Bottom post of the previous page:
I'm sick of it.Example: belt pr getting merged.
Despite getting argumented and voted into the ground, it still manages to get merged. Why? A certain John "Fulp" Willard thought it was good.
After that in the same thread, someone said "nerfs are going to be controversial" NO. NOT LIKE THAT.
The only controversy that was in this thread was coders threatening to merge it against the will of people who actually have to play with it.
Good Controversy entails a healthy debate with good arguments on both sides. In this case one's side was "guh realism" and then the other side proved that your changes aren't realism but bogus, then stacked multiple other arguments on top. But guess what?? It got merged anyway.
Then there is the argument of "but muh RP!!"
yes, ss13 is an RP game, of sorts.
But stop trying to fit it into the singular category of "Space RP". It is so much more. If you want to make it like that, you might as well remove the gameplay and make it chat only. Touching grass might help too.
Categories you might fit ss13 into: Action, Roleplay, 2D, Simulation, Multiplayer
But no, instead we chose to confine it to the roleplaying aspect.
Stop trying to force the playerbase to play by your rules. How about you play by the playerbases rules instead? Or at least a healthy balance to hold up order. Why force tg to become more and more roleplay only if the playerbases enjoys the action based factor more?
