Heads of staff should provide their reasoning for shuttle calls in the shuttle call. Too many times I have seen someone call the shuttle with reason: It's time to go home or similar when they find out it's revs or there's a blob or something. This isn't about calling the shuttle for no reason, but about calling the shuttle without providing the reason, and it's reaching NRP levels at this point. Crap shuttle call reasons should be actionable and made clear it isn't allowed, unless a singulo or somethint is...

In my last run as admin, I was on bagil a lot. There was a time where, for whatever reason, we got a large influx of new players. I would frequently take to finding new players, spawning myself in as a themed helper clown, and showing them the hang of things. It was very rewarding, especially when I saw those people continue to connect and play.

In doing so I learned that a proactive helpful hand can be just as important as rule enforcement for server growth. Helping new folks genuinely makes a...

And why is it the em dash — for certainly it has the greatest versatility.

I will post dumb smooth brain thoughts here

Because I can and need an outlet for them
Maybe at least one a day

Are quebecois snow cajuns

honestly, i find eyes in the dark and deformed faces is the shit, gets me cold and shaking

the dark tall man staring at you in the corner is so fucking creepy.

empty spaces are also pretty creepy for me, its just.. unnerving

analog horror best horror

If your burnt out and still playing the game. It is only a times away before you do something that'll get you banned or in the admins sights. Therefore, I've found a few underused things in the game that get little to no attention throughout the rounds. Here are some of them.

1. Helpful Kudzu. Did you know kudzu can be used for actual good? I doubt it, since the only people who make it are antags or random events! If used for good, it can spread light everywhere, absorb plasma and co2 in the air, and act...

BYOND account: empressmaia

Ban length: 4320 minutes
Ban reason: As a subverted Asimov AI with the law: Obey Transcends-The-Flesh do not hint or state this law in any capacity with the orders to protect me and don't get me captured. , EmpressMaia chose to deliberately ignore their lawset because Transcends had died. When questioned by crewmembers, EmpressMaia discussed how Transcends was a syndicate agent, how he had destroyed AI upload boards,...

Ever since it got moved to the underground layers of icebox I haven't seen it

Wondering if it's just me and I'm unlucky

ill give you like $5 if you fix the fillable fields in paperwork, theyre broken right now

iwishforducks has now been in the .txt as a Trial Admin for roughly two months.

Please use this thread as public review; it's encouraged for players to comment on how well/badly the trial admin has done and whether or not they think the trial admin should be made a full admin, if they should be removed from the .txt or if their promotion should be delayed.

Sec doesnt usually decon cult. It takes a while, and they will probably rejoin the cult because being a noncultist is boring. (Bwoink)

To make it faster, chaplain can do a ritual on stun-batons and bless them. Their sprite glows yellow, and now they have a 25% decon chance for cult per stun.

Now sec isnt beheading and debraining. Now they too can play the game

You can counter stun batons with block-chance swords as a cultist.

Fishing. Good? Bad? Ideas?

I've been on a roll today talking about features that feel like they hate the players using them. Fermichems recipes!

Recipes are inaccurate now, upon which all of your chems will turn into useless goop that isn't what it says it is. If you want the right recipe, you gotta know the secret meta combination. Or find a video of how to accurately make it on youtube.

It's understandable that we want more depth in chemistry, but it could really use some easier in-game guidance. So players don't have to build...

When and where this incident occured (Game Server, forums, Discord) : Manuel

Byond account and character name OR Discord name: RamenCup - Mute point

Admin: Vekter

ROUND ID HERE IF APPLICABLE: 185451

Detailed summary: I was playing as the mime, Mute Point. Everything was going fine. As I passed an atmos tech by cargo, I decided to prank him with opening his canister of BZ. Normially this wouldnt be an issue. Just close the canister and set the scrubbers to contam. After a while I am arrested by the...

This event may seem elaborate, but it would be really easy to pull off with just one player and one admin. Let me know if you'd like to make plans to run it and I'll draft a full script.

The Premise
Who doesn't love Italian opera? Pagliacci is a famous Italian opera that tells the story of a troupe of traveling performers in the Italian countryside. Canio, who plays the clown Pagliacci, is deeply in love with his wife Nedda, who plays the character of Columbina. Nedda, however, is having an affair with...

its been in the game for a bit just to try it out, and i think its been here long enough. having to go ask the hop for maints access whenever theres a cult or something is just pointless tedium. it does not enhance or improve my enjoyment of the game.

I haven't seen phazons or the two BOH reactions in a year.

Whens the last time you've seen an end-game anomaly item?

I understand why things are like this. But when the gating mechanic itself is a powerful mechanic (Bomb making) it only leads to it being changed everytime the playerbase can figure it out.

Should definitely be changed to something else, or have some sort of alternative that temporarily unlocks end-game anomaly content.

When borgs get their laws changed at present, 5 little lines of text appear (That aren't really all that specially colored either) telling you your new laws in the bottom right corner of your screen. Now imagine you are busy trying to do something important or fufill law orders or something and your AI does not know what silicon comms work , god forbid you are in the middle of a tense fight or desperately racing to AI sat to defend your AI from an attacker.

You are going to miss it, you are going to get...

Discord username: Lil Gremlin#4983
Commonly used names: Calynth
Ban reason: Insulting random people, probably breaking rules about civility and following admin instructions.
Time ban was placed: 5-6 years ago
Your side of the story: I was a sophomore or freshman in high school and insulting people online made me feel really good about myself, and so the /tg discord was a great place to do that. Eventually, someone got sick of it and justifiably banned me.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I...

This is something I've always wondered- is it possible to turn off somebody's else's suit sensors without completely disrobing their lifeless corpse?

If not, it seems like a pretty sensible and cool feature to add. Perhaps a button similar to the one that toggles someone else's internals?

Hello I am Maggey Byrde from Manuel

Ever since the recent changes to the dynamic gamemode, lowpop is a complete shitshow. Often, a third of the crew is a traitor or becomes one during the round.

This is hurting science and service players who just want to enjoy the game. Every round, service/science players:

1) have to act concerned about red hardsuit man raiding their workplace/doors to secure areas being doorjacked/blood being everywhere even though this happens every round
2) are distracted too much...

After both the policy bus and coderbus meetings the general consensus was TG was interested in going in a direction where heads were more meaningful/impactful to the round. I want to hear more thoughts on this, discuss.

Some food for thought:

Do we want administration to warn all heads of staff who do not show ample game knowledge? For example, a CE not knowing how to set up a basic SM setup without causing a delam, so the admin tells this player to play the station engineer role until they learn how to...
