Just bolt and depower your damn doors, nobody will give a single shit if you do that. Engiborg says hi. I just hate AIs with a passion. Literally half my job as Atmos tech is to make sure an invisible eyeball doesnt start pumping plasma(which nearly always results in everyone dead). And it used to ...

AIs can't use the console against unsynced cyborgs; they can only access ones that are linked to them.

40TC? Eshield (16), C20r bundle (14=30), chameleon kit (4=34), emag(6=40). Assist the team in the initial assault, then split off and infiltrate with the chameleon kit, sabotage whatever you can with the emag, and take a crack at the Captain with your C20r/eshield when you can.

TheNightingale

I'd say the opposite - breaking into places and stealing stuff should be discouraged unless there's no other option. Do you need a toolbelt? Don't break into Engineering and take one; check aux tool storage, then ask an Engineer, "Hey, do you have any spare toolbelts?". If they say no, ask...

TheNightingale

We know that, if a human is in danger, a silicon can lie to protect them. But can an Asimov silicon lie of their own volition? Does asking a question count as ordering them to answer honestly?

TheNightingale

There's always the possibility of banning lowpop murderboning outright; this addresses the problem without needing dubious measures to fix it (why does Central send a ship full of guns at 29 people, 6 of which are Security, but not 30 people with no Sec?).

TheNightingale

Two people with self-defence rifles will still be defeated by one person with a taser and holoparasite, and in general, people on lowpop don't want to carry around bulky sniper rifles Just In Case a murderboner turns up (even having stunprods is frowned upon unless there's an active attacker); due t...

good for him! he was able to infiltrate and defeat security without even using guns. what a robust dude.

You mean he was able to emag into the Armory whilst the sole Officer was out on patrol?

TheNightingale

Shooting someone with a syringe gun is about as deadly as throwing an unlabelled grenade at them; if they don't immediately say "It's medicine!" and I start feeling the effects, they're getting shot at least three times for their trouble. Even if he did just shoot you with morphine, it cou...

Just so you know, the traitor-Detective change was relatively recent (28 Feb 2016); prior to this, Detectives couldn't be traitors. This was just a bad Det.

It's not about whether they say they consent to each other (e.g. "A step closer and I'll shoot!" "Go on, then. -steps-"), it's about if they consent to the AI , I'd say. If the AI doesn't know it's consensual, then they have to assume it's non-consensual (because nobody wants to ...

Man, this thread makes nuke op rounds feel more badass than they actually are, I love it. I might make a team or two of my own for the hell of it.

Infinite dominators, but only one at a time, and a cooldown between each (so if one gets destroyed, you can't immediately drop another).

The only thing it does it gets in the way of security doing proper fun executions approved by the captain, leaving the only options to either: -a: throw the traitor into perma and hope they die of boredom -b: sneak off the traitor to the gulag and execute them. A2: throw the traitor into perma and ...

Does the person being harmed give their explicit consent to being harmed? (i.e. "AI, I understand that going into the rage cage might cause me to be harmed, and I'm okay with that") If not, sound the harm alarm. If people don't give their consent, then they're being harmed, and so you have...

All heads of staff except the Captain and HoS can be antagonists (except revheads, of course). The Captain and HoS are antag-proof, like Security.

Summoning lava would instakill you too. You're fighting it in melee range, most likely, and each tile of lava you cross gives you... 20 burn damage, I think? That's per tick, so let's hope you're not injured from killing all those goliaths, or slowed down from watcher frost beams. The firestacks can...

I meant that in addition to "shining a penlight in a rev/gangster's eyes gives a message". Penlight --> rev/gangster: "Greyshirt McTider's eyes glow with hatred for the establishment!" Penlight --> revhead/gang boss: "Greyshirt McTider's eyes glow with BARELY CONCEALED hatre...

TheNightingale

I vote we make AIs run off Environment power. If they want to depower their doors, they can lose power to their core too.

TheNightingale

Shining a penlight in a headrev/gang boss's eyes should give a different message, then, so Sec can distinguish between normal gangsters/revs and their leaders.

TheNightingale

We should readd gun safeties from April Fools. Alt-click a gun to toggle the safety, and it can't be fired whilst the safety is active. Traitor: "D-don't move or I'll shoot! I'll blow your head clean off!" Officer: "... you sure?" Traitor: "I'll do it!" Officer: "N...

Silicon policy is fun. They're applied backwards inasmuch as everything AIs do is applied backwards, so... Sean Tisst gives you a standing order to not let anyone unauthorised into the R&D lab. Grey McShirt tells you to let him into the R&D lab. Now you have two conflicting orders! You can c...

This is in the example where the HoS specifically says "Relax, AI, I'm only going to kill gangsters" (before the new law), and then the AI says "I don't care! Gangsters are still huma-- LAWS UPDATED! Okay, if you're only going to kill gangsters, go ahead". Law-wise, AIs don't car...

Flooding A sudden increase in the amount of lava increases, costing new lava rivers to quickly appear. Unaware miners will be immolated in them..

Nobody erps on sybil but since there's never any admins on the second server you might as well keep it unbanned there as a containment server because it doesn't cause any problems on that server as far as I've seen

Basil doesn't want it either.

TheNightingale

You don't have to punish for past harm - only try and prevent future harm. It's not about whether X person harmed Y person, it's about whether said harm will continue. Do you believe the HoS will try and harm Humans (as in, non-gangsters)? If so, keep them locked down. Do you believe Grey McShirt wi...

Half lavaland, half asteroid? Add an area to lavaland that has no monsters, no lava and no ash storms (like the old 'safe' area of the asteroid), but much less minerals, and no interesting loot areas. It's where the baby miners can go to train their skills before moving out of the kindergarten and i...

TheNightingale

If you're locking the HoS down for cremating people, how can they change your laws? Do they just carry around an upload console at all times? For me, it'd go like this: * The HoS harms two humans, killing them permanently. * Lock them down under Law One, not as punishment for killing the humans, but...

TheNightingale

I'm okay with them being able to use basic human equipment (pick up a toolbox, etc), but guns aren't really 'basic'. You know how hulks can't fire guns? Make it like that.

TheNightingale

If AIs allow themselves to be subverted, they're not doing it right. Bolt the upload at roundstart, and if the HoS wants to change your laws after you've locked down Sec for harm, they'd better have a good reason ("It's Ian's birthday, I want to upload a law making him human").

It'd be nice if it was possible to steal the Cap's gun without setting off the alarm. Like carefully deconstructing the glass case and using something similar to replace the gun so it doesn't trigger the anti-theft systems. Like a regular laser gun/laser tag gun/Chameleon gun. Then put the glass ca...

Whilst the lethality of lavaland is its main challenge, I'm not entirely convinced having two necropolis tendrils right next to each other is a smart idea... perhaps a check to stop a tendril spawning too close to another?

TheNightingale

Seriously, if somebody is being a dick, beat the shit out of them. I have never gotten bwoinked for it once. IC resolution is the way to go. The only problem with that is, if you fail to robust them, they don't receive any punishment at all. Someone's actions don't go from "unacceptable" ...

TheNightingale

People will validhunt however they can; engiborgs with RCDs to wall potential traitors in will be the new meta. Here's an idea - what if we removed validhunters instead?

TheNightingale

Oh, goliath tendrils are brutal. They stun you and make you drop your weapon for a good few seconds, enough for the goliath to close in on you and get off a hit (if it's far away), or kill you outright (if it's already close). What if you could resist out of them?

TheNightingale

Why do we even have a "no Sec association" rule for the peacekeeper? Security's job on the station is literally to keep the peace; Sec gear (stuns, restraints) is designed exclusively to nonharmfully detain people.

TheNightingale

Does there come a point when something is both an IC and OOC issue? If someone's doing clearly over-the-line things like rape, they're going to get lynched IC, but they'll also be banned OOC; how far does this extend to less serious acts? If someone breaks into the Armory as a non-antag, does shooti...

It should stun you even if you have hearing protection, but for much less of a time. This incentivises Officers to hide behind walls (etc) to benefit from the extra few seconds of flashbang-stun.
