Sligneris, the round was already basically over, the only thing you didn't get was a flashy screen at the end saying you won, you already had won and it was a silly victory at that. There was literally one sec officer, and no other resistance to speak of, not to mention being the third round like th...

Seriously, can you lock this? Goofball got his panties in a twist over catpeople and now he's literally just trying to be shitty and rile people up.

I now feel incredibly silly for my lengthy reply now that I know they're gone. This is what happens when I don't play for a few days ;_;

Sweaterkittens

Honest to god, one of the hardest things about getting people to open up to the idea of Plasmamen was the fact that lizards had made such a poor first impression as nonhumans. It's too bad, because nonhuman races are very cool, and add variety and roleplay potential. If people are interested, and li...

Hello all! I'm sorry for the lack of updates and general silence lately, I've been bogged down with work and have not had a chance to line everything up in order to give you guys a thorough update. Since everything that needs balancing or fixing has been flagged, I'm mostly just hanging back and let...

If I'm not misinformed, I do believe they suffer the penalties of being a "mutant race", and therefore are restricted from command roles as well as being considered non-human by silicons. I just don't think there's been much of any formal policy discussion regarding the latter, but I do be...

The light blue one is the air line. The traitor routed plasma through the air line, which then went into distro. Do you even know how atmos works? The dark blue one IS THE REST OF THE STATION. You seemed completely oblivious to the fact that anything in the "Dark Blue Pipes" Aka, the distr...

I would like to clarify that it did not look like I was trying to continue pumping plasma AT ALL . This is where logs would be really handy. He scanned the air mix pipe, HE EVEN AGREED THAT THERE WAS NO PLASMA IN IT. I remember distinctly that he said "Yeah it is" when I told him it was cl...

Dunno if this was mentioned earlier but, while the Plasmaman helmet is pressure-proof, it isn't temperature-proof so you're slowly freezing to death if you don't put on a proper hardsuit helmet, and if you forget to switch back before heading inside you start burning instantly. It forces you to do ...

These are all hilarious. Don't forget gasbags

Thank you everyone for bearing with us through this first implementation of Plasmamen. I sincerely apologize if anyone's rounds were ruined or made worse by the bugs/issues that came up. Plasmamen were tested prior to implementation, but a few things were lost in communication between me and my code...

The issue with freezing several tiles out of the animation is due to lag, and at least one coder has said they're not sure how to fix it. It's a little unintuitive, but after running into it at least once, it's pretty easy to just remember that even touching the timestopped area will cause you to fr...

K is another admin that I'm always really stoked to see on. Friendly guy, good roleplayer, not afraid to push a few buttons to mix things up - but never to a point where it causes issues with the round. He's also one of the few admins (if any) that are on during my vampire schedule, which is really ...

Sweaterkittens

TehSteveo was/is a great player, and I'm glad to see them as a Trialmin. I've only had a couple of interactions with him in an admin setting thus far, but they've been excellent. In one round I had to bail as CE due to an IRL crisis, and they were both prompt in responding as well as understanding. ...

Sweaterkittens

Alright I got a question. As a detective I get into a lot of dangerous and life threatening situations. My question is why in the hell do you give us these "less than lethal" takedown rounds and label them as 38 special? Nearly gotten me killed several times Dear concerned law enforcement...

CPTANT, there are certainly times when people get lynched mistakenly, and it is part of the game, but I think you're overgeneralizing. Someone getting lynched because a ling false-armbladed them while they were in a fist fight with someone else, which led to them getting robusted and incinerated whi...

I think the people saying that they don't see the problem here are looking at the wrong issue. The issue is not that someone screamed "Borgs rogue!!!", as that happens almost once a shift, especially as a Secborg. You arrest an antag, don't release a violent prisoner because of law 1, stun...

dropping a dom in maint, recalling, then destroying the dom. What a terrible waste of 30 points. Without a doubt, but when you get to the point that most gang rounds get to, where one gang has almost total control, and is just killing time until they feel absolutely sure they want to drop a dominat...

Sweaterkittens

If you want to deal maximum damage to a Stormvermin patrol you need to chug down a Strength Potion and then throw a grenade at them, this means the Grenade deals double damage! Of course there is absolutely no reason to engage with a Stormvermin patrol ever. You get nothing out of it aside from los...

Sweaterkittens

What if you could only force recall with the dominator itself? So while you don't have to turn it on, you are forced to deploy one (or pray the other gang does) and recall, which will in turn let people locate your dominator because of the recall trace. That is a fantastic idea. Forces gangs to com...

This game is dope as hell, can confirm. Just refunded my copy to get the collector's edition. Stormvermin are joke if you're coordinated and have grenades, a nightmare if you're alone. I got grabbed by a Packleader and pulled into 8 Stormvermin this morning on Nightmare difficulty. Rip Waywatcher. N...

Antags that actually RP Being brutally murdered can be a thoroughly enjoyable experience when it's not just being wordlessly slipped/stunned/revolver'd/murderboned to death. On this note, lings and traitors who overtake security as a team, and take over the station instead of murdering everyone. Re...

Be ecstatic, because being a medic in-game is vastly more successful and rewarding than it is in real life, and be amazed that I can now defibrillate the dead to somehow bring them back to life despite Asystole being an unshockable rhythm. Also, no one breaks bones or gets organ damage, surgery can ...

Sweaterkittens

Oh man, the parentheses totally threw me. Honk. Well I'm glad that it seems like most people are on board for a change like this. Maybe Cuboos would be up to making some new words.

Sweaterkittens

I like this. It may not solve all of the issues that gangs bring, but honestly anything is better than what we have now. There's no incentive to place early, and since the shuttle will always be recalled immediately, even destroying a dominator isn't really a win. It just means the round will go for...

Sweaterkittens

@Incomptinence: I feel like you just refuted your own point. The AI can broadcast announcements from consoles, set you to arrest, publish newsletters, use comms when they're down, activate holograms, tell the borgs, all with tcomms destroyed. If they want to do nothing but validhunt there are plenty...

Sweaterkittens

I agree with the OP and what Lumi has said. I love the idea of the Vox system but the lack of really useful phrases is incredibly irritating. You can't even tell people "Suit Sensors On" because "On" isn't in the vocab, but good thing "Fuck Your Shit Eating Abortions" i...

Sweaterkittens

If this helps at all, part of my Plasmamen intiative is changing the examine sprite to just show your current appearance instead of your species, because it's silly that your species is shown no matter what you happen to be wearing/how good your disguise is. So when that hopefully gets merged this w...

>Obligatory Git Gud. But seriously, implant rejection is the only thing that gives rev/gang some semblance of structure.

Another question: what jobs will plasmamen be restricted from? Will it be heads like lizards, or will they be restricted from other jobs for safety reasons? From a lore standpoint, I could see humans being a little fearful of plasmamen rather than outright racist like they are to lizardpeople. Oh s...

Sweaterkittens

How close is this to being implemented? Now that we've mostly finalized the balance changes, the coding is getting started. Once that's done (or at least to a near-finished point) Wjohnston's offered to make the jumpsuit sprite, then it'll go into a PR. I may be too optimistic, but I'm hoping that ...

Sweaterkittens

I think plasmamen should be left as an event-only race. It would really ruin their novelty if you could just play as plasmamen every round. This doesn't add anything to the game other than RP potential which I argue would be greater if we left them as adminspawn only. The issue with them being left...

Sweaterkittens

Alright guys, this seems to be going a little off the rails, let's reel it back in. Let's talk disadvantages because there seems to have been some miscommunication. As it has been said before, Changeling transform sting will not work when you have a Plasmaman's genome selected. That's to prevent the...

Did I mention how Plasmamen remind of Quarians from Mass Effect? Well they do. They really need a unique name and not a generic X'men' attached to the end. I mean, our Alien races boil down to a unoriginal first name and 'men' suffixed to the end. I am still trying to come up with a 'formal' name f...

As long as we can get the ability to ban people from being plasmamen if they get griefy with taking off suit and running around lighting people on fire, I'd like to see them given a try. As it stands, and as an admin, that's one of my main concerns with the race. Also if they can't be cloned, you c...

Sweaterkittens

I was a plasmaman in an admin migration event and I definitely couldn't be cloned because I was burning inside the tube. Dunno if they fixed it. They did not, although I was told you would not incinerate in the cloning pod. Kor helped me test that today and you do indeed die before cloning is compl...

if they get injected through a port how could you explain syringe guns its hard to explain aim that good and being imune to syringe guns is a prety huge buff.

Yea, I disregarded that entirely. I'm going to be blunt.

Hoo boy lots of responses since I went to sleep! Let me to try to address everything! Rather than having Engineering plasmamen start with a special suit, why not just add EVA kits to Engineering storage? Snip. Let me just say that I really like the idea of different kits. Most other stations have di...

How would cloning them work? Defibs/patches got that big nerf a while back, so cloning is back to being the go-to for most deaths. With plasmamen what would happen is that they get cloned, pop out, and then just burn to death again, because there's no suit. Another minor point, how long would they ...

Sweaterkittens

This seems like a horrifically bad idea. Thanatos, as I mentioned in the OP, I'd really like to hear your reasoning, so that if there are problems, they can be addressed. Telling me that you think it's a bad idea doesn't tell me why you think it's a bad idea, which in turn doesn't give me anything ...
