Now that lings are 100% allowed to say fuck. Perhaps we could get some kind of actual test for whether or not someone is a ling. And since changeling is basically one big Thing reference what better way than the good ol blood test. Get a beaker, fill it with the accused's blood, then apply a cautery.

My reasoning for this is that there's not really any good ways to test for lings who aren't disguised besides the brain test which is against the rules. And if there's worries about the test being broken out...

I've had some cool conversations on the discord with people about the gym so I thought a thread might be cool, too. I've heard anecdotally that having a place to talk about it can be pretty encouraging and helpful.

I've been going to the gym mostly daily since mid-December. It was my New Year's Resolution and I've been pretty alright at staying on top of it. I go in late and do like a half hour of interval on an elliptical, then 3 sets of 10 reps on the gym machines while alternating leg and arm days. I...

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)...

Rule 12 is a confusing rule, that is so bad it has to be explained to admins when they are candidated.
The current rule 12 is as follows:
12. This is a sandbox roleplaying game
The purpose of the game is to have fun roleplaying. Play-to-win gameplay that ruins the purpose of the game at the expense of others is against the rules.
I have a few problems with this, mainly in the fact 'Play-to-win Gameplay is inherently a very loose and non-defining term.
What does it even mean?
I thought we were...

Ban type: Server
Ban length: Permanent
Ban reason: Consistently low-quality play over the last month, culminating in shooting someone dead as a Security officer for having a bluespace portal gun after said person told him to shoot him. You had plenty of non-lethal options and just chose not to do so to prove a point . You're not here in good faith.

The chef vending machine should have a pair of tongs in it. Tongs allow you to pick up food from a tile away and also feed people from a tile away, so you can pick up a burger and feed it to a fellow over the counter. This prevents hands touching the food and spreading the germs.

Tongs also made a satisfying clicking noise when you clack them together. The autolathe can print many tongs so we can have a crab rave.

Using the tong on a person with no food in it tongs them. They have been tonged!

Note reason: rule 11 When trying to revive an MMI that was ranting about transgender people, said those things go hand in hand when the MMI said that said that trans people were pedophiles. Disconnected the instant they were asked about this.

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...

Recently, I've been confused on whether or not it is allowed to ignore your team antag status and continue to just do your job.
In this thread , multiple admins encourage it.
However, this ban included punishment for it, afaik.

Please clarify!

I wanted to make a PR that forces fake moustaches above headgear (top row), using alternate_worn_layer.

However, many helmets still use inv flag HIDEMASK, which I varedited out during my tests (bottom row).

Is there a way I could override the flag instead?

I took a little bit of a hiatus, it was long enough for a lot of things to change, and I'm feeling a little lost. Can someone recap me on the new things that got added in the last couple of years?

reason: funy

Oh, so what about meta-station makes it the most popular map besides for social inertia. Is there anything from Mehta that in particular makes it feel better to play?

Saw this PR up and wondered what people think about its core premise (Namely, that fire is meaningless). Has anyone else found this to be the case? In my experience fire is already incredibly deadly, hard to get rid of, and also frustrating because once on fire you have maybe 10 seconds max to extinguish yourself before all your clothes burn off, dropping your gear and making you unable to carry items.

I'm out of things to do in-game as a chemist other than produce meds and make narcotics so tell me some stories about your wildest most powerful/most dangerous chemical concoctions. I definitely won't test them on assistants.

I've seen people being picky about the current TTS.
I think the TF2 mercs are probably the best of what we have right now.
Mothblocks' blips PR got reverted within 3 days.

Would it be possible to add some voice types, with particular accents instead of specific video game characters?

instead of the command staff having their vitals monitored by suit sensors like PEASANTS, they should have chips in their brains that start on full sensors. They can also be removed by surgery
