Azande Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) This. There is no reason the company would have someone's religion (unless they were a chaplain) on their corporate ID card. Where I am from, it is illegal to inquire about a prospective or current employee's religion/creed/faith. However, we could use the space on the ID card for something far better - ORGAN DONATION! This means you can give Medical the all clear to steal your organs upon death without hiding it somewhere in your records that medical really doesn't want to have to search through (the formatting of our records systems is terrible) to find out whether they can cut you open.

ReynTheLord Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Unless some idiot runs a religious purge gimmick on a rev round, the religion on id's BS is mostly useless. I mean, sure, You can keep it on your player setup, But there's no reason a buisiness would need to know someone's religion if they aren't chaplain, outside of knowing they arent *Insert batshit insane cult here* , So yeah, I agree
Itanimulli Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 But what if Mars wants everyone to know she believes in the lawd without being a loud mouth because she knows that speaking basic to them is like rubbing a violin against a video of two cats having sex? -1 to the idea of taking it off. +1 to the idea of adding organ donation. No but seriously, this is two separate issues at once. So overall -1. Edit: Also, like flavor text, you can just. Not put anything,
Alberyk Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 I am sure that some countries put religions on their citzen's ID, I see no issue with it. The organ donator could be in the medical records instead.
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Just because it is illegal where you live does not mean it is illegal for Tau Ceti.
LordFowl Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Knowing someone's religion is of administrative value and having it does not preclude having an organ donation slot. That said, organ donation sounds better suited for the medical records along such things as do not borg.
Azande Posted March 14, 2018 Author Posted March 14, 2018 Because I have an issue with bloating of things ranging from discord channel disorganization to unnecessary information on things. [mention]Zundy[/mention] , I don't know how full the ID card screen is right now but it's easier to just make room for things by removing something else. [mention]Alberyk[/mention] The suggestion literally mentions that searching through records for organ donation is a chore because our records systems freaking suck. Unless its a toggleable option that appears in the top-most area of records with DNA and such, no.
Arrow768 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 [...]But there's no reason a buisiness would need to know someone's religion if they aren't chaplain, outside of knowing they arent *Insert batshit insane cult here* , So yeah, I agree And that is where you are wrong. At my workplace, you have different days off depending on your religion. So the employer needs to know what your religion is.
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 What Arrow said. Knowing religions is important for in-universe matters.

LordFowl Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 For it to be added to the ID it would need to be added to the character sheet as an option, a la religion and such, which seems somewhat clutterous for just a yes/no option. It really is something that is best handled in medical records. If you have a problem with records you should create a suggestion pinpointed regarding them.
Kaed Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Did you know?? -You can silence a wizard with an obsidian item by using, preventing them from casting spells temporarily -There are mechanics in place for organ transplants, allowing you to replace people's vital organs, if you know what you are doing -You can eat soup with a fork Wow, mister Kaed! I only knew some of those things, probably! But what do any of those have to do with each other? Well, little Urist, I'll tell you. All three of these mechanics have almost no practical use in regular gameplay! That's right, their existence is so irrelevant that even the people that do know they exist have probably never used them more than once, if ever, and even then, it accomplished nothing that could not have been resolved more easily with another method! Gosh, mister Kaed! It sounds like you think this thread is pointless and you're implying that adding an organ donation tag to people's IDs would be an utter waste of time! That sounds pretty mean! What could it hurt to add it, it's completely harmless! Well, little Urist. You're right about at least one of those things!
ReynTheLord Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Usually I just see medical fucking reknit a fucking heart from scratch instead of doing organ transplants, although that's usually because I can only see that little ring around me because, thankfully, medical USUALLY applies anesthetics properly. Have organ donations ever been needed outside of SpessmanMcDrunkasfuck killing their liver? ... Is that even a possibility, now that I think of it?

This wants to add another layer of information on ID cards. ID cards already carry a lot of personal information. Everyone interacts with ID's every single round. We already have complaints that our record system is dense and unintuitive - there is no reason to turn ID's into a mishmash of records.
