Ban ERP, take 245

[iamgoofball]

Hi there.

I want ERP banned.

Why?

Because jesus christ why do you need to get your rocks off in 2d spaceman

this is a video game about paranoia and backstabbing and intrigue

not sex simulator 2014

we are the only server that has not banned it yet

everyone laughs at us and refers to us as "that erp server"

Q&A
B-B-But muh freedumb of speech and grinding 2d spessmin up against eachother!!!
B-b-but muh freedom of not having to be afraid of stashing bodies in the dorms in fear of walking in on some crazy as fuck terrible erp session involving Pun Pun, a Cult Blade, Space Lube, and the janitor's mop.

I'm not naming any names here, but on artyom and sybil and such, I'll be rolling traitor, trying to chew bubblegum, kick ass, etc., so I'll stash my latest parapenned esworded victim in a dorm room because no one goes into the dorms, but I'll walk in on a 5 paragraph emote that is part of a terrible sex scene between the clown and the mime as they stuff cable coil up their noses while orgasming from the pain of beepsky shoving his stun baton up their asses.

I'm fucking tired of this. No. Please dear god no. It makes me never ever want to play ss13 again, and I can't be the only one who feels this way

were a 4chan community, u must not have a good enough fedora le may may eecks dee
Just because our community has the name of a place where the mentally ill manchild kindergarden dropouts gather and circlejerk, does not mean we need to act like them

it's funny tho
The novelty wears off after you walk in on it 10 times or so.
I only do it "ironically"
There is no such thing as "ironic ERP" and using that as an excuse makes you a sad, sad individual.

this won't effect our rating
I don't give a crap about our ESRB or PEGI rating. This is because it is ethically terrible.

tl;dr, if you want to get your rocks off to 2d spaceman do it somewhere else that isn't going to result in us people trying to play a video game having the potential to walk in on erpers

the tl;dr was too long to read
stop ERPing, go fap to actual porn instead of 2d spaceman

[Stickymayhem]

It's funny and if you ban it there will inevitably be borderline cases and issues regarding that. Being able to say anything you want short of raping someone is fair enough. It's one of the reasons tgstation is a good server.

ERPers shouldn't be wasting antag or important jobs, but aside from that who gives a fuck.

I find the whole thing ludicrous, but who gives a shit. It makes for interesting situations. Many of my favourite spessmans anecdotes start with "So I walk in these two people fucking and..."

[bandit]

the people who have strong opinions about ERP are funnier and creepier than any instance of ERP will ever be

[iamgoofball]

ERP could be funny if it wasn't done every other round by antags and heads, like it is now.

We lose nothing of value if we ban ERP

[Lo6a4evskiy]

Hi there.

I want paranoia banned.

Why?

Because jesus christ why would you need paranoia and backstabbing and intrigue in 2d spaceman

this is a video game about relationships of people in deep space who are far from their families and stuff

not murderbone powergame greentext simulator 2014

we are the only server that has not banned it yet

everyone laughs at us and refers to us as "that powergaming shithole"

[Kelenius]

For all the time I've been playing, I've never seen or heard any ERP. Ever.

What's wrong with me.

[Lo6a4evskiy]

Seriously, that's never been a problem until you people started to make forum posts about it.

How many ERP cases that you couldn't avoid happened like in the past two weeks? A month?

Is that seriously such a problem that you cannot avoid in any way, shape or form other than banning it?

[Lovecraft]

Considering I've only seen in game ERP twice, saw it only around 6 or 7 times while observing, and only have heard it it ruining an entire round once, I'm inclined to let it stay.
I'm sorry if you don't like it. I never do it myself, but if other people want to have fun roleplaying in a roleplaying game that's not my issue.

[Knaive]

I don't mind as long as they don't take up antag roles. The occasional ling that lures you in with sex is a time honored tradition, but if you sit in a room with your little fuckbuddy and say, "Hey guess what I'm a traitor but I'm not gonna do anything, here take my stuff!", then fuck you.

You're not going to make the round entertaining for anyone else by holing yourself up and basically ignoring the rest of the station while we twiddle our thumbs bored as fuck wondering why nothing is happening. Turn off your preferences or get antag banned.

[NikNakFlak]

Not gonna name any names
Ellise Fuzzle
Alice Jackson
Jace whateverlastname
Ashlyn wolfe


If they don't bother making it private because ghosts can watch them, Then why bother not naming names.
I am like iamgoofball, I have a strong opinion against it.

[Antonkr]

I believe that it should partially work like it worked on Bay before they removed it, with that if you take an important position (heads, or antag) you are expected to do them, and not fuck off to ERP.

[MisterPerson]

It's not that a case needs to be made as to why ERP should be removed. A case needs to be made as to why ERP should be kept. So a better set of polls would be "Do you ERP while playing on /tg/station?" and "Do you enjoy watching or participating in ERP on /tg/station?".

People who ERP should find a more appropriate venue. I don't want to see it personally.

[Helios127]

I dont know...

... There was that one time I spotted the CMO and I think the Librarian in the vacent office as captain. As soon as I found them, I announced fully on the coms for everyone to know

OH BOY

SEX IS HAPPENING! VACENT OFFICE!

I do think that heads should be expected to not ERP though, but if your a lowely assistant then go ahead.

Admins should still be able to mess with them though, just like they can mess with WGWers

[Vekter]

I know I took every opportunity to screw with ERPers when I had admin. I'm fine with it staying because I'm not an easily offended ten year old.

[iamgoofball]

I thought that the official policy on people taking antag slots and erping all daye very day is to just identity ban them?

If that was changed to allow antag bans then cool beans

[Pandarsenic]

I know I took every opportunity to screw with ERPers when I had admin. I'm fine with it staying because I'm not an easily offended ten year old.

Correct

this is a video game about paranoia and backstabbing and intrigue Depends on gametype and server. If I want paranoia and backstabbing and intrigue I play on a server with enforced RP. /tg/ is robusting greentext simulator 2554 more often than not. If I roleplay here, I do it fully expected some dipshit to run in, revolver me and the person I'm talking to, and then run back to the autolathe, never interacting with us again.

not sex simulator 2014

we are the only server that has not banned it yet Statistically unlikely? Can you back this claim up?

everyone laughs at us and refers to us as "that erp server" Can you back this claim up?

Is "You deserve it for buying a parapen" an elitist response? If not, yeah, I'll admit what I've observed of Fuzzle/Jackson ERP is pretty bad.

I'm fucking tired of this. No. Please dear god no. It makes me never ever want to play ss13 again, and I can't be the only one who feels this way Ban things I don't like 2014

Just because our community has the name of a place where the mentally ill manchild kindergarden dropouts gather and circlejerk, does not mean we need to act like them The argument is "People stop being grossed out by sex when they reach high school. Grow up," I believe.

it's funny tho
The novelty wears off after you walk in on it 10 times or so. As someone with authority to spawn interruptions, I disagree
I only do it "ironically"
There is no such thing as "ironic ERP" and using that as an excuse makes you a sad, sad individual. I put on my robe and wizard hat

this won't effect our rating
I don't give a crap about our ESRB or PEGI rating. This is because it is ethically terrible. Ethically? Are you shitting me?

tl;dr, if you want to get your rocks off to 2d spaceman do it somewhere else that isn't going to result in us people trying to play a video game having the potential to walk in on erpers

Look, let's be honest, even if we made people take it to BYOND messenger or something, people would bitchabout NAKED SPACE LESBIANS IN A ROOM TOGETHER.

Therefore, to paraphrase someone... "Go home. Nobody cares. Nobody cares how much you abhor spaceman dick. Nobody cares how cool your traitor plan was. Nobody cares. Literally nobody but you."

EDIT: I'm not the one who locked this, but I don't really care that it's locked.

[NikNakFlak]

OP locked it.
Are we ever going to be able to discuss this?
