tl;dr valid criticisms made in an imperfect way by an unperson, which will be used to ignore those criticisms and anything tangentially related. The disconnect between the coders and the playerbase is real, same with the disconnect between the admins and the coders, and same with the admins and the ...

You know the phrase "there's no such thing as bad publicity"?
That's true but maybe not in the way you think it is.

>Big cities are often very left-wing And how do you explain that? Exposure to diversity breeds tolerance. If you work with many races, lifestyles and so on, you'll begin to tolerate them. This is a well studied well evidenced effect which makes sense. If you interact with trans people on the daily ...

hell yeah let's rig a vote to keep democracy intact Republicans crying foul now gilds every moment of Biden's underwhelming presidency. You can't really vote for the party that spearheaded voter suppression and then turn around and clutch pearls about a rigged vote, that's called being a hypocrite....

This is either excellent satire or an absolutely flat-faced rebranding of the help-shove-grab-hurt system and I love it.

Fire alarms constantly go off for frivolous reasons now, and they keep going off. I've played more than a few rounds where the hallway fire alarms constantly go off for the entire round because some part of some hallway is slightly overpressured or too warm.

I too agree that the industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

The fact that you think Trudeau would ever retaliate for a move which fucked over Alberta and Saskatchewan is laughable. Doubly so when it's a move by Joe Biden ostensibly to combat climate change.

One thing I've noticed with the paycheck-less system is that people just loot ID cards instead of doing bounties or selling things. It's way easier to loot a random corpse, whether still in-round or greytide or catatonic, than to actually do bounties. Unless the round has gone tits-up I don't actual...

After a few times of this event kicking off: The crystal skele event gets triggered on pretty much every delam. The skeles are surprisingly tough, and trying to melee them is suicide.

I'd like both sleepers and cloners back now that Oranges isn't head coder.
Why isn't that an option?

Horza

Which is not at all what happened. Which brings me to my point: The player doesn't necessarily know or understand the situation in the same way that the admin does. Or vice versa. Half of this complaint was me trying to get to the bottom of things after the fact (which I'm already content with by no...

Can I point out that in your first logdump there are clearly ERT members talking about how irradiated engineering is - why wouldn't you assume that they're already on the station? Again, I had thought that they were talking about the situation in the briefing room or the hallway just outside that r...

Alright, makes more sense, just two points: As far as I knew, I was spawned alone in a location without any ERT nearby. I tried to communicate with them and didn't get much response. I didn't know where everyone else was. I didn't know what was going on, so I was going to sit tight until I knew for ...

Nightmares are in a good place on Manuel right now unless you're an uncreative brainlet. For the meaningful past, they've been a random antag that exists to fuck up every light and APC they can find, and can murderbone anyone they want. They're not powerful enough to take on any concerted threat, th...

The big purple *or yellow* name would seem to imply someone who actively plays and is intouch with the community but ive seen alot of admins who sit around like unmoving titans.

I support the idea to use the labor camp more, which would involve a rework on the lavaland side. It's fairly trivial to break out of the gulag, especially since most sec don't actually care to monitor the area, and the only real obstacle is a securitron by the door which is trivial to kill.

2. Would having two servers split the Manuel population so much that it becomes too low population. I doubt number two would ever be the case considering low-pop lends itself well to roleplaying, but it's still worth considering. Categorically incorrect that it's even worth considering. Even a 50-5...

Just make night lighting a publicly-accessible toggle on all APCs with either a cooldown period or local ID-access-dependent permissions protocols in order to avoid abuse. I already hack into APCs as bartender just to avoid having the bar turn into Moe's Tavern half the time.

Just remove summon guns/summon events/body-mind-face-swaps, don't make the round end immediately on wiz death before a certain point into the round (or at all), and nobody would have any problems with wizzes.

Half the reason anyone gives enough of a fuck to play as engineer is the fact the engine is so volatile which makes it exciting.

Pre-ssethtide Sybil was at a very comfy entente between antags and regular players, with counts between 20-50 players.
