Re: [archie700] Thranos - Command Ban



I have been told repeatedly and by multiple Manuel admins that slur usage makes people valid, and that retard is a slur.


Could you name the admins in question? If you have been misled by any of us in the past, that takes some culpability away from you and into our hands. I am happy to sort ...

Its silly to expect us to play all the roles. I'd have to roll for antag, ew. Whenever a heretic question pops up I just ask someone, it's fine.

If it pisses off an admin enough and they think you're gaining some tangible benefit from persistent across-shift friendships, yeah for sure it's against the rules. It's not even an MRP thing, LRP cliques occasionally get busted for this sort of grouping as well, but it caused less issues ...
