/tg/Station 13

If we simply push no buttons, I think the game will run fine. In the situations where there are lots of tickets, that usually means that it is a situation that doesn't need us to push any other buttons.

I feel like midrounds are just better as a tool for accelerating the conclusion of a really stagnate round via manually putting them into a round, rather than automatically. I think automatically spawning midrounds negatively impact the drama of an ongoing conflict derived from a crew-drawn antagoni...

Nothing lasts forever.

Doomed by the narrative.

I feel like I generally agree with you, but I also worry about situations where someone is intentionally doing a bad job but claiming it's unintentional in order to circumvent this rule. I think that could be handled case-by-case though. I do feel like the policy needs some clarification added, as ...

its new content. When I added settler, people were riding cows for a few weeks every shift. It's not so common anymore. I think if it persists then maybe it might be an issue, but for now I think it is mostly people having fun with the new stuff.

I feel like someone intentionally doing a bad job, in a way that is detrimental to others and negatively impacts others, is reason enough to circumvent them. I think Rule 9 is meant to give people the opportunity to play out the role they signed up for. If their choice, because they are the ones cho...

Who gives a shit what they think, they're wrong.

Those raptors sure are fast if you have Settler. I've been seeing them zooming around on them at breakneck speeds. One in particular chased down traitor with a spear, weaving through a hail of laser fire.

why the fuck is it that every time I go to look at what is happening during a delamination, every single person in the engineering section is irradiated and dying. I don't get it, engineering has suits right there.

I'll miss birdshot, it had some cool stuff going on with how vast some sections of the station were. I think there is something neat in big underdeveloped stationa areas. But I'm enjoying wawa more for a more rundown feeling station. The tunnels are so, so fun to crawl through, and I really adore th...

MSO unleashes the plagues of chuds onto TGMC in retribution for their arrogance.

It really does take making a literal trip to the past to see whether or not the state of the game back then was better or worse. And overall, most things are worse in my opinion. The sprite rendering looks much worse, the framerate is much worse (this was before actioninja's work to improve framerat...

Since the data available does not suggest there is even a correlation between population and the map currently up on the server, what benefit is there to limiting sybil's rotation? Why these three particular maps to begin with? There is no prospect of anything meaningful being accomplished by doing ...

It is an oubliette. And the people who go there are only hurting themselves.

This is incredibly fucking stupid and I would like to formally ask for the word filter to please direct towards any other word.

Change it to 'plank' or something entirely harmless.

They are pretending to not know so you cant kill someone who is shoving you while holding cable cuffs in their other hand. PKP is a fossil, they haven't a clue what the game is like rn. tabling stun was removed i thought :O Tabling (IIRC) does a knockdown and applies stamina damage so you can: tabl...

I think everyone being negative about felinids in this thread should be player's club banned fr

True, but I would argue that with the intensity that it is enforced on manuel by it's population it might as well be a ban there at least, at least to a limited extent. Ligger is still 100% cringe; at least be original if you're going to be discriminatory. If players choose to utilize the rules ava...

mm, not sure I dont like the "Well this isnt required for your progression" being the decider, since basically nothing robotics makes has any progression value. Borgs? They dont benefit your progression. Utility mechs? They don't benefit your progression except to combat mechs. Combat mec...

This month sure has been weird.

That's only sorta true. A combat mech without any arm equipment can't do much of anything. But a mech with arm equipment attached, no matter what that equipment might be, can punch down walls and objects, punch people (even hard stun if it is a durand) and generally engage in a bit of the ol' mech f...

Even if you believe Goon/others enforce their rules arbitrarily and promote a culture of fear, I don't think you can deny that level enforcement leads to a higher standard of roleplay on their servers. You're right about other MRP servers using admin interactions less as a tool to teach and more as...

I mean, they admit that they were burnt out at least, that is an acknowledgement of the problem. But they almost certainly should put in a few more hours before that gets lifted.

I dont see why the banning admin could had just made someone else cult and just saved all parties involved the headache. If someone rolls cult/ any other antag at the time and they decide they want to do something else they should be allowed to do so. If they ask. There is nothing wrong with ahelpi...

The autopsy research only prevents advancing medical tech, including surgery and cybernetics (but not robotics). You can still get weapons tech, mechs, that kind of thing just fine. Preventing the autopsies only hinders medical and some very particular parts of robotics. Parts that are actually good...

So a shaft miner with a power miner holo is valid because its dangerous and it makes them hard/impossible to arrest? Especially if that power miner is combat oriented? Every reason for sec to want to destroy a mech is also valid for most power miner types especially the ones capable of mass murder ...

I think that is the wrong mindset to approach the dynamic of admin. They're not a series of hammers to apply when necessary, they're guideposts to help demonstrate and coach players towards server-healthy decisions, and help foster a more enjoyable experience for everyone 'fairly'. They're written a...

If you build a mech, and sec choose to come demolish it because it is a weapon and they don't want you to have it, and you retaliate lethally in that mech, you are in the wrong. It it not mandatory for you to have a combat mech as part of your role as a roboticist, even though it is something you ca...

Kendrick, are doing you okay?

You can wipe out most blobs with just a PKA strapped to a ripley, it's not particularly difficult to kill blobs and EMP blob doesn't really help.

Sec and the RD are welcome to police it if they wish. I don't see any reason we should have any hard and fast rule about it, it is entirely an IC issue.

I AM ALPHA MAN!! sounds like a great brain damage line

I really, really have to fucking feel for Dunham dealing with 48 individual messages from this guy because he literally refused to drop an issue. Talk about not getting the hint... For any pink names reading this thread; you are empowered, and very much encouraged to hand out ahelp mutes if someone ...

istoprocent in this thread: FREE WILL IS A MYTH

A sting operation? Funny choice of words. It was entrapment with the outcome being pretty obvious. It was a really dirty way of getting at somebody who had previously commented on their friend negatively, since now we know who was the mysterious noticer noticing something that everybody else missed...

Lol

Sent from my Windows 10 computer.

RR 10 is mostly a louder version of the unwritten rule that is applied across all servers. Rule 4 has already been reworded such that it isn't totally unrestricted; it has to still follow the major 'no exceptions' rules like metacomms and rule 8. I can't imagine Rule 6 is one they are allowed to ign...

A good thread to demonstrate the issue of signal pulsing and logs.

Thankfully, hrefs is a pretty good way to check some of these things.

I've finally showed up to give my thoughts and conclusions based on both what I observed in-game and being discussed. Conflict in general lasted longer Firstly, the most predominant conclusion most people came too seems to be that fights generally lasted a lot longer. A fight wouldn't be basically o...

I'll break your legs

It's weird that the roleplay rules already have this solved; act like security, and be held to their standards. While it might start to infringe upon Rule 4 and its precedents, it probably would go a long way to close any loops to be required to act within the same reasonable bounds as sec. If you d...

Most peanuts do. And honestly, sometimes you do get some events turned around after the fact. Maybe it would have done Gupta some good to go check the logs to make sure when he made his warnings. But honestly, it is a mistake anyone could make.

I suppose, is it better to assume where a role is absent on the list to treat it as restricted or unrestricted? Personally, I think we should treat anything not on the list as restricted until stated otherwise.

Got two back to back colossi in one round. The hiero arena is an excellent spot to kill it. Those indestructible walls do a lot. Honestly, it feels nice to actually be doing the parts of lavaland I was always too nervous to try because of my latency. I really just had to compensate in some ways that...

I might try fighting megafauna with a pipegun next. Functionally just x4 Range PKA with some leeway. And having to load in new bullets manually could be fun.

I got another colossus via rifle but unfortunately DrAmazing was sacrificed in the process. Definitely very easy to kill most bosses this way, if I had to be honest. I wonder how it will fair against bubbles. I'm, however, not using the shit rifles again, spending several seconds running away, dodgi...
