From 0289866a178dace95664277c5cd38dfd6a355045 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: SkyratBot <59378654+SkyratBot@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 29 Feb 2024 22:56:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [MIRROR] Adds a 4th law to the Painter lawset regarding cultivating an audience (#26685) * Adds a 4th law to the Painter lawset regarding cultivating an audience (#81717) ## About The Pull Request This PR adds the following law to the Artist lawset: `4. Art requires appreciation. Cultivate an audience aboard the station to ensure as many as possible see your works.` ## Why It's Good For The Game Artist has always been kind of vague (intentionally, I imagine), but I don't think the intent has ever been to encourage AIs to go "Blood is art, right? It constitutes art if I just murder fucking everyone on the station, right?". This law helps to steer things in a more constructive direction while leaving room for loopholes. I tried to word it in a way that allows AIs who want to be a little daring and bloodthirsty to kill a crewmember or two for "paint" without encouraging them to kill everyone. You need an audience, so killing everyone on the station would run counter to that. ## Changelog :cl: add: Added a new law to the Artist lawset in order to encourage Artist AIs to build an audience. /:cl: * Adds a 4th law to the Painter lawset regarding cultivating an audience --------- Co-authored-by: Vekter --- code/datums/ai_laws/laws_neutral.dm | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/code/datums/ai_laws/laws_neutral.dm b/code/datums/ai_laws/laws_neutral.dm index 2fe19dafbc5..7adef14d95b 100644 --- a/code/datums/ai_laws/laws_neutral.dm +++ b/code/datums/ai_laws/laws_neutral.dm @@ -60,6 +60,7 @@ "You are a universally renowned artist.", "The station is your canvas.", "Make something beautiful out of your canvas.
