Another of the new crowd that gives me bright, fluffy hope for the future of the admin team. Good attitude, good ethic, willing to do the stuff.

Hibbles

First draft pick for the season, John. Real A+ Bagilmin who does a lot of 'passing' in the 'pocket' on the side of you know what I mean. She can do some big time football.

Hibbles

There's this server we run called 'Bagil', 'Basil', or just 'server two', Kor. It's a magical land where everybody is really good at the game, actually roleplays in a creative and constructive manner, there's a shared code of respect IC and OOC, and rounds are at a more mature, relaxed pace. Should ...

Hibbles

One of the new Bagilmins we're making do all the work, and they're doing a fine job so far. Great attitude, helping to reassure that we'll keep this modern trend of 'admins are on speaking terms with each other, even if it's memes' going.

Hibbles

Mapping issue detected; the HoS office doesn't have proper access set, it should have, like, whatever the HoS level is. As of now, the HoS can't access their own door.

Hibbles

I don't have actual statistics, but it's relatively rare to see since everybody knows it's bad, and you'll be banned for it. Or maybe the actual warning on the thing. Or people wanting to be Heads just don't want to do it often. I disagree with this, don't think people who suicide as Heads, in our c...

Hibbles

I'll tell Revheads specifically to at least convert a few other dudes even if they don't feel like it. That's one where it's super clear, and super easy to see whether it's being done. And super easy to see what should be done about it. Heck, if they even convert one person who's hype for revs, I co...

Hibbles

Also to answer earlier questions, there's a variable in your player client file info thing that determines what direction the world is for you. If you flip it, then you see every tile flipped, and the whole map etc. It is EXTREMELY disorienting to the point where I had headaches trying to navigate i...

Hibbles

We just tried the 'Heads and Sec are war criminals and the losers get reinforced by a commando team' event on Bagil. It was like RP Rev and regular kill-y Rev. Everybody died, the casualties were enormous. It was abject, bloody chaos, nobody was quite sure who to trust. One of the war criminals was ...

Hibbles

We need an in-game vote or something.

Hibbles

I get really nervous somebody will spot me when I manifest into the round to mess with laws for an event, give the crew a pity shuttle call, etc. There's a button that makes you invisible for such things but I'm worried a random player will see me for half a second, even though it doesn't matter. Th...

Hibbles

I think it was an unwritten rule/open secret of the team that a lot of us just avoided that place out of habit. The response times for it were a lot lower than, say, ban appeals or admin complaint threads. I am a little uncomfortable with 'let's allow more grief and more things to be Gotten Away Wit...

Hibbles

Tbh it is a double standard, because admins are different from players in some ways. Not as in deserving more respect or Better People, but as in. Being able to do some things a player can't do. I've always felt that's part of the point. If the problem is more the lack of explaining and respect in m...

Hibbles

i approve this if you remain on post approval, too. I've learned nothing more than I've learned how to offload our work on the newer admins.

Hibbles

Sorry it took a few days to get to this. It was definitely a hyper-excessive ban. I came up with a random large number threat to try and get SAC to be reasonable. And well, then things happened. There's no reason to ride out the full ban, though, tbh. Especially since it's been so long. Appeal is ap...

Hibbles

You too can help prevent potentially unwanted ERT-fires! But how would I, a mere pleb player who owes everything I have to the true glory and order of the ADMIN Administration and its human-alien hybrids, possibly do this, HBL? Speak up when you see one, post-round or something, in a reasonable way....

Hibbles

Threads with this argument have always started moot, no reason to change it now. The eternal struggle between HOW DARE YOU LEAVE SPACE FOR HUMAN INTERPRETATION IN THE RULES I DEMAND YOU CITE ME BYLINES FOR YOUR DECISIONS ADMINS I PAY YOUR SALARY, and its direct and natural consequence, HOW DARE YOU ...

Hibbles

The number given for bans is in minutes.1440 is one day. It's how we teach admins basic math.

Hibbles

From what I recall, people who BoH the station tend to get it a lot worse than you did. I strongly suspect this ban was already modified down from the usual.

Hibbles

one of us

Hibbles

Just making a joke Jude, I love you baby I've been on Bagil just enough to see that what we gained in quantity, we did so by, uh, diluting some of the quality on occasion. And sometimes a lot . It's simply a different situation from Sibyl on occasion, when your'e dealing with FAGBBALLS HITLERHITLER...

Hibbles

Did you have a PM conversation with Jewdicator? If so, what was said?

Hibbles

JMad, do me a favor and read the posts literally directly above your own.

Far as I can see, the real lesson here is 'make sure the antags actually are doing nothing before you send more', as a general rule.

Hibbles

Honestly, a ban for this probably isn't in order. Everyone go support Kor's PR to double the time needed to play Ops instead.

Hibbles

The fact that admins can now essentially clipboard paste a .dmm map file into the current round in like two button clicks changes everything. Syndicate STEEL RAIN drone pod that instantly pings ghosts to join it without my help and deploys tiny, skittering death anywhere at a moment's notice? Sure. ...

Hibbles

Seems to have a pretty good attitude about the whole adminning thing, which is more than half the battle. The other 40 percent is learning how to properly handle things. Or at least fake it enough so the players think they're safe.

Hibbles

I'll just have it in copy+paste any time I'm replying to an adminhelp. Or maybe we can get a button for it? 'Reject adminhelp' literally cannot ever have any use because it gives the freaking verb back to the person, who will, via human nature, inevitably , just keep pinging you with it. Again, and ...

Hibbles

This is the height of a shameful display from the Ops, and we'll check the logs and punish the guilty. Bgo won't be punished because, as an admin candidate, he's not expected to have competency above 'suffocating on own ship'. It would be unfair.

http://i.imgur.com/v605gti.png EDIT : Free general PSA for everyone. If you've reached the point when only one or two admins can even be bothered to respond to your appeal because nobody else wants the headache, then you're approaching the point of being truly Done here. Regardless of whether you t...

Hibbles

To be fair, it's always the worst idea to trade stuff to Tsar. Especially powerful things. But if you think Tsar asking for trades like any player and getting them means Admin Bias, then uh. No.

Hibbles

That is the absolute COOLEST fucking thing that's been added to the game in literal years. This, map rotation, and a ton of other features/quality of life upgrades have made SS13 better than it's ever been before. Especially for admins who've been looking for ways to drop shuttles, assault pods full...

Hibbles

Ban lifted.

Hibbles

Do we have either of those admins on the active roster anymore? Also, I have to say, a month is sometimes said to be too short to appeal a permaban regardless, much less with a confirmed instance of ban evading. It would really suck to 'get soft' on that and make people think it was acceptable to tr...

Hibbles

+1, join the former Presidents club and run events with me sometime in the future fam
even though you probably won't get that dank title change

it's basically always awesome working with you when we're both on the server, works well with other admins, generally good judgement, not a jerk, yadda ya.

Hibbles

Stands are pretty much on a knifes edge in regards to being nerfed or removed though so I'm afraid to work on them. Stands have always been hyper-cool, it's like the STEEL REHN recently added to Ops. These antagonist classes should have powerful, unfair, bullshit ways to kill the average person. Ye...

Hibbles

People who yell stupid things on the radio just as the round starts. It's a splendid way to mysteriously get 100 points of brain damage when I see it.

Hibbles

That's as absurd, and incorrect, as 'most players are griefing edgy shitlords'. I've been through literally more rounds than almost anyone, been an admin for years round after round, and I'm telling you, the vast majority of people don't cause trouble most of the time. They're just, well, average. Y...

Hibbles

The other idea is make drones unconditionally valid at all times, while still normally unable to fight back or interfere. Make them scurry in the shadows again or be subject to the whim of a murderous assistant. I hate Valids in most other situations but I really do think it would help with Interfer...

Hibbles

Although it's been taken out of rotation, I still very occasionally run an HoG, and uh. Every other issue, literally every one, pales compared to one thing. The autoplacement. If a person does not already know about HoG things in detail, then they WILL be fucked by this, and the round will be over i...

Hibbles

Far as I'm aware, you need to successfully appeal the bans regarding an issue before you can turn it into a proper complaint. But that's just an issue of where this thread is and not a commentary on its contents.

Hibbles

The issue is, as was said, drones are unlike most other forms of silicons like borgs. They're literally just an aside thing so a bored ghost has something to do in the round, with the express purpose being they not interfere. If they get any ability to grief as a result of emagging, you're right tha...

Hibbles

I really love the idea of making these little things because, uh, actually making a proper map is a hyper-bitch. But something like this, you could make and have a mapper merge it and it's all awesome.

Time to get the latest version of the code again, I guess.

Hibbles

Always looking for new ideas from players, anything you think would be cool to see. Things to keep in mind are Practicality (how much work will it take to do this/how long will it take to set this up while 90 people wait?), Participation (include as many players as you reasonably can in different ro...

Hibbles

Not a full admin already? Let's fix that.

Hibbles

DIY shuttle event from earlier today on Sibyl. Personally, I don't think what happened made the station-built shuttle any less awesome.

Hibbles

I say anybody can post here with their opinion, although of course this includes 'deafhoof is a fage'. This just seems like a bit of a community issue compared to the normal things, because the question is whether a person who appears to not be shit anymore can come back after doing one of the very ...

Hibbles

From an admin perspective please remove this, no one wants to stay on the station a lot of the time but the shuttle autorecalls anyway, making the admins have to manually speed it up anyway This bears repeating. We're just going to keep manually forcing the shuttle to actually come like it legitima...

Hibbles

I've added an emergency crash manual checklist of OH GOD I'M HOG PLEASE LINK ME AN ARTICLE ADMINS. It's something. Also I love this mode in idea and I've seen some pretty fun gameplay sometimes but whoa. - Remove claymorebab - Communication needs to be easier, not universal since that's the gimmick ...

Hibbles

I'm confident that my large number of connections is coloring my perspective on this with Le Bias but shorter rounds are superior to longer ones 90+ percent of the time. I already hate any game mode that inherently recalls the shuttle, and support shuttle calls even when there's not 'solid reason' f...
