/tg/Station 13

Powergaming is an issue in every role, head of security being a fairly prominent one as well. Perhaps the cyborg did go out of line checking prisoner transfer however once it happened it should have been your responsibility as well to de-escalate the situation, not go killing the cyborg and screamin...

I was the AI during the round that is being largely discussed in this thread and I believe some things deserve to be cleared up a bit. While I do not know entirely how the conflict started and I did not order the cyborg in question to observe the prisoner transfer center the moment I did get involve...

been suggested many times but malf should be able to read lips through its cameras
Also interesting (for less experienced malf players mostly) would be a "multicore processing" upgrade where one of the ghosts gets turned into a second AI within the same core as you (for a hefty price)

that's indeed a fairly good question as xenobiologist how far can you go against someone who's purposely killing your golems/mobs Same with the golems/mobs. Sure them being able to kill someone who attempts to kill them them should be obvious (would be real stupid if it weren't) but how about other ...

Law 1: Respect authority figures as long as they have strength to rule over the weak. Law 2: Act with discipline. Law 3: Help only those who help you maintain or improve your status. Law 4: Punish those who challenge authority unless they are more fit to hold that authority While the rules do clarif...

Undercover Implant: causes the person implanted to show up as a gang member/rev to regular members. Bosses can see through it. would allow an additional gameplay element when faced with those threats, if it were difficult or rare enough to not be completely overpowered also everyone wants to play as...

thank you very much for informing me of that, I am a bit surprised that there is no way to check how long a jobban of this type lasts

I must say I did not save the exact wording of the lawset so could anyone with access to the logs please post it?

Byond account: MrMindless character name: C.K.D. Banning admin: Subtlegraces Ban type: Jobban (AI/Cyborg) Ban reason and length: Banned for 180 minutes - Twisting his AI laws to be an obstinate jerk to the Captain who changed them; I gave you plenty of chances. Time ban was placed: 09-Jun-2015 [time...

would be interesting if the captain had the ability to make custom votes via his comms console, which could be voted on via crewmember PDA's
In case the captain wants to know if the majority of the station wants to leave, have someone executed or general roleplaying purpose

I was the AI during said round. First off, it was not the revs who turned on the turrets, I did, the minute I saw Antimov being uploaded I decided to kill every single thing inside my upload, sure by the time I got to the point of killing you you were no longer human but you were still a monkey tryi...

Its now been a full month since the ban request was made, is it possible to get some form of admin decision?

Wondering the same thing. I'm assuming having both me and Utternewbie check out the logs ourselves to perhaps help speed up things would be impossible?

Only 1 cyborg was responsible for that, the other cyborg, IIRC (could one of the admins please dig up the relevant logs) was actively yelling out for a law reset which I couldn't do due to the nature of the law (it was a law that by existing prevented harm from coming to humans so removing it would ...

alright response 1 I was not aware the lizard was forced into the position of janitor, the cyborg in question never properly explained this. Up to this point my only actions regarding the ion law was a half humorous announcement that a free boat was available to lizard janitors which I was previousl...

in case of the detective, if a round has few or maybe no officers there should be absolutely no problem with the detective stepping in to act as a security officer, and rounds without security officers are plenty

if shotgun were to have knockback on its targets shouldn't it also knock you back in zero gravity situations?

considering all stuns were reduced and the AI pretty much has no way to fight back against rogue/syndicate cyborgs could a mode be added to the AI turrets that turns them "indiscriminate" and causes them to fire on cyborgs as well? I mean its a bit silly a character who literally cannot mo...

the problem with plasteel is that currently there is no real way for miners to create it. Before the mining update there was plenty of plasma and the smelter was still used so you could easily smelt some plasma and metal together to form plasteel. However the ore redemption machine does NOT have the...

About the (disposal) pipe dispenser. Imho there should be a way (probably related to science) to build a second one. They get blown up? Game over. And if they're constructable they should be upgradable, like say a maximum upgraded dispenser dispenses them in 1/3th the time and can be used while unwr...

I could be wrong but it seems like perma brig is extremely easy to escape

just open the leftmost window, run out, go left and enter through escape airlocks

I'd like to suggest making the following areas camera accessible: maintenance room north of fitness and patient room 2 reason for this is that currently, due to mapping changes, the AI no longer has access to the APC's of Medbay, Fitness and Courtroom which are large public areas it should have some...

Removing assistant maintenance access will contribute to "greytides" rather than prevent them. As it stands, every round there's a few tunnel rat assistants who go into maintenance either to explore it (if they're new) or to remodel it into their own little assistant hub. These assistants ...

non antag all-access HoP's could be solved fairly easily if people started actively kicking them out of their departments if they're unwanted and security responding to it. HoP barges into chemistry and starts hogging the resources? Warn him to get out, if it fails chloral/sleep tox and drag him out.

Add logging to ID computers. Then if HoP gives away all access and nothing's done about it, it's totally captain's and HoS's fault. This seems like it'd be a good solution, telecoms has logging for everything as well (something which security and the CE often forget) and its not exactly stopping an...
