I don't participate in hours of /me-ing, but I do occasionally drop slutty remarks or that time when some guy invented a genius way to do it - by pulling resting character back and forth - that was fucking hilarious. I am sure that all of that would be bwoinked should ERP be banned, frankly, any sexuality would be. Oh, jeeze, we contributed nothing to the round and we had tons of fun doing it. Nobody fucking owes you a contribution to the round. I would like to do whatever I find fun, thank you very much. Seriously, I don't know about you, but the goal of playing the fucking video game to me is having fun. And now you want to shut down one of the ways to have fun for people because you, oh my,
get offended by it. Why don't you remove observer mode instead - it only creates metagaming, serves for ghosts to bitch about how they died and lets people
get offended.

It's good that you mention it. Last time I read porn over radio as librarian, I had more people protecting me than attacking me. Which shows that your opinion on the matter may not be the only one. WGW is just a gimmick, just like death of Ian. The number of people who care about it because of the sexuality is not that great. And porn is BASICALLY the same as ERP, only read over radio and not in some dark corner. So if people don't really care about that and actually try to SUPPORT it, I have to wonder, how is ERP any different?
In any case, we need more evidence to say either way, but it would be useful to know how many people actually care and lean into one or the other direction.

Not in my experience. Thank you for concern, I'll somehow figure out on which server do I want to play a video game.

Do they perhaps have PhD in SS13?

First of all, this was an exaggeration. Secondly, you wouldn't know or give a shit, I'm sure.
paprika wrote:I like how you criticized people who made their own definitions of what the server should be, players much older to this server than you are, and then proceeded to make up your own claim of what /tg/ is. When you pay for the server you can decide, but last I heard scaredy wanted actual roleplay in his server.
I criticized people who assumed their definitions is the only true correct one and not just an opinion. I mean, I kind of do that when posting on forums, but that's because I'm a terrible person, not because it's a proper way to do it.
paprika wrote:You can't selectively mute people locally, so yes, people are fucking forced to watch ERP you fat nasty trash.
So code selective mute. I'm sure it's not that hard, I may even look through the code myself.
For now, I'd like to propose a compromise. The problem with being offended can be easily solved with selective mute (just please don't start "I DUNNA WANNA HAVE TO MUTE HUR DUR" or something along those lines). The problem with people fucking off... Is it really that much of a problem? Does it matter for what reason people fuck off, because people WILL fuck off, that's pretty much granted, so does it matter? I dunno, I think then you should deal with it on case-by-case basis, have a list of items and jobs that ERPers should not have, items you can leave, jobs can be "left" at HoP's. There you go, if you really think that it has to be like that. The problem is still that occasional gimmick that will probably be bwoinked.

Okay, everything like it always is, what's the problem here?
paprika wrote:waste their antag roles
I do that all the time in case I feel like it. And I pretty much never do the objectives. Come on, THAT is not a problem. Antags are not obligated to do shit about anything, don't try to make them do shit.
