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?

Hey man, I feel it worth pointing out; if you're being placed into random/undesired roles when assigned antagonist, it means you don't have any other available open slots of any of your chosen job prefs to assign you too when you roll antagonist. If you don't want to be randomly assigned to a job yo...

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...

I ran skub events before they were codified. And I nearly crashed the server because of it.

I know but cans account for like 2% of all trash in-game

Why stop at cans? Why not all kinds of trash? I know it isn't particularly in-line with the joke, but I think janitors and assistants being able to make a quick buck by dumping trash bags full of garbage into the Compact-o-Tron outside of cargo sounds funny. It also very mildly lets cargo recoup the...

I think there should be a proc that instantly inflicts the brain damage smite on anyone who uses it (and it isn't followed by '-ant' at the end of the word). That'll filter them out and its funnier.

I think this threads best closed, because the better discussion to be had has to do with 'reasonable containment' and a better definition for that. Also, a reminder that we have Roleplay Rule 10, repetitive gimmicks are not something people should be doing over and over, even as unrestricted antagon...

I've done crusher BDM and Hiero using a cheese strat. I've not done it in a while so I don't know if it still works, but BDM basically lets you easily fight hiero due to that damage reduction so long as you timed it right. Otherwise I've only done those two with legit methods and upgrades (including...

I just think we forgot to update the list tbh.

I mean, if you have a particular worried about people doing that, Jacq, you're in a much better position to resolve that than empty posting in a policy thread. We already have rules for overusing gimmicks to the point of lameness, that's not ground we need to retread.

I regret to inform you blacklist about this, but that sounds funny as fuck.

Crazy since Manuel's #1 hero Jeff "Gaming" Gaiman once gibbed like all of sec as a traitor chef and turned them into burgers. To my knowledge he was not banned for it. I wonder what extra context the ban appeal will provide as to why this was against the rules. The two conditionals there ...

I wasn't like actually going to take this thread seriously because I'm getting very tired of us continuing this cycle of "should (antag) get a free pass because security kills them a lot" but I guess I should explain what the actual issue is here. Heretics are difficult but not impossible...

Heretics seem to be just outright executed the moment they're caught. I'm seeing many excuses as to why line up one after the other; you can't take away the funny hand, you can't contain some of their types (AKA heretics who take rust or lock), and they're an existential threat to the round by still...

I remember when we had cryodarts and you could make better frag-12 using them. You can kinda do that with darts but you'll need to land both shots.

I mean, rubbershot does a pretty good job of stamcritting people in two point blank, and you will be point-blanking with a sawn-off.

We've received a reply. Sadly, while you' not had any notably bad behaviour elsewhere, you also don't have enough hours for me to be confident in lifting the ban. I'll have to see those hours put in somewhere that is actually visible for me or in a place we can verify to be confident about your comm...

I could look into verifying that and if they let us know you've been playing fairly consistently and haven't been antagrolling, I can also accept that as reason enough to unban you here. Was it on this same account, or were you using an alternative account, and if so what is that account?

Space dragons definitely aren't...terribly great unless things are already super fucked or the dragon got fantastic locations for its portal. And the majority of the time that I've seen it win are when the crew have already called the shuttle and it spawned right before it arrives so nobody can reca...

Hey, I'll be taking this appeal on behalf of Scriptis in his absence. For a lot of permanent bans, we typically employ a rule of thumb of time spent not playing usually means time spent doing hopefully something more productive. We've some methods for determining that if people disappear off to othe...

...Timonk, I've already buffed it three times in the last year.

Looking at the logs a bit, it looks like they cremated an assistant (Honda Mothra, an assistant and seemingly one of the moths on the bridge/captain's office), the paramedic Riley Cavalet and the borg. It looks like they opened fire on the paramedic inside the chap's office, and cremated them becaus...

Testmerging is broken right now, as we've come to discover while trying to testmerge this PR. There is a more involved method but it didn't work. It might be a bit.

smashed screens aplenty I'm a fucking stupid bitch that sleeps with her phone next to her in bed and I toss a lot in my sleep so it goes sliding onto the floor.

Please provide feedback from any experiences you have had with this PR here. Either make it known in the comments of the PR, or here if you are going to be particularly verbose.

The round before the big site crash we had was fun, there was a shoddy subversion law, I had a gimmick based on it, but then oops server box out. You may not have seen it, but I pixel shifted a fedora onto your head that round Last night on Terry there were revs, and a HEADREV was chasing down the ...

I don't particularly care about overgearing specifically for the captain in particular, because we have rules about unprompted excessive preparedness for literally all roles, security included. But I don't feel like captain's shouldn't be allowed to equip themselves with alternative equipment if the...

In truth, Ops kinda sucks and we should do Goon Ops instead. Win win. From what I can tell, the ops can always arm the nuke, but they have to arm it in one of two locations? And the disk reduces the timer? And also, they have to defend for 10 minutes and not just arm and ditch? This sounds a bit li...
