There does seem to be a problem with Nameless2. I cannot say much in terms of direct contact, but there have been numerous complaints calling for his removal. At worst, he is abusing his power, at best he needs to earn his trust with the other admins and regular players.
I will accept a majority vote from administrators to remove Nameless. Originally Johbson was meant to do this kind of thing but he's given up all hope for some reason, despite my willingness to adapt.
Giving yourself the slightest advantage in a game is looked down upon. People already have a sense of goal on any game mode, even in extended (Do regular work counts as a goal, and people shouldn't have to expect more from that).
I see my goal in the game as an entertainer; I only gain fun myself if others around me have fun. This weird scenario means that I'm effectively unable to cause much grief, as I don't like ruining the game for someone else.
I'm still trying to learn to which things I should and which things I shouldn't adapt. At the very least you should know that any behavior from me in the game will not mess things up too much. In special modes, I always leave control to the admin who held the mode without trying to divert attention to my character, but in generic modes where it starts to get boring I might actually do this just to spruce things up a bit.
At least when I do this in a generic mode, you'll know that the bad guy is controllable, and not prone to going on killing sprees or anything, so it's one less issue for moderators to handle.
Serious role-playing means the captain doesn't abuse his power, and a mutiny against the captain is well within roleplay if the captain acts unreasonable.
If the captain acts unreasonable and handcuffs my character to a chair, my game will effectively be ruined. The captain will of have griefed me. Even if I'm detained by security for vandalism and jailed, it still counts as grief in my book. However some grief is tolerated for the good of the many.
The key I have found to good role-playing in SS13 is respect. I always respect my fellow man, even if they do not respect me. Put me in a round with Johbson or even Rathen and I'll still act accordingly, not killing them despite what they may be blabbing over OOC.
Fostering a role-playing environment is done at all levels, from administration to the common player. That means that OOC stays OOC, admins do not use their abilities to give themselves an advantage (no matter how small), people do not run around toolboxing others at the slightest provocation, etc. We do not expect administration from you, we just expect that everyone is put on the same level for most of the time.
Except administrators are not on the same level as players. Indeed, an administrator is capable of hosting modes and making sure that custom modes are prepared. I think that sometimes it is good to have an administrator as a storyteller. I tend to automatically perform this role when rounds get too boring.
This much works with us. I thank you for the work that you have given us, and I don't doubt that you can help us improve our server.
Let me get one thing off the bat right away: I haven't given you anything. It's Nameless who gave the source to you guys because he wanted to abuse the crap out of you guys. I believe the only reason Nameless gave you guys the source in the first place is so he'd have a free "get out of trouble" free card plus full admin/developer access on the server.
My invitation to work together extends this far, but if you guys do not choose to work together I'd prefer if my work wasn't re-used.
I think we do have some relaxed rounds, and we certainly enjoy them from time to time.
Exactly. Of course, you have your strict rounds as well. I respect those rounds, and I do see the need at times for being strict, but you shouldn't be
too strict. I've seen far too many RP servers (outside of BYOND though) that have messed up in this way.
I think your problem lies in your public relations though, it is not that we see anything wrong in your behaviour, but that you go ahead and do stuff before making sure that the rest of us know for sure what you are up to. The problem isn't that you don't tell us, but that you don't make sure we get it.
If there are questions about my behavior after I use adminsay to tell you guys what I'm doing, or if you want to ask a question on what I'm doing right now, you can always give me a message. I'm open to any questions you guys may have.
The thing is that I feel that the only way for us to be able to work together is to actually work together as equals. You shouldn't have the feeling that I'm hogging everything and trying to take control, but I shouldn't have the feeling that I have to report to you guys as if I'm some kind of code monkey who still needs toilet training.
