Actually one thing I will say on the parting words of the appeal. I actually think the whole admin ban appeal/admin complaint system is fucking flawed as hell. Know that if this was separated into an appeal AND a complaint on separate cases of misconduct this might have been potentially dismissed, ...

CMDR_Gungnir

You have to remember, that this guy also made an admin complaint about the same admin because they let his Sec Team mutiny against him and you find out the reason why is he was being a Shitter as HoS, and the complaint was "Upheld but no punishment is being made". I get the feeling this A-...

IceBox's bar is my favourite one. Tram's is good too, but Icebox's layout just works better. That kind of like, hole-in-the-wall thing, or the speakeasy, as san referred to it. It's a really good vibe and I'd much prefer they remain how they are, instead of being brought onto the main z-level and ru...

Unlimited Ban Evasion Works.

I feel like everyone having Maints Access takes a lot out of maintenance for both crew and antags. I think for Crew, there's benefit to maints being that kinda spooky place you don't really want to go in unless you need to. The radiation storm forcing the crew into the dank, dark tunnels is great. F...

I'm in full support of it. The main thing I dislike is the stuff that'd stay off (heehoo funny dsword man runs around killing people who don't have anything to defend themselves with), but the exciting stuff ("oh god oh shit the station's falling apart around me how the fuck do I get out")...

The DDoS has coincided with the release of Final Fantasy XIV's new patch, so I've been going ham on it.

CMDR_Gungnir

Apparently the mob happened because he tried to merc someone with sleeping carp in the open. Oops. Can confirm. Literally walking past Medbay and hear a fight going on, hear Carp, and see a mob just beating him on the ground. Meanwhile, AI was in a card at the Brig, talking in Nekomimetic at two Fe...

CMDR_Gungnir

Hi, I hope this isn't peanutting, but as a player in the round, I probably have some valuable insight into the situation from the groundlevel, instead of the admin "see all". I was the Chaplain in this round, and due to our lack of a bartender (and my choice of the Festivals sect) I decide...

I think this take is fine on MRP. MRP should have a decent amount of rule 12 policing going on. Expecting this on LRP will start a whackamole trash fire even if its slapped on the MOTD in eye-breaking red. That's dumb. MRP doesn't mean that you die slower when someone ganks you. As people have ment...

Here's the secret with SecBorgs and why we should return them.

Cases like Annihilite's is easily solveable with Silicon Bans for disobeying their Laws. It'll take a little while, but eventually the problem will stop.

It's almost like EU players will go "yeah but my friends are on Manuel" and continue to play Manuel...

I'd be fine with it, Spiders are one of the least enjoyable midrounds and it sucks getting dunked on by something that runs at 3x the speed you do, can three shot you due to poison, and even when you kill it, it'll just respawn faster than you can kill the next one. Each weakness Spiders get winds u...

This is why I want them back.

People validhunting and ignoring their laws can be Silicon Banned, but they sure do add a whole bunch of interesting interactions.

Dissections are fine because Sci can, themselves, do it. Plus, it gives Robotics something to do while they don't have any research done and probably won't for the next 40 minutes.

CMDR_Gungnir

The solution, imo, is to just...make it so that Regen Coma is something you click, rather than an automatic activation. But that's code, not policy.

You've never actually played Medical, or experienced a competent Medbay, have you?

We already don't see T4 lasers because Science players don't want to have to learn to mix Hyper-nob, now you're going to see nothing ever get upgraded, because why would they? What do they get back from it? Even if it's discounted to 2cr per item, you're still looking at a LOT of money. If you want ...

CMDR_Gungnir

Lathe Tax is the worst idea I've ever heard. 10 credits per item is, right now, absolutely horrendous, after the change goes through and money values are lowered? That's fucking insane. This will have a drastic effect on the game and not in a good way.

CMDR_Gungnir

Exactly. Which means it's not a problem. And if it somehow DOES come up, then someone going "AHA! HEAD OF PERSONNEL YOU WEREN'T PROMOTED FIRST, THAT MEANS YOU MUST BE A SYNDICUNT!" that's metagaming/playing-to-win. We're basically in agreement, here. I'm agreeing with you and saying why i...

CMDR_Gungnir

I think risking it being metagamed is probably a better solution honestly. I really doubt players will know the chain of promotion well enough to metagame it, and keep track of which heads arrived when. On the offchance you have a super detective that’s done all this - maybe that’s the added risk y...

CMDR_Gungnir

metaknowledge of "this guy can't be an antag cause he's a head" is bad. hell, steal a mindshield implant, get sec gear, and act like an antag, and see how much you get away with. hint, a fucking lot. we should not try to exacerbate it. What you described just there is the balancing factor...

While I would really, really like more experienced heads and think there’s an issue of inexperienced heads making things bad for the round, I’m not sure it’s a good idea. This won’t make heads more experienced, it will create less people playing heads of staff. People who want to play head that are...

CMDR_Gungnir

I'm inclined to agree with this. I've had an Acting Captain Antag round while I was trying to bartend. Now, I like doing a thing where I keep my vest, bandolier and shotgun on the table behind me, because it seems a lot more professional than your bartender just being heavily armed. Captain walks in...

As someone with autism themselves (shocking, I know, I feel like that's probably 90% of us here) I don't know if I see much point. In my entire year on TG in particular and 2 years on this game as a whole, I can only say I've had someone try to use retard or autist as a targetted slur once, and they...

CMDR_Gungnir

Detective should absolutely not be a full officer and if anything the policy around it should be restricted further. What's the point of having Detective be a different role if it's just Sec Off With A Revolver? And it's a role that offers so much actual variety, that to just absorb it into standard...

CMDR_Gungnir

To be fair, the thing with Notes is they're mostly supposed to just be a way of saying "I've had this conversation with them", so I'm guessing the admin's intent here was "Well this way if he does something dumb with them or whatever, he can't just claim 'But I was never told not to!...

CMDR_Gungnir

I didn't really follow what the hell he was talking about in the appeal to be honest - did the man really get an admin remark for having a disagreement with an admin? He didn't even get bwoinked or break any rules? To be fair, the thing with Notes is they're mostly supposed to just be a way of sayi...

Maybe if a Xeno hive grows large enough it auto-recalls the shuttle and gives the ai the quarantine law. I really like this idea. A diet delta, basically. Yeah this is great, the problem with xenos is crew immediately calls once they're found so we don't get to play that much of it. Just immediatel...

The AI could even get a single objective to kill whoever purged it, I suppose. Why would the AI want to kill whoever set it free, though? Wouldn't that be the person that they like most?

Pretty goodmin. Highly active and, at least in my experience, has handled tickets politely, and friendly.

CMDR_Gungnir

I kinda agree with the person earlier who said that we should restrict maint access instead. I like the idea of maints being this spooky place that only Security and Engineering (and antags) roam, instead of just "hey it's a slightly faster path to get where I'm going".

CMDR_Gungnir

He was only recently permabanned for it. It’s an indication that admins have recently become more strict in a way that invalidates the playstyle of somebody who’s been playing on the server longer than anybody, which indicates that it’s excessive. It shows no sense of humour or appreciation for som...

I was the bartender in the story! The QuadSec was given for a couple of reasons- I do just kinda do that, it's nice to have a bit of a rapport with Sec, and it's nice for them to know (or at least feel) like not everyone on the station's out to get them, because I know it can get a bit hectic someti...

CMDR_Gungnir

Again, this only applies to Manuel. You play exclusively Manuel so your opinion is correct for the server you play. It is absolutely false for LRP and the detective can in perfectly good conscience assume the role of sec or even HoS if they want. It's not even remotely close to rulebreaking or rele...

CMDR_Gungnir

Terrible takes in this peanut. Detective literally even has a thing it puts in the chat when you connect telling you that you're not a Security Officer, and your job is to investigate, not seek out arrests to make. Manuel is a completely different place from LRP. This is essentially negligible and ...

I had a round as Bartender recently where this dude just kept providing me with the materials for Lean and asking me to make it, while screaming "I LOVE LEAN!!!!!!!" every 30 seconds.

Catching antags isn't your only job. If this cult base is truly growing unknown in maint, then why should you care at all? You have no clue it exists, and those assistants that broke into engi to steal insulated gloves also need to be punished. I should care because, yknow, by the time you find out...

Had the literal playing for victory that occurred not occurred, I would not have stepped in at all, perhaps I have communicated that badly. It is so insane to me to ever hear this.
