This should never actually happen, given that captainship is whitelisted Pssst. Don't reply to shitposts. Remember this life lesson. I remember, there was a similar thread to this, some time ago. In short, it was concluded that alternate titles for heads of staff shouldn't really exist, as these could create potential confusion. For example, captain is always a captain, no matter the circumstances and stuff. But, when we add 'station administrator' and 'station overseer' to the mix, things start to get a little confusing. Then, people will demand more alternate titles, 'commander' for HoS, 'medical director' for CMO, 'chief research officer' for RD, etc etc. It's fine as it is. Through, some alt titles like 'commander' sound fucking badass. EDIT: (IMHO) sounds badass. Not: is the most appropriate and sensible in this situation.

That's what I can +1. Good job, Malcolm. Considering how they are actually serious, understandable, can explain what they think in non-insulting manner, generally being okay (my engrish, please). Unless they're in progress of claiming off-topic again, of course.

Thanks, Malcolm. Almost like it's still funny.

I'm fine with it. It would allow me, and others, to do some antagonistic work without actually being the antag. And again, if you're joining a round that's secret/voted antag, don't expect extended. You will die, or be forced to do things, sometimes.

Exactly. And again, if someone spells their favorite ligger's name wrong, shame on them, it's only their fault and only their vote got wasted. I don't see why you're bothered.

Ugh. Seems like there wasn't much thought put into this. It's centered around the whitelisted players, there are even two questions about the best RD, these could as well just be one. There's just one question about 'normal' players, and that's about the most robust security officer, which isn't even about any roleplay capabilities, but pure mechanics. Can we re-do this? With categories like this, or something similar: (best) head of staff; medical professional; man of the law; engineer; mad researcher; just a civilian; staff member; player altogether

There's an unwritten (and written, too) rule, 'don't be a dick'. If you were to do this, and effectively end the round (IC-ly bound synthetics can't lie, and they don't usually break), you're not winning anything, you're just making many people's rounds boring, including yours. So, play along, and notify the traitor of the law not forbidding you from stating it, you will have fun, too.

It was. Removed now.

I even know who's this signature is. I've seen strange shit on e621, but actual furries never cease to amaze me. Are they melting? 'No swimming', because it's acid? Is the cat glued to the other one's back? What the fuck.

Damn, that was close.

What about say "! whistles", etc? It should be a radio (or not, in this example) equivalent of me. Last time I used it, speech bubbles were present, could pAI's and blind people see them?

Fuck Tish and the boyz. There was a second one too, but I forgot.

This is the most aroused I've been since I've walked upstairs. Just don't make any promises you can't keep. Make frequent progress updates in some thread, so people won't think that the project is dead, again. Get all the help you need. Don't make the map too big and ambitious, please. That's all, I guess.

But mom, why can't we have normal admins and mods like other servers?

If our lore is so terrible, boring, ignorable, uninspired and generally bad writing, could you please point the devs in the right direction? Provide an example of the 'good writing' in this 'conservative vs liberal' situation? Because, now, you're just calling the devs and their lore 'bad', you're free to get involved and make suggestions, as we're a community. I, personally, don't see a reason Adhomai, that's still engulfed in a civil war, wouldn't be pro-family (that's anti-gay, I guess?). If I were any goverment, I would encourage my citizens to start families and make kids, since adult males are dying at the battlefront. Being gay-ok just does not make any sense. But, that's just after a quick look at the lore,I didn't actually read it. Dreamix I did provide examples to attempt to point the lore in the right direction. If you read my op I gave several examples of real cultures that have depth to their understanding. But it was ignored and instead everyone just went with their simplified and untrue narrative that I’m just complaining about the tajara being conservative. The thing is, it /can/ be explained that homosexuality is not accepted. It can also be explained that it’s an exception to the normally conservative culture (I provided several examples of this happening in real life, so if you still think it doesn't make sense please refer to the real examples I provided). My biggest complaint is that the culture is so monotone that they are simple to understand. The entirety of the culture can be summed up with “they are conservative”. That’s what’s boring. If you can sum up the entirety of any culture in one sentence it makes for extremely plain lore. The same would be true if you could sum up the entire culture with the line “they are all really liberal.”(...) Well, these 'examples' you provided, as determined by other posters, are not really true or relevant. I was also asking about how would you want to change our own lore, real life facts won't do it, as you could as well just quote some research texts about gay chimpanzees. "Media and governments are promoting homosexuality over the ability to make kids, despite the constant civil war going on. Perhaps they want Tajarans to go extinct, or stop the war after the sides run out of male, young recruits?" That sounds much better (and is also extremely stupid, as no one would want to play a stupid enough cat to believe and live according to what media are saying) than "uh, romans were gay, and Tajarans can be gay because they're using the bushido code, or whatever". Also, if you summed up Tajaran lore by 'they are conservative', then you really only care about their views on homosexuality. Why not sum Tajarans up by 'they are in a limbo of civil wars' or 'they are space gypsies' or whatever. Also, again, the lore is supposed to be monotone and simple to understand. Imagine that you have to spend weeks learning the entire human history just to play one. We're playing a video game, I want to tell who's who and how I should react to them at a glance. It may be lazy, but I'm having fun this way.

Apparently nothing of depth can be said here without it going over your head. Your the lore writer so let me dumb it down just for you. I don’t care that it’s conservative. I’m remarking on how boring a single-faceted and flat culture is. If the culture was entirely liberal and that’s all it was then from a lore perspective that culture is still boring as fuck, and easily ignorable. So this is not conservative vs liberal. I’m remarking that this is single-faceted, uninspired, and boring. Probably why so many tajara ignore the lore, there is no substance to it but a one faced gimmick (i.e. bad writing). The fact that I have to dumb down it down for you is what’s disappointing. @delta Did you get it now? or should I dumb it down again baby? If our lore is so terrible, boring, ignorable, uninspired and generally bad writing, could you please point the devs in the right direction?

Let's just imagine that Aurora's security is sort of indirectly equipped with a fuckton of Icarus's combat drones. Buuuuut, I agree that pistols filled with lethal ammunition would help to filter the bad officers that don't do proper escalation of force from the rest (BWOINK). It also looks cool, I guess. Buuuuut, that would also mean that the more robust security officers may validhunt much easier. I'm confused.

Seriously? During my playtime as AI's and borgs, I've always been instructed to do nothing if the laws conflict. Can we get an official statement from Skull, or Jackboot?

Doesn't it mean that such influential, important and honorable Unathi like Sslahizr wouldn't really care about Aersari? Or, basically every other Unathi wouldn't want to talk to him? Shouldn't Aersari Yinzr have his name changed to Aersari Guwan? IMHO, one 'muh honour' ligger is enough. Also, considering this quote '"Yinzr, don't go out there and stab that giant Carp with a glass spear." "FUCK YOU THIS IS HONORABLE AS FUCK."', it really looks like it's an application to cause mess and valid-hunt because of honour as two Unathi-bro's.

What if there's so many people who want to be antags, that only some of them can actually be picked by the system? Also, can you explain how the current system is unfair? Is it because security is less likely to be picked?

It's almost like if it mattered. If anyone cared. Let's make hive-chan really sad.

B-but the Icarus, or whatever the drone ship is. It's not like NanoTrasen expects their stations to be raided by intruders everyday. And even if it happens, it's still much easier and cheaper to have one big ERT unit in a region, than many, many, many very small trained security teams with decent armories. Edit: Damn it, Delta.

I don't see the point of arbitrary restrictions when said restriction wasn't even present for Shells. Well, there has to be something that "pushes" the player to apply for IPC whitelist. If Polaris's cyborgs/androids aren't really different from proper IPC's, there's just no point of having IPC whitelists. You may as well just declare your cyborg a, well, cyborg (brain used as a processor, with programmed unit loaded in it), and if that's the right word, bypassing the IPC whitelist entirely. Huh. I have no idea. I just want whitelisted IPC's to be different from other cyborgs/androids. Also, shells weren't really any different than IPC's in our old-code. There weren't really any mechanical differences, other than the brain that pops up after gibbing.

It's fine, I guess. Can the 'Morpheus', traditional IPC skin be restricted to the proper IPC's with posi-brains? Also, without a IPC whitelist, you should only be permitted to create borgs (full-body prosthetics, not actual 100% synthetic robots).
