precious seconds to ctrl click something? The borg probably doesn't even have to stop moving at all. Honestly I'm never alerted by the motion sensors on the satellite, I'm alerted by sounds. The only sounds you'll hear as AI are things happening within about 1 room of your core. If you here anything...

Can admins mess with player settings? If so instead of banning them when you see someone suicide as a wizard just turn their wizard preference off without telling them.

WarbossLincoln

It's a balance thing, not a sense thing. Otherwise you'd just lay down in every fight and be immune to most projectiles.

This is an outside case but the ID console should be able to assign a new account to an ID card. I got to the station as a lavaland survivor and got myself an ID but had no way to get an account. I had to steal an ID from the morgue and use that for an account.

WarbossLincoln

We definitely need this so I can know if I can door shock a cat that's disguised in a firesuit. For fun.

WarbossLincoln

I don't really care what the fruit ends up doing, I'm just guessing at what's pissing off the pro-removal people. People keep rambling about "LEL IT'S JUST PIXELS", that's not why they hate them. I think it speaks volumes how Oranges has completely subverted the power structure on tg. He h...

WarbossLincoln

What the hell?! This argument again? Since back in 2014 the different race meme issue has been a raging garbage fire. First lizards, for a hot take plasma peps and now for a long haul the cat/felinids. Seriously who the fuck really cares?! Let those that wanna be cat peps be cat peps. Honestly what...

WarbossLincoln

Could be fun. I would have 0 TC gain while in space, to stop a players from grabbing a jetpack and flying in circles around the station to farm CP after they snatch the disk. I'm not sure if hiding in space should be a valid tactic or stopped/discourged through code. Having some mode specific TC ite...

WarbossLincoln

It would definitely be cool to get headmins in here because this has gone so far off the tracks. At this point in the thread I don't even remember what his stated ban reason is. Was is based on violating a specific rule or a rule 0 ban because he didn't want to answer Nabski? I of course don't have ...

WarbossLincoln

Point is to attack stationary targets. >Stationary Target - See Blob >Blob - See Thread. Aside from someone who has a UI up like a computer or pda who is standing still long enough to get blasted by this thing at long range. Who else is distracted enough to not see the big ass, color-changing laser...

WarbossLincoln

When you say their punches burn do they do extra burn or do they do burn instead of brute but do the same amount as a human punch?

WarbossLincoln

Yea but the issue is that's only fun for a handful of people. The rest of the players are busy being revs who aimlessly wander around waiting for the last head to perish somewhere in the distance. It's only that way if you're lazy and don't want to try. Be the change you want on the station. Last n...

WarbossLincoln

A gold/extra fancy version of the primary tools of each department, with a ridiculous price and no other benefit other than showing off. Make the sprite sparkle and shine or something, to show off. Golden Knife/Rolling Pin for Chef, wrenches for engineers, shaker for bartender, etc. Maybe fancy dre...

WarbossLincoln

Goat People [youtube]zYRdonk9ovU[/youtube] Someone should definitely add Squats(space dwarves), Space Elves, and Space Orks. Even if they weren't player races there's a lot of opportunity for events. An armed team of eco terrorist space elves board the station to destroy the engine because it pollu...

WarbossLincoln

I ask any of you how many times other admins have bwoinked you when something went wrong, tried to find a middle ground in the whole thing, spoke to you about why it was wrong, educated you, answered your questions and tussled up your hair if you fucked up? Like 90% of all of them since I started h...

WarbossLincoln

Its really obvious when there are assimilators, people not doing their jobs and pausing for 4 seconds near groups of people. Crewmembers are supposed to know how antags work, but in this case it seems a little meta. That being said, is security expected to sit around and watch as this rounds antags...

WarbossLincoln

Antimatter I've played on /tg/ with varyling levels of activity for like 5 or 6 years and I've never seen an antimatter engine or even knew they existed. I easily could have pushed buttons on it out of curiosity and blown it up too. The ban was shitty, I would have maybe banned the person who set i...

WarbossLincoln

Threads like these are why I love the Space Jailhouse Report boards. Gotta agree with Oldman, and I definitely see why he got rude in the ahelps, I would have too. Sounds like he's been getting shit on by Nabski over multiple rounds and got pissed when Nabski started grilling him over telling Securi...

WarbossLincoln

Agree with ishortjr33 and the goof. He's extremely rude to people in ban appeals. In ishortjr33's case it should be a simple case to explain exactly why by the rules he screwed up instead of making stuff up like "effectively purged". The entire thing could have been settled with a polite e...

WarbossLincoln

You released a tesla because you were butthurt that someone uploaded a somewhat mean spirited law and then tried to get them to take the blame for your own actions. In this case he fucked up by going ham on the station even though he wasn't ordered to but I think it should be pointed out that anyon...

WarbossLincoln

Wait... did someone actually ban the name "John Corners", cause that's a real name? I have a hard time taking a naming policy seriously when it's as arbitrary as this. We have static names like "Cup Cake" the security officer but "Freddy Vonbrogiolababalicinnidenalarms"...

WarbossLincoln

OP also thinks bucklecuffing a stripped sec officer in an escape pod for the lulz is perfectly ok tiding he can do whenever.

WarbossLincoln

We did kind of get off track on the thread into general power/metagaming. I think the rule against reinforcing the armory at round start is just fine. It's a balance thing and despite how it doesn't make sense we don't want to get rid of it. We don't want every single round to have the warden sealin...

WarbossLincoln

In incident 1 and 2 all you had to do was not bucklecuff or perma someone, damn. Stun the officer, remove his cuffs and run, tase the warden and jump down a disposal chute...

WarbossLincoln

brb gonna walk into a dorm room with a crate at roundstart and ahelp anyone who breaks in and murders me for it or are you chucklefucks gonna argue that going into a dorm at roundstart is "acting like an antag" That's brilliant. I'm going to do that sometime. Take an empty crate into a do...

WarbossLincoln

Breaking into a dorm room cause someone bolted themselves in and therefore must be an "According to Hoyle TM " Brand traitor is beyond shitty. Seeing someone other than a cargo tech with a crate somewhere and assuming it's a syndie crate is also shit. Using my smartiness and powers of dedu...

WarbossLincoln

The public facing chem fridge should default to being free and then it should have functionality added to optionally charge for things on an item by item basis. If you had a button next to each item in a chem fridge that required chemistry access that allowed you to set a price for an item then you ...

WarbossLincoln

I think it's good that traitor is a high chance, it's really the core game mode. Hopefully having Ops down in weight will help prevent getting 2-3 op rounds in a row which seemed to happen way too often. IMO all the other modes should be breaks from traitor.

WarbossLincoln

I didn't know cold affected them more than humans. When I think about it yeh, cold actually does fuck me up as a lizard really fast compared to a human.

WarbossLincoln

anecdotal but I've yet to have a positive experience with a cat person player. It's usually 5 minutes of them spamming baby talk with 1 hand while they jerk off with the other until I throw them in the brig for being annoying. I believe any non-Human species by default needs to be inferior to a Huma...

WarbossLincoln

The reason you got banned was because you killed him for entering his own work space. If he had attacked you again you would have been fine. He came back into the work space you both shared, in which he had 100% right to be, and you killed him on the spot after he got cloned. If you kill someone who...

WarbossLincoln

His point is that right now it really only affects assistants in any practical sense. An assistant spends the entire round's worth of paychecks buying a crowbar. A sec officer starts with enough money to empty a vending machine. You're really only ever going to notice item cost if you're an assistant.

WarbossLincoln

I don't think we want to encourage security to just execute half the departments solely because there's a revolution and the department is capable of fucking the station up... LOL REVS --Kill anyone in toxins --Kill chemists --Kill Atmos Techs --Kill Viro --Kill Geneticists(this is ok if it's Gene B...

WarbossLincoln

I made some money as an assistant by hacking into the morgue and stealing all the money left on dead people's IDs. When I play a doctor I usually get maintenance access and spend most of my time with a handheld crew monitor and pinpointer looking for dead or injured people. When I find them I usuall...

WarbossLincoln

If I'm sec and a conversion mode is getting out of hands I sometimes shut down toxins, but I try not to do that unless things are really getting out of control. Generally I wouldn't do that unless the Captain agrees or things are so out of control we're at martial law. I don't ever run in and wordle...

WarbossLincoln

Traitors need an objective to escape with a certain amount of money. Maybe make that objective Job based so you can't roll it on a high paying job like RD or something.

WarbossLincoln

HAH, Until I finished your post I thought you were talking about me. I've had a few rounds a long time ago where sec/captain repeatedly came after me for not wearing clothes but I was never executed for it so it wasn't me in this story. I think execution for refusing to follow the captain's orders, ...

WarbossLincoln

From the sound of it the only way to know who is a host is to catch one of their hive and implant them. I can already see this being an admin nightmare to have Not-Antags all over the station that can be the origin of lots of effects but can't be treated like antags.

WarbossLincoln

"but basically killing them as security is a bad idea because unless you've previously confirmed their identity, you'll never know if they were the antagonist or a simple pawn that could've helped you had you implanted them." So revolutionaries, which get executed all the time unless sec i...

WarbossLincoln

It's turning out better than I thought it was going to at first. It's obviously a first draft and there are a lot of issues but they're known and being addressed. The three biggest issues IMO are: Item prices too high for basic stuff - This has been talked about a ton, and it sounds like the Bee is ...

WarbossLincoln

Is this a new antag type? Or just something old I'm not familiar with.

WarbossLincoln

I'm pretty sure every time I slip onto the brig with an ID with console access he's the one who drops a pod on me when I message centcomm to "send nudes". 10/10

"Janitor Idols"

Supposed to be Roger Wilco from Space Quest. The janitor's jumpsuit is from that.

"golden mop"

We actually need this cause that was what Roger Wilco was given in Space Quest for saving everyone.

WarbossLincoln

Let's remove brig cells and just kill people. What kind of punishment is a jail time, if guy is just gonna alt tab. When you're in a brig cell you can talk to any nearby officers/lawyers/passerby or if you have the equipment try to break out. If you're unconscious during surgery you can do... Nothi...

WarbossLincoln

General point loss from everyone for every death would be a simple way to do it, you can fluff it as the gang's lawyers charging more to get them off for every murder when the cops come. Gang member deaths would be point neutral to members of other gangs but would still be a penalty to both the gan...

WarbossLincoln

An overhaul of janitor and bartender might not be bad. I have no idea how though. The chef is the other role with no end game but there's still a lot of interaction and conflict when playing the chef. People always come get food, small talk, people getting you stuff to make weird food with, brining ...

WarbossLincoln

Some thoughts: I agree that this mode as is has too much self antagging and grief for this server. The click until sideways mentality of TG is too strong to just let people run wild when anyone can become an antag at any time at will. That being said, I like the idea and I'm sure we can come up with...

WarbossLincoln

There's a joke I heard in ooc. "How do you know if Gene Ball is antag?" "If he's moving." The underlying meaning is that you play only for antag and frequently went afk if you didn't get it before you were an admin. Wait, is Nabski Gene Ball? HAH, this is great. When I play sec ...

WarbossLincoln

Wasn't the ban reason that some admin thought you were shitting up OOC with stuff about your PRs? I was around then but I don't remember if you were actually shitting up OOC or if they just thought you were. "Shitting up" isn't a well defined line. If this truly is the ban reason, banning...

WarbossLincoln

What this system does is skew the RNG in favor of the unlucky- if you have an unlucky streak where you're not getting selected for antag in a while, your chances go up. You're less likely to have situations where one person gets constantly selected out of sheer luck while someone else never does, o...
