Tried to make a three-shard supermatter in space outside the Chapel, and walked into a shard. I wholeheartedly approve; admin he.

Sergeant Araneus needs to have the securitron's and ED-209's arrest mechanics. If he sees a criminal, he runs up to them and bites them to death. Only if you can emag it. Sergeant Araneus has a specially-made SecHUD over his eyes. He's been trained to look for the big red [W] and 'arrest' anyone sh...

TheNightingale

Have the HoP and Captain on the same side, leave Cargonia and Mining to the QM, and the civilian subdepartments to their own devices (until they ally and take over with deathnettles and mopped floors)?

TheNightingale

The disadvantage is that you need semi-rare items for each (a helmet and stunbaton/prod for Beepskies; a helmet, taser and armour for EDs), and that if one is emagged, it's a lot more difficult to work out which.

There goes my mime round...

Oh, that's what they're for. Someone kept leaving buckets at Robotics at roundstart, and I was never sure why...

We don't have a hideous pink overlay when wearing science glasses (or green with mesons/NVGs), so only the luminol itself would-- Who are we kidding, this is amazing, port post-haste.

In all seriousness... An0n3, I was under the impression you'd left the community forever? Is this no longer the case?

TheNightingale

Could we get some context? Why they were originally banned, what they've done to break their probation since, how long ago this was, and so on.

TheNightingale

What if telecrystals and changeling chemical points scaled with the server population? The more people, the more things you get. It's what's done with operatives, I believe?

TheNightingale

Making a restart vote means you can't do it again for a little while. What if the round breaks and you can't restart because there's already been a vote?

TheNightingale

Beakers suddenly become obsolete as they're replaced with bottles.

TheNightingale

Does that only work for /human, or does it apply to any /mob? How about /obj? Can I spin a turf

Hypothetically if I wanted to make the floor spin, could that happen?

TheNightingale

Drones can't distinguish between the different states of a mob, though - a live space carp and a dead space carp look exactly the same, until one starts moving. "Oh, no! A carp! Am I interfering if I run aw--BZZT" Would it be possible to make hostile mobs (e.g. mimic crates, space carp, fr...

TheNightingale

The kudzu -is- the damage. "That shouldn't be there! Let's fix it."

TheNightingale

Maybe the code from the abductor's silencer device, but bigger?

TheNightingale

It'd be interesting to have drones for various purposes, but the whole cost versus effectiveness thing means we're stuck with what we get I guess. I'm dead keen on a miner specialist that spawns able to dig/shovel with its bare hands innately detects and spawns with a satchel instead of a toolbox t...

TheNightingale

You're all clear to fix a breach someone tells you about (not 'obligated' per se, because you might be occupied with another matter), but if they say "Drone, I'm fixing the chapel, don't come in", you have to obey that command. One of the best ways to get a drone to do something is just to...

TheNightingale

I love drones, but... When doing something that prevents the station's damage but might be interfering (e.g. you find a power sink; there's an active syndicate bomb; the PA is at +2), ahelp it first. Whilst stealing the nuke is undoubtedly funny and heroic, it's against your laws . So don't do it. A...

Why does an OOC matter become IC only once the victim tries (and possibly fails) to take justice on the thief? It could quite easily be both; like how someone who floods plasma as a non-antag is they're both lynched and banned. Them fighting you back for something they initiated is, though suitable ...

TheNightingale

How about this?: - Stealing things is an IC issue. - If it's something important in general (e.g. the Armory), or otherwise useful to the victim (an MD's surgical equipment, for example) and the thief stole it for no good raisin (a good raisin being 'the singularity is loose and I need a hardsuit', ...

TheNightingale

It's not the theft itself so much as the intentions behind it. I don't actually mind losing my baton as an officer, but if an assistant disarms me and takes it just because they can, that shows a lot about their motive, and therefore the punishment they seek.

TheNightingale

Nothing: No icon. This is the default. Suspect: A light blue S. This indicates 'watch this person closely' and adds +1 to Beepsky's counter. Detained: A light orange D. This indicates they're in custody... or should be. This adds +1 to Beepsky's counter. Wanted: A dark red W. This indicates 'arrest ...

TheNightingale

As a point of information, fifty units of chloral hydrate mixed with fifty units of smoke reagents distributes around 100u of chloral into a single target (in an open space, but assuming they don't move out of the way and it hits them directly). Thirty units of chloral is lethal.

TheNightingale

What we need to do is make oxygen have the flammability of plasma. Keep everything else the same, but make it hyper-flammable.

Let's make light overload events matter. -flicks Zippo on-

TheNightingale

I'd suggest porting ZAS, but we all know how that would turn out.

Baymed...ical's Runtime mechanics.

More specifically, the CMO's cat, Runtime. On Bay, you can pick her up (by click-dragging to you) and wear her as a hat, or put her on tables where she'll turn from an item into a mob in a few seconds (think drones).

TheNightingale

Suddenly, changelings run into a lot of problems.

TheNightingale

It's better to ask forgiveness than permission. The answer? Execute first, tell the HoS later.

TheNightingale

The operative looked over to the syndicate borg shell, wondering just how it got there. She could've sworn it wasn't there a minute ago.

From what I've seen through my constant lurking of the fora, Techno's quite good already. Let's hope he doesn't go mad with power and start taking over the world.

TheNightingale

Add it to their notes rather than their objectives: that way it won't display at the end of the round, but will still be shown if they look (optionally, display the notes at roundstart, like with syndicate PDA codes).

TheNightingale

How about a big, bright red message saying; "YOU FORGET EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR GANG LIFE" when loyalty implanted? If Security wants a gang member to snitch on their allies, they'll have to try a little harder than just implanting them. Did you not even click on my link? I clicked on it, wr...

How can people being in your core lead to them being harmed? Unless you laser them, they're not getting hurt in there. It's arguably the safest place on the entire station. There isn't much people can do in your core if you say 'I'm letting Assistant McTater into my core for a while' over comms. Car...

TheNightingale

Yes

Sometimes I let people into my core if I'm feeling generous. It catches them off-guard when they're planning to card and wipe me. (And I make a great pAI with wireless enabled.)

TheNightingale

At worst, an Assistant forced into, say, Engineering, will 'accidentally' release the singularity, with the claim that 'I don't usually play Engineering so it was an accident honest'.

Just putting that one out there.

If Space Law is an IC guideline, why does it matter whether the HoS approved or not (therefore making the execution legal under Space Law)?

TheNightingale

The 'Use of Deadly Force' is for "diffus[ing] a situation" involving the circumstances above: that is to say, 'when can an Officer laser someone in combat?'. This comes under executions, and raises two questions: First, was the execution legal, given the circumstances of the Brig and the d...

The geneticist hadn't actually hit you at any point with what is effectively a non-lethal object. Geneticists are capable of monkeying and humanizing people at the drop of a hat so it's in no way fair to call it a deadly weapon or actually lethal in this circumstance. Just like with succumbing, we ...

If you can get a full stack of gold from cargo, you should be able to process it into a sickass gold chair.

TheNightingale

Personally, I'd have bucklecuffed him in a patient room in a muzzle and straitjacket. Though if anything, the community response to this case should give some indication as to what the players consider acceptable punishments for misbehaving crooks.

How about for law 2: "Punish those who harm or threaten innocents, and do not harm or threaten innocents yourself"? Eliminates a few loopholes regarding committing a harmful act honourably (e.g. challenging someone to a duel, then doorcrushing them). Also, how do you punish someone - law t...
