Why do people hate being an antagonist on mrp?

[Longestarmlonglaw]

With IMMENSE discussion regarding friendtagging in the policy discussion section, i must ask yall.

Why do people hate being an antagonist on mrp?

I treat my antagonist status as a license to fuck with the crew and do many things that would normally not be allowed, such as making my own custom AI law set that kills people based on a vote, Build turrets with hellfire lasers and emag them, Poison people and watch as they scream and cry that they're going to die of amanitin, and all around get people to escalate in armament, whether it be researching weapon tech, getting guns at cargo, or carrying a stunbaton. Or the overdone joke of emagging a recycler.

You, as an antagonist are empowered to make living on a space station more dangerous, why are people throwing it away?

[kinnebian]

what are these questions?

[conrad]

They really don't. They're just shit at being antags.

[Lacran]

It's not about hating being an antag, it's just that Manuel culture prefers to try to talk first shoot later, which causes an unfortunate sidemeta of friendtagging allowing you to delay your murder spree until the crew have accommodated you and gotten bored enough to lower their guard.

[dirk_mcblade]

Loosened escalation rules are the fun part of rolling antag.

[Constellado]

A big chunk of crew play characters that are super friendly and kind normally, so when they get antag they have trouble changing how their character acts. Personally with me I prefer the sneaky beeky playstyle so nobody notices I am an antag. I do like to do engineer craziness though. Disposals cannon anybody?

When I am a heretic I like acting all evil. Friendly heretics are cringe. You are being mind manipulated by a forgotten god for God's sake.

Wait.. I am sensing.. a rant!

PEOPLE IN MANUEL STOP ASKING ME NICELY IF YOU WANT TO SACRIFICE ME I WILL SAY NO EVERY TIME THEN START GETTING STUFF TO DEFEND MYSELF. JUST BAIT ME SOMEWHERE THEN KILL ME SUDDENLY. IT'S A MUCH MORE INTERESTING EXPERIENCE THAN: "Hey... Want to be sacrificed? No? Ookay.. I will reroll it then!" CRINGEE. THAT HAS HAPPENED FAR TOO MANY TIMES. ITS MORE INTERESTING FOR ME TO HAVE A PERSON JUMP OUT OF A LOCKER AND SCARE ME THAN THAT!

now watch manuelites jump out of lockers without any intent to harm me just to scare me

Now. I do realise I have fallen for that trap of asking nicely. It can be done well but I know I haven't done it well that one time I did it so here it is:

From now on when I am a heretic. Even if you are my friend I will go all out with the crazies and fight you. Only when I have enough power to handle sec, though. I like being all sneeeky at first. There will be no asking nicely. Just declarations that YOU are my target and YOU must die. Much more cool, ain't it?

[dendydoom]

friendly antagonists are stupid. and you know what? greentexting is stupid too.

guess what happens in the majority of satisfying stories? the bad guys lose and the good guys win. roll antag, go in with a plan, make it good, and die trying. meekly trying to ask people for a win or tryharding and scurrying around all shift wordlessly checking off objectives are both low effort and contribute little to the round.

Manuel is not MRP: it's peaceful mode LRP

More genuinely:
MRP should mean more thrills, action, and excitement because there are stakes behind things happening... that's not what Manuel culture is really about

I wouldn't agree with that, there's still plenty of murder and conflict

I do this on sybil, I went on a rant and the first sentence i get out turns out the captain is a ling

[Super Aggro Crag]

ive seen some good antag roleplay on manuel but most of the time it's insta-funnyhand you're round removed. i dont know what these guys are talking about friendtagging, maybe i don't have enough friends to notice it.

[RedBaronFlyer]

I don't hate being an antagonist but I try to avoid it when I can. I'm not entirely sure why, but I prefer being a prey in a hunter situation. To me it's way more fun to have to find your way out of a dangerous situation as opposed to making the dangerous situation yourself. I have way more game knowledge in regards to ways to hide or psych people out to get away from a super dangerous threat, but I don't really have that when playing as an antagonist. Granted, it doesn't help that 90% of my antagonist rounds are being a converted revolutionary or cultist that either gets converted right as the revolution/cult are about to win or about to die.

It kind of goes in line with how I play as a normal crewmember, very rarely in the action and usually more on the backlines (running lasers up to the frontlines, recharging guns while people fight, dragging wounded/dead back to medical, etc.) The most amount of crew members I've been directly involved with killing in a single round is probably, like, four or five during a cult round where we killed the security raiding party.

Also, it's super fucking embarrassing to die pathetically as an antagonist compared to when you're a normal crew member.

You should try antag more if it's embarrassment holding you back.

[Cheshify]

I don't like antag rounds going on for longer than necessary. I like to just do my gimmick and go out in a blaze of glory. I can't guarantee having a microbombs in me at all times so I just don't play it.

To be fair, you basically already won if you ascended. The rest of the round was basically your post-victory slaughter.

[Itseasytosee2me]

to be fair i haven’t played in mrp since the policy was revised, but it was pretty annoying feeling like I had to watch my step all the time. It felt harder to be “spontaneously antagonistic”

The social pressures and meta cliques definitely don’t help with that aspect either.

No, I know, I am just saying that we all have embarrassing moments, and playing antag is fun if you learn to embrace the dumb ways you die.

i should roll antag more youre right

[sinfulbliss]

You, as an antagonist are empowered to make living on a space station more dangerous, why are people throwing it away?

same reason people turn antag off, it’s more stress because your round is sacred now so the stakes are greater if you die

no one wants to be the guy that gets wordlessly batonged in the first 5min, arming sec with 20 TC

but it’s boring to turn antag off, so some people just keep it on but play it like they’re nonantag to get the fun of antag without any of the stress or stakes

it’s their antag round so fair enough. you can do what you want with it

good to see this thread be productive and not go the way of all other threads where people who don't play mrp say how much they hate it because it's pure evil and unfun for x reason and then all the actual players try fruitlessly to say that x doesn't actually happen

i'd hate it if this thread turned out like those

[Drag]

I don't play antag because the last time I was heretic I was personally attacked as a person and an admin when I ascended. This was after another confrontation a few days before because I acquired somewhat hefty body count as a traitor. I don't like constantly arguing with people who suffer from a severe skill issue, and don't remember core rule 10 exists.

GRANTED: The social environment might be a bit different, it's been a while since I played consistently. That's just the reason why I stopped trying to play solo antag.

Now I just be gay and do petty crime. (I'll still play antag on LRP, or team antag like cult or nukies)

The difference is MRP will typically write an essay complaining about how the LRP players stereotype of MRP being a peaceful sandbox where everyone is kind to each other and gives each other pats on the head with no killing allowed is inaccurate because some rounds are peaceful and some aren’t.

Meanwhile LRP players typically respond with “yes, and?” when LRP is stereotyped as being a violent death match every shift by MRP players.

this is pretty common on LRP too in my experience, altho maybe it’s worse on MRP because it’s closer knit and drags into the discord after

my recommendation is to simply not engage. they’re angy and there’s nothing you can say to help them get over it

Based.

Doesn't matter. For me to be chasing someone as sec, someone has to be chased, who can have any kind of job.

Yes, and?
MRP gamer cries about the lack of conflict, then boasts about not having conflict like LRP.

I've never tried Manuel but I have tried fulp, which is MRP, and I imagine Manuel has the same problems. People like to crap on fulp's admins but the admins aren't even the worst part of fulp. Horatio is not perfect but he's a fairly good headmin. The problem is everything else - the admins are just enforcing the rules, which in turn are one of the problems. The rules are too restrictive (like Manuel), the players are unrobust (like Manuel), interesting stuff barely ever happens (like Manuel?), you either have to play security or get victimised by powertripping security... you don't even have better RP, Sybil has better RP than you, the difference is that you're playing on peaceful mode.

[Fren256]

[...] the admins are just enforcing the rules, which in turn are one of the problems.

I can't believe admins exist to enforce the rules, this just like British society but dystopian.

aight good post dude thanks for proving my point.

tribalism is pointless. you prefer lrp: i respect that. it doesn't mean mrp is the opposite of all that you find good and decent and so infringes on your ability to enjoy what you enjoy. it's lrp with a few more rules around conflict thrown in so that people have more opportunities to talk before getting put on ice. that's it. acting like it's anything more than that is melodramatic nonsense (something which you claim to come from mrp players, but here we are seeing it from an lrp player. could it be that we're not so different after all?)

Could it maybe be that LRP also has some more peaceful shifts? And could it be that you are focusing on a small minority of LRP players? In my own experience the MRP and LRP communities are very quick to stereotype the other whilst being very fucking similar. Really we should just be the TG community and not just draw arbitrary lines due to some extra rules and a single shift in one letter.

We do and we hate them. Everyone not working on some atmos/xeno project (where you don't even notice the round unfold) is bored to hell until someone inevitably self-antags.

it doesn't mean mrp is the opposite of all that you find good and decent and so infringes on your ability to enjoy what you enjoy.

If it's anything like fulp, yes it does. SS13 without conflict is like a car without an engine. A round without proper antagonists is like a car without gas.
From what I read on the forums, tg MRP plays like the living hell that is LRP greenshift, but every round.

I’ll also note here that you don’t speak for every LRP player, if you dislike greenshifts thats completly fine but not everyone does, I like em cause I get time to experiment with stuff without as much chaos and it makes those chaotic rounds even more special.

This happened to me once too.
I soon realised that player was not a good player to play with anyway. I continued turning on antag to spite them.

Some days I have it off because I don't feel like being evil that day. When I am antag I want to make an impact. (Even if it's to one or two players) If I'm not feeling it it always falls flat.

Tip guys. My most memorable rounds are when an atag picks on me specifically and messes with me for a bit and nobody else. Kidnapping, just fucking with my office non stop, etcetera. Picking on a single person is an easy way to be an evil antag without dealing with a crowd. Try it!

Tribalism is pretty natural, plus you have the aspect that only a tiny percentage of players will frequently play both MRP and LRP. This, in turn, creates separation. Similar to how a singular lizard species dropped onto two islands will eventually become two different species given enough time, even if the islands are somewhat nearby, and especially if the islands are different in terrain, food, predators, prey, etc. Given that the LRP and MRP players are separate, this leads to a “us-versus-them” mentality.

For instance, the most common thing I can think of is how LRP players have accused (rightfully or wrongly) the admins of trying to convert LRP to MRP or to kill the “traditional culture” (read: culture when I started playing) or spirit of LRP.

Meanwhile MRP players accuse LRP players (rightfully or wrongly) of essentially safari hunting by playing on Manuel specifically to dunk on the less robust player base.

Even if the rules were the same you’d still have cultural differences. I imagine there is some cultural shock that would occur if you forced a LRP player to play on MRP for a month, and likewise a MRP player forced to play on LRP for a month.

LOL that's a beautiful mental image

honestly we have our own combat tryhards that both antag roll and run sec. yeah, there are ~roleplayers~ who abhor combat and try to avoid it, but i'm sure there are players on lrp too who don't just play to get in fights and enjoy other aspects of the game. a common argument from mad players in manuel dchat is "wow and they call this mrp?" just because they died. the two are really not all that different, all things considered.

[sinfulbliss]

I imagine there is some cultural shock that would occur if you forced a LRP player to play on MRP for a month, and likewise a MRP player forced to play on LRP for a month.

A long time ago I was forced to play MRP for 3 months before going back to LRP, the most difficult thing to adjust to were your actions being magnified.

For instance on LRP you can pretty much act however you want (within the rules). The chemist blows up the dispenser like every round, toxins floods their department like every round, people are screaming random shit because they have brain damage IC (or OOC), a 4-way nonantag brawl breaks out in the main halls, someone shot themselves with the Russian Revolver 5 min into the round… You can do or say anything and blend in fine.

On MRP things are much more controlled. Plasmaflooding toxins by accident is like, a MASSIVE fuck-up, you WILL be hearing about that later on the Mannycord . How you talk is how you roleplay so interactions are treated a bit more seriously, particularly because the goal is for them to end up little roleplay scenes.

honestly we have our own combat tryhards that both antag roll and run sec.

MRP has good mechanical players just like LRP does, and LRP has good roleplayers just like MRP does, it’s more about individuals than servers really. It’s literally just a handful of people on every server who make up the extrema, and everyone understands that. It’s just more fun for people to be like YOU WOULDNT LAST 3 FUCKING HOURS IN MY WORLD, PAL, I LIVE IN THE FUCKING HOOD MY ALARM CLOCK IS GUNFIRE ROLEPLAY WITH MY .44 HUGBOXER.

No way sinful, mentioning the mannycord? I heard if you piss the wrong people off, they'll shittalk and meta grudge you and overall make your life playing Manuel a bit more difficult.
