Do we need a special rule against bombing the diner on RP?
#13
I feel a lot like a bit of common sense judgement can be applied where against considerable evidence to the contrary of spacemen that if you check Cousin Buttes the clown isn't remodeling the place or someone hasn't set up the bar, ask around and do it at the end. Same for the mining outpost, which some rounds it going to be a thriving hub some rounds is completely abandoned. The VR thing's there and there's other debris you can go blow up if someone's using it.

There's plenty of RP to be milked out of the proposal as well, not just like Kotlol rightly points out for admemes, but any antags using the place might actually be -delighted- to have a bomb delivered nearby. People can if they so please actually feel compassion for Bill, the good father and chippy and move them to the station, set them up a nice pad. Science could turn it into a fireworks show and get engineering to build a HIGHLY SAFE observation post nearby.

This is a personal opinion that I'm not hugely invested in so I'm fine with whatever approach we took here, but I don't think this is as much whether blowing up a semi-used facility is a breach of good RP but more that the application of doing so often lacks any effort to RP. I certainly think you could in fact make something of it for or against, and if a scientist blew up anywhere without trying to engage with people RPing that's a different problem worth ahelping. But I don't automatically assume a plasma research station in a corporate spacescape is above selecting populated locations for bomb testing. We uh, well, it's not stopped us before in reality.
