Admin events caused by deadchat/bored player demands
How do we address button pressing as a result of Dead/bored players and admins caving into their demand.
I want my salt and a natural round end from my effective sec gameplay, not a low effort admin event because of ADHD dead players that don't understand dying is part of the game and next time don't die.

Re: Deadchat salt and incompetent antags admin events
Most events aren't spawned at deadchat's request.How do we address button pressing as a result of Dead/bored players and admins caving into their demand.
And even if we ignore that part, button pressing is a natural part of stopping the round from becoming extended lite.
Personally I like extended, but the stance of most players is clear on this that they prefer to have something happening.

But comes a time and a place where extended is relaxed and fun after a succession of short unfun rounds.
Almost every admin wants that better reputation. They want to make the game more fun, but if every admin felt entitled to 2 events per day, we'd never have a normal round.
Save the events. Plan new ones. But please put effort.
Sometimes I want to chill after trampling over the antags. It doesn't mean I want to fight constantly.

Re: Admin events caused by deadchat/bored player demands
Rounds should be interesting. Good admins know when to spice things up.
There is always one player that gets upset no matter what happens or what you do, even if it was an automatic random event.

I personally think we should do more actual events and less """"events"""" that consist of rod memes or button smash

Re: Admin events caused by deadchat/bored player demands
Considering we've been understaffed and the servers are own their own I'd probably say no and wouldn't believe you. The game, at least for this codebase, is pretty much designed for rounds that last up to an hour or less. Anytime it goes over that it's extremely lowpop with less than 10 people actively playing or maybe an edge case where things lined up that a group managed to find something interesting for the majority to be involved in.Kor wrote:I wish people would believe me when I told them admins are the reason rounds are shorter.Atlanta-Ned wrote:Then git gud and end the round instead of making half the server sit through an hour-long round where nothing exciting happens.J_Madison wrote: I want my salt and a natural round end from my effective sec gameplay, not a low effort admin event because of ADHD dead players that don't understand dying is part of the game and next time don't die.

Also this thread is a joke as one incident the OP was not involved in spawned it. The majority time the round goes it's own natural course with hardly anything being done by an admin to really impact it.

Re: Admin events caused by deadchat/bored player demands
I believe you. When I was a player it used to bug the hell out of me that during certain times of day on Basil any round that went longer than an hour seemed to be bombarded by admin made threat after admin threat, regardless of the crew being bored or having fun. No idea if it was the same case for Sybil since I rarely played or observed there at the time.Kor wrote:I wish people would believe me when I told them admins are the reason rounds are shorter.

Re: Admin events caused by deadchat/bored player demands
Most of the grieffy stuff isn't even admin involved, it's random event RNG screwing you over.
I have only once ever demanded natural antags do something in the round, and this was after the hour mark anyways.
If anything, the rules that allow you to have freedom to ruin the station as you please as antag is way more destructive to average round length than the round-length-altering admin interference.

Re: Admin events caused by deadchat/bored player demands
I wish more admins saw it that way. There are very few rounds that can find a purpose independent of conflict between players, and those rounds take a very driven leader with a novel and creative idea... given that happens almost never, admins should not hesitate to wrap up rounds that have ceased to provide conflict or provide a new conflict that can give the round renewed purpose.

It's all about balance, but given that our poll last year had players support more events, I'd say there's nothing wrong with more admins trying to make a round more interesting.

Re: Admin events caused by deadchat/bored player demands
One of the best rounds i ever had was a 3 hour round where i was captain. I didn't allow shuttle call because the situations were all containable and we managed it every time. But the admins had things happening that made the round interesting. We had traitors then xenos then nuke ops declaring war and coming for the disk. The nuke ops team was a team of 10 too. We killed all the nuke ops. We beat them all. After the ops showed up i called the shuttle and we had a great end to the conflict.Oldman Robustin wrote:I wish more admins saw it that way.

Used x-ray lasers to kill all the xenos. With the ops i recall the sec force got out batons and beat them to shit. Even though some had dub eblades

Re: Admin events caused by deadchat/bored player demands
Yeah. I agree, it's pretty unexpected when that one hour mark goes by and some really silly stuff happens that forces a shuttle.
Nobody ever sees it coming. When people ask why, it's often. "Well, rounds been going on too long.". But it's all well kept from us.
I remember back before shifts were held to some silly "One hour only" quota. Things actually got done, people could actually interact and enjoy the RP aspect on the side.
Game's kind of devolved to nothing but antags trying to murder everyone, and succeeding, or security trying to stop them, and succeeding. And when there's finally any semblance of peace, it just starts all over again. Or else... God forbid anyone tries to come up with something interesting to do as an alternative. It's kind of like Dark Soul's Abyss Watchers, only less interesting... Very rarely will anyone succeed in being able to break the cycle without it being shat on.
Arguably that's just the way this community and codebase has been going for quite some time, though. So i doubt that's much of a shocker.

Re: Admin events caused by deadchat/bored player demands
Really I wouldn't mind if we're warned that the event is going to devolve into button pressing right before the buttons get pressed.
But more importantly, I would prefer if admins actually put effort into their events rather than smacking buttons together. That's all I'll ask for.
If you don't have a good event plans for when someone ruins the round, don't button press at all please.

Trading for a war ops declaration is a terrible idea because it undermines trust in what is basically an OOC message (the entire point of war ops being you know its war ops)

Maybe if it happened literally every other round, but I don't see once or twice being that big of a deal.

No, because I'm a boring and uncreative dickhead unfortunatelyKor wrote:Can you name the kind of gimmick you'd like to see then?Qbopper wrote:Poor wording on my part, I mean "beyond dressing up as a pirate and talking like one" gimmicks don't countKor wrote:Having a significant impact on the round with your gimmick usually leads to adminhelping.
I could ramble on about how all of the most memorable rounds I've seen involved rulebreaking that the admins let slide, and the various gimmicks players have run, but I'm sure everyones read my thoughts on that before by now.

Re: Admin events caused by deadchat/bored player demands
I don't think you're boring and uncreative, I think you've just boxed yourself into a corner with an impossible set of requirements (impact the round so everyone notices, but not in a way that it upsets anyone out of 80 people).
There are lots of fun and creative things players can do if you're willing to bend the rules a bit.
But neither admin nor player events can work if you hold them to the standard of "didn't break a single regular rule or otherwise inconvenience anybody"

Have fun you lifeless corpses. If the station is drying out and the ghosts are getting rowdy, sorry one xenobio guy that wants to keep playing but it's time for swarmers to end this shit.
