It would be trivial to notify the admins whenever someone tries to use the banned word.

Plasma flooding a blob is a maneuver so ill-advised and with such a high risk of killing literally the entire crew that it should be treated the same as using explosives that inflict collateral damage. Which is to say, a bannable offense for non-antagonists if it goes badly for them.

Metek

I'd love to agree with you Dendy but being able to get a "emergent roleplay situation" punch on your "don't get a ban for doing this" ticket can be entirely down to the admin overseeing the situation, or the participants being overseen, rather than on the basis of how engaging the story was or how ...

I think the premise is simple enough for me to outline without making a really long several paragraph post about it; I propose that there be a restructuring of the leadership hierarchy. Instead of having administrators be responsible both for making the rules and enforcing the rules, separate the ...

This is actually already a game mode called revolutionaries, and I'm not even being snarky.

Nanotrasen has a nuke on board and death squads to kill you. You don't get to vote against command, or get a say at all, that becomes a fight or mutiny. Nanoraisin follows a naval command structure of ...

Metek

Alright issue settled as "we'll know it when we see it", apparently

Metek

And that's just starters before getting into any details. It's all in the justification and how the ruleset handles criminals and appropriate sentences.

It's a reasonably significant event I guess, but again for a non antag raises that question of what happened prior to get to that point ...

Metek

I was going off the forum tagline "ask and discuss game policy and conduct". The intent is to ask when this game conduct is appropriately covered by any current policy.

Metek

I think about Will Nodder and Ani Myu a lot.

If security has a valid reason to inflict the penalty of being hit by it on you then there's no reason why they can't use it. If they don't have a valid reason then there's no reason why they can use it

What are the valid reasons that a security officer would be excused to subject you to being ...

Assume no, you are hit with the tram and subsequently left to thug it out under the tender mercy of fate.

There's nothing special about the tram to demand special policy.

Possible decapitation. Massive quantity of level 2 and 3 wounds almost guaranteed. No guarantee of your body landing somewhere visible.

I was too vindictive in retaliating against a Sec Officer for goading me after I had gotten stuck in a room with no way out. I'm not posting a ban appeal about the dayban I got for the welding tank thing. I'm asking, in policy, if the officer is then justified to hold me in front of the tram. So ...

Metek

Tram can also decapitate.

Metek

I realize the question is immensely specific but, I had a disagreement with someone about whether or not it would violate any of the security policies so I'm asking; without the leave of the Captain or the Head of Security, is a security officer allowed to arrest you then hold you in front of the ...

Metek

Lowering the frequency of events in general during lowpop would be a godsend. Every lowpop shift is greytide followed by light breaking followed by greytide; half of the station is pitch black or venting to space more often than not, and if you drop what you're doing to fix it, it just happens again ...

Metek

Fair enough. My mistake. There's no problem. I withdraw the complaint unconditionally.

Metek

The main reasoning behind the ban is that we thought that you going so far out of the way to kill Ratman jones was a case of Validhunting. the precedent 1 of RPR 4 reads:
Actively hunting a threat involves seeking out or pursuing that threat outside the bounds of your normal reasonable play area ...

I would segue completely and instead have blob vulnerability to projectiles increase as a given blob tile takes more sustained fire in a period of time then rebound just as quickly; honestly it makes no sense at all for piercing weapons to be able to damage the blob let alone be such a trump against ...

My ckey is Bisar, you can check on Centcom! The cocaine smoke was indeed my bad; I failed at splicing multiver into the gene like I had meant to.

Spy needs to be reworked to only have 1/5 of their rewards be from stealing shit, and the other 4/5 are actual objectives like protect/attack/kidnap/plant a bug on someone/etc.

I think we could benefit from adding a bunch of rune/emoji type symbols that behave in a similar way to pointing. The miner headset had the right idea, just a... not-good implementation, ergonomically.

I understand the intent of naming policy to be in the interest of keeping certain lore and theme characteristics consistent. The arguing that there needs to be a policy crackdown toward the end of nipping "main character syndrome" in the bud seems to be a total left field take that smacks of a ...

I think, instead, there should be a leaderboard and a laggerboard, of who brings in subdued antagonists to Centcomm at round end both least and most often, and it gets included in the round-end report. It serves a concrete datapoint to mock, harangue, and derogate the character of Valid Kill ...

You can pop the cap off normal darts with a screwdriver and insert pens into the darts to do an 'ok' amount of damage, if you can find enough pens. This works for edaggers, too, so you can have a foam force that does ~60 damage to an unarmored person per shot and embeds 100% of the time.

Metek

I understand you don't agree but there's no need to be derogatory.

Metek

I understand that there's a thread proposing that command doesn't get to roll for antagonist outside of conversion. I didn't see anywhere in the thread where there was a complete discussion around having this behavior changed to a station trait instead.

It would be relatively simple to implement as ...

Metek

Move the current behavior where all heads besides Cap and HoS can roll for antag (and a roundstart stun baton and possibly all access) into a station trait instead.

This seems like an acceptable compromise between disabling antag heads (outside of conversion) and keeping the current behavior of ...
