I am pretty sure I didn't treat you like shit when we talked here Anon, you should calm down a bit and come back when you can detach a bit more, it doesn't look like we will get any clarifications on the things we asked, or that the policy will be removed, so, go ahead, take a break, it's hurting the community a lot that a head admin is behaving like that.

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:
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.
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"

And then I would get banned, but I still didn't get you treated like shit, just made an statement for the lack of one.

But yes, both sides need to calm a bit, the problem here is that you are a figure of the server, while we are the mob of players.

So we should listen to you and your opinions because you play here, you're part of the community.
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.

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"?

You opened the thread by stating that

without any evidence or context. Is that allegation not immediately "treating people like shit"?

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. Don't pretend to speak for all of us.

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.

I never claimed to speak for everyone, but i would like a chance for everyone to actually vote on this rather than the headmins just doing it without warning.

>RP game
>no ERP

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.

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.

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 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".

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"

I wonder how long it'll be before we start recycling our own old bullshit as ironic irony. "HEY GUYS IS IT CATURDAY YET?" whatever shit.

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.
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"?

Then why it was named a 'trial'?
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Also, at least in my particular case, I erped thanks to boredoom mostly, believe it or not, one can run out of things to do in game. So could we get more rp oriented fun on badger? The few times skorvold drop by are fun and all, but wee are mostly ignored by the admin base.

It's hypocritical of you to say you're a member of the group "keeping this game alive" when you've had to be reprimanded for you past behavior that severely. If anyone here is guilty of "trying to ruin the fun for others" I would sooner suspect someone with multiple bans for Grey Tiding.

the policy should never have been changed from the 2010-2011 era policy of ERPers caught doing their thing being open season for admins to do whatsoever they wished to them (in game). It resulted in some of the most hilarious moments I've seen on SS13.

But it won't help assess the case.

I believe that being murdered by a changeling who offered you sex to get you alone and uncomunicated is an important lesson in Ss13 as big as closing the canister before removing the plasma tank

So on the erp timeline it went

ADMINS CAN MESS WITH ERP > NO DONT TOUCH PEOPLE WHO ERP > BAN THEY ALL

Go with the old way where admins can mess with them or just go straight up goon and ban all sexual talk and oh wait I know why it's because an ex-goonmin is backing this policy. This just seems like such a huge way of burning your roots "just because".

First they came for the puns in names
and I did not speak out
because I didn't have a pun in my name
Then they came for the mass murderers
and I did not speak out
because I was not an mass murderer
Then they came for the ERPers
and I did not speak out
because I was not an ERPer
Then they came for the players they didn't like
and I did not speak out
because I was not a player they didn't like
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

don't just take these new draconian policy changes sitting down, please. for the sake of the server and it's population

'you don't NEEED to ERP, it's not integral to the gaame! why don't we make it bannable for no reason even though it really doesn't affect anyone that doesn't want it to affect them!


have any of you heard the boiling frog?
please stop and think about what you're doing
this is the longest post i've made in years, because this server and the people inside it matter to me. but when you try and take what people hold near and dear to them away, even if i don't necessarily agree with what it is, you shouldn't just let the powers that be take it away from you because 'it's not right' or 'it's not what we want to brand /tg/station as', 'w-we just want you to learn to role play creatively without whipping your dick out, and you're a faggot if you should be permabanned from the community if you do it! you fucking degenerate!'

but i guess the bottom line is
go back to fucking goon hornygranny you faggot

Even though I don't ERP, hell, this policy is really just pathetic. It doesn't really bother anyone unless its important jobs doing it, and then it would just be the same as them fucking off to space or sitting in the bar the entire round. Or if they do it multiple rounds, which would be the same as not doing anything for multiple rounds.

Personally I found it hilarious, and don't mind people who want private time, as long as they do it in private. I repeat my earlier statement. This is just an elitist policy.

And Anon, no offence. But in the previous page, that one post, and the several after it. Well, it just makes you look like an elite prick who doesn't care about the playerbase at all and just says fuck you to them, even though it may not be true at all.

As a note, the ban on ERP reminds me of this, equally as pathetic: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/a- ... 97174.html

For the record, Bay bans ERP more rigorously than /tg/ ever will.
