Trial removal of all fun buttons
I think this would improve the quality of the server and rounds, we should trial it.
The most excessive signature on /tg/station13.
Still not even at the limit after 8 fucking years.
The evil holoparasite user I can't believe its not DIO and his holoparasite I can't believe its not Skub have been defeated by the Spacedust Crusaders, but what has been taken from the station can never be returned.

Re: Trial removal of all fun buttons
Fun buttons are kinda bullshit. It is the classic "One couldn't hurt" problem. Admins feel empowered to do events "once in a while" and end up together swarming them at times.
They also make the entire round about the admin. Floor is lava is a good example of bullshit that should never exist.
Some buttons definitely should be removed, others can be useful. This idea probably should go into policy though and be more about the phillosophy of events and their pros and cons.

Re: Trial removal of all fun buttons
Some of the buttons could stand to be removed like the floor is lava, but in general most of the "fun" buttons are fine. If people want we could do a config option or something, but I think the real solution is to just tone down how often these buttons get pushed.
I code for the code project and moderate the code sections of the forums.

Re: Trial removal of all fun buttons
I think its more of a administrative problem than a coding problem.
Re: Trial removal of all fun buttons
Its official. /tg/station has been replaced with sleeper agents. Im probably going to be the next one to get replaced. Rip me

Re: Trial removal of all fun buttons
If the admins can't get their shit together to be trusted with +fun or even remote access for the headmins that's a problem with admins, not +fun

Re: Trial removal of all fun buttons
Nobody actually pushes the "floor is lava" button.
It even have a warning on it, in essence "This is really fucking stupid, why are you even pushing it?"

Is this just me, or does this sound like a joke aimed at "trial removal of ERP for server quality reasons"?

Re: Trial removal of all fun buttons
This already happened.
SoS recently took away +FUN permissions from all GameAdmins for a few days.
To make a point or something I guess?

I'm all for condoning responsible and hilarious use of +FUN. Dont take it away. Some rounds simply need a bit of "help".

Re: Trial removal of all fun buttons
Actually I once tried coming back to /tg/ a few months ago and literally bailed because, after trying to log in once a week, I would get hit with floor is lava and die because my job didn't start near a seat.Saegrimr wrote:Nobody actually pushes the "floor is lava" button.

It, at the very least, used to be a problem, even though I actually haven't seen it for a while, and serves no actual function besides being a dumb joke based on an academic example of a meme, and serves no function. At best it should be changed to be like that "Turn air to posion" button that used to kick and ban admins who were dumb enough to press it.
As for regular fun buttons, it would be nice to have a policy on them that makes them more of a tool than a toy that admins get as a privlege, but I haven't actally seen any event rounds but one as of recently and it was a very well done one entirely focused around giving players a new pseudo-mode rather than focusing on the admin's actions.

Re: Trial removal of all fun buttons
No. Lava is bullshit. It represents everything that can go wrong with a fun button. It adds nothing to the game. It grinds regular gameplay to a complete halt. It removes players from a round in an arbitrary manner. It turns the entire round into a game centered around an admin pushing a button, and really is only a "joke" in the loosest manner.Steelpoint wrote:Lava would be more tolerable now you can climb on top of tables.
I know I am coming on strong here, but really, if the ideal of a FUN button is to give a little kick to a round in need of help, floor is lava is like a knife to the gut.

Wizards have this thing similar to summon guns/magic, except it does a massive array of stupid stuff that constantly gets us ahelps of "admins stop fucking around" because of how meta it is.

That may be it, if it was consistently ONLY summoning lava.Saegrimr wrote:Chances are you got hit with a wizard event.dezzmont wrote:Actually I once tried coming back to /tg/ a few months ago and literally bailed because, after trying to log in once a week, I would get hit with floor is lava and die because my job didn't start near a seat.Saegrimr wrote:Nobody actually pushes the "floor is lava" button.

I kind of was perplexed as to why it kept happening.

It was wizard events. No one touches that fucking button.
