I find it interesting that the dominant component of this discussion has been around the RNG mechanics of unarmed combat. That wasn't something that I reintroduced into the system. And I suspect what has happened here is that the whole unarmed combat system has a degree of, well, let's just call it ...

Polcon is an oubliette. Let them rot in there.

Make of the experience what you will. Even if everyone else is derivative, and the code itself is now pandering to derivative play more than it ever has, that does not mean you have to capitulate to that. There are plenty of folk in the community still proving that there is something special in the ...

careful, don't poke the bear.

Relevant policy thread. You can prepare for EORG, but if you shouldn't make it obvious that you are preparing for EORG. The example given was an openly visible TTV you are dragging behind you.

I believe prior precedent for this is 'don't bring flammable canisters onto the shuttle'. The impact of that is entirely on the one who dragged it aboard. Especially if its a fucking cyborg on Asimov. This is on the borg, not Maia.

The argument in the ban appeal seems to be that the player did not engage in sufficient roleplay before taking action against the player, which is a premise I find rather distasteful. Because this ban would not have been dolled out if the player simply ignored the intruder, although I would say tha...

You know, when I first started playing the game, I had actually already a bit of a comprehensive grasp of how to do quite a few different mechanics because I had spent a good deal of time learning through the sources that introduced me to the game. I sat and watched hours of Tex playing the game bef...

Look, if we're breaking the joke here; This guys logic doesn't follow to me. If the cult being a big enough danger to not take any chances with anyone present on the bridge, then I could possibly see that angle, but I would still have some questions. A) Did you check them for any obvious tells they ...

That's fine. I understand that you are apologetic. But I still think I'm not terribly convinced this will end well if I do unban you. There are only so many chances, and so many red flags before we have to assume the worst. You've tripped into some of our most severe rule breaks one after the other....

Didn't read the thread, but, an opinion.

I'm getting my brother a wooden smoking pipe for his birthday he's gonna be fucking stocked its the perfect gift.

Hi, thank you for appealing. I'm afraid a few things tipped this towards a permaban. Notably, your friend had connections to a previous account that had already gained several notes before jumping over to a new account. That account also had a much more extensive history by comparison. This is a ver...

Maybe just add an hour long timeout?

I wonder if the mental effect of seeing 12 pellet hits plays a role in here too, because shotgun logs makes every shell seem like the dude is gunning people with an AA12 full auto. It's just seemingly adding a firing log for every pellet that hit when it should only do it once for when the while cl...

Well, I can see why you might have trouble with this one, best of luck with that.

Is using rubbet pellets tantamount to genocide now? What planet are you people even living on? This shouldn't even warrant admin time. I feel like you might be drawing this conclusion yourself, friend. I'm wondering if maybe you need to take a step back and re-read what I wrote. You can use them, y...

He wouldn't have been able to hotkey out the dragnet, the shotgun on his back was the quickest to grab. Also it shouldn't matter if it does damage it subdued the guy and he was up in like 000.3s we can surely handle taking a bit of brute after ourselves being agressive... Arguing in favour of an ov...

I mean, to Jeff's credit, the HoS gets a shotgun now. It's part of his kit. So him having it isn't so much a surprise or something to really be questioning. A HoS shouldn't be put on blast for having on his person the shotgun given to him and he is expected to have, and to then employ it. I don't th...

Peanut threads are an aspect of the appeal process done entirely by the community itself. So, no, actually. In some cases, peanut threads can on occasion sway appeals simply because it is a method for the community to self-evaluate. I can absolutely be put to scrutiny by my peers, and in fact my las...

Also, you can't appeal that other note here, you must appeal that separately with the relevant admin. I thought I would let you know.

Hi. I was going to keep this short, since you didn't even bother to continue the ticket with me and see the conclusion of the ban to instead go yell at people on discord instead, but I think a few things need to be said. I'm going to deny this appeal for several reasons; 1) Your behaviour in the giv...

You think the AI is being nice only because the AI is handling social manipulation well. This is something I'll echo as well. I think AI's being seemingly amicable is because they have to be in order to accomplish whatever it is that they need doing. Borgs can only do so much, AI shells can only do...

The deagle made sense, the Regal Condor is a Tiger Co-operative holy weapon after all.

Lol this dude hadn't even started playing until after it was merged.

Hello, thank you for appealing. I'm willing to lift the ban, but I need you to acknowledge a number of things. Notably, I need you to, in the future, to not resolve ic conflicts by bombing departments with high yield explosives, hurting more than just the subject of your conflict. Just don't do that...

I think having overly complicated exceptions is not particularly conducive to good policy. If they're restricted, they should be consistent with other restricted antags. If they're unrestricted, much the same.

Right, should be able to join. I've unlocked in case you have any issues joining a round and you need to tell us.

Since you both float between the various servers, I'd suggest you stick to the following restrictions so that we don't end up in this situation again; A) Never allow anyone but yourself to play on your account. This one is pretty obvious. One person per account. B) Don't play in the same round as so...

Having talked this out with some admins, namely Timber, it's possible that there are two people operating on a single computer in this instance. Unlikely, but possible. That said, please don't go posting pictures of yourself, even just parts of your body, on the internet to a bunch of online strange...

Hi. I was going to explain some more sophisticated means by which I identified the connection between your accounts, but uh...Bring Your Dead is not one of the characters associated with the HiILikeCts account. That is the character name of the person who you claim you are not. So, you know, lol. So...

what does "not every shift" mean in this context? are you gonna get banned if the previous 2 robos spammed mechs? whos gonna check if 5 robos are doing it on a 5 shift rotation, equating to 4 shifts of no mech and 1 of mech spam for them but mech spam every time for everyone else? People ...

Literally not a problem until someone does it enough to make it a problem. It doesn't sit right with me to tell players they can't touch a section of their own role/department or they'll get in trouble by just looking in its direction. Keep it an IC issue (sec can come bust up your mechs and you can...

Infinite explosion man is honestly so good I want to see it returned as a feature in some fashion.

These are just the complications that came to mind within a few seconds, let alone complex situations where you have ongoing violent rivalry or borging or whatever.

welcome back arm! I hope your break did you some good, it's great to have you back.

I've had the same gripe with this for like forever: its insanely difficult to moderate and have people hold each other accountable about. Its the same as aliens and heretics. TG is just super super busy and not everyone is going to be on the same wavelength of roleplay expectations out of each othe...

I wish people did more catch and release. Too many people invest a little too much into round removing every single antagonist. It's a wonder that people don't give themselves an aneurysm playing sec half the time. Or get bored to death when they kill all the antagonists before they can do anything ...

Let's say there's a real thug heretic, he goes into sci and gets caught doing something bad and called out. On Terry he's over, let's say there are no validhunters that round or anything, the security team will wipe him out and he will like get caught 99.9% of the time. Does this not happen on manu...

You know holy water is also a great fertilizer, right?

This is what I'm leaning towards, myself. While they DO fine work, they tend to be fairly blunt and not super sympathetic in tickets (imo). Along with what I mentioned in the above I think they could cook a little longer as a trialmin. This is something I had problems with myself when I first becam...

Maybe don't go to that channel for now.

Iunno why anyone here in the thread is convinced viro has special privileges like he isn't at the end of an extremely short rope with the team as is. He literally got told, in this PR, he is going to get his pr's closed if his attitude doesn't improve and he doesn't stop trying to invite aggression ...

Ah, no, that's fairer, my b.

And I'm saying there is nothing solved by making people amorphous blobs of non-identities with regards to this issue. Even under anonymity, someones own meta will become apparent and intuited. People recognize patterns far too easily. Put two and two together.

Posting you did in fact do, along with evidence, is bad faith behaviour now?
