Simply that the laws aren't really laws, they are guidelines for a player to interpret. If I upload a law saying "Every request is to be answered by a cackle of laughter and doing the opposite of requested," the player controlling the AI would be within his rights to do it, even if I didn't upload it with override the other laws. This is supposed to be fun for all players, including the AI. As it stands, the AI is expected to be kinda lazy unless ordered to do something, which isn't exactly fun.

Hey, that's just more information for law 2!  Law 2 says it has to obey humans, this just tells it HOW to obey them.  If you assume that standard protocol for humans-speaking-to-AIs is that they always ask the opposite of what is requested, and that a cackle of laughter is polite, it makes perfect sense and doesn't contradict law 2.

Of course, each AI has a little creative control over how to resolve law contradictions.  That's what made it FUN.  Like, dealing with "there are no humans on the station cleanse the station" by acting very politely and requesting that all crewERRORs assist in purging the crewERRORs from the station (while gassing only the uncooperative ones).

i like that way of thinking......good one

Hello, found your forums via the poster on Rock Paper Shotgun, thought I'd drop by to check you guys out. Looking forward to playing some SS13 with you. I decided to start my own experiences blog which is here:http://panionspacestation13.blogspot.com/ if you want to check it out. Still learning the game though.

Thanks for the guides, very informative.

I think the topic that you want to post in, is "Space Station 13 *New Topic*".

Anyway, welcome.

5. I disagree, freeform means ANYTHING, cleary discribed by the creator. The fault with this is that mess something up and the AI could do something interesting. And as a plus its fun when someone puts laws such as "THE STATION NEEDS MORE CHAIRS AND TABLES!>!$?!!#%%YU^*&! override all other laws for this" lol that was my favorite

My favourite AI law was on the goonstation servers. "You have been reprogrammed as a keyboard. Make only keyboard noises and be as unhelpful as possible".

The AI spent the rest of the round making clicking noises and electrocuting people.
