/tg/Station 13

I've lost my passion for the game a while ago. Gimme some tips on how you have/would gotten yourself to enjoy the game again.

Had this idea cooking for while, and I have a feeling it could add some nice depth to the game. If you are unfamiliar with the idea of RPG stats, the concept is in essence numbers that reveal something about your character and make you better or more effective in things relating to that stat. Examples include DnD's charisma, or the Fallout Franchise's luck. Alot of SS13 servers have a mechanic like this as well.

Where my vision differs, there is no character creator element to this where you get to choose...

Roleplaying isn't (or at least it shouldn't be) having a polite conversation with someone. What happened to paranoia? Are people not comfortable hating or disliking someone in character but not out of character?
People don't want to offend others, people don't want to make people dislike them OCC. Whenever one person is trying to kill another person they usually try to be funny to show that out of character they are not serious and don't dislike you. This sucks for immersion. The MRP rules certainly aren't...

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...

This thread is meant to contain all gameplay-related feedback pertaining to the new Midround Antagonist, The Paradox Clone . This feature is not fully merged yet (as of Dec/27/2022), so please submit any technical bugs/glitches/concerns to the comments of the Github PR found at:

Otherwise, any policy concerns, gameplay feedback, or general commentary about how this antagonist performs in-game should be done in this forums thread. Please keep criticism as constructive as possible.

So due to the numerous complaints of players being toxic and salty because they were killed by a traitor in low pop rounds and admins being forced to break the rules to their own unfair advantage because they don't want to be killed on said low pop rounds, why not just get rid of antags all together on populations less than say 10-20 players?
This would ensure nobody gets hurt or removed from the rounds and it also ensures there's no conflict or excitement on the servers.

If people are getting noted,...

seriously like if we had poly powered by chat gpt or an ai it would be funny seeing people get confused if poly is another human or not

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...

Clean up space law and make it policy on MRP only. Create a new Head of Staff called Judge who's sole purpose is hearing trials and authorizing re-education . Make security prove in court that the person they caught was committing the crime. During red alert, martial law is declared, and sec doesn't need trials to incarcerate, but its expected that an actual emergency should be happening for the station to be on red alert. This might give admins a bit more work but overall I think this would greatly...

That's it. That's the whole idea.

Still fits in security belts and sec clothing external storage.

What I am suggesting is a variation on Cult, that would be different in 2 distinct ways.
1. This cult would not have access to soulstones or cult constructs. Instead, when using a sacrifice on a living or dead crewmember, one of the adjacent cultists who doesn't yet have a holoparasite, or the cultist who is standing closest who does not yet have a holoparasite immediately get one using the ghost of the sacrificed person.
2. This cult would not attempt to summon narsie. Rather they will try to escape. If...

Thought I'd share some thoughts on map design, since I've been viewing a few new map ideas recently that played with pop extremes (skeleton crew).
Future maps should be designed a lot more stacked.
A lot of conflict in this game seems non-locationally relevant to others, and so only validhunters and those nearby really deal with conflict because the rest have no relation to it. Since we originally did not have multi-z, we were forced to make maps that sprawled outwards, but it seems that we can...

I really dont feel like following proper procedure for this ban as procedure for admin notes has not followed for me getting this

What is this what does it mean how do you even exploit using middle click its literary for swapping hands or pointing at things if I have used an exploit why Im I not banned?

thank philip thomas for me doing this was done all from his curiosity and I shift all the blame to them

Heretics very rarely ascend, and when they do it's either in a lowpop round or a round so insanely chaotic that they can sacrifice people in the open without stealth mattering. Most heretics don't use spells until they ascend because having a focus on you is equivalent to running around with a 357 in your belt slot as a traitor - you'd get instantly valided, and the spells aren't good enough to combat all of security and the validhunters that are on your tail.

Terry struggles with 80-90 pop rounds. Most subsystems are slowed significantly, and it becomes extremely obvious. I don't think there's a point in letting Terry reach 90 pop when we have Campbell.

What is talk/type baiting?
Talk/type baiting is the act of baiting someone to open the chat window before stunning/attacking them. An example, The HoS walks over to a station engineer, he asks the station engineer Why did I see you walking around medbay maint? . The station engineer goes to respond by opening the talk menu. As soon as the HoS sees the typing indicator he draws his stun baton and stuns the engineer. This gives the HoS a massive advantage in the fight making the engineer's chances of...

I am a viro player but I feel as if our current system is well lacking to say the least. Therefor I have come up with a solution, presenting Rex's viro rework:
Featuring all new systems, including but not limited to: Combo thresholds, carriers and amputation!

However, I do need some feedback mostly on the crew side mechanics as I have been in the highest spire of the INTERNAL DISCUSSIONS tower of viro for too long to understand the mere peons perspective. On a more serious note I hope this at least sparks some...

If someone you are arresting yells out over common that sec is killing them when they are not, they become valid.

If someone falsely yells sec is beating them, they can be beaten to the point of having blunt wounds.

If they want to cry wolf over comms that sec is treating them unfairly, they can actually face whatever abuse they're falsely accusing sec of just to stir shit.

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.
