Re: no more ERP
Fucking hell Anon I expected better of you. You are acting really fucking hostile over this for some reason. I have never ERP'd in my life. I probably never will but I dont see the point in banning it when it is hilarious to watch/see.
>It causes distraction
Not really.
>Gives us an undeserved reputation
What? I have never even heard it mentioned when talking about /tg/station.
>Having to ban anyone under the age of 18
I dont see this as a bad thing. Most of my experiences with underage gamers has been poor at best. Especially on something like ss13 that requires people to act out a role. Even though we have moved away from it I still see this as /tg/station. The server that was formed from that 18+ only board on 4chins.
>It causes drama and weird favoritism
Admins shouldnt be ERPing. If you have a problem with favoritism change the rule of metafriending. Drama isnt even worth mentioning since it pales in comparison to any drama caused by mechanics changes to the game.
Please anon I understand you dont agree with us and it may feel like you are getting attacked but some of us just see this as another needless rule shoved on us without any community involvement. Yes this isnt a democracy but treating a community like that WILL drive off players. HG handled this poorly by just slamming a global thread up with this announcement and locking it. He knew it would be controversial or downright hated but rather than deal with us he just locks his thread and fucks off. You seem to be the face of the headmins as you are the only one that is willing to actually talk to us. Yet here I find you getting pissy with us and treating us like badguys because we dont like a rule change that was foisted on us without any discussion or warning. Not to mention it was thrown up around the same time as another controversial rule that players are contesting.
>Pushing your own opinion, that ERP does no harm and belongs here, is EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW. You're so full of shit.
Anon YOU and the other headmins are the one making the change. That means YOU are foisting your opinion on us. Had you asked the community first and gotten approval for this rule change then you would be able to argue that.

Re: no more ERP
You did give a bunch of reasons, but no examples. There isnt much basis for trust here when your motives appear to be personal rather than for the good of the server. As i said, if you can actually provide evidence of ERP destroying the server then id be fine with the change. But hey, if you would rather be passive aggressive and tell me to dealwithit.jpg or leave, then whatever.An0n3 wrote:Alex Crimson wrote:Exactly the kind of response i expected, because its the truth.

Re: no more ERP
It used to happen a lot. Lizard Mario was a big example where an admin was involved. Countless meta-friendships had an ERP component. I have the old forums archived but they're text files so it's a pain to go through, but trust me ERP has been the cause of a lot of controversies.
That doesn't mean it necessarily has to go, but you were asking for "any examples". Maybe it's less of an issue now, I dunno, I rarely play anymore.
I just don't see any purpose to it, at all. If people want to have ironically gross makeouts, there are better places like IRC or Second Life. If people want to actually get their rocks off, there are better places like IRC or Second Life. The only reason to do it here is, well, to do it here. Why does it need to be here, specifically?
Since someone brought up our /tg/ roots, ERPers are like "that guy" who inserts fetishes (even ironically) when everyone else just wants to game and roleplay. Except it's become common and accepted, so it's really not anyone's fault for joining in... But it's still gross and distracting from the actual game. The most mature tabletop gamers use fade-to-black. It acknowledges that sex is a normal thing that happens between people, but spares everyone at the table the awkwardness of sopping holes and tongue gymnastics - which add nothing of value.
(Again, /tg/ is a safe for work board. Adult themes are heavily discussed, but you don't see people actually ERPing or posting full nudity without moderator intervention)
And the 18+ thing is obviously untrue. We've had underage *admins*, I'm sure we still do, and who knows how many underage players. Just because we cover our asses legally doesn't change reality.
Flirting, kissing, backrubs, I'm sure that stuff is all fine still (though watch the meta-friendships). Just don't do anything you wouldn't do at a table of 16-year-old DND players. Even if they say they're 18 and *wink*. Fuck, I didn't mean to make the situation that disturbing, but it's basically what is happening.

I'm sure there's a lot of things you think are parts of normal RP and normal relationships we don't want to see happen on the server.
Like Rolan said we're not trying to prevent you from goofing around with other players, just telling you to take it somewhere more private than the server.
It bears repeating but you can easily roleplay having a relationship or feelings for another spessmen without trying to fuck them. How often do you go outside and see people wandering around their places of business fucking the shit out of eachother because they just care so deeply about one another? You guys need a reality check, ERP is bottom-tier in terms of roleplay and acting. How many major motion pictures and plays have you seen in the last decade that had to include graphic sex scenes in order to get the point across that "these two characters are in love"?
The excuse that "it's natural because we care about eachother" doesn't work here.

Re: no more ERP
Anon here's the thing.
You guys fixed a non-problem. ERP wasn't a problem, it isn't as common as people make it out to be and when it happens it's fucking hilarious.
It allows me to do stuff like:

and
https://soundcloud.com/colonicacid/erplogs
(thank maccus for the voiceovers niggas)
Heck I would say making fun of ERPers IC and OOC is part of our servers culture, compare it to other places we have it pretty damn controlled. This was a fix to a non existent problem and all you are doing is limiting our choices for no reason.

Re: No More ERP {Discussion}
See:

Dunno what you're talking about. Things were heated and personal before I even got here. Surely there are some folks in this thread who need to calm it down. I mean come on, coming from the guy who said:deathhoof wrote:I think hg and anon3 need to stop browsing tumblr and remember the /tg/ principles on which this server was founded.
tl;dr "if I don't like rules or get an explanation I like I"m just going to break them until I get banned"As announced in game, I will start to ignore this policy starting 16/12/2014 17 East time if not one of the head admins that made the rulling clarifies my questions, This doesn't means I will inmediatly go and ERP, I haven't since I created this account, I doubt I will, but I won't held the policy in between of my freedom to roleplay any good damn I want to in a roleplaying game. I will of course, follow all of the other rules that had been presented in a concise and complete way, like the antagonist mass murderboning set by SoS was and all the other rules presented so far.

But we also shouldn't take anything you say seriously?
You get a free pass to say whatever, and if I or any other admin starts to get equally involved it's a problem?
Does it not suddenly make a lot more sense why the cleanest, best way of doing things from our pespective, with what you just said on the table, might not be just making an announcement and then dropping the mic?
You've kind-of hit the nail on the head of what a no-win situation trying to talk anything over with people lately has turned into, and why you've been hearing (and will probably continue to hear) with an ever increasing frequency answers like "This is how it's going to be end of conversation" stonewall type responses.
I could suddenly decide to make the absolute worst ruling I could think of, and the folks who'll likely earn the most enmity for it are the ones who stick around and try to explain it to people.

Re: no more ERP
I think you are lashing out again, you are an intelligent person and I refuse to acknowlodge that you don't know what I mean.
An admin is a figure people look up to, it's a representant of the server, as you have the power to decide for the server, things like name calling and overly passive agressive attitudes reflect poorly on the reputation of the server, for the same reason it's a worse crime when an admin lies in adminhelps or an admin uses a flamethrower in a crowded area when not playing an antag. Since one of the reasons you are banning ERP it's a reputation factor, you should at least see where I come from this, of course I don't get a free pass for my actions, Saegramir has made it pretty clear I lost my warning chance if I ever ERP, wich is of course, reasonable, considering the gravity of my statement.

Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, the reason you get so much resistance when you try to change things, is because the community doesnt want it changed? If this were polled, and the majority of players agreed that ERP should be banned, then most of us would be fine with it. But you didnt do anything like that. You decided upon it yourself.
Have you ever thought that maybe people are pissed because the headmin they elected is screwing them with his unwanted policy changes, has no desire to actually listen to the community and whos end response to an argument is "if you dont like it you are welcome to leave"?

Re: no more ERP
You opened the thread by stating that
without any evidence or context. Is that allegation not immediately "treating people like shit"?I feel this is just a "Ban free" card for any admin that has a grudge on a player.
It's actually not that much resistance, it just seems like a lot sometimes because I actively go out and confront it head on rather than just hiding out and waiting for things to go over. You might be surprised to hear it but there are currently plenty of people happily playing on the server and not ERP'ing with eachother. If you go back and read the early pages of the thread, you'll find a few people who even stopped doing so long enough to come in here and say "this is a good idea thanks for getting rid of this" etc. The Community is a large and nebulous thing and I'm as much a part of it as you are.

Re: no more ERP
The reason behind that allegation is becouse of the nature of an ambigious rule, under the hands of people with motives less than noble, could be have used it for such a purpose, that's why I used ' I Feel' and not 'this is clearly'. Remember that admins are people, and as such, not all of them are perfect beings.
But yeah, now that we are talking like civilized people, and you even got here, placed your face and even clarified some things, I will wait and see, maybe we even get better roleplaying out of this, who knows.
But please communicate with us like you did, things like what happened it's just, embarassing, and in my opinion don't do good on the community as a whole.

You arnt not confronting anything. You are pretending to listen when you have no intentions of actually listening or changing your mind. The server is very happy right now. Hell, i was on there having fun watching the Thunderdome event. The server will be perfectly fine with this rule and very little will change. The same is true if you removed it, which is where the issue is. Its not a policy that ever needed to happen in the first place.An0n3 wrote:It's actually not that much resistance, it just seems like a lot sometimes because I actively go out and confront it head on rather than just hiding out and waiting for things to go over.

I've never ERP'd, but what is the point of the 18+ server rule anymore then? As "low" a form of RP it may be, these people ARE rolling with whatever you guys throw at them. Yes, maybe their players are poorly developed as they are just "hyoooge slutz xDDD", but they are roleplaying in a roleplayin game that came from a roleplaying community that has text adventures. That's more than what could ever be said for the massive amount of powergamers who don't give two fucks about immersion or player experience. How shitty or distasteful it may be, they aren't as selfish as half of the people who play here, and while a few may not like it, they improve the experience for a lot of us.

You just can't actually justify keeping ERP around. Other servers get along without it just fine. We've already been told that flirting and affection will still be allowed. Just follow /tg/ tradition: Roleplay mature scenarios, maturely.

Re: no more ERP
It's the latter. As our desire to have cool new things that are only "our things", in a world where everyone is increasingly sensitive to them, we have to keep inventing and abandoning things more rapidly to maintain our status as "cool hunters".nsos wrote:I think we have entered the era of the internet micromeme- memes that are not designed to have any lasting power, but instead to have a short yet highly potent life before quickly fizzling out.
The true question, now, is this: is our tolerance of memes so high we need them produced exponentially faster, or is the quality of our memes deteriorating?
It's not that the memes are built to self-destruct it's that we are learning to hate things as old as soon as we learn of them as a preventative measure, just in case we're late to it and to give everyone else the impression that "Oh I've known about this FOREVER it's SO OLD"

The only reason I don't like this is because I've seen 'being creepy' construed as forceful ERP, especially with dead bodies. I don't know if those were just bad decisions in the past or if kissing a corpse you just murdered on the forehead is going to get you extra hard banned now, but more rules never reads to me well.
Other than that, I will miss the hilarity of walking in on ERPers doing the nasty when the entire station thinks someone's being murdered in the bathroom because bolts are locked.

If this is true, it should be added to the rules-page.Saintish wrote:sos told me erping is allowed in the PDA chatroom
i'm satisfied, guys
Right now it just says "8. Erotic Roleplay is not allowed. Consensual ERP should be done elsewhere. Unwelcome ERP will be punished with a permaban.", which is apparently not the whole truth.
Also, just a few simple questions to draw the line so I won't be outright permabanned for being careless, can I:
- 1. Hug someone?
2. Wink at someone?
3. Kiss someone?
4. Do it "ironically" as the clown, just to get people laugh, e.g. extending my banana, petting it furiously and throwing a banana pie before me while yelling "UUNNFFFF"?

I've never understood this. Is there some constant meta humor going on here when two nerds fuck in the dorms or whatever? I mean yeah, proboscis blowjobs, sure, but then again holy shit proboscis blowjobs.An0n3 wrote:I wasn't seriously ERP'ing!

Re: no more ERP
Its nonsensical to treat a trial rule differently from a a non-trial rule. Players in this thread have several times made comments "Its just a trial so I'll do it and just get unbanned when the trial's over" etc etc. The onyl way these types of rules differ is that there is a stated possibilty of a repeal for one type of rule at a later date. This is not to say the rule WILL be repealed after the trial but rather that it may or could be repealed. When discussing its application and non-application it makes sense to just discuss it as "a rule" without qualifiers.Violaceus wrote:An0n3, you speak about it as permament rule.
Then why it was named a 'trial'?

Re: no more ERP
No, you cant justify removing it. The best evidence you can find is a bunch of metafriends who happen to ERP. Hardly server destroying, and its not like metafriends are exclusive to ERP. Any kind of RP will form metafriendships. Its not like people were actually getting off on ERP. Its just for fun. Hell, usually its the most well-done RP interactions of the server. Not a bunch of teenagers with raging hormones.Rolan7 wrote:That's ironic. You asked for "any example" of ERP damaging the server, and I pointed one out. I mean, you were obviously blowing smoke... Even new players have heard of the famous ERPers and the disruptions they caused.Alex Crimson wrote:You arnt not confronting anything. You are pretending to listen when you have no intentions of actually listening or changing your mind.
You just can't actually justify keeping ERP around. Other servers get along without it just fine. We've already been told that flirting and affection will still be allowed. Just follow /tg/ tradition: Roleplay mature scenarios, maturely.

It's not that we can't justify it, it's that you plug your ears and refuse to acknowledge any of the points we make.

Re: no more ERP
If you really think its for the good of the server, then rather than just implementing the rule, how about making a poll and asking the playerbase beforehand? Im sure you know how to make a poll and put it in announcements. If its for the good of the server, then im sure everyone will agree with you.

To be fair it almost sounds like you want ss13 to be any kind of mature which it never ever will be

Re: no more ERP
If you can justify us being the only server which allows erping, you're welcome to do so. Or just keep trying to make this a players-vs-admins thing... Definitely a safer strategy.Alex Crimson wrote:If you really think its for the good of the server, then rather than just implementing the rule, how about making a poll and asking the playerbase beforehand?

It was the evidence you specifically asked for... I thought you just didn't know but sure enough you actually didn't care.Alex Crimson wrote: No, you cant justify removing it.

Why do you keep saying nobody gets off on it? That's wrong AND irrelevant.
> Metafriendship can't be controlled and ERP is the best RP

Re: no more ERP
Players vs admins? I havent made it into anything. I have no say in policies or any power over the community. The 3 out of 4 headmins(i assume its 3/4 because you included SoS?) that voted for banning ERP without asking the playerbase are the ones who made it "players vs admins". Yeah im totally the bad guy for wanting the community to have a say in this.

Yes, that will show him for having a different opinion! How dare the PLAYERS think they are supposed to have any say in SS13 policies, who do they even think they are being the cause the game is alive in the first place!An0n3 wrote:Our server, our rules.

You're the reason the game is alive? Is that why you were permabanned from assistant? You just contribute too much to the game?

Re: no more ERP
You know he meant the playerbase, not him specifically. Are we really resorting to pulling notes and ban history here? Whats next, banning anyone who doesnt agree with your policy?

I will follow it. Im not much of a rule breaker, and by all means check notes if you want. Doesnt change the fact its a bad rule and your methods are wrong.

you want a legitimate reason for removing ERP? look at the thread. everybody is getting irate, admins included, over virtual dicks
i hope you fags realize that the more serious you take this 2d butt-punching simulator the less fun it gets for everybody. and yes I am being a hypocritical shit about this but still

The community is, not few dicks trying to ruin the fun for others.
Also tell me more, don't recall that. And why the personal attacks suddenly? Got a bad ERP experience?
