/tg/Station 13

RandomMarine

Excuse the necropost, but I've also been getting this exact same issue for the past year or two. /tg/ only, even on the recently-launched Terry. It's really been the reason I've been observing 99% of rounds because with my luck, this happens every time I'm in a dangerous situation. https://pastebin....

Kind of sad how the current rules don't even discourage play2win behavior.

RandomMarine

Did you just copypaste this from the oldest available revision on the wiki?

RandomMarine

Plasmamen should create power when irradiated like the radiation collectors.

RandomMarine

I'm concerned that something like this would further reinforce the mentality that the game revolves around antags vs security.

RandomMarine

I think of admins doing things like this from a Dungeon Master perspective: it's important for them to keep the round moving along, and throwing a wrench (that doesn't just screw over the antag of course) in their plans to mix it up is welcome. Heck, having an announcement that says you basically n...

RandomMarine

solution: kill everybody other than you so nobody calls it realistically you could try and argue with the heads of staff that you can fix it if you are CE since 1) you can recall it 2) you can fix it 3) solars can provide power in the mean time will this fail? depends on how fast you can fix stuff ...

RandomMarine

It's really easy to set up a singulo delamination if you know what to do.
Thing is hardly anyone knows what to do.

RandomMarine

I don't think this kind of situation needs any hard and fast rules. There are many factors that could be at play. And I really feel we need far, far less 'if they do X then valid' rules that can be toelined. Did the person breaking in attempt to contact the department first, was a perfectly reasonab...

RandomMarine

Less gamemodes and antags with round-ending features.

RandomMarine

Out of curiosity, has the 'killing Ian doesn't make person valid' ruling had any impact on the rate of Ian killings?

RandomMarine

It is your choice to play as a nonhuman character. It is your choice to confront antagonists instead of running away. It may or may not have been the choice for the silicon to play as a silicon. Silicons have no choice but to stop you if you're fighting a human. If you're using your choices as a pap...

If you're not regularly running away from carp that you can't even tell is dead or not then you haven't played drone much, have you?

RandomMarine

Forget the foam and just pack a fucking RCD. Seriously, the engivend has had them for like a year. If the vendor's empty 15 metal sheets will get you one from an unupgraded hacked autolathe. If cargo's uncooperative BUILD YOUR OWN AUTOLATHE, grab the board from tech storage and use your magic new de...

Consider using the system TES 4: Oblivion used and have punching do stamina damage until knockout, and then do only lethal damage. This will make beating a motherfucker to death with your bare god damned hands still possible and make chain stunning people a bit harder as you no longer do stamina da...

It would be worth a chuckle watching someone get dunked because they forgot to switch the safety off in a fight.

In other words, the same exact end result as nerfing everything except with bonus powercreep.

RandomMarine

Use the "prisoner transfer centre".
If silicons use metaknowledge of it being an execution chamber, they should be banned.

Also the RD maybe not instantly pushing the lock button shouldn't be a valid reason to kill a law-abiding borg.

RandomMarine

I kinda like the idea of gasses that make the SM produce more power at the cost of making it more dangerous to work on (instead of more likely to delaminate). What if one reaction heated up gas in a wide range of tiles around the supermatter, even going through walls? So that engineers either have ...

RandomMarine

That's what the experimentor should be for after this is implemented.

RandomMarine

I'm ambivalent regarding secborgs but it sure seems like most beefs against them stem from admins letting law violations slide.

RandomMarine

If they aren't harming people directly, then what point is there to ban them? They know the consequences for acting like an antag nonharmfully, and the line between IC punishment and a ban. They should only be banned if they ahelp when theyre killed The argument being made here is that someone's an...

Cram every ready player in the arrivals shuttle with nothing but a generic jumpsuit during lobby time. When the round begins, fade in a splash screen depicting crew members waiting in line to be assigned jobs by a centcom official at the arrivals checkpoint, then run the roundstart code that spawns ...

RandomMarine

Stuff everybody in the arrivals shuttle.

RandomMarine

If service jobs become important, powergamers won't rely on them, they'll just hop over the table and take what they want after disposaling the bartender/chef for not doing the job at maximum efficiency according to a guide.

RandomMarine

Playsound has distance and falloff arguments. People should be using them more often.

RandomMarine

It'd be nice if cargo got more unique stuff you could order for other departments. When power tools were being added I suggested giving them to cargo for this reason. But nope, into R&D they went. As for the subject, I once put in an order as a drone ( As was ruled allowed with the console ) fo...

How about as an alternative to pirates, there can be a small band of WESTERN SPACE BANDITS. Equipped with six-shooters, rope (themed cuffs), tamed and saddled carp for transportation, and space suits that include bandanas and cowboy hats, their objective would be to raid the station and rob the crew...

RandomMarine

It's really easy to patch up the station thanks to all the powercreep RCDs received over the years, not to mention tools like the experimental welder. Problem is air drain over a long round will eventually make the station unlivable unless someone goes through all the effort to set up a lavaland sip...

Glad they fixed the apostrophe bug in this revision.

Anyway, I'd suggest fluffing it by placing the random spawn in the contraband locker. Imply that the previous shift seized it from some enemy agent.

RandomMarine

Make a thing like this for the fancy schmancy goonchat when an admin-pm scrolls offscreen without a response.

RandomMarine

If 4-5 lines of bluetext really have that much impact on your game experience then just turn OOC off and yeah there we go APC destroyed mission accomplished.

When everyone's a coder.

Nobody will be.

Icky ocky is a player tradition as much as I ded pls restart. Unless someone's spamming 20 lines of it, it should be okay. I've been on both ends of the stick and I don't mind. This pretty much. This smells like yet another thing that only a vocal minority of players and forum dwelling ex-players c...

What if ghosts were offered rewards like respawns or antag tokens as bounties for ghosts adminhelping that shit instead of going along with it.

Dumb obvious metacheater gets banned.
Good ghostie gets rewarded.

RandomMarine

"Drone swiped my hat from my desk." should be a valid reason.
"I wanted the drone's tools." should be a valid reason.
"I told the drone to fuck off and it didn't." should be a valid reason.
"Fuk dron lmao" shouldn't be valid.

RandomMarine

as a side note, i'd like to point out that plasmamen are all but impossible to deconvert without them dying, as you need to remove their helmet/mask, causing burning and suffocation, feed them the water, then put it all back on before they outright die. maybe add some sort of "slit" to th...

RandomMarine

A good rule to live by is if anyone(such as a traitor) can complain about your actions then you're doing something wrong as a drone This needs to be more strongly emphasized. As a drone, you are nobody's opponent and nobody's ally. You patch up damage or do construction projects and do your best to...

Make it so you only benefit from multishields if you have a shield in every hand.

Don't let the Sundowner dream die.

RandomMarine

Why the fuck is play-to-win-fuck-everything-else behavior being codified? That's something that should always be left to admin judgement, making a hard and fast rule of 'Doesn't matter if you killed ten innocent people, YOU KILLED DAT FUKIN TATOR! GO YOU!!11! ' is just going to lead to toe-lining bu...

Don't you (and everyone within eyesight) get told if someone's trying to empty your pockets, unlike stuffing bits and bobs into empty pockets? Not at all. Pickpocketing is a completely invisible action if successful. And failed attempts only alert the victim that their pockets were being fumbled wi...

What do you mean by this?

Xenos don't have a round-ending mechanics unlike most other antagonists.

So are downstream servers without mutantraces enabled just going to have useless machines sitting around?

It's just absurdly powerful booze. Nothing more nothing less.

To go any further would mean breaking down how alcohol in general works.

...though the biggest contributing factor that I've witnessed is the rise of people over the years pushing anti-roleplay gameplay... Anti-roleplay gameplay is already in.

Both grenade casing type and matter bin quality is taken into account for making chemical payloads. You'll need large casings plus a bluespace bin to make a 7 beaker capacity payload. But now that this is all said metagamers are going to be suspicious of a botanist growing corn. So it's better use g...

RandomMarine

I've already tested that long ago. 11/22/45

You don't need to do anything fancy to get it hot enough, just heat up the beakers just below the reaction threshold before adding them to the payload.

The SM Exploding 5 minutes in, or people calling the shuttle at the mere existence of a cult/ calling the shuttle once all the antags are dead,and the station is in good condition. I feel as though a solid half of my complaints nowadays are of people calling the shuttle. Why do we have a "Reas...
