Marriage

[Bulaven]

Let me be clear:

Attending a wedding, on a combat vessel, during a Search and Rescue/Search and Destroy mission, despite being given -Clear- orders to get the fuck to work by Command Staff, -IS- an arrestable offense.

If you are protesting against the orders of Command, because Command is telling you to do your -Job-, which, from a lore standpoint, YOU VOLUNTEERED TO DO... You should really consider who is in the wrong in this particular situation.

[Arbs]

The situation was very poorly handled by the MPs and CO obviously. They should've volunteered to be the chaplain and deploy an M56 on the altar and execute everyone in the room.

Until death does you part.

[KeyWii]

That may have been the stupidest thing I have ever seen happen during a round.

I have absolutely no sympathy for how the MPs shut it down, no military force in their right mind would pause a Search and Rescue operation for a wedding.

[Nantei]

Well duh, but it was fun. If you were going to have your characters get married, doing it in-game is a pretty awful idea. The only way I would ever be like, "No this is reasonable," is after evac before the ship comes back up because you have literally nothing better to do. I am surprised anyone cares honestly. It was a little thing that got dealt with.

[Sleepy Retard]

The intent of the marriage was to get the rule removed, from what I heard in CM discord - from torrentia. I didn't actually go, I was just running around the ship being a shit.

[Rohesie]

To allow marriage would be the end of our traditional morals and values, weakening the fabric of military society and impeding the sound functioning of the marine corps.

The amount of buzz this is generating is clearly indicating that our RP shenanigans are working as intended.

Just wait til they see what's gonna happen next

Ironically, MPs cost the operation a lot more than a simple marriage would have. Both Bride and Groom taken out of the round (that's a doctor and an engineer) as well as several marines arrested and a load of time wasted. Everyone rushed their prep and sacrificed their own loadout preferences to make it as quick as possible. We're lucky it wasn't a xeno round or the MP tomfoolery would have cost us the round.

[Torrentia]

We had a wonderful gay marriage officiated by the CO! Congrats to the Man and his new Husband!

[Mann handle]

All of you, against the wall now! You're being purged for some gay ass shit you conducted during a combat operation!




Honestly, this raises some worries about some seriously cringe worthy arr pee. Am I going to come back after a couple of days away (growing funky shit as a botanist) to find that everyone is married in some manner and the cat is currently best husbando that the CO and XO start fighting over with the SOs watching round the corner getting all flustered?

Will the MPs become the military morals squad upholding good morals on the ship such as no headpats, bullying and hand holding? After all, marine law is shit so why not change it into the public morals board.

Will this become one of my Japanese animes?

Will my 'marriage' with some yandere from charlie be canon? If so, every round I'll just OD on something and climb into a disposals unit. (dear god that was somewhat memey for a round)

Does this mean I can conduct my experiment and see how every single person, commanders included, react to head pats. At least that will give science something to do.

Dear god, does it mean that divorce will happen and marines get to watch the blood bath occur?



I'm sure you could tell that part was a shit post to a minor degree but honestly, I only see bad things if this became mainstream. I sure as hell would love to fan the flames to such extremes and see where this will go not want to pick up the pieces when this hits the fan at mach 5.

Sir. It is my duty to inform you that this shit is currently in the process of hitting the fan, and the fan is in danger of breaking.

Please tell me you have a shovel? The amount of meme-ish bullshit stemming from this is getting deep enough to necessitate waders.

I am disheartened to find that the man known as Bronte Houston is now part of this sick fetishism against his will.

On a serious note... Just what are we trying to accomplish by allowing marriage? It's.. Useless.

You serious? I'm in both wedding photos and aside from MPs screwing around both rounds were normal. Not even really notable rounds.

Well. Let's be honest, here... What, exactly, are we gaining by taking a Doctor and an Engineer, throwing a ring on them, and having them possibly fuck-off from their departments for a mini-honeymoon?

Just saying. If the arrests are a waste of resources, then, by proxy, the marriage is responsible for the arrests, ergo, the marriage was a waste of resources in the first place.

Not to mention the friction caused by an idiot running from their post when shit goes south in the worst possible way to go find their Waifu in another department.

This happens frequently regardless of whether or not the individuals are married. Hell, half the time an MT or Doc goes SSD in a chair somewhere anyways. How is removing a slot from each of those roles better?

That's an interesting twist of logic there. With that line of reasoning you can pretty much blame anything you want for the issue.
E.G. This man who was mugged, if he hadn't been there he wouldn't have been mugged, therefore he's responsible for the mugging.

My original comment was trying to figure out what shit was hitting which fan? And how is it close to breaking?

Well. Fair way to put it: One man plans to be wed. The other does not plan to be mugged.

See here. This is the fan.. Label it, thusly, as the 'Fanbase'. The 'Shit', as I so candidly put it, is the amount of debating, time-wasting, and general meme-machining caused by the utterly ridiculous notion that we should be able to hold marriages in a combat zone, or, alternatively, allow married couples aboard the Almayer.

So. While it's not a 'Make it or break it' argument, it's still approaching the realm of absolute lunacy. Really. Why must we have marriage on the server? What could possibly benefit the Marines with this ceremony? Please, with due respect, spare me the "Interesting Role-playing" argument. I do not mean to be throwing that in your face, but, in a combat zone, I highly doubt that love and marriage take precedence over the original mission which the Almayer had been diverted for in the first place.

It's a pointless thing to argue for, unless there is a day when the Administrators decide to hold a 'Shore Leave' event. That's the only way I could reconcile its implementation.

[Nantei]

I already made my stance pretty clear on weddings. Marriage is the thing I want, not weddings. The only way I would have my character married in-game would be under very specific circumstances with a lot of people wanting it. Otherwise? Never, absolutely never. I can't imagine it being very pleasant honestly. That cringe wedding was literally designed to be cringe, so using it as an example of, "SEE? MARRIAGE BAD!" is pretty ridiculous.

[CABAL]

Now I'm thinking... It's RP based and it's screwing the marines = Good. Like I was against becouse of possible "Metabuddy" issue, now I can see clever Marine Mains. If we will suck like 10-12 round in the row (whole day) then ratio will go 100-0 for xenos and we will get sweet buffs and ugly, pesky Xeno Mains will get nerfs. Neat!

Looking from a player perspective... It's just giving admins more work to do. Great! They will have to look for possible "Metabudding" besides their standard job and giving them more is OK for me. If they will fail then we will welcome Second Great Purge and then I will say: "Can you belive it all started becouse of Marriage... Ironic". Seeing wives and husbands getting killed in the field? Sweet walls of text for my eyes.

Whitelist it, though. Just an advice.

[Dolth]

That was fun and people should stop being so serious about it. It's just a meme among the many other we have.

[Sambalu]

People just don't like the idea of in-game weddings being a thing. Personally, I'm not a fan of this marriage thing, but whatever. Having a wedding during an active operation does seem a tad too silly though, and I wouldn't want it to happen regularily.

I was playing a round yesterday and during g a code red with a xeno on board I was in the cic corridor after the XO got attacked.
These 2 marines wanted into cic so I asked what for? (Kinda busy with code red and whatnot )

They wanted an officer to change their last names to match eachother because they were just "married"

These 2 gay marines wanted to distract bridge staff to cater to their marriage rp during code red.

I told them to fuck off but a more lenient LT later d8d the swap for em.

I think it's silly.

Kind of my point. If I wanted to cater to idiots, since I generally play Bridge Staff anyway, I would be playing on Citadel Station.

Seriously.

This is becoming a bad joke.

Who exactly did this? The only gay marriage I know of happening was during a zombie round...hence no xenos.

Low-rp shittery isn't exclusive to this kind of self-manufactured rp. Just had a round where the XO, as aCO got blackout drunk severely impacting command. Maybe alcohol should be removed too?
