The adnins should not enforce optimal play, and should be hesitant to allow players to enforce optimal play via a pass to bending or breaking the rules.
It is not against the rules to not contribute to the war effort. It is not acting like an antagonist to carry on business as usual around war ops and not act like winning winning winning is all that matters.
War ops is not and should not be the death of any fun or joy in the shift. It should not be the mandatory player enforcement of winning at all cost. An RD shouldn't be afraid of researching Durands because a robo wanted Gygaxes and Gygaxes are better than Durands so they RD is acting like an antag and can now be valided.
It feel like some admins would like to allow rule breaks against players that break the imaginary script that admin has for how to most optimally game war ops as the crew. No deviations allowed. All must know the meta. All must power the game.
No, stop killing the biggest SS13 moments that make for the best SS13 stories. Encourage players to use all IC means at their disposal that are firmly within the rules. Use their words. Call sec or a superior to the RD. Just play the hand you're deal and change your plans because your boss doesn't want to win win win hard hard hard must win cannot have fun cannot roleplay cannot do anything but be optimal.
Timber when i am being repeatedly slipped by a clown when i'm trying to get into the AI upload to give it a law that allows it to help the station against nuke ops my rage CAN and WILL facilitate the removal of that clowns head.
Could we actually both be correct at the same time?
I agree that clown griff when trying to prep for nukies can be a good reason to separate clown head from clown body. Especially if the clown isn't actually being funny or creative in their griffing of you. Being an unfunny clown basically Rule 4 valid because only the Syndicate would be so bereft of good pranks, honk!
At the same time, the RD spending research points on whatever the RD wants is kiiiiinda the point of the job and if youuuuuu don't like it you kiiiiiinda got three options.
1. Get the captain to """replace""" the RD.
2. Get sec to declare martial law and """replace""" the RD.
3. Roll RD yourself so you always make sure research points are used in precisely and exactly the way you desire, demote anyone who disagrees, try not to get """replaced""" by the cap or sec.
