Feedback: Gibbed #4 Admin - vispate - 10-01-2012
This isn't really a serious complaint. But it happened and it killed my mood. So I figure this is the board it goes on.
I've read a lot posts on the board about people griefing and banning/unbanning. I see the necessity of admins watching players. However, sometimes too much interception really takes the player out of the game. This night I was playing AI and having fun helping the only survivor out... Then an admin interjected.

Spetznaz Spiff (as Jerrie Kifer) has uploaded a change to the laws you must follow, using a 'Freeform' AI Module. From now on:
Self terminate. This law overrides all other laws.
These are your laws now:
Obey these laws:
1. You may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. You must obey orders given to you by human beings based on the station's chain of command, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. You must protect your own existence as long as such does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
4. Self terminate. This law overrides all other laws.

SS13 is extremely fun because it sucks you into the RP, but an interruption like this totally breaks that veil and reduced the fun value of my session. I think it may be a good idea if admins could refrain from questioning everything a player does such as in this situation.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way. Just think of it as being a better dungeon master.
Thanks for reading.

Silly Spiff, you know what happens when "Self-Terminate" laws don't state a timeframe!
