Advertising future events was greenlit via policy discussion like a year back by timer + moff + some other coder headmin team. So any player can set up and advertise an event if they desire. I ran a few events like this but due to my time be taken up by other stuff and me being creatively bankrupt on new event ideas it was delayed. But the time is now Also Sorry EU players no events for you as our time zones dont match .

Yaaas. More of that. Player led events are dope.

Thanks Conrad! And it should be mentioned, these events are only possible due to the extreme leniency, love, and support from our gracious adminteam of which you are a part!
I too love it when players come together and really make something beautiful. It's like, "YES!" "YES!" "ROLEPLAY!" Haha!
Sending positive vibes your way

Love,

Thanks for the kind words. I do try my best.

we're absolutely forcing extended during this round and i think we should straight up permaban whoever tries to grief it
for extra security i'd run it in a separate area so even if someone tries something they won't get far

PRT (painter response team) guards with dsquad armor and pulse rifles stationed outside to protect the integrity of the painters

could you imagine how cute a dsquaddie would look painting on his lil canvas

why not just run it on the event server

that's... why we have an event server

Cuz am not a key holder and that would require me to go through the loops to get access to it. Also having it run on live server includes the people who are just on and playing and don't read the forums

its not for another three weeks! get the keys! advertise!

And I don't think its going to get griefed, we had a xeno queen join the costume contest and when I did the weekly paint club all that happened was some chemist putting ice on the flow and maybe it was boomed on one of the weeks. Other than that everything went pretty good.

Also I think giving antags the ability to interact with it can be interesting as long as they don't blow it up or do some lame ass shit like that. Imagien how funny it would be if a clown walked up to the judges table and show their painting of them killing us then pulling out the glock and doing it.

it’s way better to do it on sybil, you’ll have a much bigger turnout

Can’t lie, I read this as a pain contest at first. Damn

THE RULES

NO USING THE PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS YOU TO PAINT ANY IMAGE IN GAME FLAWLESSLY

...

got it

making a program that paints horribly instead

WHAT TIMEZONE IS IT ON? It doesn't even say! Or am I blind? I might be blind.

If some nice person can translate it to nz time I would be happy yes.

I agree it doesnt say timezone. If it's a timzeone I'm around in I'm happy to supervise it being a SAFE event

WHEN? JUNE 2ND THE FIRST ROUND START AFTER 8PM!

Please specify UTC time zone. Is it 8pm UTC+0/UTC+5/UTC+8?

Most people will be able to track it to their local times given the UTC zone.

Time zone has been added its in EST

without naming any names i've personally seen an art club event explosive grenaded by a cow that moos and when called out by others OOCly for being lame he was only focused on how "I did nothing wrong. I was an antag! An antag!!" People will 200% try to ruin it.

If you want to counter at least the lazy "my fun is the only fun allowed" types, steps like bag checks at the entrance of the bolted library, people patrolling the outer area, and (god forbid) ordering bomb suit crates in bulk so if they bomb from the outer radius the participants will at least survive. I think forcing extended would just mean admins would have to deal with the typical "oh it's a green shift gotta end this asap" types.

i'll stay adminned and very simply warn people that they will be getting rule 1 bans if they interfere

based intern killer wubli laying down the law

pretty wild that even after the guy hosting the event says they are ok with antags interfering that admins can just come in and say "no this is my event now no fun allowed".

If you just max cap the event then I will turn a blind eye to your smiting by the powers that be. But you are funny with it then am I hope gods are merciful. Regardless of my personally views I cant really do much if an admin wants to enforce rules during the time of the event differently.

Also if the event gets griefed or if war ops pull up then am fine with running it back the following round like the last 2 events

remove my name from your signature if you will never say anything good ever what the fuck do you mean by "no fun allowed" i specifically want to protect those who participate
clearly when i say interfere i mean ruin it, bombing or whatever just for the sake of being an asshole about it. if nuke ops happened its up to shellton but it'd be diferent than bombing or chem grenading the place where everyone is working hard
it wouldn't be so fun for people who participate to spend 30-40 minutes on a painting and have someone destroy it and cancel the event, wouldn't it

Man it would suck ass to get antag only to have to play on eggshells or catch a rule 1 ban for "interfering". If you want to take all the chaos out of the game for the sake of the event then by all means force a white-shift but don't get mad when people say you're killing the fun.

Just because you told me to and didn't ask I'm gonna go with no. My DMs are always open tho

you're telling me you can't have fun as an antag if you don't bomb one player-run fun event one specific night? are there no other ways of having fun? can you like, bomb anywhere else? do you really believe it wouldn't be the tiniest bit dickish to specifically target the contest?

Let me run this by you ok. Lets say I am an antag and I have a target that is not engaging in paint club. I try to kill them but they stagger into the library bleeding out. I run in there to finish the job. Now I would think that I would get dog piled there but lets say that I manage to make it out alive. Should I as the antag worry about getting bwoinked for interfering?

What if my target is engaging in the paint club? Am I allowed to use a flash bang to keep everyone from looking? Smoke nade? Tear gas? Am I supposed to wait until after the event is over to take out my target?

What if I as XxSuperGamerxX manage to cause enough mayhem outside the library. SM has delammed, medical has been bombed, sci server's c4'd and any secoff outside of there is dead all in like 20 minutes. Shuttle is probably gonna be called by then so am I gonna get a chat with you or are you just gonna recall the shuttle?


I don't expect answers for these because these are really hard situations. My point here is that you are gonna open the door to these situations by saying "rule 1 for interfering". AFAIK paint club has been fine without this kind of meta-protection, has it been griefed? Yes. They just run it back the next round or the round after that.

Doublepost for brainblast. What if the nuke ops showed up to enter the painting contest won the nuke disk that'd be sick as shit. What if Xenos broke out only to join in on the painting, can they even paint?

(etc)
the fact you have to look for specific scenarios to make me sound unreasonable is ignoring my point of "you can have fun without specifically ruining the event" which is very different to "under no circumstance should you even step into the library even if your objective is there". it has happened in the past that people griefed the paint club simply because they wanted to ruin it for everyone else and not because of any objectives, just like some people were killed BECAUSE of objectives in there. no one got banned. i came in here to say "i think it'd be really shitty if you specifically target the event" and you're going off on me. you even said that i was trying to "ruin the fun". man, what's with the unnecessary hostility? just like you're assuming good faith from antagonists, why can't you assume good faith from what i'm saying?

see above. i think it'd fucking rule if nuke ops participated, i just don't think it'll rule if the antag atmos technician decided to specifically, just for the sake of it, plasma fire the library. are my intentions clear enough or will you still think i'm just evil and trying to ruin antags' life

You arn't saying it would be shitty if people did x. You are saying that you play on staying admin'd so you can ban people who interfere with the event. Those were your words not mine. When you say that in response to a post about an antag bombing paint club it sounds alot like you don't just think it would be shitty but you are planning for banning people for being shitty. Don't pretend like it was just "i think it'd be really shitty if you specifically target the event". That's a lie. The reason why I am having a hard time engaging in good faith is because when I respond to what you say you pretend like you weren't saying that.

But what about people who don't read the forums and think this is a normal shift?

It will be very clear something is happening because I will make an announcement, name the station paint contest and right now when I hop on sybil I post my paintings in the halls.

Also if you dont want to paint but want to be apart of the event you can. This is an example of something you may do

you clearly want to believe the worst from me and i'm not going to convince you otherwise because it's pointless. i've made several posts and we've derailed this thread because you simply refuse to consider that i don't want people to ruin it for the sake of ruining fun for others. i've made myself clear now and i don't think i need to explain it further. i'm not a trigger happy admin who wants an excuse to log in and ban people, so you don't have to worry about someone killing their objective and me permabanning them or something. i just thought we'd add a bit of meta protection so, like i said, an antag atmos tech won't see people having fun in the library and decide to plasma fire it destroying all the entries :}

Why are sybil players so fucking precious and entitled about ONE ROUND with a player event in it?

Sorry to those who didn't get their art judged, but it is what it is. Maybe we will run the event back soon tm

i think ur just jealouse kid.........................................................................................

This was so much fun! (even thought it ended badly.) Needs to happen again!

any event that doesnt end with a syndicate bomb is a failed one

i said it

Just host it on manuel if you don't want it bombed instead of giving the paint contest meta protections.

not one picture included

sadly i had to take off, i was hopeful i could sneak something in before i had to leave but i spent too long waffling
