I'm also worried that the people wont hear about it and/or the ones that do are still banned despite being reformed and quality players and we dont see the pop or ever-evasive "roleplay quality" jump upfrom doing it.

If we are willing to entertain the idea, we should aim bigger as we have ...

TheLoLSwat

i dont think this is a bad idea necessarily, i just dont think its better than admins telling people off / punting people into the sun.

TheLoLSwat

this is a good post but idk what policy is actually being suggested. Is this a request for rex/ian/striders to tell admins to tighten up enforcement? I think admin enforcement being lacking is already an issue that they are looking at but ofc i could just be yapping.

TheLoLSwat

command staff being demoted is one of the most complex crew-facing social interactions we have (that can occur atleast semi-regularly). I dont agree with putting more even more policytape over it. There are already many avenues to take if you think your head is incompetent and you want to oust them

TheLoLSwat

I feel like it just makes things a lot worse for the average player without accomplishing much. Shitters can still join as a different department, where they would have a much better ability to be annoying anyway. I also find it incredibly odd how theres been a very clear negative response to the ...

I don’t think anyone actually likes this (that plays), and that alone should be enough for headmins to end the experiment. One of the big reasons this was tested was that it’s trivial to revert if it didn’t work. Well guess what? It does not work AND nobody is enjoying it.

Many veteran players ...

The issue isn’t with spy inherently, it’s the fact that their rewards are terrible and don’t even make you feel like a spy. I am willing to bet that if their rewards were reworked with a focus on stealth / trickery / escaping fights spies would not only be way more fun but received much better (but ...

Pointing is the fastest way to grab someones attention, which is relevant when the person you want to talk to could very well walk away before you finish typing. It would be very silly to punish people coming to the logical conclusion of using pointing whenever they feel it works better. Also its a ...

TheLoLSwat

You should add things to the filter if there’s no real use case (like the n word or other obvious cases of OOC-IC). Chat has other uses so it should not be added to the filter, but rather admins should be enforcing bad use cases (400000+ strong team btw)

Also i dunno if this is just doompilled but ...

Orbit reports give a sense of round expectation that might not benefit us. I know that captains are free to keep that info under wraps, but there's no consequence really to sharing it?

the consequence is the crew reacting OOCly to the information. If its stated that the shift is a red star ...

MSO had an ultimate MSO moment and the admin team went "HELL NAH!". it went about as well as you'd expect and it took some time for things to come back up independent of MSO (i think things are still being brought back). We have a new host though

i dont really see the issue with captains focusing on the security matters over other matters. The point of being the captain is that you get to be the big boss and stick your nose where you want to stick it. It just makes sense that captains would more often step in for matters regarding the safety ...

(disclaimer: i am level 1 iq)

I see the vision, but I think this is a complex way to solve an issue that better enforcement of rpr rules would solve easier. An admin was told that they did no wrong by noting someone for using relatively minor excessive force on someone who deserved it (even if the ...

Lets face it, a populated sybil is in the past and I think we should begin looking into ways to make the experience better for smaller amounts of crewmembers. I am especially talking about antags who feel like they cant do anything hostile when there are so few people to kill. I also am talking ...

its good that its vague because it empowers admins to empower players to rp the situation. We dont want officers to have an entire armory / locker room as well as their creative minds but be forced to use the exact same methods because an alternative does 20 brute damage which leads to a note ...

TheLoLSwat

its hard getting my arr pee in when we have 80+ players running around metastation

50-75 cap would do nicely in keeping the rp quality up, and maybe all those extra people can populate sybil

4 months terms (i think 3 is a better idea, but it can be 4 just as a start)

TheLoLSwat

As it says on the tin, since the main anchor against hard filtering "ligger" does not exist anymore and i think it is just outdated, and the lowest of the low hanging fruit when it comes to speciesism RP.

TheLoLSwat

because it’s kind of a niche that can only really be explored as changeling or traitor and even the latter does a pretty bad job at it because anyone with more than 10 hours will notice you show up in a mask/hat that covers your hair and face that you refuse to take off like a fat kid with a shirt ...

Yeah, naw, I do hope folks picked up on the sarcasm

Friendly reminder that saying post-hoc "It was a joke, jeez, how did you not get that?" when pressed on something that isn't on it's face, interpreted as such, is emotionally manipulative behavior. It's something that I've seen a lot, not ...

Could be tested for like 2-3 days just to see how it impacts the game

The reason you trust your commanding staff member (IC) is because they are the head of the department you work in. I don't think its a good idea to also have the OOC reason to trust them because of them not being able to be antag.

The reason people are often more interested in the equipment and ...

its done for a speedboost, since clown shoes slow you down pretty heavily

TheLoLSwat

it should not be legalized, but full clown outfits that include different shoes should be protected like how regular clown shoes are. Clowns that dont wear their shoes should be punched in the nose like how speaking mimes are

I know Timber already posted a ruling but I'm going to abuse the fact that the thread hasn't been locked to remind folks that we need you to report when people do things like this, even if no admins are currently on the server. I'll make an effort to personally sit on lowpop Sybil more often, but ...

The title is vague and general, but the only thing im really asking for is to raise the number from 20 or 25 or wherever it is to 35 or 40. Long uninterrupted murderbone sessions is what kills the pop before it can take off and it should be curbed until the pop gets high enough to where an actual ...

I think what is trying to be stopped(from admin POV) is beyond the scope of this thread, and specifically going “tot” or “X BAD” isn’t bad because there are clear and obvious scenarios where you are extremely pressed for time due to the nature of the game. This thread should be closed (and a new one ...

Antags are allowed to be dicks, but we dont want them spawncamping so they have a specific exemption from their rule 4 freedoms

Seems simple

TheLoLSwat

it should be earlier than later. People will stay on after the initial round so there isnt a reason to delay it too much

TheLoLSwat

Honestly? I just want to encourage players to consider deconversion over killing more often. I feel like the vast majority of LRP players don't ever really make that consideration and just go "Rule 4!" and kill them because it's more fun for them to do things that way, but it really sucks for the ...

TheLoLSwat

The context of the situation matters so much. While being killed instead of deconned sucks a ton, the fact of the matter is that sometimes the chaplain is dead and nobody grew holymelons. And even if neither of those are true, they might not be available to a particular player in a given context ...

It being a trait (an intern deleted the species database!) or human heads being preferred seem like the best way to allow nonhuman command staff while preserving the human-supremacy spice seen in the game.

I also think this whole thing is going in circles, after the two weeks it’s going back on the ...

Those notes sound terrible on LRP and you should appeal them imo. Also as someone who also mained nothing but hippie until /tg/, it could be a little jarring to see how different two "LRP" servers are but hippie was closer to NRP than LRP, and maintaining a distinction between NRP and LRP is ...

TheLoLSwat

I get the idea with this but I don’t think it makes any sense limiting the antags ability to antagonize. They are people who are at war with nanotrasen so I feel like limiting their ability to wage war is very much fail rp and plus leads to way more boring round with less of the madness that ...
