ERP Only on Basil

This appeases both groups

Anyone that wants to ERP can go to Basil and Sybil and remain free from the fucking socially defunct awkwardness of ERP.

Roleplay, even erotic roleplay, is a crucial part of this community. Although some people may not understand that "majority" can't particularly be defined (at the moment), it still drives the core (members) of the community.
I'm for unbanning erp on Bagil, honestly. It's a good idea; keeps two parties happy-- though, not necessarily the admins. I'm not quite sure whether dictation of what's allowed and what isn't, is being driven by the administrative staff's personal opinions.

Though, disregarding that, I feel as if unbanning ERP on Bagil would be a good thing. Perhaps keep it banned off of Sibyl; the rounds are too hectic to have people slowing it down by non-contribution. Perhaps the non-contribution would happen regardless. I don't know, I haven't done any tests, but apparently HornyGranny has (I'd personally like to see the hard quantifiable data they've collected)

Roleplay itself can happen regardless, non-erotic. I feel roleplay is a good thing, as I previously stated in the intro to this comment. It helps immerse you into the actual world of the facility and bring a more hitting experience to you. It might be the only thing keeping this game fresh for some people. Maybe not others. But the core gameplay can only be repeated so many times before it loses its "charm" and starts becoming a bore, or a chore. Roleplay can 'spice things up', in a way; make the game into more of a story that has a continuous feeling to it, to drive people- make them want to develop, worldbuild, etcetera.

Roleplay is fine,

ERP Is pathetic.

Playing your character in a manner that fits the role is fine, going off every single round to fuck is not.

Unban it on basil, keep it banned on sybil.

Going off every single round to fuck is quite terrible, I do admit.
I feel it should be treated more like a real work environment. If you're going off to fuck, you know the consequences. And if you're caught, you're punished by security-- that would be more immersive, in my opinion.
Restrictions and understandings of punishments apparently didn't stop ERP, though, so it makes me wonder just how many nymphos are on this server

As a basil player this is a terrible fucking idea.

Unless one or both of these two options happens.
Those who are regularly ERPing are antag banned and job banned from anything with more responsibility than botany.
Or.
Whitelist a select few people for antag every round.

putting erp on one server is stone cold stupid, people ALREADY perceive basil as the circlejerk, that would only deepen if you started allowing stuff on basil that doesn't fly on server 1

that being said, the poll seems to show support in unbanning ERP and i'm not sure why this was that big a problem in the first place? admins just needed to push buttons on ERPers more imo, regardless of what bluespace thinks

it was fucking funny stuff most of the time, and disgusting the rest of the time

Then make a server 3 ERP server.

I'm just planning for the worst incase NikNak gets elected and it gets unbanned.

Fuck ERP on sybil.

i hate to be the dumbass devils advocate here but are 2 lizards fucking in dorms really ruining 60 people's rounds
like honestly, the worst part about ERP was faggots talking about who they fucked and where in OOC, if they just shut up and fucked each other in peace and quiet i'd have no problem with them

You have to turn off ghost ears in order to avoid it, Meaning you can't properly observe the round.

People regularly fuck off from important jobs to have this pathetic shit happen.

Yeah it's a problem for Sybil.

Throw them on a server where no one plays.

if you observe with ghost ears on you're a fucking wacko anyway
and people haven't fucked off from jobs that i've seen any more than they used to since the unban, and i play a lot
the worst i've seen is the chaplain fucking in the office when the cult needed to sacrifice him, but they eventually got him and won the round anyway so no big deal

I don't want them on server 2 either Wyzack, It's more of a last resort kind of thing. The health of Sybil comes first in my eyes. I'd prefer for it to just stay permabanned.

Then you've gotten lucky,

Why would you be Wacko? It's pretty easy to keep track of the round with Ghost Ears.

i'd say you're wacko because for me personally, keep ghost ears on when there are >30 people (which is sibyl, basically) makes it impossible to keep track of anything meaningful.

and i deeeeeeeeeeeeefinitely haven't just "gotten lucky" in one hundred and fifty five rounds over the past month.

Well in the last two weeks I've seen Captains do it, RDs do it, CMOs are the most common.

Luckily sec seems to be immune to this plague.

I can keep track of >30 pretty easily tbh.

i dunno what else to say i guess we just have had entirely different experiences

i'm not gonna lie and say i've never seen the cap fuck people, but i CERTAINLY can say that i've never seen a non-cap head ERP. i'm not going to demand logs because that would be fucking stupid, but i will say that i honestly don't believe it's as big a pain as you're saying it is

I still think that the excessive erp should have been dealt with via an emoteban, so the erpers had to go and publically argue on the forums that their sexuals were not excessive.

Yah, sybil had way more erp than bagil. Relocating it is dumb. Unbanning it is dumb, because eventually we're going to end up with people saying erp is their rp and admins shouldn't intervene
I'm just planning for the worst incase NikNak gets elected and it gets unbanned.
Niknak is against erp being unbanned though.

Honestly looking back and even though I said "oh I don't care about ERP not my problem" I really would prefer it if Basil wasn't the goddamn hugbox sex zone for Sybil's retarded lizard population.

We already get enough of the "lolol imma reck on basil fuck these gay rpers" shit, we don't need sexual freaks showing up too. :l

Now I know that sometimes the subtleties of social nuance escape your "different but still special" perception of the world can sometimes let slip past your understanding but that was what you might call a "Sarcastic" proposal, not one to get yourself all worked up about bae.

You're fucking dumb if you think you can put any semblance of sarcasm into a sentence on the internet. Sarcasm is about tone of voice and over exaggeration, neither of which fit the criteria of the above statement.
