Skorvold's Headmin Thread

Post by Skorvold » #115775

Hi. You know me as Skorvold, long time GameAdmin who recently came back after a short break. I was getting burnt out on the game before, but I came back with a fresh perspective and better attitude on things. I'm not looking to change much right off the bat, as I prefer to take things on as they become an issue. That being said, I am open to player concerns as well, and I enjoy talking to people about the game/problems with the game at any time. Should anyone ever feel that they have a concern, I will always be willing to listen.

How do you feel about the HOT TOPIC of the day, the deletion of a headmin thread by forum nazi Jordie?

Feelings about the recent talk of AI/secborg removal/silicon nerfs?

Feelings about armour changes?

What weightings would you assign game modes? Doesn't have to be precise numbers but a general high/mid/low is nice.

Questions!

-What is the biggest policy change you would enact if it were your, and only your decision?

-Coderbus, should it be a seperate entity? does it abuse that priciple? got any plans with that?

-What is your position on Security executions? (Head permission only, current setup act like antag treated like antag, admin permission only, etc etc)

-Does security need tighter rules or looser rules than they currently are?

-Do you have any plans for forum moderation? In your opinion is it excessive? or is it too forgiving?

-Do you liek mudkip?

-What do you think you are most well known for historically in this community? (Kor melted the bible, Sticky rampaged with mag boots in no grav, anon3 shat himself and cried on youtube something like that.)

-If you had to unperma one person from the blacklist who would it be? (Examples terbs, beardbeard, kavaloosh, etc etc)
and why that person?

-If not you, who would you vote for, assuming one vote?

RIP ascii dick.

Feelings about the recent talk of AI/secborg removal/silicon nerfs?
I don't care for it much. I've always seen silicon roles as getting a lot of unnecessary positive code attention. I don't necessarily like the idea of secborg removal, and the addition of telebatons to all borgs will be..controversial.

Feelings about armour changes?
Neutral. It hasn't effected me much!

What weightings would you assign game modes?
Traitor-Low I feel it isn't worthy of its own gamemode, and should be operated as a very common side antagonist.
Changeling-Low Not a popular gamemode, very slow to some players.
Double Agent-High People love this, and I can see why, it's frantic and nerve fraying.
Nuke-Low Great gamemode, better in small doses.
Revolution-Med See nuke.
Gang-Low See rev.
Cult-Low A shell of itself, rev-lite.
Wizard-Low Great like Rev and Nuke, but better off being even lower than they are.
Blob-Low
Malf-Low Nobody likes this, entirely dependent on one person dictating if it's fun or not.
Extended-Low
That's all we have in rotation, I think.

You remembered extended! But if you got burnt out last time you were a normal admin, how can we be sure you won't pull a HG and go inactive as headmin?

Also, questions:

- What would you not like to see happen if you're elected?

- What do you offer compared to other candidates (at present, goof and the ASCII penis)?

- How do you feel about escalation of force as Security? What's acceptable, what isn't?

- Where did your name come from?

- If you had to choose any current admin to deadmin, who would it be and why?

- What's your opinion on Ian and Runtime?

- How restrictive should the rules be regarding non-antagonists and crime?

- If you could revert any one recent feature, what would it be and why?

I'm not sure to be honest, but if I could change one thing about the game, I would start the AI out with corporate.

-Coderbus, should it be a separate entity? does it abuse that principle? got any plans with that?
Never had any personal problems with coderbus, they're fine as a whole and generally don't abuse the "separate entity" stuff. Individual members are the only problem.
-What is your position on Security executions?
Fine as is, seems like what we have is great.

-Does security need tighter rules or looser rules than they currently are?
Security is doing pretty fine as is, and I really wouldn't change anything about them.

-Do you have any plans for forum moderation? In your opinion is it excessive? or is it too forgiving?
I don't pay much attention to forum moderation, we have singulo, if you're afraid that your opinion is being snuffed out here you can always talk there too.

-Do you liek mudkip?
Yeesh. I haven't heard that in forever.

-What do you think you are most well known for historically in this community?
Avatarfagging on Singulo, causing people to call me a furry. ERP logs too probably.

-If you had to unperma one person from the blacklist who would it be?Terbs.
and why that person? He's not so bad, I mean, he's really not that bad compared to others on the list.

-If not you, who would you vote for, assuming one vote?
Let me get back to you on this after more candidates make threads.

When I quit I was just tired, I was dragging something out that I should not have and I should have taken a longer break earlier. I can only give you my word that I won't hop out half way.

- What would you not like to see happen if you're elected?
Just in general? The host leaving, the headmin team not working out.

- What do you offer compared to other candidates (at present, goof and the ASCII penis)?
Understanding. I've been everything from a greytider to a HoS.

- How do you feel about escalation of force as Security? What's acceptable, what isn't?
What you receive you can return, if someone is an obvious murderer (like esword+noslip tier shit) just going on a rampage then give them their own medicine. If someone is giving you a hard time, like an assistant following you around, disarming you constantly while you make arrests, then put him away for good if he doesn't stop after lesser punishments.

- Where did your name come from?
A Warhammer 40k minor villain in the first Souldrinkers book.

- If you had to choose any current admin to deadmin, who would it be and why?
Nobody right now, we've been keeping the list clean.

- What's your opinion on Ian and Runtime?
Dumb pets that have caused a lot of unnecessary player deaths and conflicts.

- How restrictive should the rules be regarding non-antagonists and crime?
They should be loose, committing crime is part of the game.

- If you could revert any one recent feature, what would it be and why?
Weapon overlays that show up when you hit someone.

There have been rumours of your extremely hostile relationship with ascii penis.

If the two of you were elected into the same triumvirate, would you be able to put aside your differences and work with them?

Of course, though to be honest the hostility is more on his side than on mine.

This is the kind of attitude that makes me think you're the one starting shit to be honest.

You had me up until this

I don't want to derail the entire thread to argue about a lawset but why in god's name would you want one of the most grief-enabling lawsets to be the default? ";ddd u r 2 costly 2 keep aliv"

What do you think about antag security?

Antag sec is pretty shit even when looking at it with antagonist nostalgia goggles. In reality, the only thing that should be able to infiltrate Sec should be a changeling.

Actually a good candidate for headmin.

He's got a good moral compass and a fairly professional attitude.
