Favouritsm amongst admins [KorPhaeron - Tsaricide]
So kor granted tsaricide a tc trade request for the blood jaunt spell, he then preceded to murder everyone.
Tc trades themselves are not a bad idea to spice up a round or allow for a gimmick. But when we continually see admins granting other admins requests for ridiculously OP powers we naturally get pretty suspicious.
It's not helped when the requestee goes on to murderbone the rest of the crew.
Blood jaunt isn't fun to deal with when a slaughter demon is involved, it's even less fun when you're dealing with other antags as well.
My gut feeling is that if you look at the number of grants like this, admins granting other admins powers like this is almost certainly much much higher than the chance of a random player getting it and people are getting wise to this fact.
OOC after the fact was very salty and tsaricide and kor weren't particularly good in their attitude.
I don't know what punishment is appropriate, but this shit has got to be reigned in because it's starting to piss people off.
edit:I forgot to add that they got a slaughter demon earlier, but apparently they had an "antag token" although under what circumstances they got that, we may never know (Why is an admin even able to earn antag tokens?)

I've traded TC for blood jaunt, summon guns, random spells and stuff before. It depends on the admin, I'd be surprised if most wouldn't give a player something crazy if they would give it to another admin.

Re: Favouritsm amongst admins [KorPhaeron - Tsaricide]
If I'm not wrong, Kor has given tsaricide Blood Jaunt multiple times.
Though for real, if admins give a dude blood jaunt and won't give a dude a Morph there's probably something wrong in how admins value the power of these trades.
Then again I'm not really one to talk since loller gave me Jungle Fever once when I asked for it.

IIRC Ausops misclicked once and turned everyone into a monkey by accident; round got restarted and all the antags got given tokens, tsar was one of them.oranges wrote:edit:I forgot to add that they got a slaughter demon earlier, but apparently they had an "antag token" although under what circumstances they got that, we may never know (Why is an admin even able to earn antag tokens?)

Re: Favouritsm amongst admins [KorPhaeron - Tsaricide]
It's probably just admins feeling obligated to trade with the others when they ask in asay or something.
Trading TC's for shit is hellafun. (Which I guess the player base isn't used to anymore.)
Though to be fair this is like the millionth time Kor has given Tsaricide blood jaunt and they're friends out of game. Kor probably just shouldn't trade Tsaricide for things to keep the asspain down.
Plus anything that makes Oranges mad is A++.

Lying to admins is a bannable offense Oranges, I killed 2-3 people that round (Miku, some chemist, and maybe an engineer I don't know if he got saved or not and that's all I did)

Re: Favouritsm amongst admins [KorPhaeron - Tsaricide]
I had a less than amazing attitude/response to this in OOC because I do TC trades constantly for pretty much whoever asks (especially when they ask for things I coded). Hell I do roundtype trades if a solo antag or team antag agrees. Taking 20-30 minutes to outfit clown ops is a labour of love.
So its annoying that I got a range of responses from admin abuse to "TC trades shouldnt exist at all" and being told its somehow my fault that other admins dont do trades as often so the system should be scrapped for being uneven. It's frustrating when I try to spread the fun around as fairly as I can (trading) and its still the cause of OOC anger.
And yes I am friends with him but I dont think thats entirely relevant considering how often I do trades for everyone else. He wasnt the exception, he was the norm.
I'm not sure what to do about percieved bias though other than banning trades or keeping a list/log/rules of what to trade somewhere which sounds dumb.

And yet the following round had nobody asking to trade their TCs for anything.oranges wrote:It's not about them being adminned/deadminned, it's about tc trades for admins seemingly being approved more often.
Most rounds usually don't, and if I see a lone antag on basil i've even stepped up front and asked if they wanted to do some gimmick and they usually decline.
The first step is to ask.

Re: Favouritsm amongst admins [KorPhaeron - Tsaricide]
I don't really care about this but I can offer a incite into a perceived bias in trading.
The average player would not be aware of the degree of freedom they can get by trading in their TC's for a gimmick or a special higher level item, whereas Admins would know of this as they would be, on the rarer occasions, be granting these requests.

Re: Favouritsm amongst admins [KorPhaeron - Tsaricide]
Yeah I get accused a out favouritism about certain players too, where it's just because they're the only ones who actually ask. Tsaricide is one of these players who usually ask.
Most admins probably don't hand out fun on their own. It's usually in response to creative requests.

Re: Favouritsm amongst admins [KorPhaeron - Tsaricide]
I gave tsar a demons heart a few days ago, and then I gave a few other people hearts too. It's just a matter of asking for a trade
just don't ask for any more demon hearts though, because they're obnoxious for the crew and probably a bit much for TC trades imo

I often ask for lone alium transforms (or, in high-pop, larva memes) and usually get them. Am I being favoured too, or is it just a matter of asking?

you shouldn't give people demon hearts in response for telecrystals. it's not balanced. if it was balanced then it'd be in the pda list

just because something is balanced doesn't mean it goes in the PDA list.

Re: Favouritsm amongst admins [KorPhaeron - Tsaricide]
The timing was just terrible, I just killed my target after a long chase around space, I was near death, and Roland just comes out of the "Drop of blood in space" just to murder me. My only issue over the fact he seems to get this many times before, which is almost guaranteed to get it after asking, where some of us ask about five times for a TC trade and the admin just ignores it. I get that it depends on the admin, but in my opinion, it does pay to be part of the group. I am not saying there is favoritism, but it looks that way when things like that happen constantly. Other than that though, I kind of got over it anyway, just another murder boner in space station, that's daily stuff.

Re: Favouritsm amongst admins [KorPhaeron - Tsaricide]
say tsar 'gets blood jaunt from kor often' seems far more likely to be the fact that
A: Kor does trades loads
B: tsar (presumably) asks often.

My TC requests are mostly ignored these days or usually get denied. Last time I requested some spells admins said they'd rather not give them out to traitors. Best spell I've gotten was some construction ones.

Re: Favouritsm amongst admins [KorPhaeron - Tsaricide]
In my own experience I used to TC trade all the time. It was the only reason I played Traitor/Ling and I made no secret to it. Eventually, admins just stopped TC trading for fun stuff so I stopped playing either of these antag roles.
On the other hand, I once prayed for a charge spell in a really slow round as a non-antag and got it, I then proceeded to spam a wand of nothing at everyone before I got disarmed and it got spaced, so it's really inconsistent as to if admins will actually do trades at all.

Playerbase isn't used to tc trades since it is actually quite rarely allowed with the exception of admins I guess.
