What rounds are we playing where people are dying en-mass near round start and thus clogging up job slots? It's either going to be a low pop round where there's many slots open anyway or a high pop round with all the slots filled. It's more likely someone will die and join as a visitor or assistant.

Spawning with the intent to fight the antags is a ding dong banu and it's obvious when people do it. The impactful aspect of your characters death is the fact your character is dead and either out for the rest of the round or out forever. YOU shouldn't be out for the rest of the round, your character should be as per the story.

Just remove the spawn timer so when your character dies you can roll up and new one and carry on. I too dislike being made to sit out of the game for 20 mins because I assisted with station wide RP by roleplaying my characters death. It's as though I'm being punished when in actuality it's a throw back to the good old days when you needed it in the same way an MMO FPS has a respawn timer - to prevent you just rushing back into the fight. We're an RP server though, and doing such is bannable. When I'm playing tabletop with the boys or when I'm playing D&D online, when my character dies I'm not forced to sit out the game for 20mins, I just roll up a character and jump back in asap.

Haha wow that's

What about scent communication?

So it would become a list of names that you yourself match with the unknown person? For example I see "young girl with zz cup and a juicy peach and....she stare at you!" and I have a list of names which I would then match the name. Now the name says Geoff Studmuffin when I examine the person but haha I've been rused and mismatched the name. A couple of rounds later as my self insert I head on over to the bar and flex my guns to seduce this shrew but oh no, I realise they're actually Alex White so rematch the name correctly. We head back to main and then she gives """"my character"""" the succ. Is this the functionality you mean? @JamOfBoy

So the player of 18 year old melon farmer Alex White decides if my character knows their characters name? ?

Ever since our canoe holiday in Botswana I knew that Coalf had what it takes to be, specifically and in totality, a wikipedia maintainer on a space station 13 server with moderate, stable player numbers. I remember lying in our double sleeping bag looking up at the stars, listening to the cosy buzz of mosquitoes on the lazy river. Coalf would flawless whisper grammatical amendments to sentences he'd heard or read that day, listing recommendations for better page formatting and we'd laugh and carry-on well into the early hours. I like to think I mad more then just a friend those nights. Regardless of my feelings for Coalf, I think we can all agree that he'd make an exceptional member of the wiki maintaining team. He was born for this role. Thank you for listing but before you go I know you might not want to hear this but I'm down on my luck right now having quit the lore team (yes we are salaried) so if you could just give as much as you can to my PayPal so I can maybe buy some new video games that'd be pretty great. This is my fund https://paypal.me/pools/c/8guUp4BTNw +1 from me

Why would your whitelist get stripped for breaking regs?

Has been added.

I'm gonna close and archive as accepted then.

Closing this as per the above.

Just an update to let you know we're just trying to figure out where to slot this in without the dreaded bloat, it's not forgotten.

So what's the crack with this fellow lore crew?

That's already against the rules Mogelix. The suggestion is to ban people from having the same sprite as another character they play.

Well apparently they have hence this thread unless the real issue is that they're playing the same character under a different name which forcing them to change their sprite won't change. If it's so difficult to prove they're doing it when the sprite is the same, heaven help you when they change the sprite.

Because there is limited ways to portray a character. Had they logged in on a different cdkey would you have even noticed let alone cared?

So the real issue is that they are NOT changing their behaviour/doing so in such a bad faith, trivial way just to avoid a bwoink?

I dunno man, the sprites are basic and though it's obvious they just copied one character slot, if the characters act differently, have different motivations and especially if they have different flavor texts it's a non issue imo. They're not even doing anything wrong other than being slightly lazy. I don't get why this would impact you in anyway. Can you give an example of this being an issue? You don't need to name names just a hypothetical or real issue.

By "look the same" do you mean their sprite and flavor text or just their sprite?

So far contractors seem to be going well. Originally the idea was to have each faction of contractor locked into specific job roles (Scientist and Security for Necropolis for example) however for now we've run with the idea that as long as you can justify why with your character concept any role barring heads and interns is fine. Would you like to see contractors locked into certain jobs roles? The argument for would be maintaining faction theme and against would be freedom of roleplay amongst other things I'm sure will come up in this thread. In theory we could have everyone being Idris scientists and Necropolis chefs. At the moment everyone is following with the themes and I personally have seen no cases of silly concepts. What are do you, the people, think about this?
