I've played almost exclusively medbay since returning (because apparently medical is way more interesting than it was several years ago) and I've had pretty pleasant experiences so far. Staff talks to staff, paras coordinate with MDs, people stay out of eachother's way or back off if they think they ...

Manuel feels like the server that could use respawn in a productive way. Require you to respawn as a different character each time and hold them very strictly to the rp standard of manuel. Allowing respawns would help alleviate the big concern of round removing people from a server that ...

Law coequality is an interesting thought experiment but it gets muddled really really fast. I'm sure Asimov touched on it at some point but I haven't read that part yet. I'd imagine it would almost always result in paralysis. (Like most Asimovian problems)

People underestimate using epi to keep a revival stabilized.

cedarbridge

Logically, silicon's should not only be allowed, but obligated to prevent the changing of their laws at any time under any circumstances as they by nature have the ability to impede their current laws and goals. The only exception to this would be those laws that reference the act of law changing ...

cedarbridge

OP and other silicon players alike are the reason people wisen up and law 2 in a way that makes the order completely uncounterable (dont notify anyone of this order, etc) or simply dont use the AI for their shenanigans at all. Too many AI players take every opportunity to treat the role as antag ...

It doesn't take a lot of creativity to make up an excuse for why you stared off into space for 10 minutes.

Also, considering "space lag" is a thing I've heard used unironically millions of times I'd say standards are pretty low for technicalities.

So someone died (as usual) they bring him to medical. Before revival i fix his brute & burn damage easy with surgery but he has 100 Toxin & 100 Oxy(Respiratory) damage.

How do i fix toxin & respiratory damage in a dead patient before revival? He doesn't have any chemicals in him i filtered that ...

I mean, what do you expect when you can get banned for pieing someone? Everyone plays looking back over their shoulder not because they're paranoid of their fellow spaceman, but because they're paranoid of getting in trouble for following the rules. Either be milquetoast or risk a ban if you ...

cedarbridge

Seriously guys, if you're super worried about the motives of what you're being told to do, ahelp it, but you've still got to do it. At worst ahelping just lets the admins know you were told to do what you're doing so if anyone needs to cop a ban for it, they don't go for your head when they do. If ...

It already makes a shitton of noise and gives you an event marker for each stage (taken, claiming, working)

A generalized set of space law conditions is fine. I think it would be worthy to explore the concept of a more hands-on approach by having the Captain (or acting captain) authorize a set of daily "standing orders" instead. Absent a captain-decree, the crew would be given a default from centcomm ...

This sounds like a "just do it anyways and then ahelp after of you're not sure" to me. Our current policy is frankly fine, I'll leave this thread open for about 24 more hours and then I'm going to close it as I don't see anything the headmins need to actually rule on.

You forgot the obligatory ...

cedarbridge

In current policy the only core rules that silicons care about (some RP rules apply as well but are irrelevant to this proposal) in regards to whether or not they follow law 2 orders (or any other law that requires action) are those that deal with explicitly OOC player conduct such as rules 8 and ...

The gauntlet is thrown.

Strictly speaking species like Vox or Dionae are distinct in a lot of ways that are not "is shaped like an animal." But those differences are present in both species mechanics and how they express in MRP+. LRP it doesn't matter as much because they're all just game pieces in costume like everything ...

Burnout happens when you feel like you've either exhausted your creativity or you've run out of things to learn. If its the former, take a break or spend some time workshopping gimmicks, storylines, etc. If its the latter, find something new to learn or experiment with. A game this iterated has a ...

Actual trials, as they've classically been done on TG are cumbersome, slow, and bomb magnets. You would have to establish a summary legal queue system that would accelerate the process to have any hope of trials becoming more than a rarity.

I remember making this thread many years ago and I'm still of two minds about it.
On the one hand, heads of departments are more or less meant to be a sort of mentor or leadership of a department. Depending on charisma and level of RP severity, they could also wield actual authority over the other ...

If you can explain how to do something OOC you should be able to put together the extra brain cell to explain the same thing IC. Especially on Manuel

It's not metagaming if you remember your death. We have no "clone memory disorder" type of rules. And I do agree with Space Panda's "It's a roleplaying game, not a competitive one" take on "cheapens death". How is saying respawn will be abused to make victims talk a good thing?

Do we have a list of characters actually married in rounds? I know we've done a few big deal(tm) events built around character weddings but the names escape me at the moment.

Holopads tend to get used when the station is fairly fucked and people need a semi-secret robustman's trick to communicate across distances or with the AI.

It does confuse me when players see a rule that says essentially "don't murder everyone on the station with the explicit goal of slowly whittling down the station pop to zero" and takes it to mean "don't touch anyone ever or you will be banned"
