Did someone just get killed Janet? (I barely play Janet anymore) No, but seriously. Magboots in zero-G are doing what jetpacks ought to be doing. Magboots ought to remove the slippiness and give you normal movement at normal speed, and if you want to sanic you're going to need a jetpack. Instead, h...

I was the HoS in that round. That round was pretty rough, lots of accusations of powergaming and shit security. I did find it in poor taste that not only did the MMI lie to Security, but that people actually supported the MMI in lieing to Sec. If its any consolation, I found the MMI after the RD wa...

Black pants, red tunic? Dark blue pants, red tunic? I'm pretty attached to Redcurity, and if we're talking about colour-coding issues with Ops, why not shift Syndicates over to black on red? Bonus points if that mirrors Security's red on black. From the above Star Trek picture, and in keeping with t...

In Baymed, you can literally disable the clown's hands. You can break greytider's legs. You can chop off hands for petty theft and beat people with their own arms.

If you give NVHuds flash protection, guarantee they'll see a lot more use.

I fail to see the problem with the current policy. Using meta knowledge of syndie shuttle spawns points is bannable. Following a Syndie to his shuttle is allowed. This topic only popped up because Boris Pepper aka Bluespace felt the need to spacewalk to the syndie shuttle, move its location, then r...

I didnt feel it was worth killing another player over at the time. I know you can get banned for doing it, and im not the kind of player that kills without good reason. Drones aren't players. Or, rather, drones are dead players that are trivial to get back into the round; Just print some more drones.

I'm on my phone right now, expect grammar and spelling mistakes. That being said, a lot of things stated in this thread as what the Head of Security can do, is shit. The biggest one being, steelpoints "I write down the name of the guy working in toxins just in case bombs." Or "Barric...

Consider it to be equivalent response. If the bad guys are using pistols, the good guys have to use pistols. If the bad guys are using assault rifles, the good guys have to use assault rifles.

I'm just going to say it. The only thing that is really hidding that shuttle is the fact that Byond assumes that all characters are Mr Magoo tier nearsighted.

I haven't read all of these posts (I promise I will though, as I started off the long-post-bonanza) but I want to clarify that the moaning about UtterNewbie's playstyle was consistent, round to round, and included more people than have posted in this thread so far. I'm not trying to be biased (my o...

Back on topic, though. Security, powergaming. Actually, powergaming in general is a discussion that's long overdue. What, exactly, constitutes powergaming? Where's the line between 'Robust' and 'Munchkin'? What do you, personally, consider powergaming? Think across multiple roles and try to draw a ...

Back on topic, though. Security, powergaming. Actually, powergaming in general is a discussion that's long overdue. Let's make a basic assumption - As a playerbase, 80% of us know 80% of the game. That is, if we take five players, four of those five will know four of the five departments enough to r...

Anyways, back to my original point, lots of players hated UtterNewbie's approach to playing security. At the end of the day this community gathers around a general agreement of what is the most fun way of playing SS13 (there's lots of ways to play it) and the admin team enforces this. Sometimes SoS...

This is why I suggested Paracode. They've balanced a few things, and made some other things on top of that. Paracode is...eh. At first it was gud, karmashop was A+, blueshield was fun.

Another reason why I'm hesitent in the server code swap is that if it becomes permanent, it will result in a big divide in balancing issues between the two servers.

I thought that was the case? If it's not, it seems uterlly stupid that a someone can kill someone who killed a pet they do not own. Ian gets special treatment (and has been ruled more than once) as "everyone's pet" with the HoP as the "owner" only in name. I think this mostly st...

Psyentific

Given the emphasis of transparency and accountability in server culture, we should've had this a while ago. The only sticking point is how hard this would be to do, and when it would update.

Psyentific

Why don't we just alter it so that only the owner of the pet may seek retribution? I.e, Assistants cannot lynchmob you for spacing Ian, but the HoP (and only the HoP) can do whatever he pleases.
