I know NT wants to be cheap, but "NT wants to be cheap" doesn't translate to "Marines are suicidal". You're dealing with two separate entities here, and only one has a motivation to act in disregard for best practices, and the one that actually suffers as a result isn't the one w...

That's absurd , the idea of sending infantry down to fight headpoppers remains the least effective methodology the marines have at their disposal regardless of if they're equipped for generalized situations or not. Marines have CAS and orbital bombardment, for crying out loud. At the end of the day,...

Given that they've evolved in a plasma-heavy environment, it may be worth adding that the creatures themselves are laced with high purity/liquid/other plasma, as a reason why NT would a) want them fuckin' bugs and b) why they'll slap anyone who figures this out with a big fat fuckin' NDA to keep th...

I've gotta say, I'm not sure that I like that marines know they're going into fight a bio-hazard-related enemy... and yet are gearing up like they're fighting human enemies. One of the reasons things seem vaguely plausible for CM is that marines, RP-wise, don't know what xenos are. And, hell, RPing ...

This was mainly sparked by a chat Ninja and I had on discord in relation to a proposal -- and given I'm planning on suggesting further reworks to req after that, well, it's probably a good idea to pop the bonnet and check the engine, as it were. I certainly have my own experiences playing in requisi...

Fair point. To clarify, I don't recall seeing a smashed console down there, so my gut was saying it was the former situation, not something a stranded miner would have been able to repair.

EDIT: This was in response to SpaceInaba.

By the time he said "not harming them", he was well into the process of trying to kill me. Given that context, one is surely excused for not taking people at their word, especially when they are busy scrambling to get a borg to evac them. EDIT: To clarify, though, at that point, I would h...

And again, I don't feel like intending to lock the Captain behind a door for all of five seconds is being a dick. When they decided to escalate things by coming after me, my choice of response was to evacuate via borg -- to run away. That's not being a dick, it's the exact opposite. This was a confl...

Well yes, because to knock someone out using the telebaton -- by hitting them into crit, concussing them, which is the only way you can do that -- is harmful. Hitting them otherwise just stuns them. Maybe I wasn't as clear as I could have been in that discussion, but I was more than a little bit sal...

What you've laid out here ignores that I was actively trying to resolve the situation by asking the Captain to make that promise. It isn't a leap of logic to view knocking people out as harmful, because it is harmful, and in that context his announcement was explicitly the Captain saying he intended...

In that case, allow me to explain the exact details of what happened from my point of view, over the first minute or so. While in the Cap's Quarters, the Captain made the knock-out announcement. I immediately locked them down in first their bedroom, and then their office when they escaped into that ...

They didn't, no, they never made the promise I asked for. Can you pull up the timestamp of the first time I asked for a promise, over Command radio?

The Captain never expressed that he was going to card me. At no point did he say he was going to grab a card. Indeed, the Captain never did card me, even after he killed me, at which point he had ample opportunity. By the time the Captain even mentioned his telebaton, he had begun what I've affectio...

That directly conflicts with what Goof said, though.

Are we looking at the same image? Your arm is two tiles away, for starters. Regardless, that's substantially larger than what I experienced, and regardless I'd be more inclined to believe the coder. Maybe you just got lucky on a number of floor->lattice rolls?

There isn't much room for confusion, a 1,3,6 is a 1,3,6.

Which story?

I dunno what to tell you, cedar, it's very distinctly only 1 devastation.

I was in the round and had to pass the hole multiple times. The damage was as bad as dorsidwarf described but dampened slightly by its proximity to the walls around botany. I'm general I think chemical revenge on thieving botanists can be appropriate, but only if they were really awful like directl...

Just want to add my voice here because MMM literally did say he'd bash my head in if I didn't. I understand, I think we all understand, that the isolation factor is intentional and deliberate. But that doesn't mean that it's good. Our fork of SS13 is specifically designed around inter-department coo...

I mean, there's certainly issues to be resolved, but to be honest I think this has potential. Certainly, though, stuff like SecHUDs need to reveal identities and such.

At best you blew up a welding tank too but there were no other bombs, you just had a really good bomb in close proximity to the highest traffic area which is that mini medbay. Huh, weird.

(Heeeey look I'm going to backchat for some reason this'll go well I'm sure.) I figure at this point that maybe I can hide in a locker and if shit hits the fan, I can suicide away the antag's greentext. Amazing. Well, as in, after everyone else is dead, or such. I don't mean that as in I'd pop out o...

Urgh, I'm going to shorten down those paragraphs a bit. That was more of a wall of text than I expected. I'll keep the originals rolled up in spoilers.
