"Our roleplaying standards are not so good rn"

Post by conrad » #775132

What do you think of this sentence that keeps being said all the time? I realize there's already a thread for MRP antags but I didn't think it Christian to highjack it, so if you think you already generally covered this please link your quote and I promise to read it.

For this thread, in general, do you think it's true?

Do you think it's a problem?

If so, what concrete solution do you think is applicable during next term should you be elected or otherwise?
I play the old man Ricky Paxton, and sometimes the borg Z.E.E.P.
Tell me how'd I do here. :hug::beer: 𝒯𝒶𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒶 𝓈𝒶𝒷𝒶𝓉𝒾𝒸𝒶𝓁. :faggot::heart:

I didn't cook with the antag one, but feel free to highjack the MRP antag one because i dont think i worded it too well but i think it gets the point across

While i don't play MRP i think i got some impression talking about a certain situation involving jaws of life with somoene

I think MRP is kinda super loose when it comes to the tideing people kinda free to enter departments and stuff, and usually go out of their lanes by soft powercreep like getting jaws of lifes to make their life easier getting into places, i want you to remind that jaws of life is a tool that opens the door without any hacking and normally requires 3 tools. it also can instantly cut trough handcuffs while this isn't a issue its soft powercreep but it can't be helped since its just the nature of the tool. but when people trespass into departments and such security doesn't try to arrest them or ask a reason why kinda just letting everyone go their own way (and i can understand why because why cause trouble when it isn't needed) i think some standards could be tightened by the admins or atleast talked about with the community in a couple policy threads
The future is horrible!

Right, sorry, I meant also for LRP, and also for non-antags, just in general.

How would you, and other potential headmin elects, put this in practice, is what I am curious to know.

I think for LRP rule 1 can be way more enforced, especialy the 6 point in the precident Joining and exiting the round in an attempt to maximize antagonist rolls is not allowed. theres alot of people that would just join a shift and suicide or afk or speedrun the shuttle for any given reason like cult presence just existing and not even ongoing, but i think people should atleast try to play out the round, you joined it so why shouldn't you play it out? i think those ropes could wayyy more be tightened, i can understand if you dont want to play a round but i think you should atleast ahelp with your reason just so they know why you suicided and if its reasonable to. i highly want to crack down on this because its just antag roll maxing war ops? suicide as sec, and have chance on latejoins if admins dont notice it (i know its bannable)

Crack down on security "validhunting people" without prior evidence, so they can't just arrest search two people without prior conflict for being together under the reason that they might be bloodbrothers and then proceeding to check their bag for a flash for example, this is just straight up validhunting to the max this isn't fun for anyone and makes rounds way more boring two situations also could come from this, 1 you might gotten a person who just happened to have a burnt flash on them and it will end up both players being killed for no reason(Unlikely scenario but we need to remember the possibilities that could exist) or they do end up getting the valids but that makes the round more meaningless since they even haven't done anything yet but then you just were lucky because they had a flash on them despite you not knowing somebody got flashed or something like that. in the end roleplay is king even if its in a small amount.

From MRP i can't say too much but it probaly would fall down on the same lines as LRP but with more towards but if i'd pick something it would probaly be more directed towards staying in your lane, and don't powergame
The future is horrible!
