Marriage

[Azfrief]

Why is marriage between two marines banned? That's just fucking silly. I can get ERP being banned but come on now. You're only hurting the potential for RP. Not to mention marriage between two soldiers currently in service is extremely common and they often deploy together. You're being silly.

While I'm inclined to agree that it's no big deal, it's also one of those rules that has so little applicability to most characters that it isn't even worth arguing over.

[Retrokinesis]

It doesn't look like it's in the new draft of the server rules that just went up, however.

[Westhybrid]

When the rule was added, the justification seemed to be that having marines as married couples seemed highly unrealistic in on a military ship in active combat, and any roleplay generated from it was a vicious cycle of cringe. It also was during a time when meta-cliques were rampant and we would have "married marines" who would go to great lengths to break marine law for their significant others, disobey orders and generally be assholes to anyone who wasn't their internet pal.

I think it's a null point to argue that it adds anything. It's too prone to becoming a Colonial Marines Dating Simulator at that point.

just date each other and erp in discord DMs, marriage adds nothing and is completely unrealistic and pants on retarded

Fair enough.

Exactly as others have said. We don't want meta friend cliques taken to a retarded extent. Breaking laws and ignoring orders just because "Muh bae" is doing something else is downright stupid.

It's unnecessary in a game and adds nothing.

You... -Do- realize that, even though it is allowed in the service nowadays ,the conditions are almost exclusively dictated by the Commanding Officer, right? If your CO really has it out against your being in the same place on deployment as your spouse, there's not a whole Hell of a lot you can do.

That being said, it would add pointless drama to the round when Sergeant Slab Hardcheese is constantly fighting with the Commander because his spouse, Corporal Starla Meatfist, had to be transferred.

Or, if Starla dies and Slab goes through a HBSOD, going full retard/Rambo..

Married couples would be an OOC and IC headache. I, personally, haven't been in the Armed Forces, but have trained for the Emergency Services. Nothing would make my job more of a headache than it already is if I have two Responders who are constantly henpecking each other instead of focusing fully on the task at hand.

One time we Thor married a predator. It added to the round immensely, us aliens had a hell if a time trying to end the wife.

Marriage is overrated.

Marriage is overrated.

[Blade2000Br]

Marriage on this game wouldn't have any use besides people abusing it to great lenghts like breaking marine law, disobey superior orders or even try "skirt" the rules with a RP justification "muh baby".

It only serves to create a hassle in the game.

[Steelpoint]

[Heckenshutze]

We should point out the people who do this and laugh at them, also giving them a nice "Big Nerd" tag on Discord

[Azfrief]

The hell are you looking at asshole?

[Build_R_]

I agree with the ban on married marines. It's nothing but trouble seeing as even regular metabuddies pose as an issue.

In the words of Hans Landa..

"That's a bingo."

[ThesoldierLLJK]

No military in the world would deploy a married couple to a combat zone.

Should just treat this like gradeschool you have a crush on a marine and RP it out. Go act out your internet boyfriend or girlfriend fantasies in another game or in PMs behind closed doors

[solidfury7]

This would never happen.

Just date them and say youre engaged.

Boom. Best of both worlds.

[ghost120]

Just date them and say youre engaged.

oh shit, this is a masterplan

[Bancrose]

Marriage is overrated.

[Bulaven]

Hmm...

Nah. Dating Marines also make me gag. Still pull the "Mai Baeb" bullshit and piss the rest of us off.

[Luftkommando]

Marriage between marines? Pfft. We all know marrying your rifle is where it's at.

[coroneljones]

Marine Law is the only woman that I need

[Royal Griffon]

I for one kind of support it I mean, marriage in the military happens but like, this IS medium rp with high rp elements that seems more high rp all day everyday to me so keep it banned in my opinion, just say you're soon to be's or something like that if you want
