Under the umbrella of basically 'moving them up your face onto your forehead of something and out of your eyes' I could get on board with that

@Fox McCloud Mmm an interesting summary of Goon mining - something I had no experience with.
As for Lavaland is there anyone actively working on this? My understanding was 'no'... It is an enormous undertaking - perhaps we could work this out logically, run it as a proper project with multiple contributors working in tandem?
-
Entirely possible, I didn't pay much attention to it myself at the time.
-
I remember there being something about people agreeing not to use the leaked code, no?
-
Goon code isn't freely available.
We can't 'just port it'.
But it does sound good, we'd end up having to write all of it from scratch, which is a big undertaking.

Sorry d00ds, it got fairly resoundingly stonewalled.

Maybe stop gearing up Blueshields and Detectives like officers, and it'll even fix other problems going on.

Freedom Ops declared war on the station.
The crew released Lady Tesla to combat them.

Civilians with firearms. Oh god no. Do you guys even play the same game as me?....
-
That is very much not the argument, in fact, the system is already completely coded afaik.
-
Oh god this arguement again.
I'll pre-face this with I agree.
But the whole idea got resoundingly shat upon by Maintainers.
The guy that coded this whole system might be able to expand on the issues... @tzo?

Eh.... yeah go for it.

Their RP, lore, and conversation style are amazing. They're the reason why people love them.

And they're trying to solve it with code... sorry, as someone who came from the age of dial-in BBS's and door games, all through MUX's and MUSH's and into our current crop of games, minecraft admin and alll... sorry, you can not fix player behavior with code. The BEST that can be done is to whitelist every antag position, with whitelisting meaning the admins have vetted that player as being responsible enough to know he is not playing for himself and can make the rounds interesting for all.
The only way to fix this is to crack down on the players themselves with admin setting the standard on what game requires. Applying code blindly, is like applying a bandaid to fix a broken leg.. on the arm. It just doesn't work.
I also come from a MUD background, playing and developing... and yes and no. You can /help/ fix behavior issues with code - however 99 times out of 100, its not anything direct that you tweak....
Your environment has a huge influence what you view as acceptable, and making measured tweaks can help reduce the occurrence, frequency and impact of the negative behaviors.
That can be code, and that can be admins adequately setting standards, as you put it. I can influence only one of those

@whiskeyfur Thats a playerbase issue though

Engineering borgs are immune, as are syndiborgs and deathsquad borgs.
Worth extending that to PeaceKeeper droids too, while Nations remains in the codebase.

I'm not a science player but wouldn't finishing RnD be finishing your job, not setting it up?
This. A thousand times this. R&D isn't supposed to be something you fucking macro and complete in 10 minutes like people have. You are supposed to be researching and developing. This should take time. This should then result in rewards for the station. What actually happens is 10 mins in the RD has done it, has given himself all the ugprades and starts building himself a mech.

These proposed solutions are not good ones.
I don't personally have the solution myself, but I know these certainly aren't it. I'll give some proposals, but they probably aren't the solution either.

Often the reason why antags are going wider with their objectives (and subsequently getting bwoinked by overzealous admins..) are that there isn't much chaos nor confusion going on, which is where an antagonist thrives. Maybe they want to disrupt the power system. Maybe they want to de-pressurize part of maintenance to discourage travellers...
Add a miscreant system. Similar to the previously added Conspirators system, or abductee system. Low level objectives to up the amount of stuff going on, and the amount of chaos that could be thriving. The idea is for them to be indistinguishable from greytides (who are typically assholes with nothing to do). Non-tracked objectives such as "Break the arm of the barkeeper" "Start a meth lab" "Burn down the library" ... but they would all have the caveat of "no one can directly die from your actions".

Every other department has some forms of setup time.
This is science getting upset that everything isn't immediately handed to them, and they have to work at it.
Boo hoo.

I was playing Starcraft Brood War at a high level, (would get matched against local pros, who'd stomp the fuck out of me)... and they were all called things like 'Yellow' 'Really' 'Fantasy' 'Flash' etc... who were my heroes, so I decided I wanted a cool Korean 1 namer.
