The other day I was rolling for Cyborg and Atmos Tech and I ended up an assistant. A couple minutes after round start I see someone joining as Atmos Tech. I was made Assistant even though there were slots for the jobs I wanted. Let assistants be. ;) That is because there only exists one roundstart ...

I think a way for a AI to see by default who is doing what would be a great addition. It makes no sense for the AI to not be able to tell who is attacking who. I'd consider it in the same vein as the newly merged stop-drop-roll animations. Previously, there was no real way to know if a person on fi...

My 2 cents after reading a page of the thread Automatically jobban people from assistant after say, 2 weeks of playing. It will force people into job slots, and the only time they will get around said jobban (I believe it can happen if you're forced into the role), is if there are no more job slots...

Apparently its better for you to have a retarded name than a sensible one because "muh rp." The irony still kills me.

cedarbridge

Please don't go there. Arguing that there's a human brain in there is a straw. Much rather you argue that there's a legitimate player, and I'm iffy on that one. Except there's no straws there. The fact that you think that cyborgs are "iffy" in the context of being "legitimate players...

I prefer cyborgs having default names since I personally prefer the dehumanisation aspect of the role. I usually name myself "UNIT 1" as a Borg, and increment the number if I die that round. My main concern with people using custom names as a Borg is when they give themselves a obnoxious ...

[edit after removal] Yeah, it always feels a bit off for secborgs to operate apart from the sec team in general. Moreso than say an Engieborg that only really wants the key to listen in on poly or catch some comment about damage or repairs already in progress. A mediborg really has little to gain fr...

Well that's kind of what I was implying, you can't have a mafia game mode without having crooked cops too. I think you could snowflake this one by just making the implant not check for or block mafia affiliation. Kinda like how lings and essentially every other antag don't care about being implanted.

cedarbridge

Being a antag gives you the opportunity to make the round fun. There is no obligation. But this is off topic. If someone was able to rewrite the antag assignment system to assign antag status before your job was selected, then we could freely remove assistant antag since your antag opportunity woul...

See, when I saw this thread I assumed it was something like /vg/'s shame announcements at round end where the server calls the roboticist a useless shit for not making any borgs all round or something.

All the silicons who smugly misunderstand orders or use law 1 to disobey are missing the entire point. Law 1 comes before Law 2 for a reason. Without law 2 they are not actually "slaves" to humans at all. I hate to break it to you, but its been you missing the point all along. Borgs are 1...

Yes. All of this sounds great. What about a Syndicate Uplink though? The Don starts with the uplink and gets 20 TC to spend, preferably on his goons, to gear them up. For every 15 people above 50 total player count, the Don gets 5 more TC. Weapons are all provided by the Syndicate but sometimes not...

I will mention that DoT wiring is more wire efficient than smooth wiring. Though smooth wiring looks a whole lot prettier, it's about 50% inefficient, so I'll give any engineer the benefit of the doubt when they dot wire, but not setting up the SMES is just bad form. To be a little more on topic: R...

The problem I have here is you admit that you're breaking in somewhere you don't belong, but because security wasn't there to see you do it that somehow makes it ok and everyone else should just let you do it.

I'm not seeing where its in the best interest of bystanders to let you go about committing crimes. If they see a crime in progress and the mime robusts you, deal with it. You got robusted by the mime and now you're getting brigged for it.
