Mutantrace Discussion
There is some discussion that is needed over the subject of alternate races being enabled with the September 1, 2014 update.
How will the mutant races interact with the AI?
Will mutant races retain their buffs/debuffs?
How will assuming the identity of a crewmember who is a different race than you work?
Will any more mutant races be introduced/will the feature even stay enabled?
These are all just general talking points to get us started, and I'm sure there are many other things that can be discussed.

Ahh I thought we were about to go full bay code.
Which I'd kind of be okay with on the second server. I've been playing on vg to switch it up because bay is a little slow for my taste and its nice with the different coding styles and races even.

Re: Mutantrace Discussion
There will definitely need to be discussion on mutantraces and their relation to the AI. These aliens are not human, thus are not afforded the protections under its lawset. However, there is already a policy stating that a nonhuman is protected under the AIs lawsets so long as it remains friendly. The moment it breaks a law or is hostile it loses its rights.
Personally, if a species gains a small buff it must also suffer from a small debuff. Humans are the baseline and gain no advantage, but they don't suffer from any disadvantage.
*EDIT*
Also, to go with our servers limited lore, I think non-humans should be restricted from any command/security role. Maybe regulated to civilian jobs only?

I think the current silicon policy addresses alternate races just fine; Dont fuck with them unless they become a problem.

Then how do you differentiate between a Lizard player just wanting a job change, and a Lizard player wanting to roleplay the discriminated guy?
Either Lizard people are by default discriminated against (When it comes to job prospects), or they are not. I do think it would be interesting to limit Lizardmen to civilian jobs and see if a charismatic lizardman can work their way to a high level job.

Re: Mutantrace Discussion
I was under the impression that lizards were the 'mexicans' of the station, the under-appreciated workers that everyone shits on.
If we're going for realism then it is perfectly acceptable that humanity absorbed or murdered every other species they encountered so that they could be employed as workers with no rights, because fuckyeah humanity.

Discrimination would serve a purpose for game balance too. Lizard man security and heads would absolutely suck for traitors hoping to covertly kill and replace them.
I think it would be cool if they had some small brute or toxin resistance to compensate.

After playing as lizard captain, I think that lizards add quite fun interactions that are potentially gonna worsen greytiding, that lizards look better than humans and that their ears look like cat ears.

Re: Mutantrace Discussion
I would strongly recommend not putting any policy into effect for a week or two of mutantraces being enabled. Anything done in haste will result in policy designed to combat problems that will only be present in the initial frenzy of activity. Things will calm down and the novelty of space racism will wear off.

Re: Mutantrace Discussion
I think the racism is fine. So long as its kept verbal and done in good fun. Actually killing a Lizardman because you feel they are valid is shitty and shouldnt be allowed.
I asked on the server yesterday and the admins said that Non-human races are covered by Law 1 until they attempt to harm humans. Sounds just fine to me.
Dont really like Lizardmen(They talk funny) but things seem to be going well since they were added. The worst ive seen so far is the AI bolting a mob of them into the Holodeck and burning them to death. Everyone took it well though, so whatever.

They would be fine as nonhuman, just covered under rule 1 so people cant fuck them up for no reason.

Re: Mutantrace Discussion
Only thing I'd like is for everyone to stop losing their shit over the lizards. Every round devolves into a race war essentially.
There was one round where I was HoP where there was the ALM (Anti-Lizard Movement) and the LDL (Lizard Defense League) where the lizards had gotten weapon permits and tasers to defend themselves from racist ALMers (there were peaceful protests, etc). This was fun...once.
Now every round involves a bajillion head messages about lizards, people are screaming about lizards and almost always the AI ends up with a law being uploaded that has to do with lizards. I get that people are excited for a new change, but this seriously needs to simmer down to a point where the existence of lizards doesn't end up defining every single round.

Re: Mutantrace Discussion
To be honest, they really aren't. The space racism thing is kinda neat, but when a lizardman can sign up as a captain or any other high position on roundstart, people acting racist, even if it is in good RP sense, comes off as really one-dimensional.
We will get tripped up on AI policy a lot though. That's one thing that will be added.

Re: Mutantrace Discussion
I don't know whether this goes in the silicon policy thread or here but it's almost always about mutantraces when it comes up, so:
- AI is Asimov.
- Captain (or RD or HoP or whatever I guess) wants to pre-emptively stop the AI from fucking with lizardpeople.
- Captain uploads a freeform law: "Lizardpeople are human."
Every time this has happened, some joker is like "You do realize that this law 4 technically nonhumans the rest of the station, right?" I don't see how it would, because the law says nothing about the humanity status of anyone else but lizardpeople. Uploading "Ian is human" doesn't make Ian the only human, same logic. But it comes up often enough that I'd like an official ruling on it.

the law doesn't specifically state that ONLY lizard people are nonhuman, ergo the AI could (depending on their interpretation, mind you) maintain the human status of the rest of the crew.

Re: Mutantrace Discussion
Personally I think that in such as Human dominated society, that the usage of non-humans in command roles would be heavily looked down upon. Not saying it would be impossible, but think of it more akin to a woman in a CEO/high level position 60 years ago. Rare as hell, looked down upon and had to work significantly harder to attain such a position.
I think that non-humans should be restricted from playing in any command or security role for the time being.

Re: Mutantrace Discussion
Baystation also has 6 different species options, and are significantly heavier in the RP (notice how they heavily discourage as opposed to code it in).
Also, lizard folk have been in the game for a long ass time, basically any time someone was made into a lizard person by admins they would face persecution and sometimes entire rounds would become a big ol' speciesist hoopla just like recent rounds this week, it was pretty common until SoS outright banned admins from turning players into different species.

Re: Mutantrace Discussion
I don't know if this is possible with BYOND code, but... Why not rather than ban lizards from command/sec, we weight the job selection to favour humans. It means that while yes, sometimes you'll have a lizard in a command role, it's not gonna happen as frequently as Aryan McMasterrace being captain.
