Re: [MRP] Kill gun cargo once and for all

Alright a couple things. On the security thing - Security should be stopping these people, and it's very nice when they do. It would be bearable if security had cracked down on it to the point where only a small amount of gun cargo actually succeeded. However, the fact is that about half the time, s...

[MRP] Kill gun cargo once and for all

What is gun cargo? Gun cargo is when a non antag player mass purchases guns from cargo without any real reason. Sometimes it can include declaring independence or shooting antags or people they generally dislike, but it doesn't have to. What is wrong with gun cargo? Cargo mass ordering guns and dis...

Cult is bad because there's not much room at all to RP in either direction. No matter what the cult's goal is to summon an Eldritch god and destroy the station. It's a very concrete goals with a very concrete path to get there. You convert people, kill your target, convert and kill more, then summon...

Re: [MRP] Can we just entirely ban ghost roles going to the station to second life?

I think that ghost roles should never go to the station to stay. Delta Station should pretty much never go to the station, but a role like the lavaland hermit could be "rescued" and taken to the station (I think, not sure what the flavortext on that is).

Re: Cooldown on ghost role respawns to combat metainfo

I like a cooldown of seven minutes, especially for spiders. It combats metainfo (somewhat) while still having players able to join back in to the round. It will obviously have to be adjusted for other spawns. I think carp portal, if it needs any changing, should be maybe two or three minutes. Also, ...

Re: Turn a bug into a feature: Cyborg Advanced Mop

I personally think this would be cool, but it kind of just makes Janiborgs less unique and doesn't really line up with the rest of the modules' very specialized tools. You wouldn't give a crowbar to all of the modules, though they could all make use of it.

I think that this is a good solution to the problem that is Manuel rounds either lasting forever, having no conflict, or both. Antags should be encouraged to antag. Friendly antags can be done right, but a lot of the time it's just the antag acting like a normal crew member, which is bad. I think th...

Re: Regarding Manuel Policy Discussions

I think that sec should be more regulated on Manuel. Right now they are extremely powerful because they know all the antag tricks. This is probably very hard to make policy for but I think the general direction should be to make sec less powergamey and more focused on roleplay.
