Yes. Terry doesn't have the cap and Sybil doesn't exist.

None of this would've been even pondered if admins just assistant jobbanned griefers playing assistant for like, idk, a month each, or some other large arbitrary period of time.

If we surgically remove a felinid's cat ears and tail, and implant a human tongue, is the felinid now human (as far as the AI is concerned)?

The alien of Theseus.

Strictly speaking if the AI can't tell, didn't act in bad faith and treated them like a human it's fine. Skill issue ain't against ...

I was writing some ideas on a piece of paper to try and quell the itch I got to run a Warhammer game, and ended up dropping what I wrote on gippidy to try and get my thoughts in order.

I think it's better to leave the Greed ruin for legit greedybois and ban antag rollers instead.

Its hard to difference between greedybois and genuine antag rollers since its a public ruin that everyone can go to roundstart if they pleased to if they cant find the ruin they can just die ...

I am in no way unhappy with his proposal. It has a very satisfying lore crunch.

It'd be nice if the jobs had the same abbreviation/acronym, like Chief Medical Officer becomes, say, Clinical Management Organizer. If that's too contrived, I understand.

Good one spook

No, that was more me saying I wasn't attempting to insult you and was just being earnest/maybe a little blunt about how I felt about the matter. I didn't want to be misconstrued as insulting you.

Oh Vekman I got nothing but respect for you bud, you'd have to go through great lenghts for me to ...

conrad

Again, I want to be respectful here, but this feels more like you putting your own beliefs and opinions into things as opposed to objective fact. I feel like you're making a pretty broad extrapolation to go from "We let someone have a mononym because they had an interesting RP reason for it" to ...

I think that we're generally in agreement on the concern here - we're worried about players who tend to act like the main character of the round and try to solve every problem, but is this going to actually help prevent that? Does this do what you and Ned say it does?

That's what I meant with ...

Why is it so hard for people to conform to a standard that isn't that hard to conform to?

People having to click "yes I meant it" to post totally acceptable usages of a not terribly uncommon and normal word is a significantly bigger problem than having to get over a feeling of guilt about notifying admins that someone is breaking the rules, I am afraid.

I'm 110% on board with this. Griefing is more likely to go under the radar on lowpop, as well as the age old lowpop murderboning.

MatrixOne wrote: ↑Fri Apr 04, 2025 10:05 pm It's not the pointing. It's the *not talking.*

I think it's relevant to try and talk about that, and how to encourage it with the carrot rather than the stick.

Call me pessimistic but finding a scapegoat in pointing means people will just not bother either pointing or talking.

conrad

I do not really understand what you mean here, is this suggesting we get admin trainer to focus on training people covering a specific time?

tbh I recall back in my day that before I was adminned there talks that Sybilmins were necessary and Manuelmins weren't being sought after (this was 2021 ...

Pointing is extremely convenient, this isn't a MUD, if you don't type W to move left, you literally have to CRUSH the A key on your keyboard, which makes running dialogue "Hey can you stop for a mAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" if you hit enter, or position your cursor all the way to the left if you're ...

conrad

If you add chat to the filter the way Timber suggested someone who's saying "Hello chat" will just confusedly say "hello chat" anyway.

There's nothing criminal about ahelping this sort of thing, although I feel it will depend on the admin in question if they'll action this.

conrad

Right, sorry, I meant also for LRP, and also for non-antags, just in general.

i think some standards could be tightened by the admins or atleast talked about with the community in a couple policy threads

How would you, and other potential headmin elects, put this in practice, is what I am ...

What do you think of this sentence that keeps being said all the time? I realize there's already a thread for MRP antags but I didn't think it Christian to highjack it, so if you think you already generally covered this please link your quote and I promise to read it.

For this thread, in general ...

conrad

Matter of fact is nobody knows how to fucking do it.

The problem is that policy and rules are prescriptive: they exist to be complied with. That creates structure, but it also creates rigidity.

What we need more of right now is the descriptive side: cultural guidance that explains the why ...

Matter of fact is nobody knows how to fucking do it.

(Though I think any department ban should include a captain ban tbh)

tbf a captain taking over the functions of a department they're jobbanned is considered ban evasion.

I think on Timber's previous term (which incidentally it was when I was admin) I saw at least one guy getting banned for ban ...

Yeah but when you say stupid shit like "waaah you didnt note them" it misconstrues what I meant.

Repeat after me:

Adding more rules when the people you want following those rules aren't following the current ones and the admins aren't enforcing the current ones doesn't work.

Oh wow that subtle change to the secpol precedent for rule 4 is terrible.

Can ya stop hamstringing sec through policy and instead correct them through adminning? The current rules work fine and changing them won't make someone not following them magically start following them.
