That sucks. They must have been removed some time ago then. We should really add them back in. They tend to be kinda brought out as extensions of "The head of staff is the supreme authority in his/her/xer department" thing. On the note about how players react, I've had players go so far a...

Well, I guess I will be maintaining the awaymission maps then. Please report any bugs and issues with awaymissions on this thread please, since I will be checking new posts.

If I spawn as mime with a clown, I always strip their PDA and slip/disposal them while they're picking their name. I then run to the mail room and honk at them with their PDA from across the table. I'm a strong believer that mimes and clowns should be Jay and Silent Bob esq bros. I've even been kno...

I think the racism is fine. So long as its kept verbal and done in good fun. Actually killing a Lizardman because you feel they are valid is shitty and shouldnt be allowed.

An active command team can easily grant access to security officers.

Even if the officer isn't standing in front of the door he's still most likely only mere seconds away. If you're in arrivals and a distress call comes out from science I'm willing to bet you can arrive in a little under a minute. That is simply not enough time. On Sybil speeds, I don't think that's...

You're a mime, damn it. Play charades with me.

Alternatively, people who smartass mimes by not even bothering to play charades with them.

You have to think about the viewpoint of the antag doing the jumping as well. If you get jumped in toxins it would be slightly unfair for a security officer to immediately come to your rescue within seconds. However, if the officer had completely no access to the department at all, there's too much...

cedarbridge

My problem with security getting basic department access is that it gives antags less room to work. Maintenance access is already a big intrusion and I agree that SOs should have it, but departments should still be private. There are already SOs assigned to each department, that should be enough. S...

cedarbridge

Um. Why is security an exception again? You're basically saying that security players cannot have fun. I specifically said teamwork instead of enforcing the chain of command. Not entirely the same thing but really close. I'm not sure why but security players are unusually responsive to a player iss...

The report showing up early is kinda shit. Though I'm not a big fan of the automated vox report either. "Confirmed outbreak" where everyone including the station AI is asking "Where?" is not a confirmed anything and just puts the crew into full blebhunt mode without any other req...

Chain of command adherence from players who are able to inspire that sort of departmental loyalty is fine, great even. Having some sort of server-enforced obligation for players to listen to other players, possibly at the expense of their own fun, is fucking horrible. Case in point, law 2, one of t...

I never tell anyone about the autocloner I build in telesci/RnD. The only exceptions are those people in the sci department that weren't shitlers all round or were generally helpful.

Oh joy, AIs that don't think they have to open doors for anyone because of laws stating "as according to their rank and role" forgetting the "with priority" immediately preceding it. Imagine all those illiterate players that adding baycode adds to the game. I can just imagine it.

Seems like this should only be something possible for characters on screen (complicating the code requirements.) Radio speak is not really the sort of thing that should be broadcasting your face around.

b) DAs start with 3-5 TCs and get more if they kill their target. Once their target is dead, the identity of the target's target is revealed, and they get an objective to kill the target's target, until they end up with the identity of their assassin. Last survivor ends up with a metric fuckton of ...

Remove greentext (from antag objectives) altogether and add in crew objectives, I think we'd have a fantastic setup for more interesting rounds with less murderboning. Or instead of removing antag objectives make antag objectives very vague while trying to create interesting scenarios, like "h...

But Bay is what most RPers seem to want. Whenever ive played on /tg/ i have been satisfied with the level of RP i experience.

It's not because a random player "starts crying", only those that code the nerfs themselves and submit them and they get accepted every time. Yeah. There is a nerfing tendancy in the first place among the coders, but it gets strenghtened and legitimized by the tears of players pinpointing...

You're not entitled to a glorious counter-attack or reaction to every shenanigan that comes your way. You can and will be taken by surprise and die; parapen, revolver, singularity, ebow, mini-bomb, take your pick. You can react to all of those actually. Well, all of them except one. Guess which one?

If they lack a reasonable chance to win they don't antagonize, if traitors don't betray they don't function.
