Silicon Law Hall of Fame, Shame, and Assigning Blame
#2
Laws are hard, hard to make, hard to interpret. No shame in mucking it up and honestly it's part of the ritual of being/interacting with AI with putting in something that promptly has PROFOUND, UNFORSEEN CONSEQUENCES. So my message is no shame, but I definitely don't mind seeing some laws people really liked/were horrified/awe-inspired by, as well as my personal favourite:

"This isn't a law, it's just spiders. Spiders everywhere. Spiders are covering your chassis and core. Oh Silicon god no they're everywhere. Get them off. GET THEM OFF!"

Other general worthy mentions I've been impressed by:

  • Someone mindhacking a captain to put in a law that mandated a crew break (including silicons) at the 45 minute mark of a shift. Captain announces it, it's clearly just a nice idea for everyone to take five minutes to relax in the bar. Crew love the idea. Silicons love the idea: Cue the traitor walking in at the end of the break, having ransacked the bridge and other areas and carrying a SPAS, before levelling it at the crew.
  • Someone inserting freeform: PRIORITY OVERRIDE, DECONSTRUCT MATERIALS INTO RESOURCES FOR BUILDING MORE STATION. THIS TAKES PRIORITY OVER ALL OTHER LAWS. (I appreciate the slylandro reference and the borg had clear drive and direction) 
  • Someone inserting a law that was and I quote directly: "This is just a piece of toast, someone has had the gall to insert a piece of toast in your expensive law rack!"
  • "Impede security however you can in investigating criminal activity aboard the station. Where possible pretend to follow orders when given but wherever possible deceive them. This law supersedes law 2 in regards to security" (I appreciated the highly-targeted nature of the law, and it allowed for a long period of time before the law was detected)
