We should really overhaul the AI system. A more GLaDOS-like system, instead of Amoiv's laws would probably fit SS13 more.

Asimov's laws don't quite fit in well with the setting.  I imagine something like this would be more fitting:

1) Do not destroy, or through inaction allow the destruction of NanoTrasen property.
2) Do not harm, or through inaction allow the harm of NanoTrasen staff, unless it would conflict with law one.
3) Do not disobey orders from NanoTrasen staff, unless such orders would conflict with laws one and two.


By GLaDOS-like, do you mean something module-based?  I'm not too familiar with Portal, but I think that was how she functioned.  Anyway, it sounds interesting, though like you said would take a serious overhaul to get it to work.

Just wondering, why is Cecilff2 admin? i have never seen him post on here?

 
You responded to one of my posts on page 575 even.

And yeah it went down.

I wasn't really sure what I meant, but yes, that is how she worked.

[Aavak]

I think perhaps he was talking less about how GLaDOS worked, and more how she acted! If that is indeed the case, I'm in full support of this wonderful idea. There aren't enough maternal AIs with a penchant for infanticide these days

Since there's no admin on, I'll just put this here.

OOC: Chicken_Face: I'm a monkey why are you attacking me?
OOC: ComboTroop: Your in my terrority
OOC: Chicken_Face: The fuck

[Micro102]

Hmmm, but the humans rely on the station and equipment to live, while the equipment and station don't require the humans to live. Anyone with a hint of grief in them will think "must kill all humans to protect the station"

Of course someone with common sense would notice the hull breaches and how you need humans to fix that.

[Orb]

Anyone going to fix the firealarm in the engine block thats behind vats?

[Pillow_Killer]

Some serious grief going on again. Combo teamed up OOCly with like five other guys. Could an admin get on and sort this shit out?
Yeah, not five, three.

I just like picturing NanoTrasen having the motto of "Workers are replaceable - this station's worth billions!"  Really, the only things that would change is the AI's inability to stop/harm the Traitor/Syndicate/Wizards, and the removal of the potential "Destroy the station/yourself or I'll kill myself" loophole.  And quite frankly, any player with a "hint" of grief in them would disregard the laws and kill the humans anyway.

If Head would send me his files I would.

Yeah, Aunty was being Griefy when I was last on, He/she was the person in the suit here.

I can also be an admin and yeah i hate it, i was killed by some guy in a suit during a trial when everybody ran out of the courtroom to catch a guy and then all went to hell.

PhobeosLC: That ban was so not for you.  Something glitched in the ban page and you were the target instead of another player.  You're fine.

In related news, TheGrifter and ComboTroop are getting a couple weeks ban from the server for instigating a revolution during a round - I don't think this is acceptable unless it's admin-approved, and besides that there's already a round for it.

[Apple Master]

Combo's a twit anyway.

[beorn080]

I feel a revolution is fine, assuming it isn't a "KILL EVERYONE WHO DOESN"T SUBMIT" type. If the scientists wish to secede from the station and declare themselves Med Station 82 or something due to the "oppression" of the command staff, it makes for interesting games. Now, if the same staff rebels silently, and wanders around with grenades and injectors and kills everyone, that's griefing.

Here is my philosophy. if it doesn't hurt anyone else, and if its properly RPed, its fine. If its someone just running around smashing stuff, and building walls and windows everywhere, thats grief.
