I keep trying to write a post on this but it all just boils down to me disliking progression =/

I think anyone with sufficient social skills could be a half decent admin if they care enough. Some naturally have better dispositions but ultimately as long as you care enough to fit the image of what an admin should be, you can become and excel as one. Some people think being an admin would be coo...

I've never seen a term more willing to depart from the status quo than this one. That carries its own implications but I think we'll really just have to wait and see how this terms changes age. I'm curious to see if this will change the type of headmins we see going forward

A shame players club'll always be like this, though.

Playersclub has improved significantly when it comes to toxicity imo.

On one hand these discord bans really rub me the wrong way, on the other defending this type of person is almost always a mistake. This shit blows

@Mr Mcblade

Just wanna say your posts have all been top notch in this thread (although i did have to lookup the word parasocial!). You were unappreciated in your time (pages 1-3)

+1 to shifting (written) team antag expectations from not harming their team to actually contributing something. I also much prefer your phrasing of "act like an antag get treated like one". Don't particularly care for the rest of your grammatical/phrasing changes to rule 4 but I do admit ...

my apologies dr capsandi

if you're gonna quit just request a ban or logoff, suicide by admin is the most embarassing shit

OP could have been phrased better but honestly I think we'd be better off if more ppl were upfront ab negative elements of the community such as this. My natural reaction would have been to just shrug it off and quietly let it bother me but that wouldn't help anything, so

wesoda25

Looking at RP rules, I'd prefer if 5 and 9 never touch LRP. I also think we could do without 7. Rule 4 from the base ruleset should absolutely not be touched imo. Explanations: RP 5 & Base 4: Specifically, I don't ever want to see a Sybil/Bagil (should it regain pop) where murderboning isn't all...

wesoda25

I think this is perfectly reasonable and fair expectation to place upon players from any server. I highly doubt it will somehow compromise the "spirit of LRP" or whatever subjective thing people have been larping about. In most scenarios it simply places the burden of communication (God fo...

Managed to crack an 8 minute pace for my half which marks the first measurable progress I've seen since HS. The race was a total blast but it did sort of kill me physically and emotionally for a couple days, oh well! I think for once I might take advantage of the foundation I've built up and sign up...

I find the whole concept of weight-lifting "muscle memory" really interesting. Do you bounce back faster because you have better form + a greater ability to push yourself to true fail than when you started, or is it because the biology of your muscles has permanently changed? Let us know h...

Find a buddy to go with to show you the ropes + make it less scary. A trainer to show you proper form is also a really good idea.

Got a half later this month. Maybe this time I will actually continue running after achieving my goal... (it wont happen). By ultrarunning do you mean those crazy marathon+ distance races? Yeah I did my first 50k two years ago in about 6 hours and it took me so long because I had just finished two ...

I've been getting back into the gym recently after taking a break from ultra running for a bit. Going in three days a week now and just kind of doing all the weight machines to get a feel for where I am and what I should be progressing towards. I know I need to go a bit heavier on pulling vs pushin...

Meh, I’d sooner blindly take someone at their word and look like an idiot in doing so than attempt to quantify how much creepiness is “too much.” Admittedly however I may have too readily taken the assertion of creepiness as a fact. Take what i say with a grain of salt as always, I probably got a li...

idk like i'd be extremely pissed if the admin says "lolno" and i dont expect admins to bend to my requests like that if a jannie knows how to offer you to ghosts they probably know how to change your name too (click on spessman's name in top left, it changes name, ID and PDA in a single c...

I think it’s a waste of time to dig as deep into escalation as it looks like they are in that appeal. More important is the big picture, in which sinfuls behavior was kind of gross and runs afoul of… rule 1? Maybe 12? I can’t concretely point at any one thing he did and say, “Yeah this is wrong,” bu...

A map means more on low/dead pop because you could end up there for hours. Power to the players; if the majority don’t want to play, for whatever reason, then so be it.

Unless there’s an ongoing pattern of play2win behavior I think this sort of thing should be left IC. There’s so many potentially valid reasons for taking the rod that I question what actual use you would even get out of a ruling here. Admins should use their discretion (while erring on the side of c...

Deal with the problems that are in front of you as sec and ignore the rest until they too are in front of you. Otherwise you'll be running all over handing out half-assed resolutions left and right, while also going crazy. The ticket looks fine too. Player was given a chance to correct things ICly a...

Respect to ari for deviating from the status quo on a server like terry, that sort of thing can be really intimidating. Glad to see admins taking advantage of the play to win rule or whichever one they chose to invoke. Looking forward to their response, have fun headmins!

(I would) Make a schedule and don’t just mindlessly consume entertainment. Save it for a certain time, until you’ve accomplished something, etc. I’d use the bulk of your time for some sort of academic or creative pursuit. I’m sure being bedridden (pardon my assumption) for a week sucks, I’d try to c...

Greenlighting a method of saying the word, if only for antags, falls short of what it meant to achieve I think. The community can’t exactly police itself if they have to worry about the burden of proof.

Big fan of Roleplay rule 10. "There are a great many gimmicks, dramas and plans that result in excellent stories beloved by many, and part of idea of the higher roleplay environment is to make space for this to happen. Many of these experiences fade with replication however – constant repetiti...

wesoda25

Saying "ligger" making you valid is an elegant solution until it's not. Thus another argument in favor of just hard filtering the word. Short of that, soft filter would help admins in policing this sort of thing

Been really enjoying Ram by Paul McCartney lately. It’s a sweet, haunting little collection of various jams and bops.

Hi thrax, nice to see you running! Since you mentioned training, I’d like to ask what your philosophy is regarding it. What values and lessons do you emphasize for candies, and how do you go about teaching them? Also, what are your standards for new admins? What do you like to see in applicants, and...

Also -1 on your appeals idea. headmin workload is presumably the problem with response times, I don't think adding something else to the docket will really help much of anything. Since you're looking for solutions, though, what do you think about the idea of letting gamemasters/senior admins/whoever...

Simple solution. Enforce random naming. If Manuel is truly MRP then people will not have trouble - as roleplayers - playing a completely random character and interacting with completely random people. If you guys are admitting that Manuel is just sybil but with additional rules, then you guys didn'...

Clear admin misconduct. Banning a player for approaching you and asking a question is beyond retarded. Wordlessly banning a cooperative player is malicious. Responding to a player's appeal and complaint with memes (and nothing else) is unprofessional. I rarely argue for harsh punishments, but this ...

As the title clearly states, I’m curious to see you guys dissect an event from this last term. It could be a ruling, a ban, a config change - whatever. It doesn’t even have to be something that the headmins got involved in. If they were: thoughts? What did you like? Dislike? Would you have handled i...
