It's a shitty gamemode. Secret is better. Do some actual polling of the Manuel playerbase before you put Dynamic on it.

Re: [MRP] Fuck Dynamic, don't put it on Manuel.
Dynamic can be fine tuned. Is it not worth testing tuned dynamic to begin with?
Some tuned dynamic happened to run for hours just the other day for a handful rounds — none of them were 'a chaotic mess'. In fact people didn't assume they were dynamic rounds at all from how tuned and tame they were, considering that more often than not, dynamic is directly associated with chaos.
Dynamic does not have to go hand in hand with chaos.
How is this all achieved for the MRP server? A lower curve, longer width, set threat, (all of these based on the server population and experience in what they will mean) and things like the secret mode toggle that essentially just auto traitors throughout the round via mid-round spawning to keep a long round from getting stale.
Dynamics shortcoming are more setup based and partial to the lack of improvements / QOL being ported over from its origin port in my experience.

Re: [MRP] Fuck Dynamic, don't put it on Manuel.
Additionally, this change would remove Families from Manuel, a gamemode that the players there actually like since it is disabled in Dynamic.
ADDITIONALLY, the codebase has no plans to support Dynamic in the future. It is entirely possible Dynamic will be removed.

Re: [MRP] Fuck Dynamic, don't put it on Manuel.
Goof yes this is me manuel man 64
Nobody likes families
There are like 3 players who actually like it because they had one round with actual roleplay as gang members rather than free antag and they don't realize even said roleplay plays out the exact same way every way and assuming good faith doesn't work
Meanwhile almost nobody in the SECRET MANUEL GAMER CHANNELS says "remove dynamic" they usually say "fix dynamic" or "no blob in dynamic pls"

Re: [MRP] Fuck Dynamic, don't put it on Manuel.
Because we need more 2hr stale rounds on Manuel where the antags either fuck off or get caught early and it becomes pseudo greenshift. I don't think we need 24/7 Dynamic, but a lighter supplemental Dynamic that helps to add to stale rounds is very much needed.
I honestly don't mind Families, Wizard, Cult, Nukies, etc. On Manuel, but those rounds typically don't become stale.

Re: [MRP] Fuck Dynamic, don't put it on Manuel.
I agree that, as it was said, so long it's a fine tuned Dynamic purposefully adjusted for Manuel, with some testing behind a controlled integration, it can work and it has the potential to be better than anything secret currently has to offer.
Also, I'm neutral about families but I've never seen anyone discussing them or their absence in a round in ooc. I don't really care if dynamic supports them or not, to be honest.
That being said, I think just straight up changing Manuel to dynamic 24/7 without all that in mind would be far from ideal

Re: [MRP] Fuck Dynamic, don't put it on Manuel.
Because of the anti murderbone rules, rounds that aren't dynamic tend to be stale. Dynamic makes the round more interesting by adding more sources of conflict into what would otherwise be a boring round where nothing happens for 2 hours
And I am sorry to tell you this Goof, but I don't think people on Manuel actually like Families.

Tweaking was the idea for manuel, working with both players and admins to have a properly tuned experience. Dynamic needs work to fit into an MRP setting but its not an impossible task. it just requires someone to be willing to put in the effort on the admin side.

I’m willing to bet goofs primary concern is that full on dynamic will impact families which I don’t believe is on dynamic any longer, he just hid it behind other stuff.

Re: [MRP] Fuck Dynamic, don't put it on Manuel.
I'm siding with Goof on this one. Dynamic tends to get INSANELY chaotic from time to time. It's ridiculous and maybe a bit more than what we're wanting on Manuel. I think it might should be on there as an option, but not the default by any means. Having a wizard, three Heretics, and six Traitors running around at the same time while fighting a blob isn't conducive to an RP environment.

Dynamic can fit fine on MRP, even better than secret. It needs tuning, imo it does on LRP as well, but this is perfectly achieveable. The ground work is already done, someone taking the time to tweak the configs to taste is all thats needed.

No, the entire gimmick is that several events can happen at different times than expected, reacting to the current number of players and other factors. It adds, as the name implies, a more dynamic feeling to the round than the singular predictable choices that all have the same exact start time.iamgoofball wrote:Dynamic's entire gimmick is that it's chaotic.

Re: [MRP] Fuck Dynamic, don't put it on Manuel.
Adding onto my previous post. There are also rules and their requirements that be adjusted as well, meaning that all those game modes that are felt should not be on MRP won't happen. The idea of rev cult, cult nukies, etc is already non existent by default as round ending antags are toggled not to stack in their creation.
Part of issue with dynamic though is the current Lorentz curve leading to some crazy rounds. Solutions to that were made to make things a lot more even keeled at its origin point and the addition of things like Gaussian and Exponential curves that can be used, alongside improvements made the original Lorentz curve itself. Or just, you know, setting the threat level yourself and cutting out the curve altogether.
Just look at that central tendency with the improved Lorentz curve and how much less chaos there is for threat to get translated into (threat is on a 1-100 scale, 30-50 is the 'comfortable middle ground'):

Re: [MRP] Fuck Dynamic, don't put it on Manuel.
In my humble opinion how chaotic dynamic is depends on the players participating in the round.
Could you provide at least one Manuel round that was as chaotic as you're saying it is?
Do you even know how it works?

Re: [MRP] Fuck Dynamic, don't put it on Manuel.
I'd like to see some tests of dynamic on Manuel before we go in full swing, but I think it might be able to stop rounds from becoming stale, at least to an extent.. I do think it needs a lot of toning down and removal of too powerful antags on lower populations if its possible (xenos, blob, team antags, heretic, etc). Also I don't quite agree with those "perfectly fine" antag counts from Bagil on Manuel.

Re: [MRP] Fuck Dynamic, don't put it on Manuel.
Dynamic's current numbers are wayyyyy too chaotic for Manuel. It's very difficult to have any interesting RP when a revolutionary wizard changeling is ei nath-ing their way through medical while everyone dies to three blobs and a cultist space ninja. I like the idea of dynamic, it would help Manuel a lot but it needs a lot of changes before we can even consider making it the default.

Wizards can be really fun for MRP, as long as they don't go full murderbone throwing fireballs at everyone they see. They have access to spells that allow to fuck with the crew in really funny ways, and their rituals can create some really cool events.
And yes, MRP doesn't need to have talkative antags. Blob is a good event that makes people have to coordinate their actions against a huge threat to the station. It also creates opportunities for other antags to complete their own objectives while the station is busy dealing with it.
Perhaps there could be some changes to Wizard MRP policy or code to avoid situations where they just explode everybody while trying to speedrun their greentext.

My issue with Wizard isn't High Antagonism, it's that it's either murderbone (which to be fair is somewhat banned now) or press the wacky spell buttons to a degree that doesn't conduct to RP at all. It's hard to RP when everyone's mindswapping and lul so randome vents are triggering every five seconds. I'd prefer if the Wizard's more direct antagonist angle was prioritized over his wacky events role, but it needs some reworking so that he isn't so much the warp in, fireball warp out guy. With the Blob, the issue is that the OOC awareness that the blob can just insta round end if you delay a certain amount (it's BASICALLY just a timer) it incentivizes people to basically not RP until it's done. My issue isn't that you can't RP WITH the blob, but rather that it disincentivizes RP from what I've seen in Manuel.
I fully agree with point 1 on antagonism and am a notable enemy of bar RP, but I still believe Wizard needs a full rework (my point was moreso wizard is shit in general, MRP or not, as either murderbone galore or the lulrandom events) and that blob has no place in Manuel in its current state. There can be some fun RP around blob, so it's not THAT bad, I'd just like blob's progression to be altered a bit so it demanded less immediate attention.

Re: [MRP] Fuck Dynamic, don't put it on Manuel.
I strongly disagree. The best midround antag, in terms of both rp and gameplay, is unironically abductor however it's not for personal bias reasons that I am known for having. It is because it adds to the round, isn't inherently chaotic, and actually has some roleplay involved. I will say that I am biased in that I think blob is the worst goddamn midround antag due to various reasons however it is a neat idea on paper, and if the crew actually does work together (aka more than ten fucking guys) then it would be great shit. It is also the ONLY antagonist that is 100% forced to be hostile so I will admit you're right in the second sentence though. Even swarmers can be negotiated with.Armhulen wrote: 2.

It should really be a random event thing though and not something dynamic can spawn on ALL servers though. It feels like a waste of points in some ways since you already could get mid-round blobs before quite easily.
edit: no, it doesn't count if you say "NOT ACCORDING TO THE RULES" because blobs actually makes actions automatically no matter what. Everyone else has to CHOOSE to make an action.

As for the actual topic of the thread, in my opinion dynamic would be a welcome change to Manuel. Maybe we can get rounds that actually go somewhere, instead of stagnating for two hours until someone falls asleep on the shuttle button and everyone gets put out of their misery. Of course it will need tweaked for the specific situation on Manuel, but I hope if it does become standard that the chances of a greenshift aren't raised beyond what they currently are.

Re: [MRP] Fuck Dynamic, don't put it on Manuel.
Blobs are inherently evil (well not really since they're just a bunch of cells tbh) that very few people know if it can speak to other people, assuming that's even a thing which I don't believe is.iamgoofball wrote:You also literally can talk to the blob, it can say stuff through all its mobs.
If a blob is peaceful then I believe most blob types do some minor automatic spreading. This means the blob is inherently hostile and needs to die or else it'll kill everyone despite being a genuine pacifist.
If a blob doesn't automatically spread then the blob HAS to win or lose. The same could also apply to clock cult in the past (and that one ancient antag who was just a npc involving the 7 sins, I believe?) now that I think about it however the round will never end by normal player actions until the blob wins/loses or a fucking nuke op spawns.
Very few antags are actually required to win or genuinely lose. In theory, you can literally be on friendly terms with nightmares, spiders, swarmers, space dragons, deathsquads, slaughter demons, etc etc. Being genuinely friendly with a blob isn't possible without it killing you or you killing it at some point.
