I wasn't addressing you specifically cobby I'm sorry if it came across that way. I was talking more to the OP. I'm not actually in support of this, I think the paths to rejoining are very plainly laid out and I never want to see anyone who has been legitimately blacklisted just arbitrarily unbanned ...

I mean, there aren't that many instances where someone who was permabanned and honestly wanted to come back in good faith wouldn't have the means of doing so if there was reason to believe they have reformed.

If you are talking about the people permabanned/blacklisted because they actively were ...

Seems like a good soft filter candidate.

Everyone who is suggesting code solutions are missing the point of what I am trying to explain. These solutions will be circumvented, and it will never be sufficient. Nothing anyone has suggested will be evergreen. This has to be solved via policy, and if it isn't solved via policy, I wouldn't be ...

In the last related thread to this, the conclusion was to resolve this via code problems: https://forums.tgstation13.org/viewtopic.php?t=38071

Since this was deemed a codebase problem, I'm here to say that I think this is not a reasonable or fair decision as there are no reasonable or fair means by ...

It's definitely one of those weird points where I think it's a good idea for everyone to be on the same page as to who and what is human. I'm personally all for infused humans benefiting from the set bonus to be considered nonhuman. Similar to hulk and so on.

Just ahelp people doing it. Iunno if this is something you can really encounter super reliably however since the ruin's spawn and location and even presence on a valid map is down to RNG.

To that extent, how much it is a consistent issue is equally uncertain to me.

Uwumi got recently told off for using a single name, she been using that name for 2 years where is the line drawn between A player who doesn't have enough IC reason vs a player who have been "Grandfathered" into it being ok

They should appeal it if it was ever put into their notes.

We should ignore Ned's weirdly spiteful and anti-roleplay hot take and maintain current policy. Because poor names are not nearly as frequent a problem as many people make them out to be (or to justify the frequency that name policy threads show up), and it is an overblown issue whose crackdown ...

If a cooldown is intolerable, I simply do not agree with any code change to worsen pointing as a communication method for the reasons I already mentioned. This should stay a policy issue. I very much do not think making parts of the game worse to combat low bar players is a sustainable solution.

I'd encourage players to report instances of OOC in IC like this and encourage admins to action it.

But I'd feel bad. I don't want to get people noted or banned unless they are straight-up griefing.

You cannot have your cake and eat it too. The filter is not that kind of automoderator tool ...

Unfortunately, adminning is volunteer, so there is nothing that compels people to keep a regular schedule or for the team to mandate periods of coverage. There is also as much possibility that people up at odd hours are Australian like me may even be playing the game themselves. Lowpop can get a bit ...

My code-solution to this was to make pointing less accurate at longer ranges. You could point at something near you no problem, but pointing across the screen would be wildly inaccurate and could mean anything - just like real life.

So long range pointing would always need some sort of words to ...

If anyone fed up with SS13 left for SS14, I'm not sure how long they even would stay playing there. They don't play much differently, and it is still pretty much the same experience for the most part.

I think Cobby is correct. People may either be shuffling out of our server to downstreams ...

The only thing I ask is that no balance change be made to the game generally when trying to balance for blob.

A good change for blob would be increase a blob tiles defenses or giving more tools for blobs to defend themselves with. These are changes specific to blob.

A bad change for blob would be ...

I find service borgs to be a really weird one since they're actually bartender borgs until upgrades. That's not really an entire department, but that is kind of how service exists; interconnected in ways that aren't terribly straightforward (but that's why I like Service)

I really do think it would ...

Then you will like SS14 I guess.

If you read the rest of my post, ekat, it does not work as proposed.

(Though I think any department ban should include a captain ban tbh)

tbf a captain taking over the functions of a department they're jobbanned is considered ban evasion.

I think on Timber's previous term (which incidentally it was when I was admin) I saw at least one guy getting banned for ...

My problem with the proposal has far less to do with the intent, which I already think is a good idea because I already think the roleplay rules are the correct improvements to the base rules and this is just that but specifically for security.

It has a lot more to do with the fact that security is ...

If someone is acting as security, they're held to that standard. That's been the case for a long while. Enough that I think sec bans should include captain bans. (Though I think any department ban should include a captain ban tbh)

so a longformat TG's best hope is a hop to SS14

I'm not so convinced. SS14 does have a stronger engine for the most part, but appears to have some fairly... dubious aspects as well. Weirdly, despite being built out of toothpicks, our features and QoL from a player perspective is significantly ...

Alright. That does appear above board in that regard, though I'd argue then that this may still not be a particularly ideal time to be running events like that.

We're in a transitory period, and we've a lot of players used to a much higher mechanical playstyle that events like this push the ...

Just to be clear, was that in the pre-game lobby?

You can tell the complaint template needs an update because there is a fucking spelling mistake in it.

When and where this incident occurred: Manuel - Round 250261

You know, we actually had a 2019 version of the code running for a bit and it seemed to only really attracted people too it for at most a week. After that, it died off as well. Certainly, going back to it I definitely felt its age and also how little I really cared for all the content there that I ...

Not meant to be aggressive. I am however a little exasperated with having the same response given to me. And having had this conversation at least several times over the years.

Have you read Rule 2? Is random violence for little reason kind of in the same spirit as that or does it only count if there are antags involved? The rule is MEANT to stop metacliques and allow roleplay to occur organically within the round so everyone can participate.

To me, it's basically ...

If they just do it at random in the hallways or in departments because that's all they do, use our servers to fight with their friends because every other serverbase has banned them for it, then we're encountering a problem.

This is explicitly how I would define a 'random chicken fight ...

we're bringing it back. Merging with citmain as we speak

We are seeing like, approaching 100 players for longer periods of the day on the weekend, which is good. But maybe they're here for Manuel in particular, which could b rough if it has hit cap.

Obviously I was the borg in the equation.

The incident took place in birdshot science, and I was getting charged up after having repaired Ordnance from an unfortunate accident involving a can of plasma. I heard breaking and smashing near the front desk, which told me someone was smashing in. I ...

I brought this up in the past but I didn't have a good solution for it . Alternatives seemed in short supply.

Metek had two attempts to create an infrastructure that could enable restricting paramedics, but unfortunately I believe he just ended up not having the time given he now maintains WoD13 ...

How do I like a forum post?

I think it's...okay for security to arrest you for beating up someone over the situation, assuming it isn't the victim orchestrating the situation. Which is basically just baiting at that point. They're a third party that does actually have a job to maintain order, and random assaults kind of fall ...

That is not how our darts work. I am not sure what codebase does this, but it isn't ours.

Riot darts do stamina damage because they are the special type of dart that does stamina damage to everyone. Normal darts do no damage at all unless modified with a pen.

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 ...

I think in the entirety of the last year, I saw it once. It lasted maybe...five minutes before he died to a bolted door.

I regret to inform you that i can do this already with my eyes and everyone being appalling at utilizing code words.

To remove doubt, for the past ~4 years (at least) Chaplains that buy His Grace can use it unrestricted.

The policy thread is purely about someone else that picks up His Grace after it consumes its owner.

Okay, that's a little more specific and actually worth an examination.

Personally, I ...

I'm going to be 250% blunt about this. If there is any restrictions placed on His Grace and its use, we may as well remove it wholesale. And I think that's immensely shit and I would call you a pussy for doing it because you are one (this is a general, unspecified 'you'). But it would be better than ...

Easy response; ghostrole ban them for being a dumbass.

If the argument is taking place with the creators of the AI, then there is obviously a conflict taking place. The secondary AI just unfortunately gets dragged into the mess as the victim. I don't think the primary AI in this case need then necessarily talk it out with the new AI if they've already ...

While it inherently being a secondary AI is not in of itself a source for conflict, which I do agree with, there is so many situations that occur in actual play that make me entirely ambivalent to a primary AI killing a secondary AI if any of the following have occurred;

A) The AI isn't for a ...

I'm not sure I understand how you balance out head of staff starting antag.

Iunno, there haven't been terribly that many executions that I've seen that aren't already backed by the fact that the bad guy in question has employed a considerable amount of lethal force, or things are blowing up so bad that there is no longer room for roleplaying out this interaction.

But I've ...

It is pretty large.in general, but the actual inhabited space isn't particularly large in of itself. Most of the departments are concentrated centrally, and you don't usually have a reason to be on the second level except within your department. A lot of sub departments are even attached to central ...

I very particularly made the Infiltrator effective an AoE attack on sight because of how it hides identity via the Unknown effect, not because it is an antagonist suit. It wasn't to babyproof the suit necessarily, but to discourage poeple putting themselves into the above situation by ticking every ...

Since I made it, the infiltrator suit should make make you valid 100%.

A) Hides your identity. By default, nobody has any reason to believe you are who you say you are.
B) It attacks peoples mood on sight. Severely. So it is actively attacking people around them and actively buffing antagonists ...

Lichdom is going to be awesome, hell yeah (I'm also 30).
