LLJK1's AI and You

[Mordent]

I'm pretty sure the AI is treated the way it is now because of a couple turbonerd silicons who would destroy the station every other round. People hardened to silicons, new people joined and saw this, memetic mutation.

Not sure why people are being shit on Destiny though. I can understand on Cog2, but Destiny should be pretty well insulated from shit. Outside of, you know, horrible laws that people think are amazing. That's just because people are dumb.

Given yesterday's shenanigans on LLJK2, LLJK1 saw a bit of an influx of players from LLJK2. It attracted both those who enjoy being trolls - someone pointed out in deadchat that if you enjoy trolling and the whole game is chaos, you go elsewhere to do it - and those for whom Ass Day was just too much (and, hopefully, had a decent time on LLJK1).

To that end, there was definitely a good amount of anti-AI rhetoric. I was insulted probably five times as much as usual for not giving someone access, partly because of the sheer number of "AI, let me in to security to get guns" requests and partly because I guess the players as a whole were more inclined to shit on the AI, and that encouraged others.

Fortunately, the AI core remained untouched during this. In the end, though, of my last round of the night I ended up sending a quick "I'm out of here" adminhelp and suiciding because I simply wasn't enjoying myself. People were treating the AI, as others have said, as a glorified doorhandle. Despite there being a roboticist on, I never got a cyborg. People simply didn't respond to my call outs of downed crew. The entire station's leadership were off on telescience adventures and seemed oblivious to the fact that over half of the ship-side crew were dead because people have no idea how to deal with the random radiation event and slowly cooked while screaming for help instead of getting to the maintenance tunnels.

Basically: normally LLJK1 is tolerable for AI to play on, but people need to remember that there's a player behind it who's just here to have fun as well.
