The problem with focusing on "group mining" (which I think is a good idea, but...) is that it basically kills low-pop mining. Oh? There's a whole one Shaft Miner signed up for this shift, when their work is designed for groups of 2-3? Oh? They died in ten minutes because they got swarmed b...

"They didn't do anything wrong, they were just trying to disarm you of your baton and disabler!" Incredible. Tell me you don't actually play the game without telling me you don't play the game. Yeah, wasn't there a ruling a while ago that taking sec equipment, particularly (and specifical...

The issue here is that upon borging, your "job" is not Security Officer - your "job" is Cyborg of whichever model you choose. You may have been a Security Officer before, but you no longer have access to the tools or (usually) the lawset that enables that job, so suck it up and ...

Personally, I find that right now there are straight up too many problems that be solved by energy weapons. Like, almost every antagonist can be completely obliterated by lasers, disablers, or a mix of the two with very few exceptions. If we buff shotguns and increase the number of antagonists with ...

Full support of the ban.

It's run its course already. Get it outta here.

Shotguns are really op if you spend 30 minutes setting up a chem factory. You can make chem darts that 1 shot and explode people. "If you spend a literal half an hour of your round using equipment only one job has access to roundstart to make ammunition for a gun said job has no access to with...

Removing EoC is a terrible idea for LRP so long as antags can murderbone. I.e., this man has a 357+speedloader in his bag, but committed no crimes, well time to let someone get murdered have a good day sir. I don't see a huge problem with how spacelaw stands currently, and changing it to fit MRP se...

While I think the days of validhunters toting sawn-off riot shotguns full of slugs and two-tapping every antagonist they come across were not a great thing, I do think that shotguns have swiftly fallen to the opposite side of the spectrum, where you come across the absurd situation wherein while in ...

If you're in the market for essays rather than books, I finished reading A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf a few days ago. It's a series of six lectures/essays Woolf gave in 1928 about the nature of women and fiction, and it's a stellar feminist work. It has an incredibly elegant way of getting ...

Valorium

On a slightly different subject, I think that the game could certainly benefit from more "small, unchanging team" antagonists, wherein you have a small group of about 3-5 people in a team together that doesn't grow smaller or larger. Right now, the only antagonists that fit this bill are N...

Maybe they're smarter than you. Some of them convinced the community they were over 18 before gettinf caught.

Fair enough.

I don't see why we couldn't just add it as some kind of third variant of Nuclear Operatives - Stealth Mode, War Mode (more TC, advance notice) and ULTRA WAR MODE (even more TC and a few gear additions, advance notice, longer nuke defense). Also I was under the impression that automatic shuttle-calls...

This looks really excellent so far.

I like the idea of being able to use stethoscopes to listen to conversations behind walls. It would give them more functionality than they currently have, and make it so you can actually put something useful in your neck slot. Would have to be an in-hand system kinda like what we have for defibrilla...

Considering how infrequently they're used, some kind of multi-z laser tag arena in maintenance would be really neat, with a similar style to traditional paintball arenas or otherwise. Place a few crates of each type of laser tag gear and people can go wild. Another fun idea would be some portion of ...

RE: Station advancement: Arguably, they can also do implants; they get access to cybernetics at their medical protolathe, but everybody goes to bother the roboticist for implants for some reason. Possibly because medical is usually very busy repairing damaged people, which is a very important job. ...

Valorium

I feel as though I'm being misinterpreted. Right now, Medical has very little in the way of Station Advancement (TM), wherein the work they do improves the station rather than fixing something damaged (i.e. people being murdered brutally in some horrible industrial accident or by their pals). Scienc...

Will these Secret Gateways be available by any means to non-mappers/admins? I know for a fact that at least one codebase would like access to Gateway content for use in ruins, and this change sounds as though it will make it much harder to adapt such. I'm all for the change if it will enable Gateway...

My idea was that something that may be interesting is to make Dorms a set of full-fledged apartments rather than the room-with-closet-and-table set up we have in most stations at the moment. Using the multi-z, we can design it to feel like a two-story apartment building, with small balconies on the ...

Valorium

What do we replace it with then? We justified the removal of nanites by having circuits as a replacement (though the degree to which they actually function as such is a subject of debate), what do we replace not only a significant sub-department but an entire job with? Medical already struggles with...

Valorium

Looks very nice! Aside from Science, what other departments have been properly completed, again? I had an idea in mind to make the Dorms/Recreation Area more interesting if you'd be interested in hearing it.

So Deltarune Chapter 2 is a thing now. Discuss the funny video game about cute animal people beating up random tangentially-computer-related enemies (or not beating them up, if you so choose).

If it's any consolation, being the reinforcements for that round was really fun, and everyone seemed to enjoy it despite the more murdery bent (although given one of the reinforcements was a Russian soldier robot, it probably shouldn't be surprising they went for violence).

Valorium

Throwing in my opinion (I watched the exact round from figuring out Bmon was a heretic to his execution as a ghost), the general impression was that you were very obviously gearing up to go on a murder spree (making tons of blades, getting security armor and comms, beating the tar out of a plasmaman...

Had a families football round, was pretty stellar. Only issue is that there should probably be some protections in place to ensure gangs grow at roughly the same rate, or at least that one gang doesn't grow dramatically faster than another - the admins of that round had to spawn in several ghost rol...

Sounds fun to me. May encourage me to play Campbell every so often.

You might have noticed there's a small coridoor behind Science. This is because the coridoor between Sci and Med is one of the most common spots to become inhabitable, thus locking any latejoiners in Arrivals. This small 2-wide public access coridoor will connect Arrivals directly onto the coridoor...

Maybe make it craftable with some cloth (like you're making a strap for it)? That way we can justify a different sprite.

I mean, I can count the number of times I've seen an Enhanced Interrogation Chamber used in a round on TG both on LRP and MRP on...zero hands, actually. And that's as both a frequent Science and even more frequent Cargo player. I think that if this is something that was obtained after half an hour o...

Not locking alternative ammo behind a massive amount of research would probably work wonders for it being more used and fun

Syndicate Eradication - on another z-level, a large Syndicate installation spawns, with large amounts of Syndicate simplemobs and equipment, with some sort of Syndicate General or Head Operative at the center/end of the installation.

Not even commenting on the nature of the ban - that's not my place and I don't want to give this discussion further reason to be bonked as a peanut/"I bannd" thread - but I think that creativity should be encouraged in general when it comes to these large-scale team antagonist rounds, main...

Valorium

I think whether or not murderbone for hijack is okay on MRP seems beside the point. The point is whether or not murderbone permission is shared with antags you are working with. ie.. If you're a traitor working for a malf AI with active doomsday is it okay? I imagine it depends on if one of your ob...

Valorium

So uh...any insight on the idea itself? Even outside of the Head of Personnel's purview, there's still a few roles that use paperwork extensively or can use paperwork extensively (Curator, Lawyer, Warden even) which would benefit from the database.

Valorium

If the entire crew of the shuttle is actively interfering with the hijack then the traitor can kill them all and it doesn't count as murderboning, because they're just killing to complete their objective. People chilling in the passenger section aren't a threat to the traitor's objective, they may ...

Valorium

Howdy folks! Are you tired of having to rewrite or copy-paste your documents, contracts or otherwise every time you sign up as Curator, Lawyer or the Head of Personnel? Are you lacking ideas or motivation when trying to come up with the legalese for a new document on the spot? Do you wish it could b...

It seems like the best compromise is to just make Acting Captains incapable of being antags. Just change the config so heads are selected before antags just for head roles, then check if there's a captain registered, then whoever gets auto-promoted is removed from the antagonist pool. If that's poss...

That would probably be easily manipulated, though - say someone rolls traitor, buys a syndicate briefcase of cash for a whopping 1 TC and offers to buy a painting off of someone for 5,000 credits - which would be hard to turn down if I were in the market to sell my painting. That'd kinda upset the m...

Bit late to this end, but I like the ideas posited about smaller, non-conversion cult with normal, if more difficult objectives. Currently, TG has three "limited team" antagonists, only two of which really count and only two of which ever show up. We have Fugitives/Hunters, Nuke Ops and Ab...
