Saegrimr, I thought I made it ABUNDANTLY clear what I am and am not asking about in this thread, yet you keep answering a question I'm not asking. This was a problem in the previous thread as well which made is sound awfully like ANY communication is disallowed while logged into a SS13 server. But i...

No, I'm saying that the three of us were wandering independently. The first 20 minutes I was off doing engieborg things, while the other two were literally just wandering around and trying to wear clothes. Then the wormholes came and they both ended up dying. Over the next 20 minutes or so bodies st...

I'm confused how this could be interpreted any other way. Keep IC and OOC separate. Right, I wasn't asking about that. I was asking what is permitted in OOC, which led to the confusing response below... I never disputed that IC information should not be shared through any means. I'm asking what IS ...

Saegrimr, Ikarrrus, while I appreciate your attention, that's not quite addressing what I'm asking. I never disputed that IC information should not be shared through any means. I'm asking what IS permissible. As for the specific case, as I've stated before, I found the body because someone else (the...

The wiki is okay, but only gets you so far. Some uses of the click and drag mechanic aren't well documented, for example. For the evidence in the current case, I think it has been lacking. Most of the evidence seems to be outrage over a couple people in the armory, which didn't require any coordinat...

That is an interesting example, but not what happened in the aforementioned thread. But I don't want to rehash all that here. I sent a PM instead. The admins could decline a request, but one would hope that it would happen immediately, and not three rounds later. The reality of "guilty until pr...

This was specifically brought on by https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2856, but is not meant to be a direct discussion on it. It's a discussion on the general policy. Let me start with the rules from the wiki. Don’t metagame. Do not ever use information, acquired out of character...

Two out of the three of you were banned for what we called metacomms or metacommunication. That is, not using THE IN-GAME CHAT FOR COMMUNICATING IN-CHARACTER and instead talking directly to eachother about the current round through external means. Whether this is being in the same room, over skype,...

i'm not sure why that was brought up in the first place. I don't know, you brought it up. Let's drop it then. Actually that was my reason for not permabanning you as well, again, if theres some discrepancy about who wants to play I can fix that. We all want to play. If it's any help, future games w...

Yeah, netspeak in IC, generally poor form and whatnot, not evidence of metacomms and deserving of instapermaban. (I would note that this particular player would pronounce it "ty ty" and "plox" in real life. People occasionally utter the word "lol". If that's now an ille...

Whoa wait what? Is that a normal thing, ban appeals resulting in the bans of others, especially after the admin says he wants to leave me just a warning? I don't know about "rushing over to genetics to pull each other out of cloning". As a borg, I was trying to save a LOT of people and clo...

When playing captain or HoS (and warden as well, depending), what do you expect of your officers? Conversely, if you're an officer, what do you expect from your superiors? What do you expect in terms of patrolling, handling prisoners, and gathering evidence? For one example, some people demand that ...

Right, there are other good methods. But the point is I still see people get shot. With so many good routes, or (what I thought was) just good common sense of not walking in front of active emitters, why are people still being shot? If it is really your first go, have someone show you or try it out ...

I've seen way too many people get killed setting up the engine, once two in a day. Usually it's setting up the containment field, but occasionally it's dumping a plasma tank (and I've also seen the O2 tank dumped). Seriously, why don't more people set up containment from the outside in? Pretty much ...

I play tabletop RPGs, do little electronics projects, and write code. I tinker with my desktop a bunch. I like to ride my bike and tinker with that, too.

And a little socialism is a good thing.

You fired lethal lasers at a calm, unresisting, non-hostile target, then recharged your E-Gun and finished it off - Into crit, then dead. You executed someone for trespassing on the bridge, and justify it by saying you warned them first. You escalated straight from warnings to lethal, despite a com...

You fired lethal lasers at a calm, unresisting, non-hostile target, then recharged your E-Gun and finished it off - Into crit, then dead. Let's look at it another way. I fired lasers at a calm, disobedient, major trespassing target being egged on by a possibly mutinous crew member. I had two shots ...

So we had the usual OOC argument after a round, but Psyentific didn't want to FNR and make a whole thing out of it. But it seems like there was fruitful discussion to be had, so let me lay out what happened. Background: Midway through the round some people called the shuttle and I couldn't get a dec...

Peanut gallery makes a lot more sense. I can kinda see the courtroom connection, but it still doesn't make sense why stenography was chosen. If anything, the gallery is a better parallel to what goes on there (hence peanut gallery). The stenographer is really an incidental observer and recorder, and...

-snip- I always heard making pizza dough was hard, but then I've never even tried so... Got any tips? I might try. It's pretty easy. I just use 2.5-3 cups whole wheat flour, about a cup of water (until it has the right consistency), maybe 1/4 cup olive oil, teaspoon or two salt, and some yeast. Mix...

This isn't to discuss the merits of anything. I just want to know how the usage of the word "stenography" came to mean talking about something you're not involved in, i.e., kibitzing or gossiping. As far as I'm aware, the only definition of stenography is shorthand written transcription of...

I got a pizza stone a couple years ago and it has changed my life. I make my own whole wheat dough (for the texture), spread on some tomato sauce, solid dose of cheese, add meatballs and/or chicken, olives, and whatever else I have, often artichoke, onion, sun dried tomatoes, and usually jalapenos. ...

Man what is with you guys? Prom was a blast for me. Getting suits fitted with the guys You enjoy that? I find men's formal wear absolutely horrible. I think it looks silly, especially considering how little variation is tolerated. Different tie color? Slightly different shade fabric? And I think it...

I went to one dance. Tons of children having stupid nonsense drama. I never went to a dance again, including prom. Hell, it was damn expensive, and I wasn't going to waste like $70 on something I wasn't going to enjoy anyways. I'm not much for traditions, nor dressing up for things. And I don't find...

Well, Artyom's still fairly new and people are attracted to novelty, and yeah there's the cycle of see empty server -> keep server empty by playing elsewhere. I have played on all three servers, and I even played on the empty EU server while it was there. It was kinda nice, as I got to learn importa...

There's always injecting cigarettes with welder fluid... or something else! :D And when was the last time anyone used one of the clown/mime viruses? Something involving the theater would be cool. I've asked multiple clowns to put on shows, and while they thought it was a great idea, they couldn't ge...

I absolutely HATE it when people tell me, "just keep watching, it'll get good later" (cough cough bronies), but really, Stein's;Gate does get REALLY GOOD and it is worth it. Honestly, I like the beginning as well, but it crescendos nicely. My friend had me watch a couple arcs of Higurashi ...

Out of the anime I've watched I liked Full metal alchemist: Brotherhood the most. Seconding this, it's one of the only animes i know of that isn't just Schoolkids dealing with highschool problems. Wat. I assume you've at least heard of Pokemon or Dragonball, neither of which are about school, or so...

I can understand that, and certainly while Shinji isn't the most likable character, I feel more sympathy for him than Asuka. She is generally treated well and is shown to be competent at a few things, but Shinji's got her problems plus he's good at nothing and only listens to a single cassette tape ...

Thinking about it, Serial Experiments Lain may be one of those edgy things. I mean, I really like it, but it's one of those shows about questioning reality to the point where some scenes are more about conveying an impression than an idea, if that makes sense. I still think it does it very well and ...

The last thing I read was The Little Prince during a three week jury service (and it's short, so by no means did it take the whole time to read). I also read I, Robot during that time. Both are great and I'd recommend them. On a side note, I have a curse on me. Twice, I've had people give me a book ...

I love space westerns (Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star), some mecha stuff (Evangelion, Gurren Lagann), and a smattering of other things like Ghost in the Shell, Samurai Champloo, Stein's;Gate, Planetes, Serial Experiments Lain, and Nichijou. Those are the favorites I'd recommend to most people. Have a ran...

Froom what it sounds like he never honestly tried to find the ninja. It seems so, since as I said I was chasing the ninja when called over sec radio, which Scott had access to. If he had showed up as well to the ninja sighting, that would show that we was trying to assist the crew, but instead he's ...

If you requested weapons, personal or mech, you did not request them over radio, sec or general. If you were hunting the ninja, you did not say so over radio. From what I saw, when security was after you full swing, the only thing you could do was Scott Osterweis says, "MAI RIGHTS" That's ...

He had been taking hostile action since before the shuttle arrived. Multiple sec officers and other staff reported over radio being attacked by the hostile durand. To be pedantic, what happened on MY first and only encounter with him was that I stood in the doorway with an ion gun, hesitated, ran in...

Wait, if traitor AI is not bound by laws, what's the point of the "achieve your objectives" law for traitor AI? Does it not get that law?

It sounds like people are talking about two different things, but they are handled with the same policy. Okay, so survivor borgs are a thing, that's good to know. In my example I was a survivor BEFORE being transformed into a borg, as I had no law 0. That means I just follow my laws, no problem. So ...

I see. That makes perfect sense, but it seems the admins aren't in perfect alignment on this policy, as when I adminhelped they implied I couldn't do anything. But it's possible they were busy with something else, as they were giving vague, terse responses. To be clear, in the incident where I was a...

A couple times now I've had an issue come up with borging, and server policy, different admins in disagreement, and the game itself have come in conflict. The problem stems from what happens when you become a borg, and what you may retain from your past life as a human (and vice-versa for borg brain...
