Before this conversation continues - What is murderboning? Obviously to make it disallowed it has to be clearly defined so admins can know who to punish and who not to punish.

Can I choose a gun? For myself or the cat/dog girls. Either one works.

Saving people from death should take more effort than it does now. Cloning should be an involved process, and revival pods seem to be an easy get-out-of-jail free card. I think people should be more resilient in the face of damage (i.e. can survive longer in crit), but we need a medical rework in g...

To what extent does the leniency for wiz and clowns and such extend? Can you have OOC references in your name?

silicon mains If somebody mains any science-related areas to the point of never playing any non-science role, they should be avoided at all costs.

we have gone too far this time and there is no turning back

We can port Baymed once we have more competent medical players. The other day I had three people in medical all manage to fuck up revival surgery after I gave them step by step instructions on what to do. If we add baymed, a broken limb would just last the whole shift to the point where it’s easier ...

So why exactly are these cool sci-fi aliens using Sol/Common names for stellar objects as part of their own cultural naming scheme, anyway? I assume there must be a good reason why they're happy to use one kind of Earthly naming convention but using normal ones is out of the question, besides "...

The current policy is it doesn’t matter. I believe it should stay this way considering there really isn’t any way for a silicon to stop self harm. Prisoner in perma punching themself if you won’t let them go? Nothing you would be able to do but open the door for them. It would be pretty cancerous fo...

What stops someone from lying about what they said ingame to an admin. Does the admin just have to go through google translate everytime they are questioning someone who speaks in another language?

It is impossible to tell how the vote would have gone without those options. See https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=20294&start=100#p453892 discussion chain https://tgstation13.org/tgdb/irvpolltally.php?id=204&token=HN7Ylt7hmy%2FuxflKXFxvN8hyvNl%2FmPHXUcjUNnIqHhaEA66ueFg...

I do feel it’s a bit too excessive right now, but the high speed also allows for things to be more fast paced. IMO it should be decreased slightly for combat reasons. I also feel something should be done with the movement+ items, with some resulting in ludicrous speeds (flagellent, stimpacks) to the...

You already vote on ALL of them so it's easy to see what it would be without it IF you have the dataset (which only some people have) This doesn't fix the vote, and you can see what it would be without the data, which is a felinid win. Ok. Let me explain this to you. With IRV polls you order your c...

I like how when catpeople win by 6 votes, there is no compromise whatsoever. But when removal wins by 60 votes, catpeople don't even fucking get removed. I'm still waiting for the headmins to admit they're biased assholes who have nobody's will in mind but their own. What a fucking embarrassment. C...

If this is a congestion issue, why is it that felinids (the most popular nonhuman race) would be removed to make room when you could instead remove, for instance, flypeople?

Good point, we should get rid of both of them

Still my greatest greivance is that the poll options were kinda weird. Like theres two removal options with exceptions, but I just wanted hard removal. Since the only hard removal options included adding two races I don’t care about, I was forced to choose between the two. There was a choice for ju...

Make a decision from this poll instead of making us go through another two weeks of voting because some people disagree with the wording. This is not an issue with the wording of the poll. The problem is that the poll is slanted toward removing felinids because it motivates the voter with the promi...

I like to pretend we maintain some low level of immersion, and the last time I heard someone unironically use the term 'ur' or 'lol' was in high school, and as much as it seems so, NTS13 is a research station and not a school for the mentally handicapped.

Antags can't do whatever they want and this usually is restricted to OOC offenses like 4th wall breaking, metacomming, being creepy enough to weird people out OOCly, etc. Suiciding with the intent to screw people OOCly, to me at least, is equivalent to those offenses even though the explicit action...

i swear we were just talking about this a month or two ago, or something related.. antags are antags and lone antags can do what they want, suiciding as wiz has never been punishable and shouldn't be EDIT: it was to do with something in the admin forums what I was remembering - a conflict in verdic...

Suiciding as an important role at round start is an established bannable offence via headmin decision, perhaps that's why. Of course, I've yet to witness such an event occuring considering how common the suicide wizard theme is. I thought that only applied to heads. The rules even say “Lone antagon...

Why is it bannable? They are choosing to do what they want to as a lone antag, it’s not their fault that wizard is such a shitty mode that it relies entirely upon one person

PKPenguin321 wrote:honestly i dunno why all these races need to have weird naming schemes in the first place

Probably to be a bit more unique and also to be more easily identifiable to silicons.

One problem I have with them as a silicon is that it’s a tiny cosmetic detail you have to always be looking for that can even be covered up by clothes or hairstyles. There are some angles where it’s near impossible to tell if they are a catperson or not and yet have to treat them differently from a ...

I mean you could argue the "effectively purged" comment also applies here. A purged silicon has no laws but has to protect and obey any superior silicons they are slaved to (Purged cyborgs have to obey their purged AIs). In this instance you were a silicon who had to protect and obey anoth...

Its possible the "They have proven again and again that they have no even read silicon policy or have failed to understand it" are all from that one interaction KangTut had with you. This makes sense considering you did kinda break 3 of your 4 laws without any valid reason to do so.

Extended rounds provide an actual chance to RP. Conflict is derived from natural situations and differences in personality, not an arbitrary "antag" status you have applied roundstart. A chance to RP what exactly? There is no conflict to drive RP. It would just be some boring round where ...

none of you have actually given any reasons why more extended like rounds are bad Most fun comes from conflict.

I have only played in a round with this mode 2-3 times. In all the rounds I played with it I never once figured out it was assimilation until the round ended. It was just extended for me.

So are these enforced with the rules? I have definitely been bwoinked for at least one thing this list says is fine.

If battery is a problem with the RCD it could be given a function to drain power like a ninja would.

No. The argument is that this makes surgery both more fun and more realistic. How does it make it more fun for either of the two people involved in surgery? I get it being more realistic, but how is it more fun? Two people sit silently at their computers doing nothing. One guy is probably alt tabbe...

You can refer to past rounds but you can’t act on actions done in the past.

Silicon policy already says NPCs (Non-player characters) are nonhuman so I assume catatonics are already covered under that considering it’s a character not controlled by a player.

I can’t event remember. I think I saw it pop up on YouTube and watched a couple videos from BlackPantsLegion until I eventually decided to download it.

From what I saw looking through the logs, the AI was still Asimov at that time. Deitus was made non human later and the AI was purged after that but when Deitus was attacked it seems that the AI was still Asimov
