Lord forgive me for this boringville take but: Current consequences seem severe enough to me. The lesson is taught and everyone has their fun. In teaching the lesson tho, sometimes the whole thing feels a little immersion breaking. I don't think we need to take it even deeper

Admins are members of the community and should be free to engage with it. If some aspect of the community is so problematic that admins aren't allowed to engage with it, then it needs to be changed anyways.

I think Peanut threads are an invitation for negative dialogue about the players and admin ...

Ready for it, deep breath, fill up the void
Eyes, open them up, take off the coins
Still stingin' from tears, they try to see you
I'm ready for earth, ready for real
Solipsistic, admit it, I see you there
So it seems, so you seem
I can't tell if your image is just a flare
In my dreams, in my dreams ...

Yeah, I know I'm a king

We could reword this as either a corollary of rule 4 or a rule 1 precedent. Possibly both, since this would apply to all players, not just antags.

The issue is that there's no way to do this and it not have to somehow directly relate to rule 4, since players would go "rule 4 says I can do ...

I finished ’The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida’, really good book. Highly recommend Reading this one. Its pretty funny at times but in general it speaks on very heavy topics. If you care about awards it won the booker price 2022.

Its about a photographer who dies in the Sri Lankan civil war and now ...

Back on the reading train for the first time since... middle school? Feels awesome.

I finally managed to read LOTR in its entirety. It was a bit painful at times, but ultimately worthwhile. Tolkien can be a bit too ponderous for my taste but he really is an excellent writer, I feel there's a lot ...

I wouldn't mind a (hard) filter, but won't advocate for doing so since the argument seems a little absurd to me. Personally I stopped using the word after hearing someones personal account and recognizing it as needlessly hurtful. In line with that, bluefox, you might have more success in reducing ...

I dislike this idea. Silicons aren't airlocks, they are players, and their enjoyment should be considered. Also, I think this change sort of violates the heart of the security/silicon dynamic.

That is, harm-happy officers are more likely to run into trouble with silicons. If we then enable said ...

I've only ever been interested in a choice few things, so I have no advice when it comes to the sort of decision paralysis involved with competing interests.

Assuming you do focus on a manageable number, I find it extremely important to remove distractions and create an environment for yourself ...

We allow assistants (and anyone, really) to robust sec if they can get away with it. And that's fine, but Aiding and Abetting absolutely should be an instant jump to lethals.

Cool thread

I like writing, working out, and playing poker. I also have this really cool past time where I practice guitar every day but don't get any better - proud of that one! In general i like just exploring music too and listening to it whenever

Been out of the gym for a minute due to illness and the holidays, and unsurprisingly saw a significant loss of gains. It sucks but fine, whatever. I've been lifting long enough to learn to enjoy the process more than the results. My NEW gripe is how GD hungry I am. Like I was getting away with 3 ...

I think the ideal role for security is to act as peacekeepers as opposed to enforcers or a militia. In practice that means both curbing antags as necessary as well as settling crew disputes, but not just fulfilling a quota. All I see this policy as doing is slightly shifting security from a milita ...

The ling counter to batons is their extensive toolkit. Ranged disarm/grab, EMP, disorient, changing identity, speed boost, biodegrade, remove restraints - you have a lot of options. If you are that worried about batons, don't blow your cover. Also, I like the idea of adding more gimmicky stuff to ...

But then again: how much is this is an actual problem?

It's not. there's always gonna be people happy to waste their time endlessly debating policy (saying this as a fellow time waster), you can't make them not do that, everyone has that random thing or two that they care about. the winning ...

I like the idea but hugs and dorsi both make good points. If it's difficult to moderate and the bar to disguise yourself isn't that high, then why bother? That being said, I'm curious how this would work as a sort of opt in preference system, similar to how the yes/no erp thing works on skyrat I ...

+1 to shifting (written) team antag expectations from not harming their team to actually contributing something. I also much prefer your phrasing of "act like an antag get treated like one". Don't particularly care for the rest of your grammatical/phrasing changes to rule 4 but I do admit they're ...

Looking at RP rules, I'd prefer if 5 and 9 never touch LRP. I also think we could do without 7. Rule 4 from the base ruleset should absolutely not be touched imo.

Explanations:

RP 5 & Base 4: Specifically, I don't ever want to see a Sybil/Bagil (should it regain pop) where murderboning isn't ...

wesoda25

I think this is perfectly reasonable and fair expectation to place upon players from any server. I highly doubt it will somehow compromise the "spirit of LRP" or whatever subjective thing people have been larping about. In most scenarios it simply places the burden of communication (God forbid) on ...

Managed to crack an 8 minute pace for my half which marks the first measurable progress I've seen since HS. The race was a total blast but it did sort of kill me physically and emotionally for a couple days, oh well! I think for once I might take advantage of the foundation I've built up and sign up ...

I find the whole concept of weight-lifting "muscle memory" really interesting. Do you bounce back faster because you have better form + a greater ability to push yourself to true fail than when you started, or is it because the biology of your muscles has permanently changed?

Find a buddy to go with to show you the ropes + make it less scary. A trainer to show you proper form is also a really good idea.

Got a half later this month. Maybe this time I will actually continue running after achieving my goal... (it wont happen). By ultrarunning do you mean those crazy marathon+ distance races?

I've been getting back into the gym recently after taking a break from ultra running for a bit. Going in three days a week now and just kind of doing all the weight machines to get a feel for where I am and what I should be progressing towards. I know I need to go a bit heavier on pulling vs ...

A map means more on low/dead pop because you could end up there for hours. Power to the players; if the majority don’t want to play, for whatever reason, then so be it.

Unless there’s an ongoing pattern of play2win behavior I think this sort of thing should be left IC. There’s so many potentially valid reasons for taking the rod that I question what actual use you would even get out of a ruling here. Admins should use their discretion (while erring on the side of ...

Greenlighting a method of saying the word, if only for antags, falls short of what it meant to achieve I think. The community can’t exactly police itself if they have to worry about the burden of proof.

wesoda25

Saying "ligger" making you valid is an elegant solution until it's not. Thus another argument in favor of just hard filtering the word. Short of that, soft filter would help admins in policing this sort of thing

Hi thrax, nice to see you running!

Since you mentioned training, I’d like to ask what your philosophy is regarding it. What values and lessons do you emphasize for candies, and how do you go about teaching them? Also, what are your standards for new admins? What do you like to see in applicants ...

Also -1 on your appeals idea. headmin workload is presumably the problem with response times, I don't think adding something else to the docket will really help much of anything.

As the title clearly states, I’m curious to see you guys dissect an event from this last term. It could be a ruling, a ban, a config change - whatever. It doesn’t even have to be something that the headmins got involved in.

Snail or tortoise racing is probably ok, and funny.

Wow, I didn’t think my opinion of horse girls could get any lower
