Events/Button-Mashing/Badminning Discussion

[Stickymayhem]

Bottom post of the previous page:

Admin intervention in rounds has all gotten a little out of hand so a proper discussion on what people actually want might be useful in this case.

First off, we've agreed that trialmins shouldn't be running events themselves, but instead can assist their trainers if requested, so they learn the ropes without fucking everything up. That's going to happen either way, but there are some other things to consider. Additionally we are going to try and get everyone, including me of course, to step off the buttons a lot less often. It's a bit lazy and the more effort people put into proper events the less frequent and higher quality they generally are.

- How frequently do you want to see admin intervention in sub-two hour long rounds?

- How frequently do you want full "extended" rounds that admins take over from the lobby to run?

- Should these absolutely require a majority vote?

- Should the two hour point on Sybil remain the point at which admins are free to burn everything down?

Let's keep this discussion focused on this. Examples are fine, prolonged bitching or changing the topic are not.

That sounds a bit more like mulligan happening, when a special antag type gets wiped out and the station isn't in too bad of shape, it'll automatically spawn more.

As for the bwoinking thing, if I see a dude running somewhere with a bomb and I know he's about to use it, i'd rather tell him that's a bad idea than wait for him to do it and have to ban him afterwards. Less work for me anyway.

Bombs don't have inhands, IIRC.
Also he's specifically talking about bwoinking people who try and robust events.

Okay. I've been reading lot about this crap lately.


Okay. Lets see how boring things get with Zero Events for... I dunno, a Week. 2 Weeks.

Too often have I had an admin take complete control of a round without any warning, adminhelps pop up and I have no idea how to handle them because the admin ignore all attempts at communicating with them.

I'm pretty sure this is the point where you deadmin and demand answers. Ignoring other admins while running massive round changing events without warning, permission, or discussion is shit.
