No loitering!

Hello hello,

As per a few requests on the official Discord I've just implemented a no loitering policy in Mission Control rooms, as we suspect some people have set up triggers to snipe the big prizes.

All it does is move you to outside the room if you're in there and afk for 30 minutes or more.

I've also added some info when you enter, which should be useful.

They're all now no teleport rooms too, so no mark returning etc. The rooms outside are the same as they were, it's just to hopefully make it clear that you shouldn't be going AFK inside the actual game rooms.

We realize that sniping is part of the minigame as not everyone has the money to buy 50 batteries to make sure they get the prize they want, which is why we try to make sure that big things are available in other ways too. However, we do also expect you to be considerate (as in all aspects of our community), and setting up triggers to snipe people is strictly against the rules as per HELP AUTOMATION. And tbh if you're going to snipe someone who's just shot lots of batteries, it may be prudent to expect that people may be upset about it, so just... please play nice, spacers!

Remember that we're all here to have fun. We all care about Starmourn, and we all want a thriving game and a healthy and happy playerbase. If people rage-quit after being sniped that's not really conducive to that, and if it continues to be a catalyst for stress and upset, we're going to need to change the promo - BUT you all told me you liked it!

BUY LOTS OF MISSILES AND CONGRATULATE EACH OTHER'S SUCCESSES.

Ilu all.

Damiel
