What is the goal of Space Station 13?
to tell a story
Right. And, and my point is almost... If the player does nothing, will a story still happen? Will the game create a story even if the player doesn't press a button? If so, then it would seem odd to try to put any responsibility on the player to make that happen. ... Okay, so now having gone through all that, I now realize and/or understand that what you're afraid of is people bringing things into the game that are from outside of the game. That's why you have an Out Of Character chat option. ... Now, what if you were never in character to begin with? Then you would say,

That's not what LLJK1 is for.
I see... I SEE! ... Or do I? ... I wonder about an anarchy server... What is the difference between Light, Medium, and Heavy RP?
Am I talking too much?
Imagine four RP servers on the edge of a cliff.
The first one tells you to click drag themselves to a nearby square cus they were a noob and wondered what would happen they went off the cliff. Then when it takes to long to do, they tell you not to sweat it and let go, outing to wait for the next round.
The second one asks you to help pull them up, then explains the mechanics to you over looc before telling you to put you hand out for them. When it takes a while for you to wrangle the controls, the RPer waits patiently, making jokes about being stuck on a ledge while they wait.
The third one squeals out an impassioned cry for help! Your heart skips a beat as you find a haggard crewman hanging from the edge of a cliff. He begs to you, please, pull him up! But you hesitate; could you lift a grown man? You're not sure enough to risk it, so you tell the crewman that you'll find help, don't worry, leaving the hysterical crewman, praying he has the strength maintain his grip. You return moments later with a security officer and a bundle of rope in tow. The officer calls dowm to the crewman, sir, please remain calm, help has arrived! He lowers the rope to the crewman, beads of sweat forming under his brow. The crewman, trembling and weak grabs ahold of the rope, clinging for dear life. You and the officer pull with all of their might, the crewman inching upward to safety-- but he slips! You and the officer dive to catch the crewman, but they're both powerless buy to watch as he plummets to the rocks below. A funeral is held in his honor, and his life insurance policy pays out to his family. The officer still to this day blames himself letting the crewman die, and you go on to give safety seminars to the other crewman, hoping to never let this happen to anyone else.
The fourth goes brain-dead in a locker. Someone pushes it off the cliff, but the survive cus container code is fucked.
