Character name:Nathan Lowestone

Ban type:Server Ban

Ban length:Permanent

Ban reason:Once again, ignited a CLF3 grenade on the shuttle before the round ended, having mistimed when round end would happen. You have a history of bomb based abuse, including a similar incident a month ago, notes detailing that you shouldnt be abusing bombs on the shuttle, and others detailing your abuse of chem in general. i can't see you improving, especially with how flippant you were to being...

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...

just code it so that the faxes are also sent to centcom.

then I promise I'll use it!

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...

This might not be the timeliest of threads, but take this opportunity to leave your thoughts on the state of Revolution rounds in 2023.
What do you like? What do you dislike?

When you look back at this game a year from now, what are you going to remember? Is it going to be those IC conflicts that got you upset? The times you died and got frustrated? The adminhelps, the peanut threads, the ban appeals, the tickets, the Discord drama, the endless arguments about policy and rules and config and the coders and -

NO. IT WON'T BE ANY OF THAT. It will be one thing and one thing alone: FUN. The very reason you play TG, or any other videogame!

PLAYERS WHO MAKE THE ROUNDS LESS FUN...

Hey forumites. I'm planning on running a tabletop game set in SS13 for some friends of mine. While I could just write all this on my own, I thought it would be a fun activity to invite you guys to make up some characters that would populate the station. They can be normal, quirky, or even slightly insane- if it works it works! Just keep in mind that most of these characters will be in the background- most NPCs shouldn't be crazy enough to steal the show whenever they enter the room.

You don't have to...

Character name: N/A
Ban type: Server / Blacklist
Ban length: Permanent
Ban reason: You must be over 18 to play
Time ban was placed: Late 2016 I believe (November/December-ish?)
Server you were playing on when banned: Bagil
Round ID in which ban was placed: N/A
Your side of the story: Okay, so my side of the story is kinda split up into two parts. What led to the ban itself (which is relatively simple), and what led to the blacklist (which is a bit more complicated).
-- What...

What if we had the option to buy fake ID's cards with no access and can not be inserted into id consoles, they are printed with a single name and job that can't be changed after you buy it? (only sec officers can see if its fake by inspecting it like the captain and fake disks)

More homemade or bulky armor, a shield?

I'll come up with some more ideas for it later.

Crag I think you are funny
:lol:

Discord username: Likteer#4031
Ban reason: Harrassing serxule
Time ban was placed: Around the 17th of January
Your side of the story: I was rightfully banned from the discord server, for personally messaging serxule his twitter doxx video, followed by some cryptic bullshit.
The motive does not justify me, but hopefully makes it sound a little less derranged:

I was stuck at home because of a leg injury, bitter and terminally online, overall in a nasty mood.
Someone complains about the guy and shares...

The new chat fancy tgui say has too much latency. It does not receive input before it initialises, giving room for input to be missed between when the say verb gets used and when it appears. This has caused an abnormally large amount of typos on the first word where I miss the first character, or even multiple if the lag is particularly bad. It's frustrating that the lag for the say box to appear is visible.

who else likes gummy worms? :) :bball: :ugeek:

Hi all,

We are considering the possibility of creating a guide to add to the ban appeals forum about headmin reviews.

When its best to request them?
When not to request them?
Why to request them?
How to best request them?
Terminology like upheld, overturned, did not review.
Etc.

Every term is going to be different and we are fancying the idea of creating something that will last and serve as a guideline people can use. Clearly not every thread is going to need a headmin review or headmins weighing in...

ruled that taking a changeling's inert, vestigial brain and placing it in an MMI to see if it had life in it to check if they were a changeling was an exploit.
Exploits implies some sort of flaw or bug in the implementation of the changeling's nature, but this is all working as intended from a coder POV.
What are we supposed to do?

I want to be able to prescribe people stop being a fuckface pills without people getting pedantic about the definition of my job title.

beginning my first serious playthrough of this little gem:

how do I feel about this game?
am I happy?

any tips? (no spoilers please)

The title. There has been shifts where I and my fellow engineers slip into the supermatter (with magboots on!) because I was using the fire extinguisher on it 10 seconds earlier and the sm is back on fire. The ice under the door doesn't melt,(and I can't see it because there is a fire!) and as a result I slippy do dah into a delamming sm. Now I can see how removing the ability to slip on ice with magboots on can cause balance issues with void heretic. So as a solution I propose to make it so you slip but...

I understand the intentions of Asimov++, but with the current state of how forcibly crew aligned most silicons Play. I feel as if default Asimov with its inherent flaws is more conductive to a good story.

LiarGG has been on the admins .txt for some number of months.

This thread is for public review of how they've been going, pending potential promotion to full game admin. As always, this is a time where players are encouraged to offer feedback and comment on how they think they've been going, and whether they should be promoted fully, be removed from the .txt, or have their promotion delayed.

What the title says, what do you think about Chang 'Mr. Chang' Moert (me). I want to become better in the community and i just want some opinions.

After way too long in drafting and with a significant amount of time staring at words until they make sense again, I finally have a draft for the proposed new naming policy that the admin and headmin teams don't hate enough to release publicly for the community to have a look at.

This draft isn't final, and is still open to changes, but is likely pretty close to what we're looking for in the final policy. If you've got any feedback, you can post it here or/and in the policybus thread I'll be putting up...

Birdshot
Based on a legacy station of dreams, virtue, and ambition
Unrivaled in both its complexity and beauty
We got rid of Birdboat once, and evidentially it was a mistake
I shall correct this sin

From the creator of Gammastation and Phobosstation, I bring you a zombified Birdboat, complete with all the latest bells and whistles of a Nanotrasen Space Station. The .dmm is aptly titled Birdshot to remind us all of how we took our best bar-friend and...

it's been TM'd around a month now. could it be rotated to terry or manuel by any chance? it sorta leads to really fast shuttle calls because it's missing a lot of stuff so people can't do things they'd be able to do on one of the main rotation maps (for instance you can't use the gulag). I get using a live server to stress test your map and improve it but hundreds of highpop rounds on an incomplete map is a bit excessive

im sure manuel would test it in a unique way as well with longer round times
