So I've wanted to add a couple of extra hotkeys to the game (resist and walk), but the number of reachable hotkeys is getting slim. While I'll probably go with B and H, they kind of stretch your hand and take a little while to press. I noticed hotkeys mode has a couple of duplicate hotkeys that I co...

Gunpoint is pretty good. First game I've finished in awhile.

Tried 60 Seconds and Guild of Dungeoneering. But I dunno, too much fuckery. Just let me do the good things.

Amnestik

don't they call it an evidence lockup

as a fervent security player i'd expect you to know that

Either you lose early or your victory is a foregone conclusion for the next 20 minutes (i.e. the xenomorph school of game design).

Oh, and the pre-selected blob spawn points leftover from NPC blobs are hardly ideal places for player blobs to spawn at.

Just some thoughts.

Amnestik

Both security and the greytiders were really shitty in the low rules round I played, so this seems like a pretty dumb idea.

It was absolute chaos and nobody had time to treat other people fairly, so everyone was fucking everyone else over. This is fun occasionally, but it gets wearisome after awhile.

Why? For complaining about *rdm which has been against the rules *since probably /tg/'s inception?

Maybe you should get the fuck back to Nox.

Kind of wish the weapons at Centcom didn't include tasers or other stun weapons, because they kind of ruin the fun. I love maintenance on this map, always have. Finally there's enough room and confusion for antags to have clandestine meetings/bases in maint without security/valid hunters/random crew...

Haven't read the thread because reading's hard, but don't we already have this? Aren't players already warned for first-time offences if they genuinely don't know that what they did was wrong? I'd prefer to keep the list of precedents and policies public so players can actually verify that what they...

I have no qualms with banana peels anywhere on the shuttle other than the entryway. I don't care about being slipped or tabled on the shuttle, only about being prevented from boarding by someone hoping to get away with stranding/spacing a guy because the admins won't be able to tell who left the pee...

Amnestik

Why was this silently nerfed? There's actually a changelog entry for it, though I'm not sure if it was added before or after this thread was made. In saying that, there probably should've been a player feedback thread made before this was pulled. It seems to be the done thing with most controversia...

Seriously, you can remain on fire for like 20 seconds now without being critted, and body fire even extinguishes itself now. I thought it had been changed to wreck your posessions after ten seconds, but having witnessed someone on fire for at least 20 seconds today, it didn't happen. The wrecking po...

I adminhelped about two murders. He answered stealthminned (at least I'm assuming it was him, based on follow-up PMs the following round where he wasn't stealthminned), calling them funny and saying he didn't consider two people being spaced off the shuttle shuttle grief because it had been caused b...

Amnestik

Just came from a round where I and some other guy reached the shuttle last second, only to be spaced because someone had left a large banana peel under one of the entrance airlocks. I adminhelped it, and the anonymous admin who answered it called it funny and said they didn't really consider it to b...

The date and year the game takes place in is always equal to the date and year the server is located in + 540 years. The time is just the round timer + 11 hours because coders like to make things complicated. I know. It's in sync with the server's local time, and as such shift start alternates betw...

Or you died a tragic death and are tabbed out of the game waiting for the round to end?

Even though ghosts aren't kicked, why should inactive observers hold a place that new joiners might want?

Amnestik

I'm not encouraging anything. I'm just not punishing people for retaliating. It really depends on what sort of retaliation you're allowing. Shaving someone's head isn't on the same level as murder, surely. I can understand beating the person for it, but taking them out of the round seems obviously ...

Maybe you're right, but I haven't experienced that gross misuse of power in a regular round in a long time.

Amnestik

Its almost like people are attatched to their characters as a vehicle for roleplaying that you're fucking with in a very personal manner. I dunno guy. That still strikes me as pretty odd. It's just hair, you can fix it 90% of the time. If the station is fucked and you can't reach a mirror, then you...

Amnestik

I believe this is a config setting. As usual with config settings, PM the host if you want to change them. The round just turns into extended when this config option is enabled and the wizard dies. No extra antagonists are spawned, so the shuttle is called because there's nothing to do. What I'm su...

Amnestik

To me this is just a waste of everyone's time. Why not just spawn another wizard and let another player have a chance at the role, until the station can't take it anymore and calls the shuttle?

I don't go around shaving people's heads in real life, if that's what you're concerned about. I don't even do it in the game. If I did do it IRL though, I somehow doubt the victim would murder me for it. The point is, murdering someone for shaving your head isn't fair escalation. It's grossly dispr...

Amnestik

Just a lot of griefing from everyone, security and heads of staff included. I didn't like being locked up for 7 minutes by the HoP for walking into a hand tele portal and ending up in his office, but releasing every virus in a forgotten virus crate felt pretty good afterward. Griefing is enjoyable u...

This anti-lizard shit is so idiotic.

No, I don't play lizards. I don't have any interest in it. But being able to deny people access to key areas of the station/murder them for their race is fucking stupid and admins shouldn't condone it.

Amnestik

This thread is extremely dumb. Head shaving is so benign and easy to fix that next you'll be calling people valid for equally benign things, like picking someone's pockets, slipping them or tabling them. Its not about head shaving your dunderhead, its about the broader question of "If x is a j...

It'd be nice if the PDA clock was updated to be consistent with this, i.e. each shift it advances one day. But then it'd be inconsistent with holidays, so I dunno.

Having played a round this evening with normal spiders, I have to say that even those are pretty OP. Their venom combined with their bite is capable of critting after 3 or 4 hits, and the venom kills within a minute or two of crit. If you don't have a ranged weapon, and aren't near a doctor or medba...

I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I don't think this change is necessary. The worst case scenario you provided would probably never happen, and you can still make out all the icons in it anyway. I'd probably be for this though if the icon looked better, but the blue clashes with the red and...

You have to be a really shitty and vindictive person to want to stop someone getting back into the round simply because they did something worthy of perma in one of their roles.

CPTANT wrote:Balance -> wizard mode

HA.

It's a video game, so yeah, you'd expect there to be balance.

Amnestik

Perma is where fun goes to die, so I can't imagine that removing it even further from the station could make it any more interesting.

Amnestik

The reason for the incredulity in my previous response is because as Lumi has said, most players don't have ranged weapons, and one hit from an object is all it takes to make you move slower than them. As for avoiding them: most people don't have maintenance access, and all it takes is a few animate...

Amnestik

These are where the melee armor nerfs hurt the worst, in such an oddly specific situation Why would the majority of players be wearing armour? You have every advantage over an animated object, access to ranged weapons, speed, intellect, etc. In no way are they "overpowered". Seriously?

Amnestik

So full disclosure, I just came from a round where I died 2 minutes in in a station full of corpses due to a bunch of animated grilles following people around and murdering them. This isn't a new problem though. This staff has been this way for years. It's very easy to wipe out an entire station wit...

So I can potentially make up baseless information on singulo and get people I don't like banned now? Neat. The information wasn't baseless. I quoted and linked the logs that showed him killing as a non-antag and that proved he wasn't an antagonist, which was contrary to what Corruptroulette had tol...

Cut them some slack and give them the benefit of the doubt, instead of looking for problems to try to pick with them.

Been looking forward to this for a long time. Their Kickstarter updates are certainly a read.

Amnestik

What it says on the tin. They're fast, only take three or four hits to crit, and if they only get you once their venom will take care of the rest. If you don't have access to antitoxin or a sleeper nearby, then you're dead.

All these low chance antags mean very few people are going to get to play them very often. Adding more antags should mean people get to play antag more often, not less.

There wasn't meant to be any roleplay in it.

I went through the public logs and found that the last time hornygranny has logged into the game was on the 7th of June, that being twenty-six (26) days ago, from the logs he did some admin training, set someone on fire to kill them, and milled around. So essentially HG has been off for a month. Ob...
