You can take slime extracts from player-controlled slimes (via surgery or the slime processor): perhaps you could put those in a debrained human body (that is to say, the extract takes the place of the brain) and clone it to make a slime-person?

TheNightingale

I like this idea. It'd be great to link it to other science departments - Toxins can make bombs to clear the 'anomalyroid', R&D can deconstruct the known objects found, Robotics can... do whatever Robotics does; and the Experi-mentor can take the 'strange objects' and do things with them. At the...

Cadence still couldn't think of a plan - and apparently neither could the other operative. She walked over to the reading room for inspiration - 'Nuclear Disk and You - Operatives 101' is good for that - and, suddenly, inspiration appeared. The card of a pAI lay on the table, beeping softly. She pi...

TheNightingale

It's quite alright. Your antag play through the rest of the round was tactically genius - the AI laws were a nice touch, if a little excessive.

TheNightingale

Responsible for what is quite possibly the best round I have ever played. 175% approval rating from me.

TheNightingale

It's long. Your name is Cadence Meme, and you are not a nuclear operative. No, today, you are the Research Director. You arrive, and quickly get to work on researching things. R&D is your speciality this shift, and you do it well. Having deconstructed all you could, you make yourself an APLU Rip...

Coravin was a traitor, and Cerryl didn't last long after HBL joined.
One of these days, I'll succeed in my nefarious plans.

Coincidentally, that's the same amount that a lethal injection syringe holds. Empty it, then refill it with blackpowder.

How do you plan on getting 200u Calomel into someone?

There are some good ones in the 'RandomZLevels' (_maps/RandomZLevels) folder. Maybe we can have those?

The 'challenge' one has infinite emitters that fire at the spawn location exit

That looks like it. I'll take it as a sign: I need to make a botany map. Plant bags everywhere.

If you're a chick, haven't you already been layed? ... sorry. Back on topic; I'm slightly less concerned that you're going to turn into a power-hungry dictator now.

TheNightingale

I still wear the beret, but my light fetish requires me to have maximum luminosity at all times, that I might shine like the sun.
(PDA, taser seclite, helmet seclite and pocket seclite achieve this quite well.)

TheNightingale

The downside is that you're weak to EMPs, you can't heal yourself with standard medicine (so every M.D. ever will look at you in confusion when bruise packs fail), and that it takes a fair bit of effort and metal to fully augment someone.

TheNightingale

Drones are kind of sad to play, just as an aside, because they have no metal/glass synthesizers. Drones always end up fighting over metal and taking it when the crew needs it. If the crew needs it and you're taking it, you're interfering. As a drone on a high-population server (where metal and glas...

It's alright, I'm sure it was just an honest mistake. He thought I was intentionally sabotaging cryo, and so gave me the worst punishment possible as per Space Law - the (inescapable) gulag.

The backup notepad file is the same - a plant bag. I guess I've turned my month-long project into a satchel for ambrosia deus.

Loading the file itself whilst another map is open (which usually works) just pops open an error 'unable to read'; closing everything and loading the recent environments works, however. And... OK.

TheNightingale

R&D already has quite a few shiny toys (especially for Security - advanced energy guns, telescopic shields, stun revolvers, loyalty pins, implants, NVSecs...). I'd suggest giving them to another department to make: perhaps a crate of {generic camera part 1} orderable from Cargo, which need {gene...

http://prntscr.com/6m1r15 I've been making a map for a while now (it's awful, but that's besides the point), and I've come across yet another unexpected error. This time, I can't even open the file or its backup. I don't have this problem with the other maps; just this particular one (and its identi...

They don't affect space wind; you'll still be dragged towards a breach (and then into space), even while they're active.

-chitter chitter-
I hope you're not leaving. You're the only other person on Basil who actually likes drones.

TheNightingale

I'm rather fond of this change (or I will be, once it applies to berets...). Taking on a lone Officer as an antagonist shouldn't just be stunprod-cablecuff-strip-toolbox, or revolver spamclicking; I believe it should require more preparation than that. Now, if you want to assassinate Security (as we...

TheNightingale

They're micronanopicocameras inside the security badge on the front. Like a true officer, you mount your seclite behind your ear, á la Bay.

(They don't have to have sprites, but helmets, berets and caps should have the same level of functionality: they're personal preference which to use.)

TheNightingale

That's correct, yes. Taking off your robe won't make him stop, either. It's a combination of workplace speciesism and a strong hatred of the SWF.
I'm not sure if wearing fake wizard robes counts, or if they have to be real.

Loyalty implants do more than show up on SecHUDs. They lower Beepsky's threat level towards you, like an agent card. Taken from the code: else if(threatlevel >= 4) target = C oldtarget_name = C.name speak("Level [threatlevel] infraction alert!") If your threat level is four or above (>= 4)...

TheNightingale

How would this interact with people who change suits?

Let's say I put my suit sensors to maximum, then I take my suit off, put it in a locker, take a different suit out, and put the new suit's sensors on as well. Will there be lots of Unknowns on the consoles?

TheNightingale

Security berets (including the Warden's and Head of Security's, and the ones from Security uniform crates) should have seclite and camera slots, like helmets do. They don't have to start with cameras attached; an officer can always take the one off their starting helmet to attach to the infinitely m...

The x-ray implant and thermal implant have the same requirements, and the x-ray does everything the thermal does and more. X-ray implants mean Genetics is reduced to hulk, cold resistance and telekinesis, and nobody likes hulk anyway. It's nice that you're giving a way for people to legitimately obt...

i've read the OP several times and i still don't understand what the fuck In R&D, many items can be deconstructed for tech levels. A flamethrower has Combat 1, Plasma 1, for example. An energy sword has Magnets 3 and Syndicate 4. In the code, "OriginTech" refers to these tech levels. ...

AN0n3 says lead administration has two parts: that of managing the community and admins, and that of determining policy and handling appeals and FNR. His plan is to take over physical server duties ('Technical Host'), as well as managing community and admins. Headmins would retain their current head...

TheNightingale

Oranges, that sounds like a rather good idea. The technical host would physically manage the server (that is to say, SoS's current duties) - who would manage the headmin triumvirate? Or would they manage themselves? Of the headmins, who would handle community management and admin oversight, and who ...

Nobody's saying you'll turn into goat dictator Hitler. Possibly goat dictator Stalin or goat dictator Mao, but you don't seem the Hitler type.

TheNightingale

Of course. Ikarrus has said he doesn't want to be the host; and nobody is going to force him, obviously. I think I've got this right: correct me if these are wrong. Previous hierarchy: SoS -- -- Headmins Admins Trialmins Users Current hierarchy: An0n3, with SoS maintaining the server -- -- Headmins ...

TheNightingale

Sharing more responsibilities among the headmins doesn't change anything. It was the thing we were supposed to be doing leading up to this entire conversation. You can see how it already didn't work. That system already failed. Whilst it's true that you're currently the only one able to administrat...

TheNightingale

I don't think An0n3 is saying he's going to be the only administrative host, Aden. He's simply filling the gap until a triumvirate of headmins/administrative hosts can be established. The community can and will take time to deliberate, but for now, we do need someone to take charge. Since SoS nomina...

TheNightingale

For now, somebody that isn't SoS (I have nothing against you personally, but that seems to be the general consensus) needs to control the server, whilst SoS runs the server (i.e. the big machines and the bills). This person is An0n3. When everything settles down and Ikarrus returns from his holiday,...

I was banned for a round for throwing a sulfuric acid grenade into Cargo's lagpocalyptic - is that a word? - trash pile room. One of them walked in just as I threw it.

Oh, well.

I'm just reposting what was said on singulo, which is hardly the most reliable of sources. Naturally, most of it was fabricated.

Would anyone care to transcribe and post the roundtable logs after it finishes?
