Its hard to argue with this when I have seen people who are legally allowed to vote unironically use the word "poggers"

Do macros kinda suck? Generally, yes, but making a rule against them would be grandstanding at best because a rule that can't be enforced has no authority. I think it is pretty easy to enforce a rule where if you are using some form of macro or something to get an obvious in game advantage, ie, tur...

memetext > greentext just winning isn't an achievement. anyone can secretly do their objectives and then hide in a pod in the last 20 minutes of a round the true victories are the memorable stories we create, even if we may die and fail entirely you won't remember that time you managed to complete y...

Macros are not a bug or an exploit. The game is programmed to take inputs, and other programs that can facilitate macros to provide said inputs are common and freely available to anyone that wants to use them. If they were deliberately obscured, or if BYOND had some deliberate mechanism to block ma...

if the guy who fucks off into space about every other round is complaining about the nerfs then they are working as intended

4. Ordering silicons to harm or terminate themselves or each other without cause is a violation of Server Rule 1. The occurrence of such an attempt should be adminhelped and then disregarded. At the bare minimum this should be removed. Because of the rule, even people who have a reason to order the...

those who live in glass houses should not throw stones

It seems like the players who would like to do more RP where they discriminate against non-humans may have difficulty applying a gimmick that has the right subtlety and pressure to be engaging without going over a line. Yeah the issue is most people are as subtle as a brick and just start screaming...

Security isn't supposed to kill people, heretics by design have to kill people to ascend. And there you have it untrue, you can full pacifism ascend using only influences. grab already dead bodies and use them for the ascension ritual, bam. There aren't enough influences to do this I don't think. S...

There are rags and I think they may be able to do something sort of like this but I never really attempted so I could be wrong

The murderbone exemption for hijack is required because of how poorly defined murderbone is to the point where some people just consider murder in general to be murderbone

I think the issue is how the definition of murderbone has been expanded to the point where

murder = murderbone

Yeah pirates is one of the antags that made me realize the disparity in enforcement of rule 5 and 6. Pirates can't attack people, but the crew can pretty much murder a pirate on sight for robbing the entire station.

we should send a copy of it into space

it shall survive among the stars

This is fucking hilarious. One of the most Karen tier things I have ever seen

Objectives work well as a sort of guide. Optional if you want to do it or not. The issue is mainly on MRP where the rules on what you can do as an antagonist are based on your objectives. If you have to download a tech disk and steal a tank of plasma as a scientist it feels like you aren't allowed t...

Because of the anti murderbone rules, rounds that aren't dynamic tend to be stale. Dynamic makes the round more interesting by adding more sources of conflict into what would otherwise be a boring round where nothing happens for 2 hours And I am sorry to tell you this Goof, but I don't think people ...

Skip the space part. Skip the programming part. If science wants their materials, it puts it on their shoulders: Keep it simple like cleanbots or floorbots. Put some beacons on lavaland they can dig towards/explore around. You send the bot to lavaland and it simply seeks out rocks. Breaks rocks. On...

I feel as if that would end in someone pioneering a program, and a rare responsible engineer copy pasting it at the start of the round, while most engineers don’t bother. Doesn’t seem much better than clicking rocks. Ideally it would probably vary from round to round so you can't just copy paste so...

There are a fuckton of issues with mining, and it seems like no one is happy with the position it is in. You have a dull, tedious, unchanging job that is balanced out by getting gamer gear. Miners are given instant "mine everything" buttons because mining with a pickaxe or PKA is so mind n...

You can do that in the first 10 minutes of the round. You can pop back after half an hour to make a couple of posibrains that won't pop and a couple of BORIS modules to put in shells that you'll end up storing in the borg chargers after they never get used for the rest of the shift. This is MRP. Ro...

Shaps made it for my character after I went through a maze event they did

What is excluded from the picture is the nightmarish eldritch abomination that is the neon pink lizard that also did the event

It still haunts my memories

Changing the gifts to be stronger and less visible would be nice. I feel like Devil should be a more silent antag, but it can't do that. It has to reveal itself to make any deals.

Also change the end result where too many people giving him souls ends the round

You can either send it to one specific location or all of them.

it should at least be smaller text, but I suppose thats more of a code issue?

seeing this reminds me of the time i played sybil for like over a year and then they did a group photo drawing thing and i got left out and i am still salty

singularities and teslas were fucking awful anyways

built just so people could "accidentally" end the round

nothing of value was lost today

this feels more like a issue with the types of behavior we allow on the servers, its gone from low RP to no RP, i suggest we start clamping down on tiders and people who don't add value to the play experience of other players and send them to no rp servers that alredy exist. A big issue is that the...

Timonk wrote:health scan also says monkey men are human yet they arent

If it isn’t controlled by a player it isn’t human.

I thought the current policy was if you scan them with a health scanner and it says anythin other than human, they're not human. Augmented peeps are always human on the health scanner, unless they werent to begin with. Which is ridiculous and silly, why is android a species and a human at the same ...

I would love a tool or hud overlay that just plain told AIs what counts as human. If we did that, there should be a certain point where genetic and cybernetic modifications make you no longer considered human. But since this is Policy and not Coding, Yeah I think if you can confirm fully augmented ...

A broom is also not exactly an easily available item everywhere on station, although you CAN make them in autolathes, most people don't know that. As for how hard synthpeels are to obtain, supposedly, you can't go a single fucking night without seeing them spammed everywhere on Manuel by some clown...

3 months gang

I have it enabled and I've been getting mangled badly and then healed by rounds end but the next round I dont have any scars. Why? I think it may be reset if you are marooned or killed. If you manage to escape though, I dont know. I have noticed scars carry over but it hasn't gotten to large quanti...

Did a really cool SCP event where specimens were placed into xenobiology and were slowly given instructions on how to contain them. Unfortunately nukies ended the round but it was pretty fun for the short amount of time we could do it You cant prove I did this admin feedback just to encourage Sticky...

It does confuse me when players see a rule that says essentially "don't murder everyone on the station with the explicit goal of slowly whittling down the station pop to zero" and takes it to mean "don't touch anyone ever or you will be banned" Lots of admins seemed to enforce i...

oh yeah and assistants shouldn't be able to go kill pun pun and be rewarded with enough money to buy an auto rifle. They shouldn't even be able to buy those. I think the issue is less with the bounty system and more with the fact you can private buy to just entirely bypass the access locks, allowin...

manuel admins cant even agree on defining what murderbone is, how will the other servers pull it off?

Doing this as a comms agent is incredibly shitty, the ai ignoring other law 2's besides the comms agents is even shittier. Yeah the only real problem are brain-dead silicons who don't understand how conflicting law 2 orders work and need to by babysat every 15 seconds with a new law 2 order to stop...

You talk like this would increase the time it would take for surgery to happen by a lot, but it shouldn't. It's just an extra click or two, and has more to do with having the resource (anesthetic tank, morphine or alcohol) available than making it harder. And Manuel rounds usually last between 50 m...

Everytime this idea pops up I keep asking the same thing and so far no one can give me a good answer how would this be fun or improve the game doing things for the sake of immersion is fucking stupid. You cant point a magazine at the ground in real life and have all the unused bullets magically fly ...

BYOND account: NoxVS Character name: James Knox Ban type: Note Ban length: N/A Ban reason: MRP - As Heretic, used their big flamey ascended move on the shuttle as a last resort against a mob of crew.

It's because the equipment spawn admin button doesn't work like the ert spawn, and admins are lazy. I know I definitely couldn't be arsed to set myself to human when I spawn myself in every goddamn time. Definitely made it funnier when, during an event where I hide with chameleon and watchef centco...

what I dont get is why command cant be nonhuman and then you see some admins catgirl/lizard OC centcom commander running around

why did you have to use hits-the-wizard as the ashwalker, I thought I was free from them forever
