Re: Of Flouride and Salt
The main reason i dont really get involved in serious fights outside of roles required to care, preferring to run or ignore violence /killing sprees is simple: Being a patient sucks.

Re: Lower Terry's average threat level.
I cant help but wonder if people are just really bad at estimating the threat levels, as even high threat rounds sometimes just dont spend a lot of it, while low threat rounds spiral into wild chaos with only a few antags because thats kinda how ss13 goes sometimes.

Re: Spider Infestation Balance Rebalance Part 3
My primary question with this direction is what seperates spiders, thematically, from aliens? If they have ascending tiers and a single overlord who orders them around that just seems to be bringing two VERY similar threats even closer.
