Portal to the past II

Post by vect0r » #674061

Hello again. This week, I am going to be posting everyday. Is this because I found some fun threads? Maybe...
Anyway, I would like you to set your eyes on a policy thread with...
266 posts.
6 pages.
Started by Horny Granny.
I would like you to set your eyes on: viewtopic.php?f=85&t=2253. The ERP banning policy thread.
Some highlights:
We are banning ERP and sexual content on a trial basis.
We don't know the extent of this, if it even applies to winks, kisses, mimes, luck, Ian, lizards, the librarian, comments, innuendo, sexual encounters, erin or even the alien rounds. So. at the very least, if we are going to get a new policy set up, even if the policy itself was voted down into the oblivion every time, we need clarifications, otherwise, I feel this is just a "Ban free" card for any admin that has a grudge on a player.
Last Round I played I saw Erin Wake dressed as an school girl mime being chased by a virologist in full bio suit, those kind of things are the ones I want to protect. The logs themselves are only useful to point and laugh to fenex.
Wait so let me get this straight.

You can kill people in the game, that's fine. One could argue that it's the actual driving force of the game, to have antagonists who mainly murder people.

But you can't kiss people? That's now bannable, we don't want to see that stuff?

Man this is some silly shit. I've never erped, I've only seen it few times. But I've heard shitloads of people on the forums getting offended by this behavior (which, btw lead to your birth and is the most natural thing in the world to every species). I was proud before to see other servers ban erp and us, tg-style was nice smooth sailing "erp? whatever, man, people can love, we don't care". But now we're just like the other hypocrites in their murdering people but suddenly getting all scared if someone has play-sex.

People who were behind this decision, you have a twisted way of seeing the world.
Have fun with this one!

I understand the people that didnt want erp banned just to dunk on erpers because its always fun to do, but ERP being allowed is like liquid sharting in a spray bottle and spraying it around your house (which in this case is tgstation)
edit: holy shit people are DENSE, how hard is it to understand what erp means?


hall of fame posts from the thread
Tgstation is a RP server, meaning that you're supposed to simulate social interaction with the other players. Sex is just a social interaction, it's not something you should be disgusted or afraid of. I agree that silently running to the dorms with your metafriend and going to town isn't really RP and you could just move to a chatroom, but I don't see anything wrong with two people roleplaying their attraction in the game context and eventually evolve to the physical stage.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

really stupid rule

you should only ban for things that are harmful

ERP harmful how ??????

nobody's explained how this is some uncontrollable plague ruining the round or game for many players?

you have the rules against rape and being an irresponsible leadership position (head whatever) so how is this a problem

i don't even understand why anyone would bother making this rule. by making it you're creating more strife than you're solving (which is none btw)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As announced in game, I will start to ignore this policy starting 16/12/2014 17 East time if not one of the head admins that made the rulling clarifies my questions, This doesn't means I will inmediatly go and ERP, I haven't since I created this account, I doubt I will, but I won't held the policy in between of my freedom to roleplay any good damn I want to in a roleplaying game. I will of course, follow all of the other rules that had been presented in a concise and complete way, like the antagonist mass murderboning set by SoS was and all the other rules presented so far.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for replying Anon, this was getting ridiculous, but, this is really sad, for two reasons.

First, and foremost, it's really sad that after five pages, I had to set down a clock and scream defiance to make anyone react, I believed headmins were selected to deffuse shit like this.

second, what is it to you if I was using spessmen as surrogate for real life affection with real people? you don't know the circumstances of most if any of the people that play, much less the feelings of said people, otherwise you wouldn't had said something as hurtful and toxic as you just said.

Please remember that we are all fucking human beings, every one of the players you have right now playing in your server, and every admin too.

What you just said hurt me, not becouse you banned ERP, fuck it, let me tell you something, I don't give a flying fuck about it. I just don't want to miss more great players, we already lost Tokiko thanks to the artyom drama, now we are probably miss a good chunk too, becouse, let's face it, it doesn't hurt the game, as many had pointed out before in this thread, it even expands it.

I will continue to obey the rules, as you came before the set time, but, I will probably leave the day all the great people that play here leave, I just don't give a fuck about the adminconspiracy, the map, the pulls, the merges, I just fell in love with the players.

And I think you are making a wrong choice here, please remember that while this is indeed your server, this is our game as well, Yours, mine, theirs, this will break the server again if you don't do something about it.

Also, sorry Fenex, but it looks you will be the last great Erper.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think I got the solution for this while the ban is in effect, erpers could use a tinychat link and that would create a temporal chatroom. It also has a logs feature so Iteq could still collect the logs. Would that be okay?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tgstation isn't all about killing people and completing objectives, it's more a game of cunning and manipulation, and guess what, nothing has more manipulative potential than sex. You remove sex, you remove an important and interesting side of roleplay that adds something to the game. Roleplaying taking a shit adds nothing to the game.

Seeing all the people lost to time, their posts perfectly preserved...it is something of a surreal experience, isn't it? They were being busybodies, probably not thinking about their imprint they would leave behind a decade later.
Makes me almost feel like we're historians, reviewing ancient romans drawing penis graffitis on a wall and reminiscing about what life was like back then.

It makes me wonder about why they never returned. Makes me wonder, will I one day also be one of the many faces lost to time?

Many people move on, get children, lose interest. It is part of life, like your time in high school ending and suddenly not meeting your friends anymore. I miss many people already in only 4 years of playing, (some examples are tumesuo, tceo or pugie, tumesuo lost interest presumably, tceo turned out to be anti woke or smth and isolated himself to Merchantstation and pugie got himself banned in an act of martyrdom (he was losing interest anyways but he took it to the extreme)) again losing contact with people is just part of life
Personally i have a hard time coping with these goodbyes but the feeling of loneliness will be over soon once you meet new people

In 2060, when the /TG/ Station project has gained more traction attributed to some sociogreebles made by some future headmin terms. Madmen and sociopaths who take the utmost joy in the same time honored tradition of engaging in high level discourse surrounding the policy of 2d spacemans will look back on the forums renaissance of 2023 as the capstone of the "hutless stretch". The players club will serve as the most contingent cache of peanuts they would have access to until someone gets bored in 2028 and compiles a torrent of the hut from 2028 to 2031. The release of such data will be controversial and whomever is responsible will be burnt at the stake.
Anyways its not like these people are dead, they probably wonder why anyone would still engage in forum discussions when there's a /TG/station discord server to chat in if they ever check in again.

Fucking with people who ERPed was funny but not in a way that, in retrospect, would probably be healthy for the server in the long term.

But turning a dozen ghosts into simplemob cats and releasing them into a dorm or turning the wall of the librarian's study into glass remain some of my favorite stupid memories.

There is one reason and one reason alone why it is a good thing TG banned ERP. It isn’t because WUH WOH DA SPACEMAN IS TALKING ABOUT COCK AND SEX IN DORMS 4 AAAA MY VIRGIN GHOST EARS!! It isn’t because B-BUT PEOPLE WILL BE TOO HORNY TO ENGAGE WITH THE EPIG VALIDHUNT AMOGUS RP THIS GAME THRIVES ON NO. It’s for one reason and one reason alone: Metasex e-drama.

The most “drama” on LRP servers is some powergamer ruining your antag round or >:( you done lost to the big bad traitor! Skill issue smh my head! Yeah well what if the kobold cap static hasn’t spoken to you IC in 3 months because you fucked his felinid blueshield without getting LOOC approval from him first? What then? If you thought metafriending was bad imagine SEX SOCIAL STRUCTURES and the degenerate highschool tier e-drama that would ensue. It would totally fuck with the entire dynamic of the game and drive it to ruin.

I haven't had an opportunity to let Safe Sex Corgi out of his cage in recent memory. Most of our rule 8 bans have been for people acting creepy/weird and not actual ERP.

This is kind of correct, though IIRC the reason we banned it was because we either "allow it and ID check everyone" or "don't and honor system everyone as over 18 unless they do something really stupid". It was decided the latter was better for logistical reasons and also because /tg/ really wasn't the place for that kind of thing to begin with.

The decided lack of in-character relationship drama is more because our server is less RP centric than places like Skyrat or Citadel, where characters can have ongoing stories across multiple rounds. It's hard for e-drama dumbassery to kick in when you get partially mind-wiped every round.

It's definitely a positive, though!

I haven't had an opportunity to let Safe Sex Corgi out of his cage in recent memory. Most of our rule 8 bans have been for people acting creepy/weird and not actual ERP.
Just out of curiosity what lays in the centre of the venn diagram between "allowed by rule 8" and "requires Ian the Safe Sex Corgi"?

i've seen entire mmorpg guilds collapse over who is cybersexing the guild slut during raids when some rube accidently sends his awkward description of penis girth in raidchat

a lot of guys felt betrayed the guild slut wasnt exclusive with them. a lot more felt betrayed when i kicked the guild slut for posting movie spoilers in guild chat and calling me a faggot when i told her not to do that. then they said they would quit and make a NEW guild where they could all cybersex the guild slut unless i let her back in.

they didnt get any good raid gear after that cuz they were too busy cybersexing.

ah, the mid 2000s

People running around talking about wanting to do reprehensible things to other crewmembers or threatening to do said things. Stuff that goes past "being a joke" and just ends up being super creepy.

Ian the Safe Sex Corgi is a gimmick we came up with back when ERP scenes happened relatively often enough to warrant using it. It's fairly self-explanatory - we spawn in a corgi, give it sentience, then tell them to espouse the importance of safe sex to the ERPers in order to ruin the mood. It usually just ended up in the perpetrators feeling fairly embarrassed and leaving, but I did have at least one instance where someone desperately tried to kill the corgi (which had god mode, natch) and that was actually really damn funny.

It doesn't come up much anymore because most of the people who ERP have found places like Citadel to do it on instead of on our servers.
