Hey guys, voting is currently happening for all players but I figured I would post this now.
Next election instead of doing the usual nomination and then creation of a thread for the player vote, it is going to be required that anyone who wants to run (as everyone basically nominates themselves already anyways) must acquire the endorsement of two (2) players and one (1) administrator. Players and admins can endorse multiple candidates if they'd like. Endorsing someone for candidacy is simply saying you'd...
Note appeals:
Notes are remarks about players added to player's files in order to help keep track of player behavior, trends, as well as admin interactions with players. Notes have many uses and are not exclusively used to record rule breaking behavior, but we do recognize that their existence can seem like a black mark on the player.
For those reasons, notes can be appealed if they match one of the following two cases:
The Return of the Stoner
Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

Here we are again for another exciting headmin election. Last time was close as I came in second for the Player and Admin votes, losing the Player election by only 20 votes, wow!
When I went out on last campaign's platform I was uncertain with how voters would respond. I appreciate each and every one of you that voted in support. Now I can step forward with confidence into this term's election knowing that others around here share in my vision of...
Hello! I'm Dragomagol , or if you've seen me kicking around on discord you might know me better as Tattle . When I started out on /tg/ I kept primarily to Bagil, but since becoming admin I've enjoyed hopping between servers seeing what each one has to offer, and communicating with their dedicated players and admins.
I've been an admin for the past year and a bit now, and have poked my head into a lot of the subcommunities that make up /tg/station. Events, admin training, wiki editing, coding, mapping....
1a8b78778fdd6612b26876cf0a15d202.jpg Whats up fellas my name is Bindy Johal, I am still around ready to run for the headmin elections once again, I am ready to bring a lot of change.
Original Promises Before:
Remove Gamemaster Role
Remove Inactive Admins
What are your promises now?
Same shit as above, but some more shit.
Remove Manuel as a server, and try to encourage more LRP servers to settle in our servers, and try to encourage the MRPers to go to other servers
Try to boost Bagil's...
From an outside perspective, the most important part of being a headmin is the following:
1. Responding to policy discussion threads. Since February, over 50 have been made.
2. Responding to escalated ban appeal threads. Since February, nearly 30 ban appeals have been resolved by head admins.
3. Responding to admin complaints. Since February, over 10 have been made.
4. Accepting new admins. Since February, we've had nearly 20 new trial admins.
5. Being a leader amongst a large, diverse,...
I'm running for my first head admin election! Exciting times - I am very much looking forward to the whole process and I am hopeful about being given a chance to help lead and steer the community in the right direction.
Who?
I'm Cimika, a french player turned admin in early March 2021. I initially hailed from our good ol' Manuel server before falling in love with the goofier atmosphere that Sybil and Terry provide us.
A couple people have mentioned this and I've heard others express support. Do you support term limits for headmins? If so, what form would you like them to take?
ARMHULEN AND BAZELART AND TRALEZAB ARE TEAMING UP IN THIS SUMMER'S HEADMIN ELECTION
WHAT I WANT TO DO:
I will go BACK to 2017 style of headmin ruling, aka all headmins may answer an appeal or policy, and the others can post too if they disagree. This brings the discussion OUT of headminbus and BACK into public, and I have calculated it will shave ENTIRE WEEKS off of response time
I want to actually clean up vc stuff with better mute roles and party game roles. We have...
Thanks to Armhulen, Goof, Rave and Lukas for participating, and especially thanks to Sacko who organised the whole thing, moderated and was generally fun and excellent.
I think a place to discuss some of the points we went over would be cool, and I wanted an excuse to post, for discussion with the other candidates who couldn't participate, a particular idea we came to a consensus on.
In debating how we could better accomodate new players as we attempt to make the community more accessible, we settled on...
Sticky and I are looking to pull together some headmin debates! Currently I am set up as the moderator also I'm going to be stringing this all together. It will be like the community meetings, it will all take place in a voice call. The only problem here is time zones. Candidates please let me know when you could do a debate in GMT and we will try to see if we can put together a time when people are awake and not working. Current idea is to pull questions straight from the forums in...
Who
im Naloac aka Lepi Mewtera Terry player and admin with occasional visits to American servers aka headmin for two terms before this one
What Before
1- Changing all servers to dynamic.
2- To continue to get more admin trainers + admin candidates.
3- To encourage giving certain players namely event runners the abilities to run their own custom events
4- I want our bans to be public.
5- I want to cut out inactive admins coming back to ban someone then going inactive again.
6-Split MRP into its own...
Yo what up its Goofball back at it again with another headmin election run
Things I will do as headmin(And work with the other headmins to accomplish, just in case any of you chucklefucks think about getting all smart in the replies):
Hold a vote on the fate of tramstation on the servers, the community will decide
Hold a vote on public bans(not just permabans), the community will decide
Hold a vote on whether or not to open a second non-MRP EU server so that we can have the same level of server...
Consider the situation: an admin makes an event with 10 participants. At the end, 5 people enjoyed the event while the other 5 hated it. Later, the admin repeats the event, complaints are made, but the admin keeps running the event, citing the people that enjoyed it
Was this a good event?
If not, would you ask the admin to stop?
What would be the criteria for the event to be considered a success?
An old old old version of our roleplay guidelines for sybil, from before i took over hosting the website/wiki (so i can't find it to quote), basically said something to the effect of All players should assume that every round is the first round they have ever seen a code blue, let alone any antags/enemies of the station .
I also remember it once suggested via ooc policy...
Wow, hugbug's running for an election what the fu- Get your eyes checked.
Hi, I'm Arcane, more specifically ArcaneMusic. I've been playing on /tg/ since around 2015, but I've been playing SS13 since about 2013 altogether. I played the game a LOT before I actually 'joined' the community (After I think I got banned for doing something stupid many many years ago), and then just kinda stuck around. And then I started to code. And then I got admined by Armhulen. And then I got more involved in some of the...
I've noticed a lot of minor to moderate ooc in ic recently, from both players and some admin shenanigans. Do you feel the need to clamp down on it, or do you think it doesn't matter enough or happens to rarely?
Here is what the rules and policies used to look like when I first took over hosting the webserver.
I think we need more retrospective looks back like this:
Rules
tl;dr
I don't want to read this!
There's a lot here, but the gist of the rules is roleplay takes priority. Don't metagame. Don't play to win. Don't be a jerk OOCly. If you don't understand what those words mean or you need more detail, read on!
Primary Policies
0. Admins may disregard any of these rules at their discretion when they...
For administrative measures, MSO has the ultimate authority. Typically he lets democracy do it's thing through the headmins, but every now and then we'll see some activity on his part to bring about some change. Recent/relevant ones which come to mind are Rule 11 and FNR rule 10.
Assuming you become headmin, how do you plan to work with MSO? Say he feels passionately that a change should occur and you disagree, how would you approach this? Vice versa too, you want a change which he disagrees with.
As a completely serious question, I just want to see what the candidates of the headmin election see /tg/ as - as a whole. What kind of name would you give to /tg/station if you HAD to rename it from '/tg/' station? Any answer works, but I'd like to hear your genuine opinion on what kind of name would represent the game and project as a whole to you.
As usual I'll try to keep this readable and focused on what I'd be doing outside of the usual headmin work I've done successfully in the past (in an alternate timeline obviously I've never been headmin before).
The Anarchy Server
My current pet project: A low rules server designed as a mixing pot for all the other servers to get some grief out or do wacky semi-antagonistic shit with lesser consequences. RP will be maintained and enforced at the /tg/ classic level but antagonistic behaviour will be much...
Mailbox, who?
Let's pretend that you don't know who I am. I am Gorbi Fritzl or Drinks-The-Boooze. Balding and duffel bag enjoyer.
What do you want done?
1. I would like to have some form of admin meetings so we can all get on the same page. if we just decide once every month or every two months where we can bring up concerns or snitch on shitters that are problematic
2. I would like to put the n-word under a filter or just outright ban the use. this is not the last bastion of free speech we are just...
Policy discussions. Code discussions. LRP. MRP. Investigating bugs on live servers. Training admins.
What For LRP?
Happy with LRP.
Good balance of SS13 moments & gameplay quality. Good admin quality across all LRP servers. No major concerns.
Continue poking dynamic configs for best gameplay.
What For MRP?
Coco implemented my idea (after asking me) for more MRPmin input into MRP policy debates.
Election promise achieved!...
One of the more frustrating points, certainly not exclusive to the lineup this year, is the idea that candidates dont seem to have any idea about what is going on in the MRP (or LRP for MRP-girls) world and thats supposedly fine.
As MRP becomes a more considerable portion of the community, especially with the opening of a european MRP server, im believing less and less in the idea that individuals are just going to pick a MRP-headmin lite to run that area when someone who does involve themselves with both...
- I play mainly on Manuel. You may know my as Joey Petunia, Smells-The-Roses, or a number of other flower based static names. I'm a shameless botany main.
- I also very actively admin on Manuel. I'd like to think i'm one of the more active manuel admins currently but I have no statistics to back it up so no point in bragging about it.
- You may also recognize me from the various videos I make on youtube, but I assure you that's not me, but my twin.
- I also code things sometimes....
The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing.
To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do . To return the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the...
Recently somebody asked me about setting up a role to ban people from voice chat on discord who were abusing it with mic spam or something along those lines.
This got me thinking. When should somebody who is abusing a tool be preventing from using that tool, and when should they instead be punished for not being able to avoid abusing the tool.
Be it appearance/job bans or discord mutes or something else.
This is slightly different from complimenting server bans with longer role bans, in that it's still...
Currently, the admin candidate process requires at majority headmin approval, or complete approval, decided each headmin term. My question to you all is, are you currently satisfied with the current system and standards we have for choosing candidates? If not, what would you change?
edit for an addition related question: also, what are *your* standards for a candidate? connections, hours played, notes, etc
Over the past term we saw the rise of the public ban list, restricted to permabans only, put up.
How do you feel about them? Do you think we've benefitted from publicizing players permanent bans? Do you have any thoughts on increasing the types of bans posted publicly?
As a new player who has been playing this game for around less than 3 months, I want to ask all all the candidates a question: How much will you have new players in mind when having decisions?
SS13 is a large, complex, obtuse game. A lot of the learning curve involves asking your coworkers how to do something. Add on top the widly out of date and unreliable wiki, the constantly updating nature of the game and the billion and one ways antagonists can mess with your round, actually learning the game can be...
Hello everyone, this is my attempt to become the first player non-admin Headmin! Sounds crazy, I know, but I have a clear goal in mind with this campaign, and I’ll make this work by working closely with the players themselves. I play the character of Lukas Beedell, HOS main on terry. I think it’s finally time for a player who’s embedded into the community to have a chance to cause positive change. With this campaign, I will work to improve the gameplay...
I really like this question last election because it acts as a good litmus test for ideal headmins. If you cant fill it out, consider your decisions.
Posts should be fairly simple
For each promise/claim/ideal you have in your headmin campaign, describe a post/thread/etc. where you made an attempt to push it through before elections began . If you did a similar activity on your main thread then just say so and save us the scroll bar.
Things such as links and screenshots to provide validity to your...
As it stands right now, this is the wording of rule 11:
Bigotry is not allowed.
Intentionally seeking to demean others due to their actual or perceived race, sex, gender, orientation or the like is not tolerated.
It is not our goal to create or enforce a list of banned words and instead our goal to eject bigotry from the community. Enforcement will be less PC based and more common sense based with that goal in mind.
The above rule applies to ALL OOC bigotry, even when expressed in IC. There is no racism...
Who are you, what do you want from me?
I play and admin both on tg and tgmc, and have too many hours in both. Used to play on Bagil when it still had pop, now I'm on Sybil most of the time.
What do you actually do?
Most of my time not playing the atmospherics calculator is spent making maps and running events for it, and if memory serves a list of a few of the things I have done is in my forum signature.
What am I going to do?
I don't have any particularly strong opinions on any of the policy...
Would you support a Missed Ahelps board, or something similar to it? I proposed this concept back when I first became a headmin and got veto'd, but I still think it's a worthy idea to consider and invite you to.
If you're not familiar with the idea, read on:
Non-headmins often aren't privy to the fact that ban requests still kind of exist, just in a really shitty form: Players must PM the headmins directly to inform them of in-game grief that took place when no admins were around. For example, if somebody...
What is Medium Roleplay?
/tg/station classic roleplay standards have oft been defined as the bare minimum effort to play a character in a space-adjacent setting. In catering to our roleplay-oriented audience, great groundwork has been laid in setting out a more roleplay oriented space with the advent of our Medium Roleplaying Server Manuel and the Roleplaying Rules as defined on the forums. As it stands, Medium Roleplay is loosely defined and can be summarised as: light enforcement of the chain of...
