im sorry mister september 2024 but ive genuinely never experienced any of this. you are also misinterpreting policy egregiously in many parts of this post that indicates that you dont have as much experience as you claim to. nobody's ever made me get a gun permit, ive never been bwoinked for self defense or having powerful loot. you understand that section 2 of the roleplay rules specifically indicate that they are for situations where you say break into a department to steal something and then kill everybody who tries to kick you out right? i think you may want to work on your reading comprehension before you play any more of a text heavy game such as space station 13

Cool that you feel that way. Sorry to burst your bubble but everything I described happened to me in game, which invalidates the entire premise of your dismissive argument, since you seem to be insinuating that because you haven't personally experienced it, that it isn't real(lol).

And to be 100% clear on the second point I made, this occurred in public halls, not in a department. Its funny that you're trying to criticize me but you're actually criticizing the admin who bwoinked me.

So in conclusion: it's probably you who can't read properly(accusing someone of the crime you yourself are guilty of? *GASP); my initial point about you being nuts stands; and for some reason you believe that if something hasn't happened to you anecdotally, then it doesn't exist and it's somehow my fault? Yeah, you're nuts. Worse: you are not engaging in good faith.

Imagine coming to the SS13 forums for the first time and finding this thread lol

Imagine coming to the ss13 forums, being totally new to the game and finding the wallening thread.

"It will get merged, you don't have a choice, and it's not really that big of a deal."

You already said that, calm down my dude. Look at the dancing skull kid.

I was wrong about the wallening. Am I also wrong in saying the best course of action to Sybil having constant lowpop, while Terry and Manuel are fine, is to actually play there and have fun instead of antagonizing fellow players?

This thread has really just devolved to Sybil people crying over the death of Sybil and blaming everything but themselves for the death of it. I checked out of it when it seemed like it started going into circles and people actually stopped listing valid reasoning's for its pop dying.

The best thing we can do now is try and rebuild the server by coming up with new ideas instead of blaming mrp or whatever. A tightening of the rules on Sybil could probably help with its pop issues as I know a lot of Sybil people came over to manny because of people playing antags in the most unfun ways possible. Disallowing heads of staff from rolling antag might also help with the balance of the game. lowpop head of staff antag rounds are very bad for the game as it just becomes a free win because they have all the gear and access.

Assuming this were true I don't have a problem with MRP servers to begin with I just think the codebase has an MRP mentality lately when I think MRP admin policies are already adequate.

It should also be noted that mimepride has 5000 rounds on the servers. I don't think it's fair to characterize him as September 2024. Forum registration date does not equate experience and you are overestimating the importance of the forums in this matter.

i do wonder where all these people (Rose, Colby Howe, Yuri Pavlov, etc..) i knew when i still played lowpop kilostation went?
they were pretty great and even Colby Howe griefing me every round was decent i suppose
i miss kilostation. unmaintained and all but it was a great map
also problem is that apparently maintainers dont like to account for lowpop despite its usually by their doing that it went there

if you really were talked to by an admin for defending yourself, post the ahelp and prove it lol

Second: If I, the player, am attacked by a crew member while wearing said loot, even if I save them from being chainstunned by a head of staff with a baton, even if I remain totally still and non-hostile as this unjust attacker is whacking me, should I attempt to retaliate while dressed in space pirate loot(gotten from space, not from antags) under the misapplication of RPR 2, I cannot defend myself and must submit myself to the very high RP task of letting myself be crit/killed by the person I quite literally saved from being griefed. This shit never happens on LRP. No LRP admin with their head screwed on straight would ever rule against you, the defender and non-aggressor, in a conflict like that. On MRP they will and have.

Not doubting you, but can you please provide examples of this?

i'd rather we stop deleting antags and guns than "just play mrp lol" it's not the same experience at all

play on sybil before its empty soil gets overtaken by a raving party of europeans or something

I really shouldn't be indulging you, but I will just to spite you:

2024-05-17 02:25:22 | Manuel | Round 228980 | Xzero314 | 2048h Living Playtime

On MRP. As a non-antagonist assistant dressed in pirate EVA gear, involved themself in a fight. After being mistaken for a pirate and attacked, they responded by attacking back with lethal lasers. From RPR2 you void the right to escalate to lethal self-defence if it is employed reasonably by the wronged party.

I gave my account of what happened in point #2 upthread. @StabbyStab was there too and can back me up on this. Also wanna say that the note is poorly worded and doesn't give an account of the whole situation. I remember it almost perfectly so I can summarize exactly what happened in point form.

Not doubting you, but can you please provide examples of this?

I am so confused. I literally did in my post. Anyhow, see above.

Just wanna point out that I still want to appeal this note but I am still conflicted on if/when I want to devote the energy to an appeal. After this note, I stopped playing on Manuel for anything other than observer roles where I know I won't get bwoinked for dumb shit. And people DO get bwoinked for dumb shit on Manuel daily, which is my #1 reason for not playing MRP(and I'm still scared that my antics of being a mean comms agent will eventually get me a rule 1 ban despite me being a type of antagonist), and which leads into this post:
I already addressed your point about losing pop to Manuel upthread. You didn't address those points--not my issue really. Terry is still the community's most popular server, and that's LRP. Why then, did Sybil decline? Oh right...I provided convincing explanations early on in the thread which run counter to your own monolithic logic...

As for "blaming mrp"--I assume its directed at me because of my post last page. I don't hold Manuel responsible for Sybil's decline(you certainly do though), what I WAS doing, was taking issue with a bullshit statement "ok have any of you guys actually played on the MRP server like its basically indistinguishable from the LRP servers" and correcting them on it. Its unfortunate when MRPers bait me into arguments, and then I get accused of bitching about MRP and how it ruined LRP when I attempt to correct them on their totally misguided and bullshit views.

Anyhow Jeremy, I'm glad you feel comfortable on MRP and enjoy it--I don't. Whenever I play anything other than a Xeno, blob or Spider I feel like I'm walking on egg shells because of the overbearing administration hanging over my head. You always assume that the transfer from LRP to MRP goes one way...Well, I'm living proof that people go from MRP to LRP too. I left Fulp for a reason.

so what you're saying is to save sybil we need to make it MRP

This is more or less the only thing I think Sybil needs at the moment. Can't really do much more than that.

Now I just have to somehow fix Sybil.

You may not like to hear this, but fax machines are still required under some situations.

Or are you saying facts.

Iunno if recent or total playtime (on tg during recorded periods) says much compared to whether or not a person has a decent bit of insight from either a historical or broader perspective, being 'involved' in the community itself. We've got a lot of folk still around not playing terribly often, but might be involved in other ways, or involved on other servers.

I mean, Timberpoes doesn't play or exist outside of admin channels and either the Player's Club or FNR when he's headmin or close to headmin elections so this rings true.

So true!

I quickly learned as a MRP player that literally everything is our fault, we're behind the code changes they disagree with, we're behind a grand conspiracy to kill LRP, we're the reason why the toilet lid wasn't put down correctly, etc. As soon as I got 30 hours of playtime without a note on MRP I was abducted by the felinid HRP cabal and was made a sleeper agent along with the rest of manuel to eventually rise up in revolt and crush the innocent LRP players. The felinid HRP metagang is real and the headmins are just a figurehead to the council of the ERPers.

joking aside I don't entirely disagree that I can see how issues arise of having a primarily MRP sourced admin and headmin team when it comes to the wellbeing of LRP rulesets and the like. As for the concern of it primarily being a MRP coderbase or whatever, there's really nothing that can be done about that (if it's even true) because, at least as long as I've been here, the idea of having PRs be accepted or denied on MRP and LRP separately has always been a nonstarter because understandably it's a really bad idea in terms of the ease of maintaining stuff because it'll only get worse as time goes on.

The context of my statement matters, it was in response to someone trying to bigleague said 5,000 round player for only registering on the forums on September 2024. I would take rounds connected over forums registration date as a metric every time. As oranges said only banned players and complainers are on the forum anyway.
But I suppose access to recorded rounds and things like number of played rounds are an exploit and since that has been patched out, in a few years time we'll have no publicly accessible information concerning who might actually have credibility concerning gameplay experience. But that won't change forum registration date as a really dumb angle of attack against someone, it'll just be less easy to criticize that angle because everyone will be equally ignorant at that point.
Why did tg remove that feature by the way?

the real reason LRP is dying is because we've run out of unemployed community members

maybe covid killed off the sybil players because they're old boomers.

Have you considered that instead of being intentionally removed it just broke? cause that's what happen. Parsed logs, the source that scrubby uses to get that info, have been broken for the past few months.

I am not a noble savage geratric, i like new scenes, i get stuck in with all sorts of roleplay and am flexible shooting and chatting complex backstories for myself on SS13.

One extra reason to break it down why i still wouldn't play /tg/ if the choice of server was removed, importantly is that your concept of MRP is boring a copy template of LRP classic, and more personally from everything I know and perceive, admins still too intrusive to the player space to be impartial. There's very little more than that why id prefer classic /tg/ lrp over modern /tg/ MRP. I can atleast say other servers put in a lot more effort on the front to be distinctly novel, perhaps your energies should have been all in on the abandoned planetstation concept for the MRP experience.

Edit - just touched up my post, tiredwriting, oh so tiredwriting.
