I'll play in both since I'm around for the holidays. Freelance it is.

Amelius

From git: > That's a valid concern and it's part of the reason why I removed the 5-minute time limit on the orb. It means you can decentralize your saccing and then collect all the cultists on a place when you want to summon. Sac runes need to be standard on all cultists. It is required to reach the...

Strategems = magicka spells I'm guessing? Bf is picking it up for both of us on Christmas, so hype ahoy.

Only 11 more full days!

Amelius

Okay, if there's questions about powergaming when it comes to classes, have it be restricted that only 40% of the cultists can pick said class, and if you try to pick it after that, it says please pick something else > Artificial limitations. > Forcing people to choose roles they don't want to play.

Amelius

Can't you also use the ghost summon spam rune, equip them all with cult armor then send them out into the halls to murderbone to get the sacs you need. Only with a drain life rune as well. Medibots and medikits won't provide enough sustained healing. Even then it's risky since you have no control o...

Amelius

Since you can hear adjacent radio channels, any tator with a syndie key is easily identifiable in the most mundane of circumstances unless you toggle the syndie channel constantly (and even then, the other channels are a dead giveaway - "assistant-san, why do you have access to the command chan...

Too weak to be anything but a bonus antag like revenant/swarmers/etc.

Amelius

In that particular round, we were extremely lucky in a number of ways. We were generally pretty robust, a few of us were familiar with the runes, the department we based ourselves in was understaffed, someone wiped sec's records(?) shortly after some of us escaped capture, sec never bothered to rai...

Amelius

Can we do the Gang Dominator thing and give a second chance? If say, someone bombs a supposedly bomb immune structure. You can 'retry' but you start back at square 1 in terms of sacs. The sac requirement is much too high anyway, given you have to reach the requisite sacs AND defend for roughly as l...

Amelius

It is bombproof, from what I've heard. Double boh isn't really a bomb though, it just spawns mini-singularities. It isn't bombproof. Most recent cult round resulted in a resounding cult victory with seconds to Nar Nar, followed by a suicide bomb from 10~ tiles away OHKOing it. Nar nar really needs ...

>stunprod sword to the chest until they die no time to scream Seriously it's actually hilariously easy, cult swords do 30 or so brute, so tehre's no chance that they'd be able to yell if you're hitting chest.

What. Labels are meaningless. 'Is it gay' is a retarded question - the real question should be 'does it float your boat?' Regardless, as a bisexual, I'd go down on 1-4 tbh.

Amelius

Really weak. Has potential, but cult is simply too complex for having a 5 man prosquad. Ops is simple with a simple objective - use this mundane gear to wreck a station and steal the disk. Cult meanwhile has a bajillion runes with interesting interactions and so forth. However, with the removal of s...

Amelius

Because antag drones are overpowered as fuck. Swarmers are restricted by code so they cannot screw with important station systems. Drones have no such limitation. A single Syndiedrone can fuck the station over completely. This, also, they might be fragile, but they're ridiculously hard to hit, can ...

Amelius

It's a really dated MMO with really shitty skill grinding mechanics, crazy build requirements, shitty death mechanics (gotta find your settlement in bumfuck nowhere which takes a few hours of walking usually), structure upkeep and skill rust, I believe.

Generally, martial arts vary from 'blase' to 'kinda useful but gets progressively worse compared to other options mid-lategame'.

Amelius

To be fair, knowingly cloning and protecting a headrev in enemy territory as a loyalty implanted crew member is really fucking shit, especially if you have no way or even intention to restrain them when they get out, and didn't notify any fucking one in security that you would be cloning them.

Amelius

FYI, go to options to change the terminal height/width and/or the tileset used. I like MShocked. In the 'Sheltered' start, they give you quite a good amount of starting resources and a safe location, hell, they even give you pipes and wire from the chainlink fence down there. The negatives here is t...

Amelius

Okay so my suit of armor was destroyed or lost somewhere somehow. RIP. On the plus side, I took on a couple brutes in melee combat and wrecked their shit, and have high enough combat skills and good enough equipment that I can actually kill things without dying. I even made myself a 1x1 storage hatc...

That round was awful. The malf AI did jack shit for an hour and a half and wasn't AFK. Hacked one APC in the vault.

Really good game, wish it had normal MP instead of play-by-mail. Also the skill cap is ridiculously high it's kinda insane. Wish there wasn't so much focus on blessings and the AI was better. Also wish I could set my units to autopatrol instead of having to re-set them constantly. I always wonder if...

You forgot to mention that it's literally impossible to keep two people down with it, since the cooldown is on the baton, rather than on the person.

Except you can just emag into the bridge or Captain's office and recall without anything in seconds. Zero prep required. Or you can build your own console with low R&D tech or the extra board in tech storage, whatever.

Amelius

I 100% agree with Oldman. Some rounds are better refreshed because the antags are too ded/retarded/etc. to offer any sort of meaningful interaction.

Heck, under the current proposal you couldn't even call for an opsvasion unless they murderbone. Horrible shortsighted change.

Amelius

Also amelius if you are talking wander spawns then yes they are still supremely biased and will fuck you constantly even when you make no noise. As for mall start the best way I have used to escape is to take the back tunnels to the loading dock. This will have an exit to the outside world and you ...

Fucking horde mode.

This is the awfulest idea I've ever encountered here.

'I am unrobust please I need a way to not look like a complete shitter when perma-ing someone'.

Amelius

They're fine. Consider the following:

They cost 8 spell points. Combine that with lich, and that's all you have. No escapes, no nothing. Disarmed? You're fucked, and lich won't save you.

Tone down the radiation a bit and it'll be fine. Wizards ARE memes after all.

The 'AI IS ROGUE' thing was started by Isaac something, who also told the AI to announce ops earlier in the round, I believe.

Actually, you CANNOT take off shoecuffs. Can't even resist out of them, someone else has to take them off of you.

Amelius

The only maps that are really unbearable are disk, dream, and birdboat. I think the biggest problem is that all these maps were just haphazardly thrown into the rotation with not even the slightest popular vote, so the flaws of the rotation system are being seen (majority does not rule, even if 90% ...

Gee, I sure do wonder why you were permabrigged after attacking the HoS. What could possibly go wrong with trying to disarm and table the guy in charge of executions and permanent sentences? The point was the arrest was made under bogus pretenses, we had nothing suspect in our bags, and our intent ...

Amelius

Let me summarize the points from my perspective, ignoring the Rodrik's post, in greentext form. Note that, since I tried to kill the HoS at the end of it (and almost succeeded), any sort of complaint on my own is void, at least based on previous experience with rulings. > You are the scientist.
