I feel like a lot of people posting against free maints access are doing so on the grounds of settings idealism (it should be the dark spoopy place where antags hide) rather than gameplay reality. When antagonists do things in maintenance, they still hide further in maintenance. No heretic is going...

SkeletalElite

I personally feel like having all maint acess detracts from the game. Maint should be a creepy dangerous place, it should be suspicious to be seen wandering maint unless you''ve got a good reason to be there (ie. maint right outside your department, paramedic, engi or sec officer.) . When literally ...

I thought a little bit about single monstrous xeno thing. Infections gets a rebrand, they aren't a round removal thing. You infect someone and it replaces their heart with a "larval heart" this does 2 things. It makes the infected person susceptible to an ability that lets the xeno pacify ...

SkeletalElite

Honestly could just make one super buff xeno instead of a hive. They don't really achieve that nearly unstoppable apex predator feeling currently. Could set a horror tone that you are being hunted. You are the prey. Maybe facehuggers could just become one of their objectives but the "hatching p...

I think they're kinda cool but they're so restrictive and come with downsides so hefty that I feel like they've just become more cumbersome than anything and so I'm kind of indifferent overall. Stuff like the restricted backpack space and slowdown means I'd rather just not have one on me so unless i...

SkeletalElite

I think maint should be more restricted not less. Remove assistant maint access. Maybe on the code side we could consider expanding departmental maint to be a little more forgiving so that people have better access in the maint right by their department, but I think maint should be mostly empty and ...

I believe logging doesn't show disconnects until you time out a little bit after closing the game, which means the player may not have actually received the bwoink

SkeletalElite

I feel like leaving it at saying "appropriate action was taken" or "handled" is enough.

SkeletalElite

I fear the problems that would arise from a nonhuman head of staff and an asimov AI. Before someone chimes in with "bro its emergent gameplay": I don't care, making an already stressed system have to deal with more wacky bullshit is a recipe for drastic failure. As an aside, what benefits...

Maybe as a station trait this could be fun

You probably get used to it if you do it literally every round

SkeletalElite

It could be a greenshift. The fact that you immediately assume "THERE MUST BE VALIDS" is proof that you're just metagaming. You're literally arguing in defense of being able to go and grab something that you'll need to "detain an attacker" with no reason to EXPECT to be attacked...

I decided to load it up and take a look at it and there's defiantly an issue with the skirt as the existing system that differentiates the male and female body type is doing something strange to the sprite https://i.imgur.com/ySEia3b.png The left is female body type and right is male body type It al...

SkeletalElite

I think it would be cool if suits AND skirts had a different sprite for male and female body type. They don't look very different currently and you often can't tell at a glance without examining. Of course bulky outerwear like space suits shouldn't be that way, but regular old jumpsuits and even bas...

Changing the laws is unnecessary We already have precedent that asking to have your laws removed is a violation of those laws and by extension asking to be deborged is also a violation of those laws. I have a question in a similar vein to this thread that I am curious about though: If you are an ant...

I heavily disliked blood brother If you want to work with someone as antag buy a syndi radio as tot and if there is another traitor willing to do some teamwork they will buy one too.

good way to make even less people play security If people don't want to play security because it's becoming more strict and harder to get away with bad faith behavior, then those people shouldn't have been playing security in the first place. People won't want to play security because how this will...

On one hand I think it'd make sense to assume they are human
On the other comms agents just using the AI as a vehicle to inflict minor grief is obnoxious sooo I'd say it's okay.

Yeah luxury is fine, even if you don't have money the poor section isn't bad and you can always use the teleporter to get in the good section.

only if you do so in a way such that the person you do it to is in danger as a result

The problem I have with expiring notes is that you can play 4 or more hours a day, every day, get a note that expires in 6 months, and do that same thing again 5 months later despite having played 600 hours of getting no notes and get beaned as a "repeat offender" despite having played hun...

SkeletalElite

Don't really know or care about MRP, but I don't think this is an issue on the other servers. Although I disagree with your point that it doesn't make sense from a roleplay perspective. Conflicts have collateral damage, and a revolution against an established power almost certainly ends with damaged...

SkeletalElite

Alright but the implication here is that it's opened PURELY for lethals and nothing else, I've seen less lethals and more for riot armour to stack tackle buffs or even dragnets for a few officers who like them. I see no issues with handing out lasers either, what's the difference between lethally s...

Seems to me like admins should just be denying standard antag trades in most situations.

Stuff that you can't get roundstart like revenant and abductor is fine, but admins probably shouldn't just be giving people traitor in trades, unless of course its some strange gimmick they're asking for.

SkeletalElite

What do we really lose by forbidding playminning unless necessary. It's not that I don't trust the admins not to play dumb, it's that playing dumb and playing ignorant are not the same. Dead chat info both requires a player to die and come back into the round and also does not provide information at...

SkeletalElite

Make prayers visible to dead chat, biggest issues are solved by immediate and obvious transparency.

You might want to read the thread, SkeletalElite. I really don't think the no ERP sign compares the greentext. The greentext book is rarely present in rounds, I'm pretty certain you can find no ERP posters just about every round. Plus when the greentext is present, people are free to call it the gr...

SkeletalElite

Isn't their actual posters in the game that say NO ERP on them.
That makes it IC

Either interpretation of the law should be fine as long as you choose one and stick with it

SkeletalElite

Seems like either the ability to brainwash is too common or people are taking an issue over something that will happen rarely enough that it's a non issue.

It's brainwashing, you're supposed to be able to force someone to do something usually voluntary.

SkeletalElite

The responsibility should fall to both the organizer and the participants IF the participants know clearly that what they are doing is grief. Ie. if a changeling manages to kill and take the place of the HoS without anyone noticing and leads the security force into killing a bunch of people who didn...

Seems like an "auto replace upon conversion" preference is needed as a code solution to the ghosting problem. If people don't want to play, give them an easy and automatic avenue to automatically be replaced when they are put in a role they don't want to be in. Essentially a way to "a...

I think whether or not murderbone for hijack is okay on MRP seems beside the point.

The point is whether or not murderbone permission is shared with antags you are working with.

ie.. If you're a traitor working for a malf AI with active doomsday is it okay?

SkeletalElite

I see the AI upload the same as armory personally, if you're in it without permission you are valid, even if if you're dont intend to do something bad because of the potential danger of misuse.

SkeletalElite

I mean perma is rarely used in LRP because if you're justified in putting someone in there you are justified in killing them. on LRP there is no need to ask warden/hos/captain (although you should give the warden a head's up since their job is to guard the brig, you don't need their permission thoug...

SkeletalElite

I think maxcaps should situationally be okay depending on the circumstance.

Bombing a traitor in the middle of bar? No, that's not good.

Bombing a cult base that is decently far from a main hall and the collateral damage will likely be limited to a room or two? Seems okay.

SkeletalElite

Antag selection happens before job selection, if you get antag the game will just put you in a different role, so it shouldn't affect people choosing to play heads at all.

two monitors is the way to go my friend. I had a second monitor after buying my current one. Unless you're a daytrader I think it's a meme. I have a second monitor and it's useful.
