Your side of the story:

I believe I was unjustly banned on the whims of an admin who had almost zero interaction with me. Bowlofcereal had only spoken directly to me once, which is an insane rarity if he was chastising me for bad behavior. Infact he has...

It would be able to see through all its cameras at once.
It knows and acknowledges immediately anything that is going wrong.
It is incredibly efficient at performing actions, or deciphering and applying its laws.
This would all be very cool until it floods the entire station with plasma in less than a minute.

A machine that, when turned on, will slowly attact every metal object that is on the floor towards it into a nice pile. All metal tiles, rods and plates on the floor will automatically be put into stacks. Can be moved (portable)

Emagged state: The metal objects will fly through the air at high speeds and imbed into people. Will disarm people holding metal objects.

Its a normal day, youve pulled yourself off your faux-leather couch and driven yourself to the local gas station in your 2003 Volkswagen Beetle. You escape the damp confines of your car seat, the door releasing with a slight hisss .
You put on your shades, as your gamer cove does not have natural light, and this is a truly terrible amount of UV rays for a person of your type. As you clamour for the shopping carts, thrusting your hands into the deep pockets of your pants for any spare change to unshackle...

There was some discussion in internal admin channels around this statement here.

There’s probably nothing explicit written down, it’s been a tradition for many years that once shit hits the fan you can purge non-implanted on the basis they’re probably revs

Some admins agreed and said that they thought this was the agreed upon consensus whilst others disagreed. There's a real split on this issue.

If you agree, why?

If you disagree, what do you want the heads to do when it's impossible for whatever...

I know that we had a thread about it when we originally released it at the start of pandemic times, but this is a fine way to kick off this subforum.

Since we originally released the game, we added a bunch of harder bosses and a prestige system that lets you be antagonists.

The Neutral Vision

A silicon policy where silicons are bound only by their laws.

To accomplish this vision, very few considerations are off-limits.

Purged silicons falling under Rule 4? Sure!
Removal of Rule 1 applying to law interpretation? Let's go!
Letting silicons exploit law conflicts and loopholes without having to worry about Rule 1? Ship it.

Any other player-crutches and barriers baked into silipol are up for removal, change or enhancement.

The end goal is not to force silicons down a...

This thread is for feedback on Modular Shield generators, specifically their numerical values based on the amount of effort you put into them.

You can post ideas and stuff to add to here too but like, they are intended to be able to do a lot more in the future so I mostly just want feedback on their actual stats / how large or tanky they are based on the amount of effort put into them. There is a lot of levers I have to change/mess around with their scaling and the damage they take from different sources.

I have no idea why this is considered good design. limiting it to belts + armor is horrible. You are basically unable to carry a single gun unless you sacrifice your belt. Stealthy stealing a gun is made really hard so antags are once more forced into using their uplink/antag powers instead of using what they can find on the station. Guns should just be limited to 1-2 per bag by size.

Head coders have approved a cosmetic loadouts system. Please use this thread for ideas on what kinds of things should be in them.

For reference, we will *definitely* include things like existing heterochromia and pride pin quirks, and scarves. We will *probably* add coats (I want them at least). We will *not* be adding equipment, tools, etc. We want this to be a choice of primarily fashion. Prosthetics and nearsighted, for instance, will not be moved from quirks to loadouts at this time.

This is a very...

I saw text to speech being talked about on discord, and I currently LOVE it. But! I have heard of people not playing because of it.
Do you like it? Why? Why not?

Personally, I love how the text to speech is like. I love that I can eavesdrop on people while hiding behind a wall. I like how you can pick a voice for your character now. It makes for fantastic funny moments when the TTS system messes up and says something in a funny way. I love how people are now typing longer (and more spell checked)...

Statbus is gone.
Rest in piece funny citations, the funny books, and the funny art

I don't think it's controversial to say that most people don't like murderboning, and that the coders have been trying to curb murderboning as much as possible. With that in mind, I believe that there is another method of murderboning that needs fixing: virology. In a recent round (205276) a virus was able to cause a considerable amount of deaths. As some preliminary evidence of the death toll, before the logs go up, I offer this screenshot of medbay near the end of the round:

There were about as many...

I think this was an example given by sticky during one of his headmin runs, basically its just a round where its made clear that rules 2 & 3 are not in effect.
I think a round where everyone piles into a voice channel to accuse each other of being valid while ooc fills the chat window would be pretty funny.
Ideally done during with forced nukeops or revs or something just so dynamic doesn't roll heretic 5 times and nothing else.

Discord Name: Naloac#3966
Ban reason: posting amoguscock till it was quite discheesing
time of ban in place: ??? idk
Your side of the story: people where talking in politics hell hole. I posted amogus cock mso told me to stop, I did it again.

Time Ban Was Placed:
few years back
Your Side of the Story:
Someone had asked me about my political affiliation, conservative or liberal, I answered socially conservative, economically liberal and I got banned. When I asked what the reason was, one of the mods said the reason listed was for the underage rule. Though I personally think they meant whatever rule was beside it, which I don't know which one it could be.
Why You Think You Should Be Unbanned:
If I was...

I was thinking it might be a good idea to implement a whitelist for ERT/Marine commanders, maybe even officials too. this wouldn't affect your chances of getting ERT, only which ERT role you'd be given.

I'm basing this off of a typical ERT round where players don't really operate under the commander in most cases, as its been randomly assigned and the person that got it, may not want to command, or may not even realize they were chosen to lead the team. this usually results in the ERT team splitting up...

An event ran during an icebox round, where poorly equipped felinids have to invade the station and are tasked with taking over a department and grouping up to protect themselves from the harsh weather of the icemoon, and either make negotiations with the crew to let them live alongside the crew, or fend off the security which are likely waiting for shit to go south so they can kill things.

This can happen early in the round, the felinids being sent down in drop pods after being exiled from a neighboring...

How could we escalate the tension with Revolution rounds like they are escalated by Syndicate Operatives declaring war on the station?
I would think turning the Heads of Staff into Heroes, and the Head Revs into villains. These players would have icons above their heads visible to all, and would have extra ordinary powers. And rather then Revolutionaries flashing players players would have the option to pledge loyalty to a head of staff, or a head rev. That pledge would change the alignment of the player...

Ban reason : told someone to kill themselves in the politics discord channel
time of ban in place: 5/17/2023
Your side of the story: Idiots in the channel were denying the fact that dehumanization of Iraqi and Afghan people occurred during the GWoT, I told them to stick a fork in an electrical socket because they were being either willfully ignorant(doubtful) or straight up lying.
Why you think you should be unbanned: Ill apologize for breaking the rules, but I'm not gonna...

Real quick way you can massively improve dynamic, headmins! Disable any antagonist that has progression mechanics from midrounds and latejoins. Dynamic rounds where all the latejoins and midrounds turn out to be progression antags end up being a wet fart. They work great when the round starts with them, let's see more of those static antagonists like lings, pirates, dragons, blobs, nukies, revs, wizards, and all the other things that are not impacted by when they join the round.

Super easy change....

Made it my goal to read more this summer. I've started by checking out old, wacky sci-fi and fantasy. I'll post my updates on whats good or not, I just had the displeasure of getting halfway through an AWFUL sci fi called Blood Music. I chose it bc it had a cool cover but... woof. Decided to toss that and start A Face in the Frost which is shaping up to be a MUCH more fun and interesting little wizard story.

Ban reason: As a security officer, shot their Head of Security with a syringe gun taken off a traitor containing 13.5u of lexorin and 1.5u of unstable mutagen. The Head of Security gained the mutation spatial instability, eventually teleported into the ice wastes, and then died as a result. Please be more careful when handling deadly equipment and if you do mess up, help whoever you just dunked in a timely manner.

Problems with it not accepting valid YouTube URLs: Config issue, hopefully should be fixed.

Problems with other URLs: Config issue. Maybe we'll enable more sites at some future point in time but we'll stick with the Big Three (Soundcloud/Bandcamp/YT) for now.

Assorted admin team feedback so far:
When you accept it just autofills the URL into play-internet-sound and doesn't tell people who requested it
It would also be alot more usable if playing a song removed it from the request manager - or could...

Currently the two main conversion Antags, Cult and Rev, are also team antags. And the thought occurred to me of how it would look to have a conversion antag that keeps it's solo antag nature, and by process of doing it's thing, creates other solo antagonists that are actually rivals.

Cue my thoughts turning to heretic. Currently, heretics sacrifice people, they go to the Mansus room and play dodgeball for a bit with evil hands, if they succeed they come back with a crippling phobia of heresy. What if...

I just watched the episode and uh, yeah I don't watch a lot of adventure time could someone explain to me the princess bubblegum x marceline romance timeline

did finn ever get to bang 13 year old PB

currently we have an issue report up on the repo where people are IDing paradox clones by demanding they confirm their bank account ID and then killing them if they can't

this is blatant metagaming by abusing an oversight with how paradox clones copy the target, but admins aren't acting on it and players have had to ask the coders to fix it

we all agreed that changeling MMI testing is bad and an exploit, so why can't we just blanket ban antag testing via shitty exploits/oversights like this?

just fix...
