It makes no sense. While they could technically be an assistant for a department or something like that, all they do is bridge hobo or just enjoy themselves on the station in other areas, such as the bar. Which is fine, but why should they be paid by glorious Nanotrasen? If we stop handing out unemployment benefits giving them paychecks, they will be more motivated to actually work and contribute to the labour force. If they want a custom job for a gimmick, they could confer with the Head of Personnel to be put in a specific department that the role could perhaps belong in. If none such can be found, they could be just put into the 'service' department by default for custom jobs. This way, they will get paychecks. It would also open up a way for antag HOP's to sign assistants up into the service department in exchange for a cut of the money (give me x of your paycheck and I'll make sure you get free stonks). It could also give assistants more incentive to sell some of the stuff they may find on the station that others may find useful (I do this sometimes as janitor) to make money that way, since they don't get handouts anymore. Finally it also makes sense (to me, at least) from a RP perspective. Thoughts on this? Shoot :)

RP jobs are only boring if you treat them like they are. Either you aren't playing the job right/with the right mindset or you could be unlucky with people not RP'ing back.

While I like the idea, I am not sure how it would work in practice. I'd be afraid there would be players inclined to raise the command level / keep bugging for higher alert level for elevated access. Basically: The other alert levels? Absolutely. The changes in access? No.

Let's not forget: August 18: @CornMyCob has been hired as a server dev next to their role as game admin

Would this help?

Make it so we can butcher it for horse meat also.

Okay so, update. Sir @henri215has made a sound for this gotten the sound from CM for this. For an example: See/listen here: https://discord.com/channels/145533722026967040/145700319819464704/1141824352694845501 The question is: Should we: 1: Make that possible for ALL shoes 2: Limit this to jackboots, jacksandals and dress shoes, to give them more uniqueness and perhaps a small incentive to wear them more? But by doing so, many people will not be able to do the salute emote with sound (the emote itself still works) by default. Let your opinion be known if you like (click the link to go to the discord message/discussion)

Example can be heard at 0:02. Disclaimer: I did not know of any other movies/scenes off the top of my head. Informational/educational purposes only, etc, etc. Thoughts? Personally I think it'd be a nice small thing for immersion.

This is good. I can use TC to buy the syndicate cash briefcase and buy all the chef's food with it like the glutton I am. In all seriousness. I like this idea.

From what I have noticed when playing psychologist .. it's really a hit-or-miss when it comes to gameplay/things to do. Even if you improvise, there are not always people who want to play along. I once had a Diona (Or Nian, not 100% sure) come to me (I was psychologist) because they were nervous because of their upcoming botany exam. We had some amazing roleplay. There's also been an instance of someone setting up shock therapy with a shower and an electrified grille. It was amazing. :D

I've had some great experiences playing as an undercover detective. My fellow seccies mistook me for a civilian and arrested me for trespassing into the brig 10/10. (I had a civ ID with detective access, put the sec encryption key in a normal headset, etc etc). But don't overdo it imo. I see no reason why this should be prohibited through SOP. If properly RP'd/played, it can add to the round. Perhaps there should be something in SOP that requires written authorization of the captain/HoS for an officer/detective to go undercover. And also make them NOT allowed to perform arrests. Just reconnaissance. The authorization form should be kept secure in the HOS/captain's office cabinet. Preferably both.

This.

I have more of an urge to eat them. I love KFV! In all seriousness, I like the species diversity on our station. More species please.

January 27th, 2022 @necaladunhas stepped down as Head of Staff @Sirryan2002has been elected as a new Head of Staff

We used to have a lawyer role/alt title for the IAA quite some time ago. I'm not sure why it got removed though.

Hi :) Welcome and good on you to want to get out of your comfort zone and get into (a) different role(s). If you ever get stuck, use F1 in-game and select 'mentorhelp'. Mentors can help you with in-game related issues that do not require an admin (that is for things like people breaking rules, or questions about rules itself, etc. Use F1 -> adminhelp for that). Have fun!

December 22nd, 2022: @ItsMarmite has joined the admin team as a Trial Admin.

I first joined the server on March 23rd, 2017. Had no idea what I was doing, I started out as janitor. Became a regular, started to recognise people, and people started to recognise me (my character, in any case). Eventually I joined the mentor team. Then became an admin and after some time took on the role of community manager. It is now 2022, almost 2023. My character's main job (Alfred's) is still, after all these years, janitor. And sometimes captan/other roles. But mostly janitor.

I'd be in favour of this. Other species have this option, so why not IPC's? I must say it isn't something I've thought about, as I don't main IPC.

September 26th, 2022 The following TA's have been promoted to Game Admin (in no particular order): @Eric6426 @Dsdiy @Nerfection @Zedahktur @Carthusia @Miraviel @PeakPerformance

While I was initially all for the idea, I find myself agreeing with Neca's point of view. I may just start reminding people to vote more often. I wonder how that'd change things up. It's worth a shot at least.

I fully support this

Let's hear it

July 13th, 2022 @Ionward retired from adminship July 28th, 2022 @Miraviel and @Peak have joined the staff team as Trial Admins! :) Congratulations!

July 23rd, 2022 A new batch of trial admins! Congratulations! (names are in no particular order) @Eric6426 @Dsdiy @Nerfection @Zedahktur @BlackDog @Samman166 @Ordosian
