Spawning 60 tc worth of eswords in a ferry is not a good event.

If I have to restart my client in the middle of an important game as a team antag, please TAKE OVER my body until I can get back instead of making a vote for 10 seconds whilst my body is beaten to deathand some random is given my body.

Just take over, run away, and get somewhere safe until I return, or hand it over then.

I don't mind doing this but usually we don't actively check every team antag to know immediately when you drop unless we happen to check antags at the right moment or spectate you directly.

sybil might have no admins on at odd times (super early/late) but that goes for both servers does it not

prison security administration is currently more lax than ever, and i like that, because it allows me to rape more inmates play the game more freely.

Coiax was tempminned for a round and I'd like to say he did a really good job. Bwoinked me once and was patient when I asked for a minute, dropped the issue after I healed him.

oh shit yeah, sorry about the misunderstanding. I critted someone who was NOT coiax and coiax bwoinked me about it, I asked for a second to deal with the shitshow currently going on in the gulag area, processed all the prisoners and healed him and he dropped the issue. obviously i would not be leaving good feedback if coiax had done that

I cant fucking stand it when you ahelp something and the admin responding pretty much just says "well your wrong its valid" then closes the ticket so you cant respond or ask why.

I can sympathize with your frustration, but rule 6

also I think a lot of the admins may not realize exactly how frustrating it can be to get an IC issue/rejected/etc. message even if they're doing it for good reason (myself included)

if we can't tell you usually it's becauestelling would be revealing round sensitive info, like if a person in question is/isnt an antagonist. not really any delicate way around it unfortunately.

Ye like I said, if the admin said "I cant tell you why but its valid" Id be happy with it, its when Im left in the dark wondering if they just misunderstood what I was saying, or if the other side of the conflict said some shit that wasnt true and they got out of it that frustrates me

Problem is, players generally read "Valid sorry" to mean "oh so he's an antag so I can do whatever." Like PK said, sometimes there's just no delicate way to do it.

Alternatively, if the admin just kinda brushes things off it might be the issue is being litigated a bit more than they have time or reasonable patience for. We try to make sure that players know what's going on and the rationale going into most rulings, but sometimes chasing a player in circles or arguing about the rules or rulings gets nobody anywhere and the issue just needs to be resolved. Partly in the interest of moving on to other issues and partly in the interest of helping you the player move on from whatever the ruling was or the circumstances that needed it.

I left this in your feedback thread but you specifically are really good about making sure players (or at least me) know whats going on.

It sucks

I've had more than one occasion where someone asked if their death was "valid" and I explained that I can't tell them much about it, and then they unironically reply "oh so its ok to kill him once I get cloned right?"

I just tell people straight up if their killer is antag because

A) They are dead

B) If they got revived they'd know that person was a murderer anyway and then act on that. Both from an IC and OOC standpoint their killer is now valid, doesnt matter if they have a red name in the player panel

C) Less frustrating for them

D) Half the modes have hiveminds anyway keeping info from ghosts isnt realistic

If a player wants to litigate forever you can just tell them that its your decision and they can go post on the forums if they want to dispute it and then stop responding to them.
and then they unironically reply "oh so its ok to kill him once I get cloned right?"

If they're alive then I remind them of that fact or tell them to tell security.

Like 90% of actions that can only be excused as "they're a traitor" are also actions that would make it valid and just to kill them anyway. If a traitor is trashing my workplace vs a random person is trashing my workplace is going to get the same violent response.

Ever telling a player that downright someone is an antag, regardless of reason is imo dumb. How do you complain about the game being different from when it used to be when you remove any kind of suspense or uncertainty of anything

The suspense is supposed to be IC, deadchat is OOC.

Adminhelps are also OOC and should be as painless as possible. Transparency usually helps with that.

Death is not always permanent, and there are many cases where it isn't and many cases where it is. Admin judgement should come into effect when telling the player, not just for any reason.

But if someone kills you they are now valid for death both IC (murder is a capital crime) and OOC (you can meet murderous force with murderous force) so even if they come back to life you wont really have given them extra information by saying "they're antagonist." They know a killer is out there and will likely inform whoever it was that revived them.

But they don't know for sure if it's an antag or not, and you are still injecting OOC information into their game by doing so and this influences their in-game actions.

Take for example, a situation where two workers got into a fight and one ended dead.
One is an antag, the other is not.

Person ahelps and is told they were an antag, person then retaliates through potentially lethal means but what it boils down to is now "An antagonist killed me and I'm getting lethal revenge"
instead of "Person A killed me for X reason during a workplace fight and I'm killing them back" and while the end result COULD be the same, depending on what a player says upon being revived or how other players who were either around the fight/were informed after the fact, their response to the murder could be different.

The end point here is, one way or another, you are injecting OOC information that could effect things. While you could say "That will never happen" and I can't provide specific examples what so ever, but enough situations similar to that from my own experiences of fighting with a traitor who nobody knew was a traitor, and just the game in general happening over and over across many months, who knows? In the end, why not just use logic to make estimated judgments situation to situation when that doesn't seem that hard?

I'm sure there are edge cases, which is why I said 90%, but keeping OOC information out of the round is frankly impossible, and making sure people have a good time and feel like they're treated fairly usually outweighs the need to hide things from them.

90% is a statistic you pulled from thin air. You can't back up this number or confirm it in anyway. Keeping OOC information out of the round isn't that hard. Most code related additions adhere to this very well.
There really isn't a reason to do what you say you are doing for the "feeling" of anything. We answered adminhelps vaguely about that stuff for years during that limbo zone when you were gone from the community and everything worked fine. I really don't know why you are arguing so hard to basically pick the lazy way out. This game is about suspense and putting you into situations where you don't know everything, but you take some of that out for basically no reason. Sometimes people aren't going to have a good time when they are killed by a traitor or what not, that's just the way the game goes. Not everyone has a good time each round and there's really no reason to inject this OOC information into the round to make them feel better in anyway really. They should adminhelp of course in case it's not a traitor but then wait to the end of the round like everyone else to see why X did Y.

I try to say something "I'll look into it" - it keeps people satisfied in that I'm not ignoring them, it doesn't give them info on who's an antag in case they get back in the round, and if I know the person in question is an antag then I can just move on

It's not perfect and they can usually find out on their own as a ghost if X is an antag but I've always felt the one word "valid" or "X is a traitor" responses were unnecessary

This

When I send an ahelp into the void its the worst, if an admin confirms they got it and will deal with it as they see fit I'm satiated in my need for justice

This is bad since we ban people for dealing with an issue IC after they had it dealt with OOC, I used to do it but I realized how bad it is. If you say looking into it that person has no idea if they are allowed to retaliate against their murderer without getting banned, but if you tell them its valid or yeah that guy is an antag they know they can go and handle it IC since it wasn't solved OOC.

But if they weren't wrong about retaliating, then it was never an OOC issue to begin with.

Because 99% of the time when people say "OH WELL IN THAT CASE CAN I KILL SOMEONE WHO DOES THIS?" they leave out all the context of the situation and reduce it to a blanket "can I jump straight to murder please please plz" whine. Context matters, just because a particular fight was escalated enough that killing is on the table doesn't mean you can kill someone who toolboxes you once.

Reread qboppers question. It is "so its okay to kill him once I get cloned" not "so I can kill anyone ever in future rounds"

There isnt context missing if you are asking whether you can retaliate against a specific person who just killed you.
