[Oldman Robustin]

Bottom post of the previous page:

If any admin does that to you just tell them you did it because of the command report/security level alert thing.

If it had gotten to the point where Brotemis was stalking me, looking for reasons to mess with me, do you really think "but Code Blue" was persuasive to him? I also told him that I felt the insulated gloves were the best choice to match the blue/gold trimming of my armor. The problem is that he even bothered to BWOINK me in the first place over such trivial stuff.

I had to either involve a headmin or make a forum post, I don't recall, just to verify that casually backing up your DNA isn't bannable powergayman. Either way I got it resolved, but it's his attitude that concerns me.

One of the upsides of playing lately is I don't feel like I'm looking over my shoulder while I play anymore. I can simply ask "Is this against the rules?" when I'm considering doing something instead of "Could Brotemis use this as a pretense to ban me?"

To be fair Captains with insulated gloves should be WGW-tier valid.

[Falamazeer]

Are their captains gloves not insulated anymore?

Also, Pls don't start making rulings on powergaming in the style of your escalation and sec execution policies.
If you do it will be literately not figuratively why we can't have nice things.

As Oldman said, this happened before they were insulated.

And, I don't think any powergaming rules actually exist. That must have been Brotemis being a shit, if Oldman's account is accurate.

Only really powergamey rule I can think of was back when you could determine round start by trying to call the shuttle.
And that might be more meta than powergamey really

People couldn't distinguish between powergayman and metagayman, so they just called behavior both, along with a pretty big category of behavior that is neither.

Some retards spread the idea that crew show up at the station like a bunch of fucking amnesiac toddlers who aren't allowed to have any survival skills, station knowledge, or antag knowledge - especially when playing captain or security.

That philosophy largely died out, thank god.

Brotemis and Scones have returned to the admin team as trial admins.

Sawrge has been denied re-admittance. We appreciate his time as an admin and thank him for his service.

Anything else here needs to be discussed as a policy thread or in Brotemis' feedback thread.
