is "coderbus" one entity or a group of people

players seem to think the coderbus is this one entity with the goal to change the game how it sees fit

coderbus states this is not the case, and that coderbus is simply a group of volunteers with the goal to change the game how they see fit

Coderbus is actually a kabal of hooded reptilians who work in tandem with a variety of spoof accounts in order to enforce the social justice warrior agenda and remove freedom from our spacemangame. This was confirmed to me by several top permabanned informants, god bless

As an SJW hooded reptilian, I can confirm this is exactly how it works. Coderbus is just one claw of our many-armed lizard plan; we've already infiltrated Congress.

Bullshit. I say that they're just a bunch of random assholes who just happen to coalesce long enough to hammer out something coherent! Even a million monkeys can write poetry given enough time maaan.

Piss off with the shitposting please.



The actual relevant issue is whether the current way coderbus operates is the best one, or that more structural thinking would be beneficial.

You mean the saga of "random community member with no real background in coding wants a change, is assisted in creating a PR, and makes it a reality, overturning a change a maintainer made"?

Yeah that's a pretty good example of #coderbus being a monolithic cabal.

Coderbus is just a room where you can talk about SS13 programming/game theory with other people who do that. There's no opinion at all that is common to everyone who visits coderbus because holy crap it's just a chatroom, not a political party.

To be fair, the difference between a chatroom and a political party is not too big of a gulf.

This is such an old meme of semantics.

People make generalising statements about literally everything, but most people with some modicum of sense do in fact, realise that they are not referring to literally every individual in that group.

If I say 'the 3rd years are an intelligetn bunch', this is still a valid thing to say despite the fact old johnny the face fucker in the back of the classroom might be borderline brain dead, because it's a generalisation.

So when people go 'fuck dem coderbus, they're ruining the game', then I think it's fairly safe to say that they don't think literally every coder is part of the illuminati plottin how to better ruin the game, merely multiple prominant people in that group are doing shit that, in their opinion, is bad for the game.

This is much easier to say, and much easier for non retards to understand then saying 'goof made X, Y and Z bad changes, other coder guy 1 made Q, W and E bad changes, coder guy 2 made R, T and u bad changes etc etc etc.


All that happens when people like goof and HG made shit posting thread like this, or otherwise laugh in the face of people that are genuinely trying to keep a game that they enjoy playing fun and interesting, is fuck people off massively, which is exactly the sort of shit that paprika did.

Yes people can be shitty, wrong, dumb or all of the above, but being a meme spouting shitposter about it isn't any better.

smh.

the problem has never been how difficult it is to find the IRC. The problem has always been that there is already established cliques with their own memes or whatever you shitters like to dwell in and it's difficult to properly establish yourself unless you break through a wall, which alright, some people have done but most just can't be bothered.


Coderbus is literally a paradigm to server 2 in it's heyday. Was I guilty of spouting that any new player were allowed to join and it was easy to integrate themselves into the server? Yeah. Was I wrong in assuming it was that easy? Yeah.

Cool and I literally said that some people can do it.

Majority of people don't or can't be arsed to, which they're welcome to do. It's just like this illusion you all have that it's an open club and everyone can join freely is wrong, because that's not what it is, and it never will be. It's a community in a community and that in itself means it's caustic to anyone who is new.

The only thing you gotta do to be accepted around here is contribute. Code, sprites, sounds... I won't speak for anyone, but I can tell you that the moment someone comes into #coderbus asking for help with something, I like them. I will actively put in the effort to help someone make the change they want to make. Just ask Bawhoppen, who's been learning to code recently.

That is pretty much the highest form of "listened to" there is in coderbus. You convinced others your ideas were good. They listened and made them permanent changes to the game.

Sure... after yelling at Giacom lots because he never bothered reading the feedback threads, which usually showed lots of community support for my proposed changes, I'd made before trying to put the code up for PR.

Theres also plenty of feedback threads I'd made on stuff that had been merged, again usually a lot of players agreed with my Point of View but we'd usually get ignored.

I said Sadbutt's cult would be awful in the PR on github, no one listened to me, and it was.

And lets not forget there was a bug that allowed pAIs to push people in disposals, Aran put up a fix that removed the ability to dunk from mobs other than humans and monkeys - as a side effect this removed the 'feature' from borgs, I put up an alternative fix that prevent pAIs and only pAIs from dunking people - Aran's got chosen instead of mine despite mine having almost unanimous player support.

They listened to Sabbat in that case. And unless I missed a particularly wild chapter of /tg/ history, I don't think sabbat can be considered a #coderbus insider.

Once again, when players say "coderbus needs to listen to players" they often actually mean "coderbus needs to listen to me all the time over other people, because I am always right."

As to personal issues with Giacom and Aran, neither of them are active in #coderbus anymore.
