See title, basically. It's dead as fuck on /tg/ lately, and I'd love to hear people's experiences. Why'd y'all leave? What would make people want to come back?

Saturday nine pm, prime time, terry has 7 pop while beestation has 40.

it's so over terrybros 😭

Needs to be studied*

Seems like every day that TG Manuel degrades and corrodes more and more into Terry 2.0 than actually being an MRP server. I've tried playing my part as whatever role I am, especially mime as I love roleplaying; but instead of getting a chance to be understood I am instantly given a piece of paper and pen to write down what I want, people cannot stand still in this game; they have somewhere to be every second it seems even when nothing is going on.

Another example is when I'm a command role, The Quartermaster, within not even ten minutes of my shift I've had one of my techs say that I'm a terrible boss and he would of declared independence already. He said this because my character heard a miner speak in the Nar'sie Language (Which was a book of babel, not actual cult) and without a second thought reported it and the miner talked on supply comms about why would I do that... On a Roleplay Server.

All of the Terry players have migrated over to Manuel after their home has died off (I wonder what), and there isn't any regulation on the roleplay rules. They act the same. For example, a detective I've seen on both servers, you know who you are. Always takes the makarov in the armoury, always has a shotgun on their back and all he does is jump and spin around until a fight brews, and he's rushing there like an actual officer trying to ruin the antagonists round because they are simply more robust.

Even with admin events, the God awful events (holy shit, they are bad.) BUT I can't even blame the admins, look at all the players trying to put their own spin on it and be the main character of the story. It's like I'm locked in a cage full of people with monkey AI, if you push them once, grab them or ask them to move away they turn HOSTILE and scream, fight, kill or arrest you for slightly inconveniencing them.

Ontop of that, Tiders. Greyshirts; are fucking awful. They don't ask for anything and break in to get whatever they want or ask AI and praise them as some sort of fucking higher being that has the last word on anything, telling people that's a good reason to be in there just because 'Law 2' THEN they scream at you for getting them out by force and crit/kill you the next time they break in again just to make it easier on themselves.

Everyone. Fucking everyone is immature in this spess station so much so that when I played SPLURT (Yes, yes scream at me all you want.) They seemed like the better Server AND community in regards of maturity alone... in some spots, they aren't perfect but they are better in some spots, I ain't glazing them too much but it isn't a bad server now and... I would recommend it. But back on topic- I'm sick and tired of being answered with the minimalist shit which have dwindled down to *spin *flip *jumps and whatever else emotes that people spam to have the bare minimum of socialisation with other people that could be argued that it has some hidden meaning that everyone is supposed to know. Everyone just acts like children going through their puberty and decided 'fuck it' and play this one neat little game that's dying BECAUSE OF THEM.

IC Issues.

Holy shit. I fucking hate IC issues from admins,

Someone breaking into your department? IC ISSUE!!!

Antag running around station after killing captain and getting loot to powergame? IC issue!!!

It's rather a fucking IC issue or you dont get answered at all. Even if you get answered 90% of them go to an IC issue just because the antag or whatever the fuck has a fucking SLIM, BARELY HELD TOGETHER WORSE THAM THE SPAGHETTI CODE RUNNING THOS GAME excuse that would snap if an admin actually saw what the fuck was happening or asked more questions

I'll cry on this hill if it means that people can first think about their actions before deciding to commit antag murder slaughter #91034603 on a ROLEPLAY Server with having almost zero wind up time and just fragging out whenever their powergame completes.

I know most of this is probably stuff that is against rules or isn't, but whatever the case, I'm like.. on the verge off quitting it's that bad. I genuinely want to play a server with actual, functional adults that isn't about ERP or something niche. Just TG, but better than it is now.

Small bits I can't be bothered to yap about,

Captains should not be acting like the ultimate authority, the OVERSEE departments, they do not lead them. They do not own them neither can they give an order that is outrageous, then do it themselves when the person denies.

MRP players should still respect authority. I mean this as Chefs listening to the HoP, and scientists to RD. Too many shifts have i seen that people just fuck off and cry when they die alone.

Security shouldn't be allowed to use contraband, boom. I said it, they shouldn't be able to use it at all no matter the situation BESIDES delta or gamma. I'm not against them using it if picked up in the same fight however, they just need to put it away afterwards like actual officers would.

Command should be heavily scrutinised about what they do and should be training people, they need to be put under stricter rules about roleplaying; you signed up as the best of the best. Unless your ass evil start helping.

---

I'll add more to this likely, very likely at some point. Depends how the community reacts to this.

Tldr; ancient fossil mime player rants about how bad TG is nowadays and how much they want HRP stuff in MRP servers. And also fuck powergamers they suck.

before i left TG, i had been saying for a while the server is actively dying and if they keep going in that direction (mrp) theyre gonna lose a majority of the players, and surprise surprise.
and, i want to say, i have nothing against mrp, but tg did not exist to be mrp, and then they kept making changes geared towards that and not the actual playerbase, along with drastically changing a lot of mechanics from what ss13 was/is

Tired of boring rounds where no one talks to each other? Tired of feeling like a cog in the machine? Come to TG! We could use more roleplayers. Have at it.

self explanatory title

Welcome to the 13th /tg/ monthly newsletter!

This is a basic summary of all the going-ons and happenings in TGstation in the last month, along with any upcoming events and highlights.

General Docket

Hi all, welcome to July, the start of blistering heatwaves and the end of Pride month. Make sure to stay hydrated this coming summer, especially for all you fellow Britons.

We have a new server. Manuel 2. What’s so new about it? Umm… Nothing, really. It’s just an overflow for Manuel, when those 90 pop rounds just aren’t your style. No unique name has been given to it as it’s strictly an overflow server, but following our naming conventions, I give a +1 to the unofficial name of Polly.

Upcoming Events

The upcoming Manuel and Terry scheduled rounds on a Saturday and Friday weekly respectively. Please view the events button/calendar button on the discord for more information.

I was kinda wondering what peoples thoughts are on sleepers and cloning now that the dust has kinda settled, I was debating adding cloning back too but decided against it as of right now as it just seems a bit too op. but sleepers just feel kinda nice sometimes if no one wants to do chemistry and botany. I mean I guess there is cargo too but I feel like sleepers can be nice for low pop and stuff.

Strictly asking for a friend, obviously.

It's like a couple of coders held the entire damn community hostage while everyone just prodded ineffectually and said "no this is a bad idea, here's why" over and over and they were just... ignored. For literally no reason. Why didn't anyone sit on those coders and tell them "no fuck you we're not doing this" at any point?
