Not really. AI can't go ghost when dead, and has no power to arrest people after kicking them. Plus, all it takes is a quick snip and the camera's are disabled for an area. Not an optimum situation.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

From my point of view, the problem seems to be emotional admins, who can't differentiate between a proper, legitimate killing and a griefer attack. It seems that when a regular player attacks an admin who is roleplaying, they will automatically get pissed because they got attacked and assume it is a griefer, without any further investigation, reaching for the ban button.

We've formed a little agreement a while back.

Cent Com are sending the best of the best to staff the station. They are not sending homicidal maniacs who kill people over a word. Thus, anyone committing a crime and not being a syndicate, will be punished horribly.

One person seems to have banned just because he couldn't load the engine.

Sorry, but this is an understatement. I should have made it clearer, but it did look like severe idiocy or spite.

First time, he started to ignite the engine when I was loading cannisters. I closed the valve and told him not to do this yet. He opened it. I closed it again and begun to connect other cannisters. Of course, he did exactly the same thing he did earlier. He has been shouted at by the captain. About ten minutes later, he tried to open the engine loading chamber inner airlock, effectively sealing it off (with the storage containing perfectly good cannisters) and dying in a fire.

Next day I joined late, was assigned to the engine and saw the engine running without being loaded. Then I realized it's the same guy as the day before.

I forgot to mention that the entire time he was writing in lower cases, with multiple spelling errors. And he had no first and last name, only something which looked like a nickname.

Our banning may seem somewhat harsh, but it's extremely easy for one person to fuck up the entire turn for everyone. If we begin to give those people second, third, fourth and eleventh chance, we will have no time for playing, because every turn will be destroyed by a moron who can't read the Wiki.

Not even the wiki. I can understand not knowing how to revive a person in genetics, but there is a SHEET OF PAPER with the loading procedures on it in the engine room.

I'm willing to admin without playing for when we get flooded, but it would be great if I didn't have to do it everyday. So I think a list for rotating omnipresent admins would be the best for it. Just comit suicide at the beggining of the round and watch and here everything.

Also, are we planning to implament the welder scenario?

The problem is that many people by "roleplaying" mean playing as an unstable, hostile or even homicidal character. Others don't, but instead just wait for the first opportunity to flip the fuck out, because "they're roleplaying a panicking person". Add a token griefer, who just wants to blow some shit up and you get a deathmatch.

When I'm the only admin on, I sometimes think turning abandon mob on for the round would make it funnier. Just a non serious round spawning equipment lockers occasionally and generally having fun.

I keep away from the shiny buttons, but what does that do? Allow respawning?

Exactly my point. I've never been quite ban happy myself, and I've barely banned maybe 5 people since I became admin on the server, but seriously, if I do play again now, expect me to be banning faster than Phob and Yan combined.

An admins *watch everyone* ability makes ghosting unesccisary, can teleport people into a brig after dropping their items, and if the cameras are disabled, you still have the *watch everyone* ability. And unless they cut at least hlaf your cameras, you still have more veiwing power then any player.

Micro, don't talk about stuff you know nothing about.

We have no "watch everyone" button. We can't even observe specific people as far as I know. Unless we are dead.

Also, you'd be amazed how much field of view even ONE removed camera affects.

The amount of information an administrator has access to is mind blowing. You can fly around, watch people without them knowing, create items and even give yourself god mode.

well he seems to know what he's talking about so are you sure you cant observe people without them knowing as admin?

im not amazed, as i try to be AI all the time and have had my cameras cut before.
