server), because it's not my wish to alienate any groups of players if I can help it. We want the server to not take itself too seriously. We want good roleplay but also fun. However, good clowns have been a rarity for the server. For most, they have been a constant source of low roleplay, validhunting, grief-like behavior, and the like for the server. In fact, whenever I have to bap clowns, I often see players defending them, saying that that's how clowns are. If that is how clowns are played and it comes to odd with the server rules as some of you folks pointed out, they do not have a place in the server. As a result, they have been removed.We are looking into a few possible paths for this, but one thing is for certain: we will not be maintaining the status quo when it comes to clowns. We will possibly either A) replace them with a role that is more fitting, i.e. a corporate mascot. B) implement a comprehensive whitelisting system that may be used for additional off-station roles. C) Implement a playtime requirement of perhaps 300+ or 500+ hours. We have experimented with 100+ hours of required playtime before, and that has not been too effective unfortunately. Now if you have any certain preference, you may let me know in DMs. We may possibly combine A and B together, but also see about making the role more versatile rather than just being a "clown".
