/tg/Station 13

There's been some fairly heated debate on both github and the forums about this, and in light of the recent PR opened at oranges request, the headmin team has agreed that we are going to disable felinids/catpeople as a roundstart race on Sybil

We decided to do this because we're not content with the way that the poll for the codebase side has been handled, the reasons include:
This action isn't intended to ignore the opinions of either side. I do understand the views of people who voted "No", even if I disagree with them personally, but this was carried out in the worst possible manner in my own opinion.

Oranges stated reason for the poll/PR (that the issue remains divisive and creates headaches for maintainers) is understandable but not solved by this kind of polling on it again or trying to ram through removals.

If I ran this poll again next week, we'd almost certainly get a different result, and similarly if I ran it again the week after, and again and again, until the poll would (eventually) come back empty simply out of pure fatigue.

You cannot get to a definitive answer that will satisfy people on a divisive issue by re-polling on this stuff. If this removal goes ahead, we'd be back here in a year or less polling on reimplementing felinids, whether as a result of agitation on the repository or due to it becoming a politicized issue in headmin elections.

The reason the headmin team hadn't made a statement before now on this was due to not wanting to add fuel to the fire on what might have been a "prank", similar to ones that oranges has carried out on several occasions in the past, both on this and other topics. The statement of intent by oranges motivated us to make our view and intent known.

I understand there will be disappointment and even anger at this statement, and I apologize for the uncertainty this situation has created for players of /tg/. I wish I didn't have to write out 500 odd words on a racial choice in a 2D atmos simulator, but here we are.

It wouldn't create as many headaches for maintainers if he stopped entertaining removal PRs. It seems like a fair decision to me. Felinid haters have a server and people who play felinids or don't mind them have a server.

Implying this will stop their removal

Yeah, this config change will probably only be around for eight more hours but whatever.

We had a long period of deliberation on this. We don't want want to disrespect either side of the vote, but we also don't agree with a complete removal when the vote margin is so close.
Some would say that this is a codebase issue only, but this affects the serverside configs (which oranges has bypassed with the removal), so it does concern us.
This is our solution. It's how it was a year ago and it worked fine, I don't expect it to be any different this time around.

>making a feature toggle-able in the config magically makes it untouchable by coders
good joke

still not good enough imo.

also codebase is seperate so if felinids are removed we dont bypass shit because we made configs to begin with.

This 100%. That's like saying that the removal of a map from the codebase is "subverting the config" because you are removing the map instead of toggling it in the config. Same with gamemodes in rotation iirc.

wow good job you did the EXACT same thing that happened 2 headmin terms ago

Last term we unified the configs and now it's been reverted.
reeeee

Also imagine causing this much drama over a few pixels.

I think my compromise is a good one. Catpeople get removed in return for goofballs martyrdom and he never touches /tg/ again. It's a good trade.

i've got a better idea how about we gitban goofball and KEEP him gitbanned because every time he doesn't get his way he throws a PR shitfit

goof didnt make any of the PRs why are you all so miffed about goof

goof even told people to fuck off on felinid removal PRs because we created a special rule to stop removal drama.

I feel like this is the most sane option.

This is how it was a year ago.

"we"

This is likely the best compromise we can get at this time.

Catpeople are nonetheless going to remain a major source of contention within the community so long as they are in as a round start species. If the last two years have been any indication.

I'm also concerned that this config change can be easily reverted in half a year or longer. Rendering this decision a moot point. No decision is permanent.

people in venezuela argue about whether or not they should keep their dysfunctional economic system
people in britain argue whether or not they should leave the EU
people on tgstation argue whether or not the game they play should be nekopara vol. 13

SERVER WARS GO GO GO (NO NO NO)

forking it and becoming a downstream is also an option yes :^)

The people complaining won't stop complaining until theyre removed no matter how many concessions are made unfortunately due to their raging autism but I'd bet the people for it would move on in a month. If you're actually advocating for all this stupid shit to cease getting rid of them is the fastest way to do it.

The argument of it being a few cosmetic pixels goes both ways, are they really worth all this trouble and arguing?

Edit: not to mention undoing previous headmins work on unifying config for the sake of a half measure

You are as bad as anyone. I don't think you even fucking smelled what they said. If you did read it you might be slightly offended but see it is reasonable and brings up at least one new point. You have no point. The best point I can get out of this is that you actually want catgirls and you're trying to look stupid on purpose.

honestly please do make terrastation it sounds like heaven. oranges wouldnt lose much leverage at any point here and if anything only get more

That doesn’t make much sense.

The majority of people voted to disable cats. Why are you forcing the majority to switch servers? Bagil is always med-high pop, as such I’d assume the majority of votes for disabling cats stemmed from Bagil.

If you’re gonna turn cats off on only one server, it should be bagil. This looks like catmins way of getting what they want, regardless of what the majority of the community wants.

Majority by one vote, soda. No matter what server is chosen, half of the playerbase will go to sybil.

you say majority like it wasn't literally on the line with it being almost being a 50/50 split.

Double post but different topic

Shezza I was in your cat discord for 5 minutes, and as degenerate as some of the shit I saw in there was, the thing that most interested me (aside from the headmin(s?) and admins in there) was a certain coder giving you the code base for a cat server.

Don’t kid yourself, you know that won’t get off the ground, ever. Especially considering there’s no motivation for it anymore.

then make that the cat players

edit: also some people that voted yes are human players voting for their friends so they might not even switch.

i mean do whaterever you want with "yoyr" code but lol @ taking this stance when this shit's been poleld like 2 (3?) times before and was a decisive vote in the other direction, and now it passes by one single vote because someone in your camp decided to engineer more drama about it

seems like every single time shit like this happens its because people are engineering drama about it and using their engineered drama to point and say "look at all the strife and probles mti causes!!"

lol mayvbe you should follow your own advice and have a fucking spine. just say you're nixing it because you don't like it and the poll was a convenient excuse. don't fault them for not following democracy when it was obvious this was never going to come down to democracy because any time the poll ends in favor of the feature it just resets the clock to the next vote.

fucking baby.

back to /d/ with you

Sawrge makes a point, I suppose.

Sadly, I only know him as the guy who spams meteors.

I can not take his opinion on anything, especially the thing he admin abused for because he thought it was dumb, as a valid opinion because of this now.
