Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
I don't think you're wrong but too often people complain that nothing is happening and that's because there's nobody willing to make things happen, get out there and be a menace
But don't confuse starting a conflict with cheap griefing, walking in the bar and smashing all the glasses without saying a word is not roleplay, there are many interesting ways to cause conflict that can be interesting for everyone involved. Maybe your character is not too fond of that lizard bartender who's handling your drink with their dirty claws, make some passive aggressive remarks about it and see what happens next
And if some metafriends gets mad in OOC, why should you care about someone who can't keep IC things IC? This is how you let them win and the problem festers

If you think that people are too nice, the problem is you.
Also, I can't go a day playing on Manuel without getting shot by a bald man yelling "LIGGERS" so I'm not sure if we're playing on the same server.

Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
The conflict and interesting scenerios you describe are made less authentic when every single character takes upon a benign and ambivalent behavior to everyone else no matter the circumstance (unless of course they just had their meta friend insulted, in which case there is still a solid 50% chance that they just call you mean in a cutesy sort of way before trying their hardest to escalate and round remove you.)BeansKidney wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 12:30 amI go in not knowing what to expect, that's part of the fun.

It is arguably a lesser roleplaying quality than LRP due to the vast amount of player who just use their static as a conduit for their own feelings and emotions out of game, which is much less immersive than the alternative.

MRP isn't ideal, but I wouldn't say that it's less prevalent on LRP where people don't focus on exploring their characters at all.Itseasytosee2me wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 1:02 am It is arguably a lesser roleplaying quality than LRP due to the vast amount of player who just use their static as a conduit for their own feelings and emotions out of game, which is much less immersive than the alternative.

I mean, what do you expect when you can get banned for pieing someone? Everyone plays looking back over their shoulder not because they're paranoid of their fellow spaceman, but because they're paranoid of getting in trouble for following the rules. Either be milquetoast or risk a ban if you interact with the wrong person.

Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
Manuel feels like the server that could use respawn in a productive way. Require you to respawn as a different character each time and hold them very strictly to the rp standard of manuel. Allowing respawns would help alleviate the big concern of round removing people from a server that typically has much longer round times. I want to play on Manuel more because the high RP standard is great, but I do not because things like mass sabotage are overly restricted for fear of round removing people.

The problem is not killing characters, but letting ghosts get back into the round. We have this with ghost antags, and those are really good for keeping the round going, but perhaps we need more to keep people in it.
Off the top of my head, perhaps an rouge escape pod from a nearby doomed ship random event which dumps some crewmates from station within the vicinity. Perhaps there's a chance one of these crewmates is a syndicate spy, or a changeling.
Something more dynamic than "Oh you just get a new character as if you had started from round start"

Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
I feel like MRP lends itself to a slightly more loose allowance for ghost roles interacting with station. Not like, "free golems spawn and join the station like greyshirts" but like, attempts to make contact with station, form trade relations, etc.Itseasytosee2me wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 6:19 pmYou are in the right line of thought I think.

Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
MRP can be a really good way to produce more interaction. Though, I tend to find that some players read the MRP rules as "wordlessly do your job the entire shift without talking to people and avoid all conflict." Sometimes good IC reasoning for little squabbles and scuffles makes a round fun! Would give security more to do that killing the 18+ traitors that Dynamic spawns every round.
Of course, being able to differentiate IC and OOC fights is important, and some people just can't do so, it needs to be a learned behaviour to just accept things in stride as IC. This post was a little scatterbrained; I have a lot of thoughts about MRP and people being overly nice.

Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
I've played almost exclusively medbay since returning (because apparently medical is way more interesting than it was several years ago) and I've had pretty pleasant experiences so far. Staff talks to staff, paras coordinate with MDs, people stay out of eachother's way or back off if they think they're getting in the way, patients describe their injuries. I've even seen MDs and patients having the "here bite on this stick, they didn't train me in anesthetic" bit. I'm sure that there are still plenty of cases where jobs are so engrossing that people just wordlessly go about their shifts, but that's people. I don't talk to anyone at my office job if I can help it either.

Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
I mostly play a chilled, helpful character on Manuel, usually assistant these days too. But I've also had my fair shair of fist-fights and been arrested a few times but almost always for IC interations and round dynamics- so I guess the level of friendliness and cooperations depends on the round and situation.
Yeah sure people will be chatting in the bar or sometimes wordlessly go about their shift doing whatever they have to do, but Manuel can turn pretty chaotic like any other server. Like anywhere else it depends on several factors such as the robustness of antags/security or if someone is pulling off a gimmick.

Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
I don't really think the problem is that people are too nice but that a lot of the structure of Manuel incentivizes people to play in fairly boring ways and makes more complex forms of roleplay/ character interactions harder to achieve. Which isn't to say people are unwilling to play/ engage with more rough and tumble characters and IC conflicts. I've had plenty of fun, memorable conflicts just playing off character dynamics with my fellow crewmates, but there's just not all that much push to do so and in some cases you're actively disincentivized from doing it.

People don't want to offend others, people don't want to make people dislike them OCC. Whenever one person is trying to kill another person they usually try to be funny to show that out of character they are not serious and don't dislike you. This sucks for immersion. The MRP rules certainly aren't helping.
If it helps MRP players, I give you permission to hate and be mean to any other character in-game, without hating them out of character. If you are concerned about it talk with them OCC after the round to make sure there are no hard feelings, and if there are it's their fault for not being able to separate game and reality.
So go out, be speciesist and petty. Mean spirited and paranoid. Insult someone and then throw their drink across the room when they insult you back. Demean a person missing a leg. Try to see characters, and not people behind screens.

Current headmins are pushing enforcement towards, "what would be a sane response IRL?" and IRL the sane response is to be nice and accepting, to de-escalate conflicts and avoid hostility at all costs. This is what most people do.
Issue is that on a game like spaceman this mentality sucks, like super mega sucks, and makes for boring snoozefests.

The issue with enforcing the “sane response” ideal, is that it is once again entirely up to the individual admin. What I consider “sane” you may consider “insane.” What Vekter considers “insane,” Scriptis may consider “sane,” and so on, until now you have a meaningless standard that simply enables individual admins to curate the environment how they personally prefer.
If the rules can’t point to a standard of behavior that’s discrete and defined, they are nothing more than moral handwaving in my opinion. Even IC, the “sane” response is often assumed to be the one that generates least conflict.

Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
I think an issue, at least for me, is that Manuel is quite packed. There are so many people on at once, and the server is near full much of the time.
When I play there, I'm often struggling with the sheer amount of overwhelm due to all the speaking and everything that is going on.
I think people were nice - but it was the kind of nice where it was like, "Sorry, I'm carrying 3 conversations at once, what's up?"
(It's very possible this is not the case for others.)
Other than that, in rp land, people sometimes just want to be comfy.
I think the nastiness you're looking for is certainly available on other servers - and I think some of the people on Manuel are looking for a reprieve from all that. It's tiring to hear, "Fuck lizards!!" for the 50586850576794856th time.
If you want some wild action and you get antag, come up with a gimmick that involves people (greentext be damned). You probably won't be shunned if your gimmick is something better than "Kill ALL the people!!" or "I am going to cause frustrating problems for everyone!!"
You could be a debt collector, or a wizard who is like "WOAH WHAT IS THIS NEWFANGLED TIME IM IN"
You could challenge someone to a duel, or pretend you're from the future, and you need to save [person] from dying (or perhaps even kill person) to save the timeline.
Use your imagination and you may find more fun. Mileage my vary depending on your skill in entertaining others.
When I play there, I'm often struggling with the sheer amount of overwhelm due to all the speaking and everything that is going on.
I think people were nice - but it was the kind of nice where it was like, "Sorry, I'm carrying 3 conversations at once, what's up?"
(It's very possible this is not the case for others.)

Re: Everyone on manual is so nice and accepting it gives me a fucking headache.
seeing this thread crop back up every now and then always makes me do a kind of :L face irl.
there is no way to take a single person's experience and extrapolate it out into a community defining analysis of that entire server. manuel, like any other tg server, is a huge mixing vat of different player types. sure, a certain type of person who's less interested in conflict will probably choose the server with more RP rules, but that extended ruleset is not so constricting that it replaces any trace of what makes other tg servers into tg.
i make sure to play my character in a way where they stand up for themselves and don't take shit from others. i get into fistfights and scuffles because sometimes i'm mean to people and sometimes i retaliate because others are mean to me. it's fun and allowed and even expected. we have gamers just like any other server. we have hugbox roleplayers just like any other server. it depends on who is on the manifest at that particular time, not which server it is. playing manuel at 1pm may as well be a different server entirely from manuel at 9pm. we have come a long way from the early manuel populated by traumatized ex-sybilites who balked at every antagonistic action because they wanted a protected space where the vile and nefarious shitters couldn't disrupt their autism fort projects. nowadays the only real difference to the average joe is how "restricted" antags are handled. otherwise there is plenty of chaos and fisticuffs to go around.
my own personal opinion is that i just like to let people vibe and do their thing within the broad stage afforded them by the rules. i am not and never will be interested in micromanaging player's contributions to the creative space. it's up to them what song and dance they do, not me.
these generalizations are just that: generalizations. they fall apart at the slightest scrutiny and are not worth putting stock in. if manuel is your block, then good! if you don't like it and prefer less RP and more terry gaming, good! i'm glad you're with us either way.

You really do sound like one of those players who looks for any justification to bash another dude's skull in, no wonder you're taking issue with Manuel.sinfulbliss wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2023 4:42 pmThat’s not my intention at all, it’s just what I’ve gathered from what’s been said.

This is what most people do.
Issue is that on a game like spaceman this mentality sucks, like super mega sucks, and makes for boring snoozefests.
The issue with enforcing the “sane response” ideal, is that it is once again entirely up to the individual admin. What I consider “sane” you may consider “insane.” What Vekter considers “insane,” Scriptis may consider “sane,” and so on, until now you have a meaningless standard that simply enables individual admins to curate the environment how they personally prefer.
If the rules can’t point to a standard of behavior that’s discrete and defined, they are nothing more than moral handwaving in my opinion. Even IC, the “sane” response is often assumed to be the one that generates least conflict.

It's a good thread because it's depicts the Manuel epoch about the time I stopped playing regularly.

Yesterday someone stole my shoes, so I punched them several times in the head. They called me rude and uncouth then we both went our separate ways and I stood on some glass and fell over.
This is the Manuel experience you're all missing out on.
I imagine on one of the LRP servers I'd have shanked them and ended up in Perma.
