Creeps, "roleplay antags", and murderboning

[Ayy Lemoh]

I never said that, i pointed out the contradiction of giving players an objective that is indistinguishable from a behaviour that goes against the rules, it literally calls it being creepy, but at the same time tells players they can't break the rules.

I've said that there will be more than one case of rule 8 being broken due to Creep. Hell, I think I saw a really minor case of it happen however everyone who saw it must've thought it was funny, including me. The thing is: I just never had or known the meme potential to make a YOU ARE THE RAPIST joke.

If you say it's fixed then that is good however I don't know how you really fix an antag that is supposed to RP as basically a rule 8 breaker or someone who does the most sexual action of all time - holding hands and without consent

Because in a game of 2d sprites clicking each other it's not the action itself that matters, it's how the game describes it. Take changeling for example: its main mechanic is to stay on top of a prone body to penetrate it without consent, but it works because at no point the game implies something sexual is happening. Creep was the complete opposite, the objective itself was mild (stay close to someone) but everything in the fluff text implied sexual creepiness. It just needed a little rewrite and now it works.

As far as rules go, it's the same as if it said "You're the Rapist! Your objective is to rape 10 people. Rape is performed by grabbing aggressively and standing over their prone body. Remember, you're not allowed to break server rules though! Oh, and you can ignore everything and just murderbone" (the last part is funny because it's already in the server rules and no other antag fluff text spells it out like that)

grazyn, it's time to stop posting. you have created an embarrassment not only to this thread, but to /tg/ station.

>implying sucking someone dry as changeling isn't somehow sexual

I used the rape example to get the point across because there are like 2 things antags aren't allowed to do, one is rape and the other is being sexually creepy.

I think you should all take a step back and look at the original PR before you lash out at me

/datum/brain_trauma/special/creep
name = "Erotomania"
desc = "Patient has a subtype of delusional disorder, becoming irrationally attached to someone."
scan_desc = "severe erotomaniac delusions"
gain_text = "If you see this message, make a github issue report. The trauma initialized wrong."
lose_text = "<span class='warning'>You no longer feel so attached.</span>"

Yep nothing to see here, no sexual undertones at all! No way this could lead to confusion over the rules.

Brutally honest here, if that led to a player being confused enough to run around ERPing despite it being very clearly against the rules, they were doomed from the start, creep or not.

If this won't matter after the flufftext changes can we close this out

Nobody did this.

I know, it was a response to Grazyn's hypothetical.

Erping wasn't the issue here, being creepy was. Rule 4 covers sexual creepiness, which is what this antagonist was all about.

Also, I found it funny that all the following things were removed because of sexual undertones:
headpatting
slapping
wearing dog collars
catpeople
gender surgery
other random stuff I don't recall now that had nothing to do with ERP

But "you're the Erotomaniac!" can't even remotely be considered sexual

Sounds like someone was playing Yandere Simulator while designing it.
