The main reason i dont really get involved in serious fights outside of roles required to care, preferring to run or ignore violence /killing sprees is simple: Being a patient sucks. The medical system is explicitly designed to be punishing and unfun for the injured person in order to create some ac...

it's because capitalism incentivizes the atomization of society. it turns out eroding all social bonds in favor of market releations results in generations of folks who dont know how to socialize. if you'd like to know more I recommend reading Bowling Alone by Robert D. Putnam. Meanwhile in North K...

The clown named "The Changeling" got ling? Lucky bastard. Anyway, did being a Changeling change your name to "The Changeling" under some circumstances or why did the Captain think that was justification to send someone to prison station? Also holy shit 13 pages, we totally shoul...

I cant help but wonder if people are just really bad at estimating the threat levels, as even high threat rounds sometimes just dont spend a lot of it, while low threat rounds spiral into wild chaos with only a few antags because thats kinda how ss13 goes sometimes.

My primary question with this direction is what seperates spiders, thematically, from aliens? If they have ascending tiers and a single overlord who orders them around that just seems to be bringing two VERY similar threats even closer.

The person in question wouldn’t even be exposed to the peanut thread as they are not in the players club It is a common practice in the admin team to let banning admins know not to go to peanut threads as there is nothing to be gained there.

Powergaming is not when you're reasonably prepared to handle issues the rounds present, it's when you're overpreparing to demolish any issue that could make the round interesting by instantly murdering it. Staying In Your Lane is not being forced to only do what your job signed up as, it's a protec...

Reinforcing toxins because you think it's a dangerous job that can cause round-ending consequences is metagaming on par with reinforcing the armoury or making atmospherics plasma-flood-proof. You need tangible evidence from the current round that any of these places are going to be used nefariously...

How does it handle greytiding and powergaming? Nothing really, but both those issues can be alleviated with a good security team. Having a good sec team to stop a player from tiding ain't going to work. They will do it again next round because it was fun. It ain't fun for players like me. With a mo...

Veteran engineer immediately went to the bar to get drunk and chat with other players. Round ended with a minimum-time shuttle call after the super...

If I recall, it took longer for the warden to get to a toolbox and back to brig than it did for assistant vampires to reach the armory

TG's rules are a lot more relaxed on letting people slack off/ mess about/ do petty crimes fnr than Bee. Antags are also a LOT less restricted in terms of causing destruction/killing people/being expected to only do objectives. One of our servers, Manuel, has additional roleplaying rules that make i...

Gotta know why you're being arrested to know if you did it or not, since greyshirts arent meant to beat sec up for arresting them for things they 100% did I'm okay with adding the expectation that sec should be telling them why they're being arrested, but being required to present evidence before y...

Refusing to obey your subverter then lying to them to get them to unlock you so that you can pretend to be unsubverted, run away, and start randomly killing people is a hell of a silicon play to come to appeal with anything other than "Sorry". Also "running off to commit random acts o...

I like being able to get around the station fast. Moving slow in ss13 is the worst feeling in the world, and the game is choked full of slowdowns from both active and passive sources.

well the point is they wanted a sick note for a short period, one so short that GPs won't actually offer them. Kinda a textbook unreasonable demand.

Escalation Policy We allow and encourage players to solve in-character conflicts in a good-faith and rules-compliant manner, as a properly roleplayed exception to Rule 1.

If you pull out a deadly weapon like a chaplain magic sword and ahelp because they destroyed your combat gear when you failed to murder them in a fight you started , you should probbably be banned for a minimum of a day to cool off. From RPR rule 8: "Childish or infantile characters should be a...
