So I don't remember saying anything like a "roundban", and if I did it must've been a typo - I was a little overwhelmed with the number of ahelps that came in surrounding the bombing, as I recall. Lavaland roles are not strictly valid to the crew, they just have relaxed escalation (with th...

Try telling that to glass tables. Any time I get dwarfism I have to replace every table in chemistry with metal or I kill myself trying to grab beakers, it's a nightmare.

these behaviors turn the game into a competetive objective hunt, it's boring and it's shit. I'd love to add something to this so it's not an emptyquote but leibniz has summarized so perfectly that there's really nothing to add. Powergaming to extreme levels can be done, but ruins the game for every...

Shadow I like you and I really really want to fully read, process, and respond to your post, but your habit of randomly capitalizing Words for no Reason and inserting periods.

I'm going to suggest maybe a lore-related reason for teleporting people to the ninja den instead of just deleting them? Maybe not the best reason but better than nothing. The purpose of the pirate pad working on live people is that the pirates, a faction of independents making money through theft an...

Important distinction here - a pAI's directive , which is the "law" you can set for them, is different from a typical silicon law in the way that the pAI is, by its own actual law 1, free to dismiss it in its entirety if it conflicts with law 1. The pAI has only a single authoritative law ...

When Reed Glover signs up as chemist.

Okay so uh, the Rod does a bit more than just lock itself to your arm and make you a pacifist, and is actually very likely the single strongest item you can find from a lavaland tendril chest. Being a CMO main who takes the pacifist quirk voluntarily, the greatest thing a miner can provide me with i...

lol the second your playtimes go public you will be forever referred to as the true NEET masters you nerds are https://sb.atlantaned.space/info/admins Do you want a page like this for the candidates? I can make that happen. Admins' connection counts and playtime, living and ghosted, are already pub...

This sounds like a very solid and good idea, but there's one thing worth mentioning - it's important to place more emphasis on actual time spent ingame than raw connection counts. Maybe a potential candidate only has one day off work a week and they spend six hours on one long lowpop Sybil round; th...

I'll vote for you only if you give me $20.

If this is legit and not just a high effort shitpost then I unironically will top slot you.

I do, to an extent, agree that perhaps a measure could be put in place in the future which would prevent spiders from going hog wild as soon as they spawn in, but as it stands the only mechanic preventing newly-spawned spiders from acting like the wild monsters they are is the nurse spider's directi...

Just letting admins over-rule shuttle calls IC as centcom would be an improvement. We can already do this. Any time the shuttle is called it pops up in chat for us, along with the caller's name, ckey, and a "Recall" button that even lets us put in a little message for the recall which wil...

I regularly play CMO and have three rules for my underlings, which if not followed will result in a forcible demotion (this is one of the reasons heads get telebatons, you know). Virologist is not allowed to be outside of the lab while infected with an unauthorized virus unless wearing a biosuit. Ch...

I like the community. It's a finely balanced mesh of shitposters, tryhards, newbies, and goody-goodies. Without all of you this game would never be worth playing. As for the code though I guess the hypospray is pretty neat, stealthy 1HKO with zombie powder is the easiest way to kill somebody, and be...

If we're taking this seriously then yeah, precedent has always been that admins will fuck up sometimes and may break the rounds in unforeseeable, unrecoverable ways that necessitate forced restarts and a loss of in-round progress. Unless such mistakes are regularly recurrent or apparently malicious,...

We don't have a points system or a win loss record because the point of the game isn't to strive to win, but to enjoy your time playing it. Can we get this quote engraved ingame or embedded on the forums somewhere, or something, to permanently mark the moment Leora perfectly described the underlyin...

Reed Glover plays here

make them a bit more powerfu They can already pilot mechs and use any melee weapons they're able to get ahold of. The only buff they could benefit from which wouldn't push them overboard would be the ability to damage lavaland mobs with thrown spears - encouraging more fauna hunting that isn't guar...

So whats wrong with the wiki quiz idea? I'm trying to play videogames, not be in school. Quizzes are a terrible godawful wretched elitist scumbag idea. If you can accept that once in a while a CMO isn't gonna know how cloning works, then you can accept that once in a while a blob is gonna spawn on ...

Sure, and it's understandably annoying to work a little more slowly on xenobio as a result, but your being inconvenienced doesn't make taking the resources a crime by default. If it was an assistant who'd run in an open door and snatched it, that'd be a different matter, but it was a member of the s...

Taking resources from a department you have roundstart access to is not and has never been considered "theft" in our escalation policy. Kind of a dick move, if it slows down R&D progress, but it certainly doesn't qualify as the beginning of an escalation chain. I don't play a lot of sc...

I like how half of your suggestion is just a re iteration of the effects of miasma right after you say you don't know the effects of miasma It was one paragraph out of four, and the smallest paragraph at that. That's hardly what I, or any person without personal investment against criticism, would ...

The sprite is obnoxious and far too obtrusive for a feature that has so little impact. This absolutely needs changing and downsizing unless there are plans to make the effect more significant so the conveyance factor of "Hey, you're stinky, better do something about it right now because it's im...

Is economy actually fun or useful yet?

I had a great time, everyone there was awesome! These events have quickly become my favorite thing in Space Station, I always look forward to it and spending time having fun with all of you. You guys make this game so much fun to play!

Ban lifted, be good!

Okay so everything about this appeal, from the obvious low effort shitposty nature of the appeal itself to the fact you went around to various admins on discord asking them if they could lift the ban for you, gives me the no-feeling. I strongly suspect that virtually everything you said in the appea...

FNR posting, like the server itself, is a privilege, not a right. This is a reclusive and occasionally selective public gaming community, not a paid service in return for which certain things are ensured, and any member thereof who abuses the privileges afforded to them can expect to see those privi...

This is a world where religious representatives regularly and successfully pray for the manifestation of flying monkey deities, and you want us to cater to two very specific religions because they exist out of canon?

Sentient Virus manual coughing/sneezing needs to have a (fairly high) chance of forcibly overriding any current viruses in a given victim, regardless of resistance/transmission.

In case anyone was unaware, the bottle sells for a whole lot through cargo. I might be misremembering, but I think it's worth like 30,000 credits? That's enough to instantly unlock a few shuttles, a couple crates of pizza or even buy a null crate. The only options for the bottle aren't "use if ...

"Because of what is very definitely and obviously a bug which goes against the intended design of the game your antag round is over now"? No, that really doesn't sound right. Worst case scenario, though, the AI should ahelp it so an admin can re-add the law zero just to avoid confusion at ...

Didn't we have one of these already?

Edit: in the OP you even say you've PR'd one of my suggestions.

Another case where having to wait though the formality of review is a travesty. Coconut is the best admin to come along in ages. Compassionate, patient, enthusiastic and always friendly, the answer here is clear.

Do not admin so they have more time to play Maplestory with me.

Obviously.

A new downloadable module for pAIs - a holoprojector recording module, allowing them to record and play back hologram messages the same way holoprojector disks currently can. It'd finally provide a reason to send your pAI out on a mission, say if comms are down but you can't afford to leave the area...

With the help of Reed Glover I once mass-produced maxcap nitroglycerin pyro grenades. We then gave them to the miner, who proceeded to blow up half the lavaland syndie base with a single grenade, and then also to blow up the bridge a short time later.

It's too much power for nonantags to hold!

The mere concept of someone rolling for an antagonist slot, a highly coveted role to many people, and then just killing themselves as soon as they can type in the suicide command, strikes me as utterly incomprehensible. Suicide as an assistant is one thing, but to take an antag slot and waste it in...

Hi! I'm the one who initially complained about the obvious soapboxing going on in FNR, and then raised enough of a stink about it that the thread being used as a platform for complaining about the admin conspiracy was eventually cleaned up.

What I really liked about this thread title was the "minor advantage" bit more than the cosmetic bit, although that's cool too. The first thing that came to mind while reading this was with regards to this gold taser idea - how about on top of just being a reskin, the taser also comes with...
