Re: Dreary Peanut Thread (NAME POLICY EDITION)
Any argument that uses our quality of RP as a justification, is invalid. Manuel's RP is not on a level where character names are starting to impact the player experience. I completely disagree with Timber's decision to reprimand them for their naming choice.
Frankly, if anything, you could make an argument that the number of zany and outlandish additions to the game, be it as items, entities or anything else, is hurting it's RP more than any name could. But I don't see coders getting banned for shitting up our already weak setting, so people making a genuine minimal effort to make a (cool) name shouldn't be either.
With named regards

otherwise I dont really have strong opinions either way.

Dreary Doom should also be allowed because it isn't Amon Gus and they even have a neat reason for it as a bonus cherry on top.

Re: Dreary Peanut Thread (NAME POLICY EDITION)
Tbh, this.
Not actually calling the following non-exhaustive list of names that admins have or have had dumb but someone could raise a brow to them:
► Show Spoiler
I can't help but look at this and think: If you are going to care that much about names being immersion breaking and failing to meet a non-documented standard you may as well start chopping, because there are plenty of names to axe in the community with a standard like this.
I REALLY do not like the idea of arbitrary naming enforcement, and this REALLY feels like another one of those nothing-burgers that doesn't deserve the effort its getting.
I don't quite appreciate the concept of guilty until proven innocent either. This isn't Japan.Not-Dorsidarf wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 12:24 pm I dont really like "Justify why your name fits the policy" as a position to hold on naming policy

Re: Dreary Peanut Thread (NAME POLICY EDITION)
For a less meme-y opinion on this: I literally run around with badly disguised stupid joke names on almost all my characters and would be very upset if an admin bwoinked me for any one of them. I love this kind of creative bullshit.
Mike Harr(My Car, as opposed to Mike Hawk)
Anne Taggart(Antag)
Ayla Storm(this one is more niche, but it's a reference to the pirate metal band ALESTORM).
Lam Pl'Ighter(lamp lighter(wow it's a moth))
A couple of my cyborg/AI names are phonetic alphabet spellings of LIGMA and SUGMA. I think I even used WENDEZ once.
None of them are clown statics, but my favorite dumb homonym name is my clown name Hairy Tick.
Goofy names are one of my favorite things about ss13, and it's a shame they're getting trod on by a rule meant to keep people from unironically naming themselves Adolf Hitler.

Re: Dreary Peanut Thread (NAME POLICY EDITION)
You are right, but this is pointing at that whole idea of things not fitting LRP or MRP standards, whatever those are, and backing Scriptis regarding some of the sillier / funny names that even admins use and have used. I stand by BARK BARK BARK BARK the clown in absolute solidarity as much as I do a name like this. Clown, AI, moth, don't really care. This isn't some immersive simulation environment.Pandarsenic wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 7:47 pmOkay hold upMisdoubtful wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 2:39 pm Not actually calling the following non-exhaustive list of names that admins have or have had dumb but someone could raise a brow to them:

Crushing peoples fun here for what?
What is the benefit here of not allowing a bit of a silly name that is within the already reasonable guidelines besides?
I don't vibe with decisions made based on feelings rather than merit, but I mean I guess I get it?
(Also Arm has the best names and I love to point to them whenever someone brings up naming policy for anything)

Naming policy simply cant stand on caring about immersion/ the RP when you give specific roles the ability to largely forego the policy.

Re: Dreary Peanut Thread (NAME POLICY EDITION)
It depends on the name, idrc if you had a million stories as "cat vore", it's a stupid name.
The issue is "cat vore" is REALLY bad and immersion breaking UNLESS you're a clown/wizard because haha wacky!!
Hard to hold a standard for the more grey areas under the specific reason of wanting to maintain immersion with those kinds of policies.

Re: Dreary Peanut Thread (NAME POLICY EDITION)
I would take issue with Cat Vore for someone who isn't a Wizard, Entertainer, or Silicon because it's clearly not actually a name. Dreary Doom... rides the line of whether it's a name, but IMO it "feels" enough like a name that it doesn't immediately take me out the way Cat Vore does (even though some extremely unfortunate humans today have the surname vore and Cat/Kat is a perfectly common abbreviation of first names.)
but this sort of administration-by-vibe and subjectivity is why naming policy is such a mess I guess

Re: Dreary Peanut Thread (NAME POLICY EDITION)
I agree on the DD name my entire problem with naming policy though is that its reliant on muh immersion yet "Cat Vore" isnt exactly a sensible clown/mime name or wizard name either, we just give those up because le epic xd (entirely inconsistent with the idea you want to uphold immersion)Pandarsenic wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 9:46 pm I would take issue with Cat Vore for someone who isn't a Wizard, Entertainer, or Silicon because it's clearly not actually a name.

There are people on manuel at the moment with the names "Pizza Parker" and "Not a taco", neither of which are particularly pleasant players to be around.
Only enforcing this rule on players that can behave is kind of unfair.

Re: Dreary Peanut Thread (NAME POLICY EDITION)
what if instead of making other headmin terms write policy, you just wrote policy during your 6 month tenure as headmin? or would that require you to admit your fellow headmins were obstructionists, thereby throwing them under the bus?Timberpoes wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 9:53 am They will take it all into account.
I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek when I said it, but I do expect this to interweave itself with policy. So it may take a hot minute to resolve, which is par for the course really.
I do think it's an important appeal in that respect though, because it genuinely does get to the core of admin discretion/opinion within naming policy, and the purposes and goals of naming policy in general.

No appeal or major policy post that focused on naming policy took place during our term, so it never even entered our radar.
You should know what that's like. So many of your PRs are in response to some trigger-event putting it on your radar. Playing a new game or watching a new TV show to inspire a new feature. Getting mildly inconvenienced (or witnessing another player become mildly inconvenienced, or hearing about another player becoming mildly inconvenienced via third parties) during a Skyrat shift to inspire a new balance change. That sorta stuff.
Policy is very similar. Change is usually triggered by some appeal, policy post, argument or disagreement. Often the only unprompted policy changes you'll see are in response to a headmin platform.
I think I've applied naming policy correctly. If I haven't, the only thing that needs to change is me and my approach because I fucked up.
If I have applied naming policy correctly but the headmins don't feel the outcome is appropriate, then there will likely be policy changes on it. Or maybe policy clarification.
My term's time has been and died with a whimper. It's time for the spotlight to shine on San/Rave/Spookuni and they now get to direct tgstation towards what they feel is the best it can be.

Re: Dreary Peanut Thread (NAME POLICY EDITION)
Silicons, entertainer roles like Mime/Clown, Nuke Ops, Wizards and probably more roles generally have really big leeway for crazier names. Oh, Chap too if their name is thematic to some Chap gimmick.Misdoubtful wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 4:16 pm Yeah I really like DOORKNOB. Ruling like this imply that names like DOORKNOB that are funny might be bad.
Funny names are soulful and have rights.
Also just look to some of the pre-coded names for things like silicon's and death squad troopers.
Then unique species naming conventions within that.
Please don't take my ruling of "single human name bad" to mean "all names bad regardless of how much fun they are". I do even acknowledge the various exceptions and flexibilities for naming policy in appeals, and although I don't cite silicons directly they are included in the big list of things that can be named weird or self-referential things.

Re: Dreary Peanut Thread (NAME POLICY EDITION)
There is an entire conversation that we have had here regarding this. There is more to it than this post, and it is all about this leeway and things 'fitting'.Timberpoes wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 10:15 pmSilicons, entertainer roles like Mime/Clown, Nuke Ops, Wizards and probably more roles generally have really big leeway for crazier names.

It is not targeting your ruling specifically, its targeting any in general that someone might make now or five years from now.

Re: Dreary Peanut Thread (NAME POLICY EDITION)
Please god people, writing long and eloquent appeals without any kind of visual break does not get you style points. It makes your appeal extremely difficult to parse and take forever to get resolved. If there's a lot of information that you want to get across, break it up into categories.cybersaber101 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 05, 2022 7:26 am Also to note that this is getting to Ian0 and randomlyevil levels of paragraphs over what should be a simple "Ya, you're a long time good faith roleplayer so sure Ill give you the freedom to have a slightly outlandish name"
Don't try to obfuscate your points with fancy words. Make it clear what points you're making in an appeal in a concise way so that headmins (or anyone who's interested) don't have to set aside an afternoon and a pot of coffee just to read your appeal to completion. There's better places to put that kind of literary effort into.

was just headmin for 6 entire months and could have written this policy they're begging for at any time during those 6 months and deployed it, and instead chose to do absolutely nothing for 6 months
we just ignore the part where it's illegal here, too

soup, in my eyes, is one of the best moth names because of this
i think people also forget that we give people nicknames all the time in real life and actually go by them over their real names
