Everyone get in line and I'll give you an approved character name.

Give me space birds so I can stop burning out every time I try to map a tradepost for them.

I'm not sure how many players know how to play an asshole without being an asshole.

cedarbridge

Burnout happens when you feel like you've either exhausted your creativity or you've run out of things to learn. If its the former, take a break or spend some time workshopping gimmicks, storylines, etc. If its the latter, find something new to learn or experiment with. A game this iterated has a bi...

Actual trials, as they've classically been done on TG are cumbersome, slow, and bomb magnets. You would have to establish a summary legal queue system that would accelerate the process to have any hope of trials becoming more than a rarity. Thankfully the bomb magnet part would be mitigated somewha...

I remember making this thread many years ago and I'm still of two minds about it. On the one hand, heads of departments are more or less meant to be a sort of mentor or leadership of a department. Depending on charisma and level of RP severity, they could also wield actual authority over the other m...

I appreciate that after all of these years Oxford posts are still too long and generally terrible while Shaps is terse as ever.

If i were to ask the xenobiologist in looc "can i hold u hostage plz????" they would either say no, and run no rp, or "yes", cursing me with the knowledge that the xenobiologist may be acting scared, but isn't trying to avoid death, else why would they willingly enter a hostage ...

If you can explain how to do something OOC you should be able to put together the extra brain cell to explain the same thing IC. Especially on Manuel

what is private frequency for radio

Something that doesn't work when the station is primo fucked and comms are bombed/singulo'd/deconstructed.

It's not metagaming if you remember your death. We have no "clone memory disorder" type of rules. And I do agree with Space Panda's "It's a roleplaying game, not a competitive one" take on "cheapens death". How is saying respawn will be abused to make victims talk a go...

NikoTheGuyDude wrote:hey just as a note these two characters are now married in character

Do we have a list of characters actually married in rounds? I know we've done a few big deal(tm) events built around character weddings but the names escape me at the moment.

Holopads tend to get used when the station is fairly fucked and people need a semi-secret robustman's trick to communicate across distances or with the AI.

This thread sucks.

cedarbridge

It does confuse me when players see a rule that says essentially "don't murder everyone on the station with the explicit goal of slowly whittling down the station pop to zero" and takes it to mean "don't touch anyone ever or you will be banned"

Assistant players and the culture they've created around being an """"assistant"""" this shit is real I heard one of the HRP servers changed "assistant" to "visitor" and the tiding and shittery went down overnight, like something about bei...

Because nobody cares about your crappy gallery threads.

cedarbridge

Why are we specifically targeting assistants for nerfs and anti-QoL "improvements", again? Like, I know the meme is haha assistant robust despite starting with nothing, but isn't the CLOWN the one who's supposed to be specifically bullied by game mechanics all of the time (see: clumsy tra...

Periodically I consider going back to WU, but somehow the pitch for Online is just "it's bigger, slower, and less fun but everything is more spread out and unique now because everyone is having less fun"

cedarbridge

Player should not be encouraged for going out of their way to ruin someone's round. Banning them is too much, yeah, but I'd warn someone or maybe even add a note if they literally went to ruin someone's round for no fucking reason. It's literally in the rules. The rules do not mention anything abou...

"Sure sucks that those guys tore up your department and broke everything in it and then proceeded to draw attention to that. Oh well IC issue pack it in boys. Its not like you were an important role anyway." I'm still trying to figure out when application of administrative justice applied ...

cedarbridge

Enjoyed the times we spend on WU but I don't know that I want to go and do it all again on a server setup with even more soul crushing grind.

cedarbridge

Time to start slapping that "spawn devil" button until people learn to respect curators.

cedarbridge

The grind to 10m blows.

cedarbridge

Not a good ruling so far.

I'll talk to one of the 9 metagroup discords I idle but never read. One of them might invite you if you're cool about it.

I set up a mini event where I made a trapped shuttle with a fake Die of Fate at the center. I spawned a die of fate and then the ordinary d20 that I copied name and description onto. I the proceeded to delete the wrong die, leaving the real DoF on the shuttle. The recipient of the die then rolled a ...

I was actually working on station-wide crew objectives to kinda help give direction to rounds without direct need to have an antag playing protagonist. I'll have to look at where I left off on that. Essentially the crew are given a scoreboard at the end of each shift that shows certain features like...

is an admin really going to punish you for killing someone sabotaging the engine? really??? It's why escalation exists. Replace the greyshit dickhead that burst in telling me he needed me to give him a "section of pipe" with any other monkey. If I can get banned because I bypassed "p...

I am getting the impression people aren't just angry about "illegal" actions, but angry about asistants/validhunters existing in the first place, and to me that smells like "stop liking what i don't like". Different people have different ways to play, and as a community we shoul...

Something's been sticking in my craw about the whole "Well I'll just go shit up some other role" line. The majority of the issue is cultural, as the thread implies. We treat assistants as a no-responsibilities fuck around role but then give them access to every tool they need to be no-res...

cedarbridge

I would rather just have assistants changed to visitors and have the AI's laws changed to only work for employees of nanotrasen. It would make things for shitter assistants harder, and give borgs leeway to end them for being shitlords. Forcing assistants to be non-human race only (opposite of heads...

cedarbridge

So removing the only thing assistants can do (exploring maint) except for greytide is somehow supposed to reduce greytide? Removing the only reason asisstant mains are drawn to the role (free maint access and nobody to ask who you are or where you are) certainly makes the role less attractive and n...

Why didn't you consult the community before changing the rules? Why do you think this wasn't already covered by rule 1? This is just giving more power to sensitive retards. If its already covered by the rule then what's the point on consulting the community about something supposedly already presen...

"How do I get more antag" is exactly the sort of cultural mentality problem that this thread is trying to fight against in the first place. Stop trying to use antag roles as rewards you cretins. Hol up. There are multiple aspects to the game. One of them undeniably is the skinner box type...

You need to lead by example. Play the kind of characters you want to play with. Otherwise nothing is going to change. This sounds good until you realize that it doesn't cure the problem.

Better would be to just have the cloner print catatonic bodies that you can use to swap the brain of the dead guy into. This is more a discussion about code than it is about policy.

Dalton is extremely possessive. Steal something from him and he'll probably chase you around for an hour until he gets whatever you took back or until something kills him. At which point he'll hope for cloning to go back to getting all of the other things that were just stolen back. A.L.I.C.E. will ...
