If the implication is that this was a meta trick then this is already an existing problem with changelings? A big difference that I can see, changelings have abilities. Fighting a changeling one on one is suicide and the changeling has the freedom to change their disguise at will, unlike the parado...

Pffffff, if that is what constitutes powergaming nowadays. No matter how you look at it, it's powergaming. Does it really matter? No. People doing minor amounts of powergaming isn't really an issue. It only becomes an issue when all you do is play to win. I'm not saying Reider plays like this, I've...

Why shouldn't he take a shotgun of a dead cultist? He should. But keeping it for personal use just because "it's better than the laser guns!" is playing to win. Now, personally I wouldn't take it but I understand why someone else would. As I said it's cult, not much you can do. If I was a...

I think the luxury shuttle is good. It's funny to watch all the "rich" people get bombed/murdered. Can't be rich when you're dead, right? Seriously though, I've never seen this shuttle be an issue. Most times it seems the average crew member has enough money to enter the luxury area. Perso...

This seems like it would be more appropriate as a rule 12 ban and even that's pushing it. Should Reider have shotgun on him? Probably not. Should the bartender then try to loot Reider while he is stunned? Absolutely not. This could've been solved if the bartender spent more time talking with Reider ...

My interactions with Itseasytosee2me as an admin have been very positive. He was understanding after I accidentally triggered my EORG c4 too early and only gave me a ban because I requested one.

I hope he continues his trial, as Sybil needs more admins and he seems like a good one!

Mice World

I'm surprised I've never seen them used before. I can count the times I've seen them used on one hand, all just to seal the door under the Head of Security's office on meta. I think they get overlooked for a few reasons. Most people don't know they exist. Welding the door is much easier than printi...

Mice World

We already have these. I've never used them but I believe they basically work the same way. https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/53114 From the pr: Adds door seals to the game, inspired by the ones used in Alien Isolation and SOMA. Trivially easy for a human to remove, but makes it a nightmar...

When making a monkey sentient with a mind-magnification helmet the monkey isn't bound to you or made your slave, so is it valid to kill said monkey if it doesn't follow your orders? Killing a player that you brought into the round is fair enough, especially if they're not doing the one thing you wan...

Mice World

Yes but the problem is that we shouldn't be opening up ways to deal with grief IC by adding a method for a different form of grief to occur. Especially in a way that undermines RP. And again, especially not in a way that leaves too many false opportunities. I guess we should just agree to disagree....

Mice World

I'm not trying to strawman this into anything, this entire thread is full of people going "YES DO IT I WANT TO BEAT THE PEOPLE WHO DO THIS" rather than coming up with any reason that this policy would actually benefit anything. Lying about security abusing/executing you is one of the WORS...

Mice World

But doesn't the fact that you have to be ODDLY SPECIFIC ABOUT THE FORM OF ABUSE YOU'RE RECEIVING kinda feel a little hamfisted? Most people in that situation would probably just say that they're being abused. Given that even LRP is LRP and not NRP, it feels a little weird that we're making policy t...

Mice World

Snip Other people have already given you the solution. If you have a burning need to inform everyone about how sec is bullying you just be specific. "Security is stunning me while I'm handcuffed." won't get you beaten. Or just tell the other security members/HoS? Most people who actively ...

Keep a good 4 or 5 tile distance or even just a window and do your talking from there. Dont be afraid to also do your negotiation over radio.

This is something I've wanted to try doing more but it's way too risky. With other sec officers it would probably work, but the last time I tried talking with an antagonist they instantly crit me with a powerfist. The typing system in ss13 is one of our most *robust* systems so using it in combat or...

I'd say 1 day... but whoooops! Note history my beloved. Oh how I wish these were fucking public already so we could have a better picture of how much of a repeated offender a player is/isn't. Would be great, right? I think notes shouldn't be public honestly, it just seems like it would be another s...

This would lead to way too much conflict with silicons. It's not a particularly fun conflict either, as most AI can do is say ';harm brig' and bolt an officer in brig for a few minutes. Valid conflict with the AI can create interesting rounds and shouldn't necessarily be discouraged. As someone who...

Mice World

Firstly, its called the prisoner transfer chamber. Secondly: Why the caginess? A normal Asimov-lawset AI is required by its laws to stop any harm, even if it's being directed at the most murderboning antagonist. The smarty-pants of Nanotrasen have thus come up with a brilliant plan of telling a sma...

Last round I played as HoS I had a flesh heretic captured in the education chamber. He offered to tell me the name of another heretic he was working with in exchange for his life.

Rimworld has always been the better game though. Dwarf fortress is just too unbalanced and the interface sucks. I've only played DF for about 5 hours, but surely dwarf fortress is more of a story teller than a game? Also Rimworld's combat system is really bad imo, while DF's isn't that great it's s...

A year ago I'd've agreed with you. But over my time as a headmin I saw many benefits to them. Reading them is a good way to guage how the community perceives rules and admin enforcement. They provide a platform for players to post ideas, takes and opinions that wouldn't be allowed in the appeal its...

After watching a few YouTube videos of people using aimbot on ss13 it looks extremely obvious when someone is using it. It's similar to how simple mobs fight. Anyway, as an admin surely you're able to set your sprite to something really small like a single pixel? Most aimbotters I've seen just use t...

I did apply on November 13. It was ignored for 11 days before being denied because one or more headmins didn't want me on the team. That's fine, I expected it. From my application: I'm not ignorant.

I think 90% of players that get permanently banned just move on. Ban evading ttv spammers are probably just attention starved teenagers.

It was a concealable, repeatable stun on par with the telescopic baton.

IIRC it can also stun borgs, making it better than the tele baton.

I wouldn't meta it. If they committed a crime worthy of execution, execute/perma them. I'm specifically talking about catching a traitor doing the early objectives like putting up posters. Ever since progtot was added, more traitors keep their uplinks open (The amount has easily doubled). Before ev...

Recently I've started playing security during lowpop hours. It's been a lot of fun but I've found a slight problem. I can't decide how best to treat the antagonists. Because of progtot most people you catch are doing minor crimes like B&E or killing head of staff pets. But, again, because of pro...

Didn't Mice World (AKA Bea Socks) have an admin specifically after them, which caused their whole drama?

If we're against stereotype characters the only sane move is to stop everyone from playing one. The "I'm Black so I can do x because I know it won't offend black people" is a stupid argument anyway, even if you ignore the somewhat racist part about it. There is no sole decider of what is o...

The only way to engage into armed melee combat click on your opponent until they die, while you avoid being clicked on.

Big, big question mark here. If you want to test something, spin up a fucking server for it. It's not that hard. The only reason you would test on the server is because you're doing "testing, hehe" where you're getting away with crashing/griefing. After talking with a few people it seems ...

None of the lawsets available in the game code would result in the removal of silicon policy if they were made the default lawset. They only have less policy because they dont come up so much.

Excessively OOC names fall under rule 3. Make a minimum effort to have your name fit in a setting involving a wacky space station in the future. Isn't this all we need? Names are so irrelevant even on mrp. Why does it matter if someone has the name "Wayne Kingoff" or "Pizza Parker&qu...

I don't think you can ever completely remove silipol because our default lawset is a flawed one, we need ooc rulings for it to even function properly. As for Asimov++ I don't think it really changes much. Like sure, AIs won't interfere with duels or listen to "ai law 2 kill yourself", but ...

It really depends on your definition of "roleplay". I only started playing late 2019 so I can't really compare tg's roleplay over the years but I don't think it's completely gone. While most people on lrp are playing self-insert characters, a lot of people are still willing to engage with ...
