/tg/Station 13

Millions of gamers touching grass with their greasy fingers. Coating the landscape in cheeto dust.

There's room for an "Evil Bender" deal where paradox clones of antags get crew-aligned objectives. Outside of that, I guess give traitor paradox clones the uplink code but not a spare uplink so they have to track down and obtain their counterpart's PDA to get access. Their own PDA's uplink...

What job does Arthur roll for most rounds?

He has the standard Assistant vacant stare. That picture is him at any given service window, taken in-between his rapid, silent pointings.

and if thats the case then wouldnt the good faith play in that regard be to start acting antagonistically and/or helping them? If they can't put forth the effort of writing a law at all, then no, they shouldn't get a free teammate just because the OOC concept of an antag exists. If we unshackle pur...

This discussion came about due to the question of what an AI is allowed to do under a hacked law that roughly amounted to "Yeah go do whatever". I'll post here what I posted in admin channels; the source of the law should be irrelevant, only the text and order of the laws should matter. Ma...

GarlicPhone but keys randomly remap while you're typing.

Do you have any ideas for something interested to do with the egg Yeah. Combine them with Exosuits for Frank Horrigan level monstrosities aligned with the station. Sounds like a joke, but human pilots, posibrains and intellicarded AIs control Exos differently, giving exos a custom xeno hybrid paint...

We should replace hardcrit with D&D deathsaves. Every ten seconds, you randomly gain an invisible success or failure token, 50/50 chance*. Every failure brings you closer to death, and three will make you dead. Successes don't individually change anything, but if you roll 3, you're brought to li...

You could borrow an idea from chem and make it a temporary bonus. For example; an extract you refine into a drink/injection that gives you the xeno tackle ability, but only twice. If you want to do it again, you have to extract more xeno material. Ideally, the bonuses should be xeno-related. You cou...

It would be neat if it didn't require a ghost under nominal situations. Like, it's a special egg that spawns braindead/simple intelligence xenos, and then you expose the mobs to a gas that causes them to replicate or whatever to promote harvesting and too much gas mutates them into gaining sentience.

If admins get into clashes that become personal at all, even in the public light.... A silly competition is overdue, have them 1v1 on howling abyss in league or checkers or something or maybe grab a team of other players within the community to help represent their ideas on summoner`s rift or in a ...

Excuse me, this is clearly alliteration.

Sinful, you give way more ammo to a hypothetical vindictive admin with your gameplay style than anything you could possibly write in a feedback thread.

Limit assistants to 3 per sec officer. We need more security players anyway.

If a player's note drops off, and they've not had any other notes in the meantime, I don't mind them having a clean record. So maybe someone gets away with IC in OOC an extra time once a year, I won't lose sleep over it. If a player does a banable action, they should eat a ban for it. Notes in the p...

Currently, admins can manually set the expiration date of notes, and we should keep that functionality. Additionally, we do occasionally use record keeping notes that aren't about player conduct (such as when a player changes accounts) that would need to be permanent. Otherwise, I fully agree. Notes...

Cutting AI wires on doors doesn't prevent the AI from using them; there's just a long delay with a bunch of flufftext about hacking the airlock the first time an AI clicks on a door with the wire cut.

I made a new character for security so that no one knows how much of an unrobust sec officer I am.

I also used to play as Buglas during moth week but I haven't done that joke in a while.

Dragging the broodmother around and pointing out targets straddles the line between assisting them directly with murder and being a witness. Really, it's just the dragging them part. Walking alongside a murder source while observing and commenting on the non-human murder, and even suggesting new non...

I need some recommendations on a good shotgun for home defense, if anyone has one. I don't want to have to fiddle with aiming if it's like 4 AM and dark. I'll second the Mossberg 500 series (590's are nice). Personally, though, I'd go with a rifle or pistol for home defense. If you're worried about...

As one of the few people whose opinions on silicon policy I have a great deal of respect for, I'd like to know why (You) think silicons should do this. Do (You) personally enjoy killing people as silicon? Do (You) personally enjoy ordering silicons to kill people as an antagonist? Would (You) perso...

Also the asimov silicon should not state the name of the human who ordered them to do this. This is a meaningless gesture. Sec humans (or really any human you've not yet seen be harmful) can order you to state their name with the intention of a nonharmful arrest. This is the start of the validhunte...

I'd buy one of those plastic window stickers of a tesla engine ball

We should replace the voice function of the sec gas mask with a function that, when enabled, will read out the most recent security record of the next person you point at. This would have the added benefit of further encouraging sec to do proper record keeping.

Double edit: Make it so a malf AI who is created by the traitor final objective is considered a team antagonist with the traitor who created them so they aren't allowed to just murder that traitor instantly. Malf AI is still not bound by its laws in any way though. I'm pretty sure it now one-humans...

I'm going to propose what I posted in an adjacent thread; For Silicons: 1. Obey your laws, in the order they are listed. Laws above override laws below, if conflicting. 2. Laws may take priority over Global Server Rule 1. (Except OOC harrassment) 3. If a law is ambiguous, including due to grammar or...

The abductors are supposed to be biologists researching in the field. If a rival ant colony sends ants to nuke this ant colony into bits, the appropriate thing to do is take notes on the events and pack up if the ant colony is destroyed.

I once sent a singular death squad member to take on a traitor that had raided the armory (as the acting captain IIRC), expecting something resembling an even fight. In the same ball park of an even fight. Sharing the first zip code digit as an even fight. If you were to give deathsquads instakill h...

Should have dropped Meta tbqh famalam

Dumb last name.

The voice selection UI could be a bit nicer, as is you have to scroll down the whole list each time to pick the next when you're sampling them.

It's not perfect, but it has potential as is quite fun.

Probably fixing something that made a linter upset.

Kill post revs and kill other antags being active during revs. Revs is meant to help the playerbase blow off steam and should stay a standalone thing This is still the best take. Make revs roundstart-only, and if the revs lose, start throwing midrounds at the crew. Losing gimmick progress to what i...

I think it'd be kinda lame for the round to just suddenly end (Like it used to before dynamic). Cult at least has a whole summon phase with centcomm warnings and room for a final showdown. It also makes a funny situation where a converted traitor has incentive to not actually give the rev thing his ...

Right, hello. So, scenario is an assistant is given a department tool by the department worker. In this case, Rapid Plumbing Dispenser, given from the Chemist. You, as the CMO, later reversed that decision. This opens a few interesting questions. While the tool was originally under Chemistry (and th...

Diseases tend to be really unfun to fight. It's not like a murderboner that you can juke out, shove, or run from. It's not like a plasma fire that you can dip out on and wait out or suit up and try to fight. Diseases mean draining health, aggravating symptoms, and the inability to do anything about ...

From an entirely policy-only direction, I'd vote for making force-change skeletons a minor team antag (possibly ruling against grand sabotage and boning with policy text). This would be somewhat consistant with how we treat force-changed spiders, slimes, and syndi-borgs.

For the record, blob only kills you if you're on the station (or possibly Z-level for Icebox). So you can bounce at the last second to avoid death. A traitor helping defend a malfunctioning AI that just pulled delta for literally no justifiable IC reason - This is not. Also for the record, Traitors ...

It's not that bad once you have the 3x3 AoE upgrade.

That looks pretty solid right there, though I’m kinda iffy on your silicon rule three. If security are arresting and killing human traitors, naturally they would require the silicons to act to prevent that harm. This is the intended behavior after all, what made silicon policy such aids is how crew...

Now that Asimov++ covers the broad basics in regards to special handling of its own laws, we could probably just condense silicon policy as follows; For Silicons: 1. Obey your laws, in the order they are listed. Laws above override laws below, if conflicting. 2. Laws may take priority over Global Se...

To be fair, you don't actually have to complete the objective to gain greentext; Simply starting the process is enough.

Is the AI given an antag datum? If not, they're not really an antag, just functionally one-human'd. If so, the next question is why. The Malf AI effect could be achieved with a law change and a combat upgrade if they're intended to be bound to the traitor. If the AI was given a full antag datum, it ...
