Destiny & RP on Goonstation

[BaneOfGiygas]

Sure, I would have been instantly skeptical, and would have no doubt declined to touch the thing, but I'd have given a much better reason for it.

Basically this. There are plenty of good, in-character reasons to not touch a weird thing that a cyborg is shoving in your face; if you can't come up with one and end up simply resorting to the meta explanation of "because it'll turn me into a cyborg", you're doing this whole thing wrong.

"Why won't people touch this artifact which fucks up their round? What awful RP!"

The fact that you stating that your core tenet of RP is everyone having fun was immediately followed by a message that not only completely misses the point of the entire message but instead elects to make a critique of someone's RP tactics solely based on your opinion (cyborgification ruining rounds is, at the end of the day, an opinion) is making me less and less willing to even continue this discussion until you at the very least respond to the main point of my message instead of just replying to the tail-end of it and calling it good enough.
