As a person who does not play assistant, and does not particularly like assistant players, I feel that to some respect the assistant cap is counterproductive.
With the current cap of 5, assistant is filled at roundstart, and it's exclusively filled by 2000 hour assistant mains whenever there is any ...

Re: [MRP] Remove spy from the config
Spy relies on the fact that the antag is valid and the expectation that people will validhunt too much for Manuel. People don't even report these antags a lot of the time, unless they happen to steal something you particularly cared about that you can't easily replace. Because people don't validhunt ...

Management of the config and the role of policy discussion in config in 2025
Hi there, I couldn't think of a better place to ask this question. In the past, as I understand it, the /tg/station config was private, and it was generally managed by the head admins.
