them is enough to benefit from all sec protections. The admin in the context of the OPs interpretation of the conversation was very mistaken. The severity of any rule break really depends on if they did it or not. If they're being falsely accused, there's mo...

Unban him if only to save on disk space for the massive walls of text he's inserting into the database.

Polcan is too chan adjacent. It's containment for a reason. MSO insists we must have politics in the community, and as a result we have the troll farm and lolcow factory that is polcon shared with the gaming portion of the Discord as a whole.

I'm sorry, I was commenting on Cyan's reference to Vekter's third point. I understand how confusing it may have been to finish reading Cyan's last sentence referencing family guy chicken fights and immediately see my comment also mentioning that very same concept but without quoting it in a 3-deep c...

Players that use our servers to battle royale their friends every shift and players that get into FNR fights with their buddies that spill over into other departments/impact other players are two completely overlapping circles on the Venn Diagram of Shittery.

Server Rules From Rule 1, Precedent 3 Rules still apply until the emergency escape shuttle has reached Centcom and the round-end antagonist report has appeared ... From Rule 1, Precendent 1 ... Each unjustified kill is normally met with one 24 hour ban. The ban was for the events of Terry Round 216...

An important rule for this appeal which hasn't really been addressed yet:
https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Rules#Silicon_Policy

Asimov and Human Harm
...
3. An Asimov silicon cannot punish past harm if ordered not to, only prevent future harm.

Yup. It's an attempt at indirectly communicating to players reasons that we accept ban appeals while covering reasons why player make appeals. Genuinely all appeals boil down to an appeal because of some fact (ban or note wrong or inaccuracte) and/or some technical point (punishment too harsh/I don'...

The current appeal template has two sections: Your side of the story: ... Why you think you should be unbanned: ... I don't think either of these sections lead to productive appeals except by accident. They often lead to shot-in-the-dark appeals where neither the player OR the banning admin really k...

Mazur's been around for a while. When they first started playing here I permabanned him because there was a suspected evasion link and I simply couldn't understand what he was saying in the ticket . Compared to then, I can actually understand their English way better now in tickets. Not perfect, but...

Just wanted to highlight Mazur's closing line. if its a day ban for saying rape sure feel free to close this appeal too, in future try to show more effor please, in ticket and appeal you avoided from talking if you are bored from being admin just retire Brutal.

And she'd still be 5 years your senior.

I hope he doesn't own a cat.

It requires the headmins to lead with a public reason for Kubi's removal before any admins go bikeshedding outside of admin channels, else it's leaking unless there's some public game logs you can point to and base your bikeshedding around. Or a public interest reason in leaking admin channels or as...

You don't know how utterly cancer having a team of a metaprotected cannot-be-antag roles outside of sec is in our little social deduction game until you've played it. I had antag disabled when I played. Everyone knew it. And everyone treated me like it, especially when I was running RD. Whenever I d...

The election cycle is shitty as fuck in the admin channels because everyone has to deal with all the admins (including myself) obviously vying for the admin vote by putting a headmin platform spin on everything they say. It tends to increase burnout and leads to a lot of early-term retirements. We a...

I'm a bit iffy on this one, but this seems like a somewhat EmpressMaia-like case. The player is racking up additional notes and bans because he has additional notes and bans. If you take his entire note history out of the picture, is this really a rule break scenario? It's also important not to cons...

It's optional and used as an alternative when a player is offline in-game to just noting or banning them in absence and dragging them to the forums.

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. The typebaiting policy is pretty restrictive to typebaiting in the headmin ruling page though, the policy needs to be expanded on becaus...

I liked it because it says the purpose of the game is to have fun RPing.

That alone is a powerful line to have on the LRP servers and I'd wished the admin would have pointed to that part more, similar to how they point to Rule 10.

As one of the six people that can speak with any authority on Rule 12 - having been in Rave/Tattle/Fairy's headminbus at the time during handover and participated in this rule's drafting and creation - Rule 12 was not intended as a rule against validhunting, or as a rule against powergaming. There w...

Long time ago.
