/tg/Station 13

High RP on tgstation is like communism: I'm not saying it's not possible, but it's sure never worked on a grand scale Actually I bet everyone has different things in mind when they talk about it too Yes, but the thing you are forgetting is that you are likely going to get people that do not current...

Going to disagree with the last shift bit. There is no continuous line of consciousness unless your character has never died. So if your character has died, they shouldn't really remember anything. But yes, you're probably right Libby, I have not been nearly as cynical about this as I should have. T...

As a Sec/Cap main, you either have it in you or you don't. I hypothesize job selection is mediated by personality more than anything else. There are likely correlations between the proportion of hours spent as Security/Captain, and how agreeable a person is. People that are disagreeable are more lik...

Hope you guys can make this work. Neither of the headmin candidates have even said shit like "we are working at it" at a thread that's literally about the thing they promised, so, it was just vote fishing. Dead issue I guess. So long RP server, nobody actually gave a shit honk. Possibly, ...

Well, I don't post here often and didn't know what that was until you mentioned it. Someone can move it if they like.

Platapin, Terranaut, and Virtual John all campaigned on changing the ever empty Sybil 2 into an RP server. Their cumulative vote value sums to 1924, nearly the same as the two winners combined. Both Hulk and Morto as far as I have seen have remained neutral on this topic in their threads. They shoul...

I play as Nick Continent, frequently as Security/Captain. - I am generally trusting of other people, and if you can plausibly lie (especially if there is no evidence) I will 99% of the time trust you and be very lenient. If you lie and I find out though there won't be much mercy afterwards. - The mo...

Most of the players are incredibly stupid, uncreative, soulless, and not notable in any way. They are essentially NPCs. Why should anyone care what the "players" think about anything? This fixation on democracy is one of the most cancerous aspects of /tg/station. Just make oranges the dict...

I have not seen a good argument as to why obscolene or malkevin were banned. From what I understand, obscolene posted an essay in favor of Tarrant. As for the content of the essay, I can only imagine what it could be as it has been removed and I have not read it. Let's then assume that it was the wo...

Also one pet peeve I have about overused sci-fi tropes: spacesuits are so bulky for very important reasons as they need many layers of materials to protect against the many dangers of space: pressure, temperature (once you can insulate enough against the cold of space you also need to make sure the...

For some, balance. For others, lack of coders who care about immersion and roleplaying. The "budget cuts" meme makes no sense. Nanotrasen and the Syndicate are in a hyper competitive environment, a state of protracted total war. Cutting the budget to your ultra secret research station unde...

I was the AI. I talked to Elyina like twenty minutes after the ban was placed and (s)he removed it. Also this was on Bagil not Sybil. Give thanks to your GOD. Oh looks like they ban valided you anyway nevermind.

A minor correction, it was not two minutes of the round starting. The logs start with the lobby. [2019-02-24 02:32:51.558] GAME: 02:32:51.558] GAME: PME/(Nick Continent) Client PME/(Nick Continent) has taken ownership of mob (/mob/living/carbon/human) (Captain's Quarters (123, 140, 2)) [2019-02-24 0...

Didn't do anything it happened in the first 60 seconds of the round and the only thing I did was submit a station name (which was accepted) I turned orange like five seconds after that and you know how long it takes to view vars, scroll down and find the reagent, and then type how much you want in. ...

The last time it happened it was Wubli and someone else turning me black at round start. I have to clarify it was not me . I just laughed at you because you announced "have a good day unless you're black or a lizard", then another admin turned you black and you got absolutely upset and ju...

Borgs very infrequently fight one another, it's a non issue. Try focus on improving the combat that happens 99% of the time rather than the 1%.

The combat for the entire game sucks. Not just borgs.

I think Lifeweb is a great game and better than SS13 in almost all respects, but I first heard an idea like this on a /vg/ thread a year or so before Lifeweb even existed. True, it is inspired by Crusade, by this idea has been floating around for a while.

How much syndicate gear will the syndies have available? Certainly not the amount that regular nuke ops get. An armory staffed with ebows instead of tasers. A few e-shields instead of riot shields. A few bulldogs over riots. Red syndicate hardsuits instead of Security Hardsuits. Regular red and gre...

I myself could code this game mode, it wouldn't require much effort. I disagree that they should be some sort of antag that runs with traitors. With three cabals you have 9 antagonists. With four you have twelve. Just because they don't have any special traitor items doesn't mean that they aren't de...

If you read the original post, the Syndies are given the option of either choosing to hold out for reinforcements or nuking SS13, so it's not actually an issue if they abandon ship. The only people that should not be abandoning ship are the Syndicate leaders, who must stay on station to hold things ...

Probably just mass spawning in a bunch of Syndicate NPCs who we can just pretend are about as competent as the players. It's a loss because at that point there is no way NT can deal with the threat without investing massive amounts of resources. The attempt to snip the problem in the bud has failed,...

Rework of Gang into Cabals. Functionally, a more interesting extended round. It's time for some scheming. - 3 to 4 Cabals on station. - Each Cabal leader spawns with one conversion pen. - Conversion pen has two uses and after that it disintegrates. - The two players who were converted are now a memb...

I have ideas for game modes. They'll never be implemented, but maybe someone will be inspired by what I've written here and implement the concept in another way. For this reason the details are vague. I do think this is a new form of game mode however. Invasion [name in progress] - NT has detected r...

Sure, this is a good idea. Minor Brute Trauma : Minor slowdown of use of limb, slight impact of performance on that organ/body part. For example if the hand is effected, takes a bit longer to pick something up or to use an item in your hand. Maybe able to be easily slept off in lying in a bed if no ...

Remove the destructive potential and you have a bunch of idiots just walking around doing nothing, getting bored, unable to burn their own hands on the stove, and waiting for traitors to spice their lives up... When I talk about removing destructive potential, I made it clear that I was not talking...

To finish off my previous post. RP Despite what Goof says, a higher standard for RP actually does result in longer round times. RP should not be enforced from an administrative perspective, but elements should be added or removed from the game to encourage stronger roleplaying. What makes SS13 speci...

I don't disagree with the idea that rounds should be longer than they currently are but introducing an arbitrary minimum round length is not the way to handle things. The shuttle is always called when it is for a reason, either for IC or OOC reasons. Making it so that the round has to be at least fo...
