What jobs need an update?

[Sundance]

I just want to add that I'm at least reading every post in this thread, as I'm sure other admins are too. Mostly I've had no comments to make that expand on what's already being discussed by you guys.

You're right that this thread contains a lot of "oh that's gonna take a while to code" ideas though. Not necessarily a bad thing though! Keep rocking you guys

I appreciate the sentiment but the problem isn't that an admin is not reading it. The problem lies when a community doesn't know what it wants. Sure, we can all agree with each other, but then we just look like a bunch of nodding heads, it's just as destructive as people disagreeing with other.

its good to bounce ideas back n forth in threads like this sundance, it helps us all formulate more GOOD IDEAS

Tell that to the Idea's & Suggestions forum. Arguably this is worse than it, as instead of discussing a central point, we're discussing a large swathe of problems, pinning down literally nothing in the process.

 
Part of the reason I mention 'hey what about blob overmind style AI' is because every single time it's mentioned, by numerous separate people, everybody generally likes it over our current system. I'm pressing the topic because there's a ton of emphasis on AI lately.

So bleh. I get your point, though. This isn't necessarily an ideal format for getting shit done.

You see, that's where I disagree. I don't think that AI is the most pressing thing that needs work. Yes, it's a damn slog at times that could use some brushing up but it's functional to a degree, it contributes greatly to the flow of the round, intrinsic even. I'd rank it on par with sec: a bit rusty around the edges but functional. While other departments; Chef, Botany, Chaplain, Medics (arguably), QM, Mining, etc, contribute nothing to the round, they have literally zero purpose outside their respective roles.

My loud dumb policy of kicking up sand is trying to prove a point: Lots of people DO feel AI needs a good chunk of work, and while I may disagree (heavily even), I'm just one voice. We need consistency and move from there. Otherwise this thread will sink to the bottom, gather dust and no longer be relevent. Much like goon will be on the byond list.
