The impossible part is finding and replacing all the appropriate calls to rand()

Not literally impossible, but it won't happen.

This poll is rigged. Poll question does not directly correspond with the poll answers. Regardless why should any job have less of a chance of being traitor? Its already completely shit that security can't be antag anymore. Just remove antags already. Extended for everyone! Obvious strawman is obvio...

I've never seen Clannad... Cowboy Bebop was my first anime (along with Initial D but it's shiiiiit) and I think it makes a good transition. Trigun too. Even Lupin the Third, really. Each episode is watchable on its own, and don't rely much on being familiar with anime/Japan tropes. I would not start...

Rolan7

The best thing about nondubs is probably that it forces me to actually watch the anime instead of playing vidya on a different screen. Which is a silly reason. Sometimes intentionally annoying voices are just far more tolerable in foreign languages though. Excel Saga and Disgaea, I'm looking at you....

Rolan7

I misread this as "Allow Aliens to Mime". Mining alien slaves sounds cool tho.

Rolan7

My favorite anime is discworld obscure references make me cool rite I used to watch the animes on adult swim, not so much anymore. Only seen Attack On Titan recently, I liked it. Sometimes it's fun to rewatch Trigun and Lupin teh 3rd episodes though Someday I'll rewatch FLCL and Serial Experiments L...

What the hell kind of question is this? I've had to stand briefly to get a fresh roll of toilet paper, and it makes everything infinitely awful. This must be a joke.

Rolan7

But that's only obvious because we aren't new. To a newbie there's no indication that Assistants are supposed to assist... at all. Sarcasm doesn't carry that well over text.

The article's mostly fine (though the antag part is laughably naive) but it ought to at least mention how things ought to be.

What advantage does that have over simply throwing the grenades, though?

Rolan7

Except I don't want to play every job. Why should I have a lower chance of being antag because I am made assistant? You're being asked to play any job, not every job. This is exactly why I made the job selection system - so you can veto jobs you absolutely don't want. Nobody's forcing you to be an ...

Rolan7

With episode one of course

Rolan7

You've certainly got a point. However, there's a fundamental flaw in your logic. Making all other jobs more fun and desirable will require immense amount of work. So much work, it's not realistically achievable. So your solution is to deliberately make something else less fun? That is literally the...

What were their names in Star Wars, again?

And yet they still managed to be characters, how odd.

Hm yes except people are people, with recognizable faces, and cyborgs are featureless transformers who have been stripped of their humanity and rights.

Rolan7

Maybe as sec borg. As engi-borg I always get to do whatever I feel like, unless the AI is particularly on top of things. Having a serial number isn't a punishment, and it doesn't even stop you from having a personality. It just prevents you from being recognized - shit, that's what this is really ab...

I was obviously referring to the default names... But being subject to immature names from humans is part of the intended humility.

Rolan7

No one says "punishment job" except people support self-naming. I'm sick of hearing it parroted in place of an argument. Being a borg is the only reliable way to be subhuman. Letting borgs name themselves destroys that. The cold designations remind us that, regardless of what we were, rega...

Rolan7

Reducing rather than removing the antag chance fixes the meta problem, as others have said. Even a 10% chance would keep people suspicious, but even a 50% chance would dissuade people from picking assistant just for antag. So I think 50% (and fixing the probabilities bug) is the way to go.

Rolan7

The problem with assistants being able to be shitters and antag means that if you ban someone from assistant for being a shitter they're effectively banned from latejoining during extremely high pop and this is kind of a bad thing and while I fully support banning people from assistant I think maki...

It's too late for me, no Portuguese can save me from watching 24/7 ranma 1/2 from under my futon mattress desu honk hue
Well actually that's a lie, I'd build a bed for a reasonably nice Portuguese guy.

Rolan7

That sounds odd but I shouldn't talk, my futon mattress is on the floor most of the time. I bought a simple bedframe and foam mattress but I feel no need to unpack them, or put the futon back on its frame unless guests are around. Maybe it's because the last bed I slept in dropped the mattress three...

GoonGenetics would be a great addition to /tg/ just by the removal of RNG alone let alone the unqiue features it offers. GoonChem is interesting but would not work on /tg/ since our code is not closed source. Not to mention people get antsy with GoonChem for being very secretive of chemical recipes...

The computer sounds so nice, but I agree it would get abused... shame. Swiping would be great. I guess I accept that heads are expected to robust and strip insubordinate crew (as if the head were a common greyshirt, not the commanding officer in a military heirarchy), but once they have managed that...

What, this sounds like a minor tweak to the singu- +Tesla coils are only moderately efficient, they'll collect a percentage of the energy from the bolt, the rest of that energy will 'bounce' off in another arc. This will mean potential for creative engine designs with additional tesla coils to colle...

Huh, this looks fun. A lot cooler than another minisat. I'm talentless at map design, but could the little officer's mess have a table for delivering food and drinks through?

Rolan7

And yeah, I think they should be always valid. It will encourage them to not approach people at all, which is good. That's kinda lousy though. Here's a way back into the game where you get to run around and be useful and fix shit but if anyone sees you they can kill you FNR. Sounds pretty shitty re...

Rolan7

Okay, not scarce. Synonym fail. But the entire concept of money is that its value is controlled, by controlling how much of it is in circulation. That's why forgery is bad, and why printing too much money lowers its value (causes inflation). Again, botanists can already print a bit of money. All thi...

Rolan7

We can't make silver! Your argument is invalid :P Seriously though, yeah botany can mass produce a lot of things. Currency has exactly one job, though: to be limited, scarce. (And to be easy to carry...) There's no reason to make it more mass-producible, particularly when there are plans to make it ...

Rolan7

Don't do this. Space cash ought to have *some* rarity. Which means the service borg's dosh dispenser should be removed, or changed to fake money.
This doesn't make it any easier for botany to get some money. It only allows botany to spam huge amounts of money.

It's the same thing Beepsky does when looking for people set to arrest. Facial recognition is fine, but it wouldn't work for access checks - Access is only tied to ID cards, not identities. There's no ID equivalent to the central med or sec records. The request consoles aren't verifying any access w...

This feels like a particularly surreal This American Life. Good work.

True, I should have said it nerfs the *winner*. Easy to get "aggressor" and "winner" mixed up with our gameplay... The loser has a slightly better chance of surviving under this system, though really only if the winner doesn't want to kill them. The winner is likely to lose blood...

Rolan7

This nerfs the attacker because the victim will probably be able to slash them a bit, which is a more significant penalty than a brute pack or two. That penalizes people for escalating, because the knives might come out and deal lasting damage that a brute pack can't instantly erase. And if you have...

Rolan7

Slashing someone is very lethal, so it'd be more bannable. Bashing someone and stealing their stuff would be better now because the victim can be rendered unconscious for a while but still survive, unless the attacker finishes them off. I don't see what "pain" does. Does it determine the s...

That's kinda dumb yeah, but alright. However it's only working with pure ethanol, not the alcoholic drinks (which are children of the /ethanol/ type, now). /ethanol/ drinks ought to count for the reaction, so maybe I'll fix that.

Permabrig/gulag is supposed to be punishment for the character, there's no reason it can't be fun for the player.
Well... it shouldn't be *too* fun, or it'll remove the tension of being an antagonist. The current mining camp situation sounds about right.
