/tg/Station 13

Cheimon

A simulation of the workplace of the future: run by overbearing assholes, staffed by rabid idiots, under attack from the ridiculous and the puny, and always something better escaped from than lived in. It is a unique game that, when properly populated, provides an experience it's hard to get elsewhe...

The whole point of the water-based mopping system is to create an interesting non-antagonist conflict within the round. The janitor player has to make the distinction between when using water is and isn't appropriate. A lot of the fun of playing it is slipping people up, in an inconvenient but ultim...

They're like negros except they're green, so we can do all the old stereotypes whilst being immune to cries of racism.

Like the least lovely mongol types.

I mean, in theory with a proper set up an IT guy could become a sort of AI replacement. You could certainly set one up with an advanced camera console if you could somehow ensure it wouldn't just be used for validhunting, and you could even give them advanced door hacking tools. A role that was base...

Securitrons have infinite power, medbots have infinite medicine, cleanbots have infinite soap. Why shouldn't floorbots have infinite tiles?

Cheimon

This is pretty good so far. As shit as HG's "consultation process" is, the station is slightly better without them.

Cheimon

But Duke isn't chewing bubblegum. He's specifically turned it up to 11 because he's run out of it.

Cheimon

Unsyncing borgs when you have no reason to think the AI is rogue removes them from normal AI oversight. That means the crew is much more vulnerable to the cyborgs being subverted at some other point (by emag or by a stolen cyborg upload), and nobody ever noticing it. It also means that the AI has no...

Cheimon

By all means add fictional companies, but don't give them meme names like kushmaster. That would be as silly as having a gun called fk-69 (get it, because lol sex).

Cheimon

If the shit's hit the fan to point where the chain of command has collapsed absolutely no one in game is going to be in a position to challenge you executing capital criminal. Space law doesn't apply in complete cluster fucks, I can't remember if I added something that explicitly stated that or if ...

An overlay for clone damage might work well, covering slimes, the abductor gun, and cloning.

I would have mentioned fire, but that's already here.

The problem with money is always that botany can shit out 10s of thousands of credits for very little effort via the money tree. I assume it goes without saying that if cash was ever important, scarcity would be coded in. Either money tree cash wouldn't be worth anything or it'd just be removed, th...

Cheimon

Yeah, and it sure as hell isn't "your job" to make evacuation dangerous. The botanist, like the janitor, treads a fine line between help and hindrance.

Cheimon

I like to take the cuffs off prisoners without batoning them first. The friendly ones appreciate it, and if the non-friendly ones try and disarm me, I stun them then charge them with assault on an officer and resisting arrest. There are times when this is the right thing to do, but I always take ca...

Cheimon

I wouldn't call it shitty as much as a slightly shit but in the circumstances necessary enough suggestion to be valid. A bit shit like the now mandatory cuffs in the sec-belts that nobody uses because zip-ties are a direct upgrade and cuffs are a personal safety liability but its nice to know they ...

Cheimon

It's great fun to play stockbroker with other players, discussing what you're trading and telling each other what's going well. As an update, excellent stuff. Four consoles is probably a bit over the top, given that if you really want, multiple people can use the same one. The other issue is that if...

Just make the lawyer cancelling the devil's contract bind their soul instead to the corporation -giving them psuedo antag like abductees, with objectives to do corporate things/slave to the company/etc. The soul is already bound to the corporation. Being hit with your employment contract just remin...

Cheimon

It wasn't snuck in, it was open for weeks. Secborgs are cancer. How? Or at least how are they worse than security officers? People don't like that they require different items to stun, can't be pushed over, and have essentially infinite charged stun batons and tasers. It makes them a solid counter ...

Cheimon

I mean, would it be that silly? Zero-tolerance is one thing, but enforcing an environment where racism is discouraged makes sense for lots of other servers. It never adds anything to the game and it makes interactions less enjoyable when it gets real. In a sense I'm glad lizards were introduced beca...

Cheimon

Honestly, it's just a lot less laggy. Singulo sometimes creates a lot of lag, and sometimes doesn't, it depends on the server revision and it fluctuates, even if it shouldn't. Fixes made to stop it lagging end up not working a few months later. Having tesla as the alternative that won't fuck up the ...

Cheimon

Really poor names are valid for admin editing, baiting people using any tactic is still baiting and baiting is still bannable. Ignore them, seeing as they do it for the reactions, like the adults you all claim to be Yeah, but the point is that ignoring somebody who's doing things for attention just...

Cheimon

It already had a big banner saying THIS ISN'T SERVER RULES but that wasn't enough, apparently.

Cheimon

To be honest I think many modes seem to fit the universe only tangentially. There's one big cluster of "syndicate" which is traitor/doubles/changeling/nuke, but the rest are all pretty much stand alone and don't interact with each other. Revolutions, gangs, shadowlings, blobs, Hand of God,...

ZERO POINTS (DON'T DO THIS): - Touching the wiki page for you-know-what Umm.. I honestly don't know what myself? Probably a good idea to clarify for people? Unless you just meant it as a joke. The rules page. I think some kind of guidelines for security to follow would be good for the new red shirt...

Cheimon

If you want an economy that's worth caring about, add departmental budgets for requisitioning lots of different types of equipment. Make that how you choose what different departments do each round, like what engine to set up, what armaments to shoot traitors with, what animals to kill and eat, that...

Cheimon

So, why does it hurt the rules? There was always a big banner across the top, saying it was a "roleplay suggestion". Given we're a medium roleplay server, it's fine to have a page about how you might play a role without forcing you into it. I just think it's bizarre. What is this supposed ...

Cheimon

All the artwork Kor posts is so damn good! I really thought borgs looked a bit stupid but now that I've seen these pictures I'm no longer convinced.

Cheimon

Wasn't SS13 only developed in the first place because someone leaked the closed source code?

Anyway, uhh, neat. Bit of a dick move, but hopefully people will benefit from it in general.

Cheimon

I honestly don't understand where things have moved to now; I didn't get to play during the time of no AI and I haven't played since. I'd like to see us move further away from the Asimov mindset such as going to something like: Do no harm. Stop currently occurring harm. Assist humans. That's a dece...

3: Lone wolf is dead wolf. Stay with your team mates, you're not rambo.. Objection. In stealth, being alone is key. Groups are inherently suspicious because of the nature of gangs, cults, and revolutions. In open battle, being alone will get you tar-pitted and killed. Forming a group of at least 3 ...

So you know that moment when Homer Simpson get taken to hell, a circle opens up, and the devil kicks him into it? Something like that, which kills but takes a short timer, would be a neat archdemon power. As it is, unlimited wealth is good so long as it can produce all the metals. They are very valu...

Cheimon

So, laws aren't in numbered priority, either. Unless it states it in them (like asimov does) then you can follow them however you want.

Cheimon

Rename charcoal to Dylovene. Charcoal is, in real life, ingested to absorb certain very specific poisons. In the stomach.

Not fucking injected into the bloodstream, that would literally kill someone quite quickly. Call it Dylovene, because the charcoal in game is fictional.

Cheimon

The biggest problem with a drugs bust is that you can't feasibly remove the source of the drugs (hydroponics/chem) without negatively affecting way too much, so all you end up doing is confiscating functionally infinite amounts of the same material. It doesn't cost anything to make, so it's never go...

Cheimon

There is also the point that a lawset which allows both inaction and action will always have players shift towards action over time: sitting on your hands is boring, and players aren't going to be motivated to do it once they've experienced it a few times.

Cheimon

It's just an introduction into the sort of things security might reasonably care about, and the sort of times that are reasonable (5-10 minutes, no more, or perma). Space Law is largely just a way to contain people that are purposefully annoying other people for no particular reason. If you're follo...

Cheimon

it'd be neat if there was a little tab at the bottom that let you trade 20 tc for unique things instead of a admin using var's to give you a timestop spell, you could use 20 tc to buy a pocket watch than when activated, stopped time. or instead of asking a admin for a central command annoucement, y...

Cheimon

There just aren't that many good maps. There's no real consistency between loot/death/fun expectations, it takes a lot of players away from the station, and it's just a bit of a weird concept. Having a clear 'other' area adjacent to the station isn't fundamentally problematic, that's what the mining...

Cheimon

fun tip: if you've prayed like 2-3 times and didn't get a response, you're probably not going to get what you want. We've had people pray every 30 seconds like clockwork for their trade upwards of eight or nine times before someone tells them flat out no. Admins can get really busy really quickly a...

Cheimon

Sort of a nerf to slaughter demons as well who can't jaunt out of dried blood. I like it I hadn't considered slaughter demons, but while this nerfs in some ways, it buffs in others. Blood pools being slippery would allow demons to beat someone until a pool of blood forms below them, eat that person...

I'm saying the Soyuz rockets aren't outrageously different, yeah.

Honestly I've really enjoyed this. I played AI a lot before, and I probably will again, but it's great seeing that lack of knowledge ratcheted up again. It's not that an AI is impossible to have, but our currently designed AI is too much built for harmyelling, and has little to do otherwise.

Every astronaut since 2011 seems fine with it.

Faint-hearted revolutionaries who baulk at the idea of killing the Chief Medical Officer. The CMO is the epitome of what is wrong with Nanotrasen: they are a worthless bureaucrat, existing only to promote licentiousness and decay, they ignore their staff, they have no real tasks of their own, they d...

Cheimon

So long as you know the name of the camera you want, it's fine. Tap the first letter in the name ('x' for xenobiology, or whatever) and then tap it until it reaches the one wanted, or scroll and click. Easy. Simple. Hope to god it's not 'upgraded' to something more clunky for the sake of looks.

Cheimon

Monkey mode would be a lot more entertaining if the game's monkeys were actually chimps. Chimpanzees are noticeably stronger than humans, and would tear the shit out of spacemen.
