True, we should let people do whatever with barriers. I see wardens use them to make the brig entrance into a 1x2 all the time. It’s fine imo, warden is there to guard the brig and him fortifying should be like the CE setting up the SM. I'm still not a fan of doing this at roundstart, because it do...

Gupta will return one day, right?

britgrenadier1

so a server died because people followed the pop, so lets try to split half the people from one server and have two medium pop servers rather than one highpop server. Am I getting this right?

britgrenadier1

I wonder how long the dude was held for, if it was just for the shuttle timer then I'd say yeah GG go next. Usually we see admins apply notes on people that DC and say "Appeal it on the forums." Very interesting!

britgrenadier1

Sometimes I just want to run a shotgun over a disabler for funzies. Being prohibited from doing that would be lame so we should allow sec to take less than lethal weapons out of the armory roundstart. I think I would be okay with this, but I'm not sure about roundstart. I worry that it's going to l...

I think that is the wrong mindset to approach the dynamic of admin. They're not a series of hammers to apply when necessary, they're guideposts to help demonstrate and coach players towards server-healthy decisions, and help foster a more enjoyable experience for everyone 'fairly'. They're written ...

viewtopic.php?f=54&t=34333 I knew this guy sounded familiar. This makes this the second time he has received a ruling in an ahelp and then gone for a complaint afterwards because he didnt get his way.

britgrenadier1

This is why you need shadowplay while playing ss13. Logs are great but man do people just take them at face value without thinking much about it.

britgrenadier1

100% deserved after that level of conduct breach. I’m just not sure how the servers will recover. Who will admin lowpop now?

Crazy since Manuel's #1 hero Jeff "Gaming" Gaiman once gibbed like all of sec as a traitor chef and turned them into burgers. To my knowledge he was not banned for it. I wonder what extra context the ban appeal will provide as to why this was against the rules.

britgrenadier1

eka when they have the opportunity to piss and moan about a sever they have never played or observed a round of: Holy... this was on Sybil! When I read that a single antagonist had wiped the floor with such a huge portion of the crew, I expected Manuel, but this was SYBIL. He went up against ROBUST...

britgrenadier1

i personally have no desire to change this. we just had a war on all fronts to get threat reduced because mrp was becoming dysfunctional with how rapidly rounds were escalating. there will be downtime in rounds. you will run out of things to do. you will run out of antags to fight. this is compound...

britgrenadier1

The issue is people calling the vote the second the round restarts and thus bird and icebox are the only options. The only time I’ve seen this fixed was Keith on Terry re rolling a bird vote.

britgrenadier1

FTR Midround Traitors were disabled as a part of a "test" 4-5 months ago. Not sure if anything came about it. (But evidently they're still off) Right now it feels like 5 sec officers show up and curb stomp a singular traitor and then the threat is just gone. I don't like the idea that we ...

britgrenadier1

Agreed. We could use some more plot drivers and general action on Manuel. Right now it feels like 5 sec officers show up and curb stomp a singular traitor and then the threat is just gone.

damn bro got banned and then they made an event afterwards doing the exact stuff that got him banned. Which reminds me of when that one guy got banned on Terry for minion RP and then 2 rounds later on sybil an admin gave the sec team minion outfits and renamed the HoS to Gru. Out of context, this w...

I do not like ripping unique content from parts of the game and throwing it into roundstart. Shouldn't have been done. Unfortunately, too much of the game is locked behind one of the most antisocial roles. This is one of the more reasonable of the slime/jelly roles so it would be nice to see it inc...

britgrenadier1

Voiding metaprotections is weak sauce since people are always gonna resist anyway. Sec on mrp run around with tot gear and don’t care since non antags aren’t gonna murder sec mains for arresting them even if they somehow manage to successfully turn a fight around. I think this rule doesn’t change mu...

britgrenadier1

The pace of changes was alright, it felt a bit breakneck at times. It seems like this current headmin term is slowing it down and letting people digest the changes, which is good. Succession station was awesome, I hope xemo continues it after their term. We had some big ban drama too, with the cat c...

idk what to tell you. If everyone is telling you that your hypno objectives aren't good and aren't fun mayhaps its time for some introspection?

I would hate to see changes to how virologists play due to one race being enabled.

Seconded

britgrenadier1

What i'm seeing here, -and there may be more nuance than this- but what i'm seeing is a bunch of people telling an antagonist to get LESS creative on MRP. In an environment where we are consistently told antags should not play for greentext and build their own objectives, a bunch of people are tell...

britgrenadier1

As long as “Sometimes I want to make engineering Fort Knox because it’s cool” is a valid reason then I think it’s fine. If people are fortifying roundstart once in a while just to test their building skills or whatever we should let them do that.

britgrenadier1

we should instead remove stealth ops from ever being a thing. The station suddenly exploding at 35 minutes is no fun for anyone. War is incredibly fun. Obviously anything can be an opinion. but you're wrong. war ops sucks. The entire round becomes arming oneself and preparing for death. THIS SUCKS....

britgrenadier1

It's for reasons like this I am willing to remove the note so long as you understand the contents of it. "If you say uncle I'll remove the note" Either the note is right or wrong (it’s wrong btw). An admin should never essentially say “Admit that I’m right and I’ll remove the note.”

the optics of being a very well known antag player and then applying note(s) on captains for "validhunting" is insane, btw. This is, generally, the reason why people tend to dislike him. He's a great admin, funny person, but coddles antags a lot in tickets. Probably an understandable over...

britgrenadier1

This isn’t how the conflict plays out. Either they screech that they are being killed and a Borg intervenes Skill issue, remove their headset before you execute them. or they law 2 a borg while being dragged to the brig. Skill issue, countermand their order. "Borg, I'm not harming them, I'm ar...

Silicon players do not play in good faith enough to earn the lenience of tipping and not death in my experience. They will hold grudges and doorshock kill you later. It’s fine if you want to rigidly follow laws and try to stop me from arresting someone, and it can be just as okay to kill them in re...

Greg is genuinely a good player, but he does tend to explode at people in discord. SS13 tilt is real.

Late question since I already voted, but are there any standout mrp rules you’d take a crack at if you win a second term?

Good context, keep the note, RIP to the viro RNG btw its a pain. Also 17 resist is hella high, what's the transmission on that if you get resist to 17?

additionally creation of a harmful virus by virology is in its self fine and part of the job... So here's the thing. If I'm sec and the AI alerts me that the viro is making AARDS or something, they're toast. I've been on the giving and receiving end of these types of raids and frankly, because of t...

Events don’t need to be the focus of a round to be great. One of my favorite admin events was on Sybil where an admin made it so that anyone who said the word “Bingus” would have the antique teleported to their hand. Simple, silly, awesome. I had a gunfight with a traitor that round where we were bo...

Sybil is simultaneously an old person's home and the landing pad for most new NA players. You run into old legends that can't cut it anymore alongside the newest and baldest motherfuckers you've ever met. we will not have revisionist history Manuel is the tutorial server / retirement home when mech...

Some thoughts since manny seems to roll this map 2-4 times a day minimum: The foot traffic is super concentrated around the brig front entrance, kitchen/bar, and botany. All of the other places on the station feel incredibly empty, which is a weird feeling for a lowpop map honestly since birdshot is...

huge skill issue to anyone who loses in melee to unarmed people TBQH. High damage weapons are still king, the only difference now is that unarmed people actually have a fighting chance if they know the combos well. Personally I love it, it kicks ass
