Marriage

[Heckenshutze]

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?

No. We should put the rules into practice, we all know that kind of LRP shit is free game for the soft griefers (mps)

.Pretty sure Lothar Jones ( or something like that)was one of em. The other I didn't t really look at since I just quickly dismissed the whole thing.

If a Commander is blackout drunk during an operation, they should have their Whitelist removed. If an XO is blackout drunk under the same circumstances, they should be job-banned.

If you can't do your job because you're being a low-RP brat, then you shouldn't be taking up the slot.

Regardless of Xenos or not, why does this continue to be put across as a good idea? I will repeat it, respectfully, until I am blue in the face: I cannot see Marriage having a part of a -Combat Oriented- server.

Because it's pretty harmless when done right, and when done wrong and used to excuse lowrp shittery it's an ahelpable offense? Not sure why this is so hard to grasp.

The amount of work an admin does is already a tall order. Not to mention when something happens that rub marines or the xenos the wrong way the Ahelps fly out in such a manner that it's almost laughable.

To clarify my stance a little. I'm completely against the ideas of married marines being on the same ship. People point out the "Muh real lyfe" argument all they want but the way I and others see it. The potential for extremely low RP (focus on the extreme part) plus the possible gateway into RP that is a ban outright is justifiable that marriage is off the table. It is allowed however that you can be partners but further than that is not a thing. It's not a case that people CAN'T RP this, it's more the fact that people generally don't RP in the first place outside of the most extreme of basics. Therefore people prod until something breaks then we'd have a massive mess that the community would have to clean up. For myself personally, I'd fuel the living shit out of this for fun and then hope I don't die of extreme cringe.

After all, the temptation for me to purge is all too real and if you add cringeRP to it I most likely will at some point.

Marriage is now banned again folks, good work.

[CaptainYankee]

The amount of push-back on this topic is staggering and frankly, disappointing.
Right now I can RP as a marine in a romantic relationship with anyone on the ship. How does that not hold the same 'dangers' as the opponents of marriage seem to fear?

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.

This topic is hardly worth talking about as an issue, and the exclusion of forbidding marriage from the new rules should have been mildly interesting at best.

Simple..

This isn't Polaris. This isn't Citadel. This isn't Paradise. This isn't Goon. This isn't Aurora. This isn't even Baystation.

This is CM.

Keep your romance, regardless of marital status, out of this combat oriented server. All other servers are prime real estate for Role-playing your love for someone else. It is not, and never will be, appropriate in a combat zone.

Mom I'm scared. I don't like this place anymore.

But I didn't see this till reading on the Discord that marriages were not allowed. I guess I'll give my ten cents on this topic while I'm at it (even though this forum topic is becoming a bit of a meme):

Having a character who is very close friends and possibly soon to be in a 'relationship' (cringe all you want) with someone else, I can say that I've had instances where I've stuck maybe a bit too close to my buddy. Once as an Engineer, which turned... Pretty bad... But I try not to let my buddy get in the way of the Op, and I don't recall ever going 'Rambo' after they've died or anything, but my character is usually just a bit more down, moody, and collects lots of dog tags. While I'm completely with the idea of people dating or even being 'engaged', I'm not in favor of married couples. I don't think it's necessarily stupid or meta-causing, but rather just... Unnecessary.

For those for married couples or getting married, the only thing I'd agree with or suggest is when you're retiring or quiting CM, that you and other said person say you're getting married with it being your last Op or something, I dunno. Hate me or cringe at me all you want.

I regret nothing and everything at the same time. I may or may not be suffering.

help me

Everything is okay.

[ColonelCorazon]

I just want to make it clear guys. I'm not mad you had multiple weddings without me. Just deeply, deeply disappointed. I'm going to have to think long and hard about who I really want to be sending my Spacemas cards to this year.

Seriously, get over yourself. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it should be banned. Romance is in CM, it will always be in CM, deal with it. Being married shouldn't be an issue, it does literally nothing. Telling people they can't roleplay being married is inane and arbitrary. Lots of players do things I find 'cringey' or that displease me, but I don't suggest they be literally unable to do it for threat of ban. Like any sensible adult, I go and bitch about it privately with my friends.

Ban weddings because they're stupid, but leave marriage alone.

Well thankfully the staff of this server disagree and thus It is now against the rules to RP as a married couple or to perform weddings on the Almayer, groundside, or literally anywhere else.

Look, I'd get your point if everyone but like a small minority wanted marriage. But the overwhelming MAJORITY of players don't want it. This isn't the server for it. Just like how Goon isn't the server for it. Some servers are meant to have this stuff, this is not one of them. It is combat-oriented. If you wanna RP RP however you want, just don't do relationships. Its simple, easy, and only maybe four players dislike the rule disallowing them to do it.

[Nantei]

Except this still allows relationship. And banning those would be even dumber. It just doesn't allow being married, which is goofy, and unrealistic.

I don't care about weddings, ban those things. People are only using them to troll anyways. But there's no good reason to hate on people being married. There's really no distinction between that and just dating.

Well thats just how the cookie crumbles my friend relationship RP is cringy asf and thankfully doesnt appear on this server often. Staff limiting it is as they have thus far is a blessing.

[Westhybrid]

Colonial Marines is not a dating sim. The concept of marriage invites low-roleplay bullshit. Would you please stop your cringe crusade.

[Lumdor]

Marriage on CM does not make any logical sense at all.

We're in an active combat operation and interrupting that with a marriage would not make sense at all.

If you wanna have a marriage there are many other servers you can go live out those fantasies.

For the future, it's not allowed, and deservedly so.

[Nantei]

Wedding is the word you are looking for Lumdor, wedding.

Well I mean the thread is called marriage.

Also the definition of marriage: the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship (historically and in some jurisdictions specifically a union between a man and a woman).

Also the definition of wedding: a marriage ceremony, especially considered as including the associated celebrations.

[Nantei]

I guess, that's semantics. But I think you get what I mean. Pre-existing marriage isn't the same as hosting a wedding because hehe gay marriage.
