It is not the rod that moves. It is only yourself.

TheNightingale

Before you mess with Security, make sure you know as much as you can about the situation first. Understand that, although you don't have all the information, they probably know more than you about why they're doing something. It's okay to ask "Hey, why are you doing {unusual act}?".

Wrong thread, beholders are awesome.

* Kill anyone who gets on the shuttle 50+ people, no matter how much gear you got you can't take on that many people without being swarmed over This was on Basil.

It seems like disablers are really, really weak now. As in, I'll unload an entire egun of disabler beams into someone (and hit), move to cuff them, and then they stand up and run off before I've finished. What happened?

TheNightingale

The ERT wasn't armed with pulse weaponry, and they fired on you because you waved a meathook in their face. There's a difference between trying to hijack the shuttle and trying to maximise your K/D ratio; if you try and kill a bunch of people (especially on lowpop), you have to expect resistance. If...

Wizards should be able to use guns from Summon Guns, absolutely. They're magic guns. But if you jaunt into the Armory, loot all the weapons and start tase-and-lasing people, are you a Wizard, or are you some nerd with Armory gear who just happens to have magic?

TheNightingale

Emergent gameplay.

TheNightingale

Wizards should only be able to use guns if the gun has a magic firing pin installed (they already exist, wands and staves have them - Summon Guns and Lesser Summon Guns weapons should also have these!). They should also be able to buy magic firing pins... at the cost of one spell point each.

TheNightingale

Pet peeve: people starting arguments in threads when they really don't need to. Chill.

TheNightingale

There is almost NEVER a context in which removing a headset from a prisoner makes you anything other than a terrible, terrible member of security. If you do that willy-nilly, you should remove all security roles from your preferences forever. If I'm sending someone to perma, I'll take their headset...

TheNightingale

Okay, but you shouldn't be able to spam disarm and stand a good chance of winning fights either. Yes, you can disarm deathsquad pulse rifles easily. That's not a good thing.

TheNightingale

I know the ruin with the green creatures has a GPS in it, but I don't think the rest do. What if they all did?

But then we get GPS bloat. That's a thing now... alright. GPSes need to be able to filter between lavaland/space ruin GPS signals, and GPS signals from actual people.

- Make borgs take slowdown from damage This sounds good. - Make borgs get their modules disabled from damage earlier Nooooo.

[Security Officer] "Hey, doc, have you seen my ID and gun?" [Medical Doctor] "Urist McGriffon took them. I'll let you know if I see them." The Officer runs off to deliver some justice to Urist with the pointy end of his stunbaton. Meanwhile, the MD chuckles to herself as she uses...

In the past two days, I've seen five separate incidents of people breaking a window, then being chainstunned and killed in seconds by space wind pulling them into the electrified grille. It's hilarious.

TheNightingale

Anyone recalling the shuttle in a real emergency without the intent on calling red alert gets executed in my books. Real emergency meaning basically 60% of the station is dead, or singuloose. PSA: Recalling for red alert is only a good idea when the shuttle will take eight minutes or more . If it's...

TheNightingale

The idea of "this thing is always valid, kill them" kind of conflicts with the "chill, you don't have to kill everything" theme we have going on. Add Tajaran without the always-valid clause.

TheNightingale

The wiki button doesn't tell you everything. Remember, people learn differently - some like to read things, some like to watch other people do things, some like to be told how to do things, some like to try it themselves.

Open source?

You can create fun without conflict.

How do you use potassium and water to blast through rocks? The first time I tried it, the explosion just knocked me down. The second, it gibbed me and destroyed half the seed vault.

You know those rounds where memey things happen? This is one of those rounds. Literally the worst part of it was Pascal losing his beard, and that's arguably not even a bad thing.

i have the right to decide not to play the game and you can't take it from me Nobody's saying you can't decide not to play the game. We're saying that if you decide not to play the game after you've already started playing the game, you won't be able to play some of the game in future. It's like an...

Personally I hold prisoners to the ash walker standard. They're escaped convicts that were being held by the same company that all the crew are employed by. I get a lot more rustled when I see a prisoner show up wearing guard gear ripped off a corpse and security's just like "welcome aboard!&q...

Observe at roundstart, wait three minutes, check the orbit list for anyone who's dead; if they're a suicide, note. Second time, antagban.
"But then they'll go braindead!"
Ban those ones too. Ban everyone until they get the message.

TheNightingale

Wizards - and any antags - are supposed to make the round interesting. They don't have to kill a bunch of people to achieve that, but they do have to do something . Friendly wizards as in "hey, I'm a wizard, can I sign up as chef" are bad; friendly wizards as in "hey, I'm a wizard, le...

TheNightingale

Antagban them without telling them. They can keep joining and suiciding and being disappointed, forever.

TheNightingale

This whole thread is a farce; it reads like an unironic illuminaughty conspiracy with the headmins as the evil tentacle aliens from space. It doesn't sound like this is really about bandit being in IRC, but rather "quick, we need to nail them for something, let's go with this". You know ho...

TheNightingale

I think the point was that letting someone tamper with the AI in a harmless way can easily end up with the AI also being subverted. You could've onehumaned the AI (but you didn't).

TheNightingale

Doesn't "escape alone" allow for other antags to be on the shuttle with you anyway?

TheNightingale

Lich wizard with a staff of healing and wands of death. I'd help out in medicine, and also assassinate Donald Trump.

E: Damn it.

TheNightingale

I'd say the team antag should always come first, except when the solo antag specifically overrides it. You shouldn't kill the CE if they're a cultist and you need to steal their blueprints, but similarly, they should give you the blueprints, because you're on the same team. If your objective is &quo...

I'm non-religious, fairly well-off, cis, and white.
Privileges: checked.

TheNightingale

If they're both antags simultaneously, they should have to follow the rules of both simultaneously:
* You can't backstab your team
* ... unless your solo antag objectives tell you to (e.g. "absorb the headrev")

TheNightingale

The Basil community used to be all for it, but since this thread was made (back in February), it's changed a lot. I don't even care any more, someone necro'd it when the last post was in March.

"The entire crew"... so that's three assistants, an MD, a dead Security Officer and HoP, and a braindead Engineer?

Make atmos and engineering high risk areas so breaking into them makes you valid salad. Feel free to chop up shitters who break into atmos with your axe They disarm you, take your axe and decapitate you. It's valid/"IC issue". They take your hardsuit, ID, gloves and toolbelt, then go into...

Wrong thread, I never knew we needed those so much.

TheNightingale

... good point. Okay, long story short, armour durability and resistance, armour falls apart when hit too much, but the resistance is much higher than it is now. Armour is, in general, better if you're going into one fight, but if you get into multiple fights, you should repair it in between.

TheNightingale

Something along these lines: Armour has x melee durability value, y bullet durability value and z energy durability value. Every attack that hits the wearer transfers {resistance}% of the damage from the attack, into the durability; the rest goes to the target as usual. When one of the values hits 0...

TheNightingale

No, no, no. Code it, but then give the code to someone who isn't vocal about Sec being underpowered, and have them PR it.

TheNightingale

Durability on its own would just be a nerf to armour; you'd need to increase its protective values significantly to make up for it. (But if you do that, the PR doesn't get merged, because "THEY BUFF THEY OWN JOB" memes.)

TheNightingale

I think the suggestion was instead of a percentage resistance, not as well as; so DR 5 means a 25-brute bullet does 20 instead, but a revolver.... wait, this still means the. 357 can 2HKO anyone.

TheNightingale

If another player rolls Captain and you don't, are they violating your rights?

Snip. ^Do this. 1 DR for minor armour (hardsuits, etc), 5 DR for Security/black-and-red, 7 for the Captain/HoS/Ops, 10 for riot/bulletproof/ablative/ERT, 15 for deathsquad.
