considering that nobody has bothered to make good peanut titles lately, might as well

until gradually it encompasses everyone in the community and nobody is allowed to post in it without being a cringelord

as a manuelite, what are the differences in server culture between sybil and terry?

Overall, I like it, especially the "arrest-procedures", and I think being able to read this will be excellent to new players. It's interesting that "possession of contraband" is in the "felony" category and does not itself justify perma; I think this is what the sportsm...

I tried using a shitty electric toothbrush like a decade or so ago and I wasn't impressed and kinda wrote them off, but just recently I got a good one and it was absolutely a 10/10 purchase, my teeth feel obviously cleaner after using it compared to a normal one. I'll shill them until the end of time.

PapaMichael

It's not a good game. It does have an addictive loop though.

But yeah, it's an early-access $20 indie game, gotta keep expectations in line.

PapaMichael

Everyone who gets denied, within a rounding error, requests a headmin review.
Why even bother making them ask?

PapaMichael

damn that's crazy

PapaMichael

This discussion can be broken down into two sub-questions. I think they're distinct, but constantly getting muddied together. Do we want an "regular" (non-wiz, non-nukie) antagonist who is unrestricted on Manuel, to give players the freedom to do antagonistic gimmicks that they otherwise w...

PapaMichael

Did some seemingly hardcore logdiving for a ticket of mine, it's very much appreciated!

PapaMichael

Mario Kart? I only remember the legally-distinctive brothers that had no relation to any franchises... But in all seriousness, it was an incredibly funny gimmick. I especially think WalterTruck was able to roll with the punches really well in running it (one of the racers just fucking vanished as fa...

PapaMichael

Is it anywhere near as bad as you're saying? Heretics, regardless of how stealthy they're being, shit out rifts and sacrificed targets everywhere that make their existence pretty obvious. Traitors following their objectives leave a slew of dead pets and sabotaged items across the station. Nearly all...

PapaMichael

post in ones own peanut cringe etc etc

Brother tried to play dumb when his banning admin was the log god himself...

PapaMichael

"I have this item that can kill the entire shuttle, but you're supposed to ignore it because you meta-know it's for EORG" has felt like utterly failrp and never sat well with me. It feels like Maia got noted for actually RPing and treating the TTV-esque threat as something worth immediate ...

PapaMichael

i think it would be better if paradox clones didn't always explicitly have antagonistic objectives and could reasonably just be "this guy, but dropped in from another universe by mistake". I really like this idea. Adding non-antagonist objectives kinda cuts the Gordian Knot, since the pre...

Attempt at a joke that nobody but I get

I like Birdshot too, but a bunch of things feel weird. Ordnance doesn't spawn with pumps, so you have to mooch them from atmos. Does medbay not have a crate of prosthetic limbs? Last I played there I couldn't find it. (If this is by design, that's actually kinda cool, make the doctors swipe morgue l...

PapaMichael

Release goodzu to piss off the entire crew as a nonantag without a chance of a bwoink
Sounds like a win to me...

PapaMichael

He was actually innocent?! And the button said "shoot me" instead of "don't shoot me"?!

Hollywood-level plot twists in this one

PapaMichael

What the hell is the difference between a wizard and a warlock then??

PapaMichael

Depends on the app, probably close to 50/50, grrr why isn't that an option

Discord and Byond's light modes are uniquely low-contrast and bad but aside from them I usually don't really mind it

PapaMichael

Genuine question, should I have tried to PM an admin or something? I know ban requests aren't a thing and most admins don't want to field PMs of discord snapshots from random players saying "please ban this guy"... BUT he was exceptionally vile and he was acting this way nonstop on Manuel ...

PapaMichael

Nothing more to say but I don't want this thread to end... community unification man...

PapaMichael

None of this really bothers me. I guess I assume that Nanotrasen is providing everyone with a base amount of general training. Start aggressively bwoinking people who "SSD for a bit while I pick up food" first; it's incredibly common and I really do hate it. (I also really like the headcan...

PapaMichael

IT'S A PERMA TG!!!

PapaMichael

There should be some precedent about bans and notes being strictly about what was written in the ban or note (or at least the bwoink) Jeff seems to have moderately successfully appealed the use of the shotgun, but now it's not just about the use of the shotgun, it's also about giving the shotgun awa...

PapaMichael

I wonder if the guy who made the "bring back ban requests" policy thread was thinking of him. I know I was when I saw it.

PapaMichael

Tbf, sometimes I see some appeals that look like charisma skill checks. The appellant did the most stupid bad-faith shit ever, appealed 5 days later, and now suddenly they're a renewed person with brand-new morals and I find some admins buying that. The dude spoke some truth there :honkman: Yeah we...

The problem with paradox clones is that there's actually no way to check at all that wouldn't be breaking the rules... I fundamentally disagree with this take. It's rarely done, but it's as simple as "ask the suspected clone what they've been up to this shift, and ask a co-worker or head the s...

PapaMichael

I did ahelp it. The (trial) admin was uncertain. It's not an obvious code-exploit test like, say, feeding the clone mutadone and watching their mutations not go away. I conceivably could have connected the account (although I bet >50% of players don't). I'm still interested in the other questions in...

PapaMichael

In a round I played with Paradox Clones, security's response was to arrest both of us (before one of us had done anything ), and check our IDs for bank accounts. I could have set the code from memories into the ID and didn't, so this was a skill issue on my part, but the whole thing felt pretty gros...

PapaMichael

Why do people act like certain maps are unplayable? I have my preferences too (although they deviate from the echo-chamber "non-metadelta bad" majority take) buuut every map is completely playable the map that's running has an almost negligible impact on how much I enjoy a given round; thi...

PapaMichael

How about if you vote for a map but don't log in for the next round, you lose the ability to vote on future maps for a week.

Hahaha just kidding... Unless......................

It's also possible the apartment internet setup is deranged and they've shoved everyone in the building under the same IP address (this has happened to me at a place I used to live at). Far more likely than not he's evading, but I'd want to be given the benefit of the doubt too in this kind of situa...

PapaMichael

(Full disclosure, I'm a Manuelite, your experience on Sybil or Terry may differ) The AI is supposed to single-mindedly pursue its laws (prevent immediate human harm, obey non-harmful orders from humans) and ignore everything else. The point is to add contention to rounds, since these rarely fully li...

I like it a lot. When it goes well, BB is the absolute creme de la creme of SS13, combining gaming and social/rp aspects. Maybe I just got unlucky with old BB's but most of the time I rolled it, I matched with people who SSD'd 20 minutes in and didn't bother to ahelp it, or gamers who didn't want mu...

That makes sense and fits my own experience - if I'm marginal about wanting to play vs doing something else, and I see that it's low(ish) pop, that's a big push to do something else.

Could someone with graph power make average round lengths per map? It's something I'm curious about

PapaMichael

Not that this particular case seems to hold any merit, but this IS the kind of thing where if you ask 5 different admins, you get 5 different answers.
I wouldn't ever try something like this without getting admin approval for it *in that specific round* (which is kinda sad, but what can you do)

PapaMichael

I think I agree with Dendy I think. New players fucking things up in funny ways creates some of the most organic storytelling in this game, and I don't think I want less of that. 5. Players in vital job roles require a minimum amount of effort. As a Head of Staff, you should be a reliable worker for...

PapaMichael

After 2 rounds of playing with them, you'll like them or at the very least not notice them
This is just the classic human "change = bad" (of which I myself am guilty of)
