I do not like this change. Feigning lack of knowledge has always been one of those infinite fuzzy areas of enforcement that we should keep to the absolute hard line of “you dont remember anything while you’re dead” for anything short of space magic or hastily-patched-murderbone-antag-trying-not-to-b...

Im a little unsure what the actual specific reason for this note is. The note itself says one thing (none of which is against standard operating procedures and some of which is kinda inaccurate), the admin says another in the peanut, and a third thing in the actual appeal response. What *is* the rul...

The issue with calling a revolution as a prank is sec responding with absolute, round-destroying force. At the time the ruling was made, the balance of things was such that sec would immediately start a brutal oppression, forcibly implanting people and declaring martial law instantly even without pr...

I said it in the PR and I'll say it again: Heretics status as a low-cost high-commonness mass-spawn antag which will end the round in a boring slaughterfest if not aggressively hunted down and destroyed at the slightest indication of heretic activity totally sucks. "Heretics hardly ever ascend&...

I agree that these are saying the same thing and I feel like the loss of the examples loses somewhat of the clarification because there is an awful lot of "action which has zero benefit to you other than making others upset" that someone is actually also being a shitter if they kill you fo...

As much as id like to see the roundstart EVA-looting horde who smash down all the windows and take all the emergency tools and jetpacks get sent to the brig every round until they learn to share, i suspect that “i do not want to be griefed / harassed / metagrudged by shitter assistants for ruining t...

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.

it's because capitalism incentivizes the atomization of society. it turns out eroding all social bonds in favor of market releations results in generations of folks who dont know how to socialize. if you'd like to know more I recommend reading Bowling Alone by Robert D.

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.

Not-Dorsidarf

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.

The person in question wouldn’t even be exposed to the peanut thread as they are not in the players club It is a common practice in the admin team to let banning admins know not to go to peanut threads as there is nothing to be gained there.

Powergaming is not when you're reasonably prepared to handle issues the rounds present, it's when you're overpreparing to demolish any issue that could make the round interesting by instantly murdering it.

Reinforcing toxins because you think it's a dangerous job that can cause round-ending consequences is metagaming on par with reinforcing the armoury or making atmospherics plasma-flood-proof. You need tangible evidence from the current round that any of these places are going to be used nefariously...

How does it handle greytiding and powergaming? Nothing really, but both those issues can be alleviated with a good security team.
