Somewhat related, if I were to hazard a guess an overwhelming majority of blob wins are usually up to a few factors: 1. The station is getting spitroasted already (dynamic is so fun /s) so all the station can muster is two half dead crew members trying to beat a blob with a welder and a crowbar. 2. ...

I don’t really enjoy botany but I appreciate good botany players.

Except “goodzu” botanist. All my homies hate “goodzu.”

The issue with a text-based game is that it's going to incentivize the shortest callouts possible because you need to communicate quickly that Jane Doe is stabbing you. "Oh dear, it does appear that Jane Doe, the atmospheric technician, is assailing me with intent to kill with a duel-bladed ene...

In my experience sec either don't take the existance of the clone seriously at all. Or they kill/Perma both to be sure.

..also can we get an admin policy where if they go "adminbus/asay is saying..." or any variation of that in a ticket that it immediately becomes relevant to the appeal and needs to be disclosed? There seems to be this weird admin meta where they try to get players to pre-emptively back of...

The issue here isn't flat powergaming, it's edging our standards for what we consider good security play on MRP consistently, with a highly aggressive and efficient playstyle not always taking into account the intent of the MRP servers to make a slower paced round, which in antagonists and crew are...

Well that was an anticlimax. Oh well, the ban reason and the appeal were kind of funny in a “video game patch notes out of context” way

I was hoping for a funny appeal where someone got banned/boinked for saying krill yourself, but now I'm just disappointed.

could we perhaps remove it from rotation pending rework, im sick of the server pop dropping by 30 each time someone forces this map through on a 7% percent vote, the fucking maxcap size barrel of gunpowder in maints also is not helping Absolutely agree with this.

Context: Looks like someone made a ckeyless drone say the n word via circuit 808 times. With these instances removed, Manuel falls to 5-25 depending on if you fuzzy match on the word. "The ckeyless drone, who said the n word 808 times, is an outlier and should not have been counted" i wil...

I guess I'm a prude but I always prefer erotic stuff to be separate from my video games. I've never got the appeal of ERP. Just seems weird to me.

I did like skyrats loadout system though, that was cool (you're able to get way too much stuff though)

In my opinion, one of the best qualities of a captain is following the “Yes, and?” rule of improv. I’ve always thought of captains as being both an actual position that requires game knowledge (ideally), while also being like an admin who responds to prayers, but instead of supernatural it’s purely ...

I think greenshifts would be a lot more fun when you don't know it's a greenshift. On one hand I think it should be up to command to reveal if it's a greenshift, on the other hand command would probably never reveal it's a greenshift because it feels like 90% of the time when it says it's a greensh...

I've long held that Manuel is LRP with MRP characteristics, even saying that though, the whole "roleplay" tag is absolutely meaningless. Ask 20 "MRP" players what MRP entails, and you'll get 48 different answers. I will say after playing LRP, MRP, and HRP, MRP tends to be the &qu...

I like the idea of it but I'm not the biggest fan of being a full on antag with a partner that you can let down. At least when you're a lone traitor you can decide to not do anything or do a gimmick without annoying/disappointing a partner. With cult/revs you can keep your head down while still help...

I like greenshifts similar to how I like mid or high threat rounds in proportion. Greenshifts are great for chilling or just cooling off from a high threat round, and highthreats are good for getting everyone to let out any sort of pent up bloodlust, midrounds are great for both but it's more of a d...

Also can we get radio usage by server? I feel as if the command comms should be way more used than medical or cargo comms in my experience. I could see medical comms being used more than supply since when I'm dead I tend to notice the AI/CMO say stuff over medical comms about Gary Greytider being d...

The only thing I think is power gaming in med is filling the chem gun with powerful and deadly chems every round for no reason other than "i wanna protect myself from antag" Getting stuff to be a better healer? Not power gaming but might end up getting boring if its the same technique eve...

Yeah I’ve always taken powergaming to refer stuff like making super aids viruses as a non-antag virologist, toxins so vile they rot you to the core as a non-antag chemist, etc. Usually involving having something to kill antags easily without proper IC reasoning (this part is more the case for Manuel...

I don't understand the people that keep doing something they just got in trouble for, it's like when people get rolebanned and think that playing assistant and getting access to that department from the HOP won't get you in trouble.

airships are really cool, it's a shame that they just don't really work unless there's no wind (particularly sudden downward or upward drafts) and the weather is perfectly clear and dry

I'm against this for two reasons. 1. I don't want more mass murder pass antags. 2. Having a ausbtype type of antag (or a subclass, of it?.. IDK) having less restrictions on killing while the main one doesn't seems like an administrative annoyance and will probably just lead to people who want to kil...

I like the idea of ingame speciesism but, in my experience, it's just 99.9% "We don't serve Liggers 'round here" type stuff. There's fair arguments about issues with asimov but I don't buy the "muh TGeee loooore" as a good reason when a seemingly solid majority of players (at lea...

Yeah like you said voting does have a noise but it's a super minor ping (or something, I can't describe noises). The issue is if basically ANYTHING else is going on you won't hear it. It's why sneaking in a map vote/RTV during a high action moment is so effective. Also forbidding map votes for the f...

we should make the entire process so confusing, stressful and labyrinthine that the pure kafka dissociation will not permit you the presence of mind to see through the deception when we tell you that 418,000 people voted for birdshot next round, actually. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmPtfy9P714...

Won’t this just make the whole “start a map vote 0.2 seconds after the server resets, then RTV it so people can’t change the map” even worse? Feels like 90% of people doing it are for Tram and especially Birdshot. It also makes “I’m leaving after this round so I’m going to vote tram/birdshot*” or th...

Not sure if this counts but one of the first rounds of birdshot had this horrible issue where everything kept imploding.
