Hello again Blenderseducer

I logged in to lift the ban. In the process I noticed something. A bit of an amateur mistake on my end for not checking this sooner.

You and I actually did have a ticket a week prior. The Incident where I banned you for the poor security escalation. This incident in ...

I have decided to remove the ban.
There is enough reasonable doubt about my call here after your reply and some information I learned after I banned you.

Thanks for appealing and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey BlenderSeducer.

Thanks for taking the time to appeal.

The reason for my conciseness was that generally it is bad practice to share with somebody you suspect of being an evader how you caught them.

Since you appealed I am happy to share some of my thought process here.

I watched you play ...

Alright I have unbanned you from the server. You should be able to connect. If that is not the case let me know here.

Hello Monke1818WasTaken.

Thank you for taking the time to come to the forums to clear this issue up. From my investigation it looks like you are correct. You are not a ban evader. So I can certainly edit the ban reason here for that.

Here is the catch though.
The other thing that came up ...

While I still think Xzero is a good admin, they did run an event that I felt was unfun, so I'll outline why I didn't like it in a lengthy explanation below.

I was Captain, and the shift number 251681 on Manuel was quite long (3h+) but I held a vote that came out to overwhelmingly "no don't call ...

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 ...

Lately I have seen blood cult spawn more often on manuel than heretic. Really need to make heretic more common

I have too many to pick from honestly. So many great moments I probably don't even remember. One that comes to mind was a Green or Blue shift on Delta. I dont remember which it was. I was the Warden and Jeff Gaiman was the HOS. It was just us two as security. I had an idea for a gimmick in my back ...

I think a heretic giving their victim a choice of: "Painless dream or hacked to pieces first" is fine so long as it is Roleplay. Not just "Sleep so I can sac you please".
When you give people the choice first you get to make the "They always run" one liner.

" it isn't fair people have to go ...

Interesting to see that the config will be transparent.

The way I see it working. Needing a policy Thread/Headmin approval is one in the same.

You want to PR a config change. You make a policy thread. Headmins decide on it by a vote. If it gets two Headmins in on it then you are good to go. With ...

Hey xz! Considering I've seen you play a bit of ai, what are your thoughts on silipol?

I like many things about the current Sil policy. I am a big fan of the changes that were made to it the last time it was reworked.
For example unshackled AI's being antagonists if the choose to be is really ...

what job do you main

Here are all my most played jobs.

So technically an AI main? But ...

Not going to lie I thought wallening lavaland and Icebox looked pretty epic. Was a fan of that part.

A few parts of it I didn't like. I was having a-lot of trouble clicking stuff as the ai. One time as a human, I went to disarm a flux anomaly but I couldn't click on it due to clutter. The ...

I want Security players to feel backed by the admins. Lately it really feels like they aren't. I would like to re-introduce space law to security policy. Either how it was before as just something sec officers can take as a guide and reference in ahelps. Or going all the way to make it full ...

I have always been a fan of birdshot and was always a fan of Northstar. I dont know how much of this area a headmin has control over but I can say on my part I would advocate against any map removal without lots of discussion. Cheshify trained me to be an admin so when they retired over this I was ...

Out of all the candidates the ones know the least are Rave and Kinnebian.

I think Rave cares quite a-lot about TG. Even though I dont see them on the actual servers. So though my campaigns whole shtick is "Hey I actually play and admin on the servers" I still think I could work great with them ...

Speciesism is part of the setting I think so long as its not used as a way to grief other people then hold up as a shield. Asimov is a pretty large example of build in speciesism.

An example off the top of my head: The shaft miner that had a bad run in with ash walkers and irrationally mistrusts ...

Ive decided to write this as an extra add on to my main post. These are some hot topics of this election that I gave my thoughts on but I think I should put here.

Non-Human Heads

I have put quite a bit of thought into non-human heads.
Last election my stance was "Yes all nonhuman heads is fine ...

hallo xzero314! Glad to see you are attempting Headmin status! Ive noticed that you are always around on the server and chatting about, so Im here to ask you for some clarification and additional questions.

Restore some Security protections that were removed in the current term.

Specifically ...

I started out playing on Sybil and eventually moved over to manual pretty much entirely due to examples like Exhibit A. On top of not really being able to actually learn and do my job. Since if somebody thought I was too slow they would just come in and do it.
I do have fond memories of some of my ...

Its hard to fine tune something that everybody wants something different out of.
Some med players get bored out of their mind if they aren't swimming in corpses to fix while others would like more room to talk to their co-workers for example.

I think that high chaos = no RP is happening is a ...

I am starting to sound like a broken record forgive me. I guess I just see the issues as similar. I Gave an answer to another question that I should have put here for this one! But the answer is the same regardless.

Its great that we have people all able to play on manny and have a good time ...

I still have fond memories of one round in particular from last april fools because the admin Higgin gave me a good note.
I am happy to encourage it. Based on my own personal experience it slips my mind to give one rather than I am hesitant.

I have never given an antag token out though now that ...

I think with TGS current bright potential thanks to the new host We have a really good shot at getting the pop back on sybil. Interest in TG is climbing from what I can tell. The evenings high pops of manny are only hitting new highs.

We had over 90 people the other day. Quite a few of those are ...

I do agree with grenadier here. Sounds like this would be a tough sell for lrp but is otherwise good sounding policy.

Grey is pretty Iconic and classic. But the Grey-shirt is in the heart not the color of the jumpsuit. So Rainbow Jumpsuit is just fine too.

As an addition to this thought.

I trust our admin team to act in good faith, and my experience being active on the servers supports that. The idea that admins will suddenly start abusing RPR10 if we adjust it is based on a misunderstanding of how our team actually operates. We don't have ...

Your first campaign was last term and you're back again! Persistence is important so it's good to see you giving it another try.

Last time I asked you about your experiences with balancing your playtime. Are you still maintaining that varied diet of LRP and MRP? If so I'd like to invite you to ...

I have answered the debate threads if you are interested in more of my responses. Feel free to ask me about my responses to them in here and I am happy to address questions.

That makes a lot of sense as usual Timber. I appreciate the Timber posting.
We don’t want RPR10 to be used in a way that just creates unnecessary appeals or confuses players.
In respect to the idea of " If you cannot convince the headmins there is an issue there probably is not an issue" Or it ...

Thanks for the reply Timber.

You make a strong case. Its enough that it does have me questioning my stance. Preventing inconsistent enforcement and ensuring players aren’t hit out back by one admin’s personal take on the rules.
We don’t want an individual admin deciding on the fly to override ...

"Should a player expect the possibility to be removed from the round when they are killed?"

Yes. Even on MRP, any death from an antagonist could lead to Round Removal. If you mess with somebody badly and enough times they might even be justified to round remove you as a non-antagonist. Its ...

I think Rule 4 is fine.
An important aspect of being "The Bad Guy" is the ability to do whatever you want. Barring obvious no cross lines like Rule 8. When you are "The Bad Guy" You are not obligated to act with a morale code.
If any changes to rule 4 were needed for just MRP. An MRP rule could do ...

"- Should the rules be reinforced more to the letter rather than the spirit? Do you feel that enforcement is either too lax, too strict, or maybe just right?"

This question has a lot to the answer I think. A common thing when an admin asks for some help with a situation in bus and for other ...

My opinion on this is a bit complicated but the summary is: Some of them

I like the whole human only and Asimov AI part of the roleplay scenario. I think it creates good stories. There are implications to what sort of company Nanotrasen is and how they conduct their business because of how they ...

Hello, TG!

It's me, Xzero314. I've been part of the admin team for just under a year now, and I believe I'm worth considering for your vote.

Before recent events, admins had access to statistics comparing our activity levels. The last time I was able to see these stats, I was the second most ...

Personally do not think there is any issue with round start Malf AI on MRP. Purged Ais plasma flooding too much vs Round start malf ais are two different things for one, and with the recent PR to make purged ais less common from Ion storms this seems like a non issue to me. Its not a bad thing for a ...

Thanks for the Reply. Thinking back I believe it is also part due to the wording of my ahelp. It was more directed at the interferes than the main instigating assistant. I also remember one of my ahelps getting cut off for yapping too much and hitting the character limit. I dont want to see anything ...

Manuel Round 250085
xzero314(Barry Brittle)
Dunham

The Summary of this is I think Dunham did not do that great a job enforcing the rules in a ticket I made yesterday in round 250085 on Manuel.

So the story goes:
I was on my Security Officer character Barry Brittle. I asked an assistant that was ...

I would be fine with having this note expire if you appeal the relevant antag ban yes. If that settles all of your issues we can consider this resolved then?

Hey Jake. So I think this note is pretty reasonable on my end.

I didn't think it would be fair to ban you over a breach of your antag ban caused by the system not working as intended. Since the situation did come up where you were made antag by conversion I thought it best to leave the note so ...

Please keep drones out of atmos and engineering.

Alright! Since we have come to an agreement the note will be edited and the duration reduced. I appreciate your responses. I do empathize quite a bit. Sillicon laws are not easy to roleplay around. Even for people that have English as a first language, so if you have English as an extra language I ...

"I want correct the mistake, I said ";m not your slave if you are aware" to the trillum (subverting player after he pulled me said something like "let's go to engi", visible in logs), the first one said to a bystander walking on that very same hallway"

This looks to be factual from ...

Ok sorry for the delay. I spent a while thinking about this last night after going over all the logs and the a-helps.

I am going to go over some of the events in order. I would like your input about a couple of things which I will get to here.

So an important point is that you did always have ...
