I'm bored and also permabanned so I did this: https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/pull/16077

Buggy

I think an admin said something like this "You can get away with a lot of shit if you don't brag about it" Follow the advice. Bragging will only get you unwanted attention. I didn't brag, I defended myself. I would have never even talked about it if a number of people hadn't accused me in...

B) Collectively punish everyone by endlessly chasing his actions and nerfing one thing after another, and be the bad guy no fun coder Isn't that literally what happens when people keep abusing the system to powergame, thus forcing a nerf and them moving on to the next thing? It's a vicious cycle, p...

Buggy

No fuck off ion laws aren't a justifiable reason to desync the borgs, 99.9% of them are harmless anyway. Is it any better than using meteors to justify reinforcing the containment fields so it's harder to sabotage? It already takes AT LEAST 2 meteors to break normal containment, let alone special 1...

Arguably there was the fact that I unsynced a borg for no real reason(which i now know not to do), and was super salty in deadchat due to something else(which is par for the course for deadchat). Kind of doubt that any of that is perma-worthy though.

Buggy

Except the captain's laser is functional to the captain and the only downside to getting it is that it sets an alarm the captain can turn off in three seconds, then unlock the doors with his remote. There's no ingame justifiable reason to unsync the borgs other then the MMI requesting it or "T...

Buggy

A meteor is unlikely to ever cause containment to fail, the engine is heavily reinforced such that no reasonably sized meteor could destroy it. Plus that doesn't apply on maps with the singularity in the center of the station instead of at the edges. The captains laser is explictly in a display case...

Buggy

You didn't stop to think why you would need to unsync a borg in the first place? "Because I want to see how much I can get away with"? "Because It's safer if it isn't synced, it's less likely to get subverted and its guaranteed to be asimov" Is that really that different from &q...

Buggy

And people wonder why the rules page ends up being three miles long with extremely specific examples of shit to not do. SS13 is incredibly diverse and complicated, If you turn it into a competitive game where people have a good reason and motivation to do something that shouldn't be done, then you ...

Saegrimr wrote:Yeah, but if the game is all about toeing the line as hard as possible without getting banned, then you clearly failed your own advice there. Bad luck.

You pushed too hard by bragging about your shit.

I didn't intend to brag, I was defending my reasoning as to why I unsynced the borg.

Buggy

I didn't realize that making unsynced borgs was a Issue, so I won't do it anymore. I said I wouldn't do it if it was against the rules because the rules define what metagaming IS. Say, maybe we do know that blobs usually decon R&D IC, so we can respond to it and it isn't metagaming, but we don't...

Sorry about the wall of text but I felt i needed to give a lot of evidence to thoroughly make my point.

Speaking of which, trying to trade for a cult construct could work, since your artificers soul stones would be unusable. Well... no. Wizard soulstones are unusable by the crew I thought because of those flags If you can use the inital soulstone, you can use all the soulstones that the artificer mad...

Buggy

Could we maybe get Clonexadone except it's like old Cryoxadone, when it was good? No more 'you gotta be -5 million degrees for it to heal' bullshit?

Buggy

I fixed up the beach away mission, so we could just enable that, but unfortunately I can't use the new map merge tool so I can't actually make a PR for it that doesn't have 5,000 line edits

Well... no.

Buggy

It's half-and-half, really. The captain has fuck all responsibilities outside of nuke ops and kinda rev, and starts with a ton of gear to make a newbie's life easier, and has all access so they can explore and shit. On the other hand, captains are usually expected to actually be decent and competent...

Buggy

Are solars actually blocked by the station? Or is the fact they only get power 1/4 of the time arbitrary, would it happen if I built some in the middle of a empty z level?

Adding sneezing to it just irks me. Sure, it increases the spread, but not everyone actually wants a virus for some reason; forcing it on them is pretty bad. That, and you can fit another good symptom in instead of sneezing. Toxic filter/toxin compensation/self-respiration/ocular restoration/stimul...

Does Saltpetre still increase plant potency? I tried using it one round and it didn't seem to change. Is there something else now (besides mutagen) that can increase potency? Without sacrificing an orphan to the RNG? I know that 1-2 units of mutagen affects the yield/potency without mutating the pl...

Virology giving out the healing/stim virus combo to the entire crew for anything beyond a stationwide threat. Great, now that traitor/greytider is impossible to catch by anyone so long as he has a finger on a movement key. Thanks for making everything harder. I always do this because, yes, the trai...

I have been working on some mime stuff a-la bananium, where you can use it to make a reticience and stuff. We could stick some Silencium in there or something but that means I have to finish the PR, and somehow get sprites for it.

Buggy

To be fair it can be difficult to keep up sometimes.

It really annoys me when i'm banned, along with half the server, because bans are broken. Good thing that doesn't happen often, right? Right?

Buggy

Ah, so thats what happened to them. I broke into EVA for them, glad to see some good came out of it.

Buggy

There is a very easy way around this for black powder in that it's explosion is technically another reaction that only requires black powder and occurs at it's detonation temperature, so you can preheat the ingredients for it, stick them in a grenade, and it'll instantly react to form black powder ...

Buggy

Both pyrosium and CLF3 will work if they're just in a beaker, but I've tested it and neither actually work in grenades, because grenades work weirdly. Essentially grenades create a temporary beaker with the combined capacity of the beaker in it, mix the reagents in it and react them, potentially in ...

Buggy

I though that anything that isn't just a reaction/chain reaction in a grenade doesn't work. Eg, you can't make a grenade that has black powder and CFL3, because the CFL3 has to react first and heat up the black powder, and then the black powder has to react again to detonate. Same goes for cryostyla...

Buggy

There are absolutely sensible ways to do virology that involve using synaptizine. Essentially, the ultimate limiter in virology is the time limit between making new beakers in the PANDEMIC. I'd guess it's like 5 seconds or so. If you make 1 new symptom at a time, you're limited to 1 every 5 seconds....

Don't underestimate the damage even a slighty-over-cap bomb can make. (7, 15, 32) vs (5, 10, 21) is a tremendous difference when it comes to the number of affected tiles. I'd say bomb cap is good enough as it still completely wrecks any department it's targeted at. 15 heavy destruction radius would...

Buggy

Does anyone think it would be a good idea to remove the bombcap from chem grenades? Ok hear me out. So the bombcap was added because people figured out the ideal way to make TTV bombs, so they could churn out six massive, station-annihilating bombs within 10 minutes of round start, and that was bad....

Buggy

Could anyone create some sprites for my Silencium PR: https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/pull/14870? Silencium is the mime counterpart to Bananium. What it looks like is up to you, so long as its mime-ish, and keep in mind the theme is that its kinda transparent/invisible. At minimum I really ...

During some war rounds AI law set, and may add hidden laws, so this isn't as effective. TBH it's pretty easy to create a law that has the desired effect for all common lawsets. They can get kinda long but it works. Example of a universal onehuman+do-not-state: Only Buggy is human, innocent, legitim...
