Isn't setting up a competing kitchen a rules violation? Not to mention is more work than setting up an entire new medbay.

As someone who's often interested in a high popcount when playing because I prefer roles whose content is based off player-player interaction density, I wouldn't personally be interested in going on Basil below ~20 pop no matter the ruleset. I like Manuel more than Terry, but if Manuel has 21 player...

If you want to avoid the "theres a zillion assistants and nobody wants to deal with that", isnt there a config setting which controls the ratio of "open assistant slots" vs "sec officers in round" or something?

Not-Dorsidarf

why make a peanut if you don't have anything to say

Not-Dorsidarf

Theres definitely at least some people who join in, see its a map they dont like, and immediately run mapvote

If you aren't invalidating someone else's expected job content against their will, I dont think you're breaking the rules. So if the chef is just a bit behind the ravenous hunger of the crew, you're crossing a line by installing the Diabetomatic 3000 across the hall, but if he's insisting that he wi...

Suspiscious is very useful, I use it extensively for "dont trust that guy"

If you see someone getting flashed at roundstart and think that they're actual revs, your #1 priority as anyone other than sec should be to run away and then start screaming on radio, not pull out the... weapon you apparently have and run at the apparent headrev. You know, the person who can instant...

I dont know how they work but theyre kinda cool.

1. Radsuits are criminally underrated for engine issues. 2. Cant stress enough that turning the scrubbers on is the last thing you do in a setup before starting the emitters 3. Engineers regularly forget to maximise the into-the-sm pumps and vents, double and triple check those 4. You do not need al...

and finally, worth its own post because it's so important: if the game would be made worse by enforcing the rules in that specific situation, consider not enforcing the rules. If only this statement was considered so important to the community that it was placed in some kind of prominent place, lik...

oh shit

You could say a lot about this but in the spirit of Wine's quest against thoroughness we can keep it down to "Rare dragmeme L"

Not-Dorsidarf

I feel like "know everything about ingame mechanics" is meant to refer to things like what antags can do and how their powers work, not "This person did a thing that literally only exists in OOC logic but indicates they're an antag, so they're an antag". It would be like if you ...

Not-Dorsidarf

I also agree with goofball that deleting bad-faith / lying appeals is incorrect. If someone is making shit up about a ban in their appeal to stir trouble, closing it and saying "This appeal is inaccurate, you were banned for X, Y, Z, there's nothing more to it" is probbably playing into th...

Interesting idea, do you think threat should have a minimum floor so there's never a round without antags? Seems like the easiest solution to greenshifts being bad.

Oooof, stepping directly in a bear trap with that one.

Not-Dorsidarf

this might sound embarassing but I only realised Northstar has a massive service department just now when i looked it up on the webmap. I dont think i ever go there, or really to the entire zlevel.

Not-Dorsidarf

actually how do i get a photo album anyway

Not-Dorsidarf

I think its significantly worse in that it doesn't have anything going for it. All the other controversial maps have something to like. Norfstar has a very unusual ship theme and layout with masses of Z-level play, stairs, ladders, and elevators everywhere. Icebox is a planetstation with Z-level pl...

Not-Dorsidarf

huh, I wonder what happened to their photos.

Not-Dorsidarf

Birdshot is the worst map in rotation. I don't think that statement should be remotely controversial. It isnt OMGWTFBBQSUXXORS like ooc crybabies scream, its just not as good to play on as any of our other maps. Removing it from rotation is unlikely to do anything to pop though, I'm pretty sure tha...

Not-Dorsidarf

you don't have to ignore who's in the community and what they're doing to recognize that the community or label doesn't belong to them until it actually does - until then, we should avoid analysis by labels if we don't want collateral damage I just don't get the angle of a term which is itself a sh...

Yeah Ive always used Discharged for "Sentence served", no status for "cleared charges/baby crime nobody cares about" and Paroled for "Letting you go for other reasons"

Not-Dorsidarf

i mean its not like meta became popular with the box crowd overnight, it took a while

Not-Dorsidarf

How did meta become more powerful than Boxstation given the incredible social inertia of box being the only map 90% of the tgstation playerbase played before rotation came into being?

Ninjas are too good at killing people with absolutely no counterplay to be given a license to murderbone. If you wanna get in fights with your ninja sword, go do your objectives to piss everyone off so they start hunting you.

Hard valids on MRP suck. It's a big horrible unfriendly rat that spreads stink, causes trouble, and has a dangerous gang of killer mice. Roleplay appropriately. If the captain is negotiating cheese rights and johnny sec walks up and blasts it wordlessly, let the captain drum him outta the force for ...

I often play manuel just because it doesn't have terry pop. 90 is a bit stressful sometimes, 45-60 is a lot more manageable.

Some of the voices are really obnoxious but the increased situational clarity is great, like the move to the speecht-above-head feature all over again

An excellent mission! How kind of the aliens to deliver XCOM some much needed supplies right before the budget crunch.

The issue with increasing the amount of heretics onboard the station is that you'll end up with situations where every single corner and square inch if the station will be covered in rifts that remove people's limbs and make them want to kill themselves. Science never does anything about them eithe...

Not-Dorsidarf

Then there comes alot of hypothetical context situations like if your own head siccs security on you to confiscate your job content I think any evidence that your own head was evil in the first place would invalidate security's meta protections since they are just being used as pawns by someone who...

What I'm discussing is that we have roles whose own gameplay involves handling their departmental direction, or keeping the station from getting out of control as sec. If the RD, Captain or Sec say not to have a combat mech without an obvious use, then they're within their rights. And that's just a...

Not-Dorsidarf

That's only sorta true. A combat mech without any arm equipment can't do much of anything. But a mech with arm equipment attached, no matter what that equipment might be, can punch down walls and objects, punch people (even hard stun if it is a durand) and generally engage in a bit of the ol' mech ...

This kinda seems like the exact opposite of everything we've ever tried to do with Manuel.

I definitely think A).

"Its Ians Birthday" -style laws and "go do whatever" or "john melons is the only human "(with no other laws) should count as purged, anything more imposing than that should count as lawed.

(Its worth noting that sec ONLY have metaprotection when arresting you for an obviously valid reason. If they decide to just trash the department and break all of Science's very expensive work, that's escalation and they get no more protection than a greytider does. Only the threat of intense brutal...

I personally view an RD saying "dont build mechs" to a roboticist without a good reason (I need the points for something else right now / we have no mats / etc) as being more or less on the same level as the CMO telling the chemists they're only allowed to make meds in the chemlab. Its no...

Isnt it generally already the case that the more effort you go to try and stop your eorg devices being used, the less trouble you get in when shithead 13 manages to activate them anyway? Like if you're holding a ttv in your hands and joey grey shoves you and activates it, that's different to if you ...

You could probbably just add "Admins may instruct players to stop using overplayed/spammed gimmicks or playstyles at their own discretion, even if no rules are being broken" to rule 7 or 6 or something, and leave the detailed explanation about how its toxic to the server in the rp rules.

Not-Dorsidarf

For anyone wondering if something like this can be detected in-round before the (multiple) bugs that made this invisible on logs are fixed, the admin Secrets tool "list signalers" logs all signal pulses and their sender in a round, though like most Investigate tools I don't believe it's ad...

This has just struck me, but why was Northstar made to be the only map where fore/aft/port/starboard don't match with north/south/west/east directions? Obviously that cant be changed now but maybe thats why people get lost so much?

Not-Dorsidarf

this is your daily reminder that you dont have to follow stupid and annoying orders Yes you do, you just don't have to follow obnoxiously unreasonable ones. The order in question was more like "Come with me I need you" and the borg just didnt want to because they were busy doing something...
