Probably not, no.

This is actually something I've had to consider before because I live in the mountains and had a bear show up on the property last year.

I am glad we have MSO, and I do think he's the best at hosting out of any other host due to his skills, I do wish there was a contingency plan. The single role with complete power keeping the server afloat means that if something happens to MSO /tg/ might fracture, and you know my #1 goal with this...

I'm wondering if it's something that should be a separate coefficient that gets modified by some sort of damage curve.

i.e, you took x damage in the last y seconds so your stuns are reduced by z% because of adrenaline.

The wackier your name is the more effort you should put in to masquerade it. Get funky with it. I named a prisoner "Briggs Jail Prisonperson" and others loved it. I didn't choose "John Prisoner" or "John Perma" (though I will admit Perma is kind of a cool last name) Jo...

I think a lot of modern games do things like this with stuns but they make it percentage of health related So there's a complex equation to be written here with dynamically reducing stun duration based on how hard the hit was and their overall health. Like if someone's pretty close to dead the stun ...

Like the plastic is the only thing you don't have at round start and that's easy enough to make in small quantities. MAKING plastic? Nah. Just go disassemble some airtight plastic flaps.

The "jannie" argument is fucking stupid. I recognize my deranged rambling is sometimes too correct for the sane. anyway this entire meandering thread is showing is MSO is the enlightened centrist, champion of our free speech standing as a bulwark between the two points of "don't say ...

I don't think there's literally anybody on this server that wants to ban people for using a slur the first time it's done. The majority of interactions would look like this: 1) Person uses slur. 2) Admin asks them to stop. 3) They say "ok" and get a note. 4) Either they don't do it again ...

I'm not really in the camp that "ligger" shouldn't be allowed, but I do get where they're coming from. I don't think anyone is saying that you can't be species-ist against lizards IC, just that you should come up with a word that isn't directly tied to an IRL slur. It's the future, get cr...

Or they'll double down and become worse, proving the assessment correct. That's not them "doubling down", it's you pushing them away. All you're doing with this attitude is creating resentment. Going out of your way to bully these people is only going to push them into even more bigoted c...

It depends on what part of the country you're in and how much political/social power you wield.

Why does it matter? Like seriously. Why are you engaging with a premise built on binding all uses of a word based on how so few used it or based on its originations. none of that binds the context the word can be used in. Unfortunately we live in a society where language is contextual [both histori...

Timberpoes is, as always, correct in his assessment. People hiding behind "Well I'm not being an ACTUAL [racist/sexist/homophobe], I just like to make offensive jokes because I think they're funny!" is a timeless shield of actual bigots to obfuscate and rally people to their banner. This i...

I started SS13 on Paradise.

I think in a perfect world for a game like SS13, everything that can have a code solution to enforce roleplaying or an expected/wanted behavior should do so. Even if I were to generally agree, it is necessary to weigh the cost of what you lose by solving a solution through code. I think this soluti...

For the love of god get an actual IT job and do game design as a hobby instead of going full time game design. Gamedevs are treated like shit by the industry. this and I'm also of the opinion that game design can't be taught because anyone decides to teach it is already irrelevant because the gener...

Indeed, but this just moves the goalposts, instead of getting yourself converted, you just "accidentally" speed run an assisted suicide and then go join the now more numerable antag rolling midrounds. And then you can speed run kill your next character and repeat. More notably cult/revs h...

How would we enforce this policy wise? Would it follow the same restrictions split personalities follow? I would imagine so to a degree - there would have to be a blurb about "You don't remember your past lives" per the usual, and I guess something about self preservation and the pursuit ...

Ziiro

I think this would give players a reason to not be "WHOOPS ACCIDENTALLY CONVERTED!!" 1) If a player mob would be converted, that body is offered up via prompt for a few seconds 2) If nobody responds, the original player keeps their body and stays in the game 3) If the player is later de-co...

I stand by my stance that both parties should probably be punished in equal measure. If you want to spend the time and energy to do le epic eorg grief XD then you're betting big on pulling it off, and you need to take your lumps if you fuck up. If you don't want that risk? Don't do this shit, then. ...

There have been some true all-timers in the last few months. More enjoyment out of peanut threads than actually playing the game for me, these days.

i could care less about people who bring grief items onto the shuttle so they can detonate them the microsecond the round ends for some funny EORG. if you want to bring maxcaps onto the shuttle so you can blow it up after the round ends and giggle at it thats fine but you need to be willing to acce...

Simply not bring TTVs to the shuttle simply for EORG. If someone wants to do something involving TTVs, there better be a good fucking reason other than "I want to grief". It is his fault simply because EORG is the only reason why he brought the TTVs. Fail RP and cringe. People that prepar...

A player who consistently has shitty behavior in one area of the game is likely doing the same shitty behaviors everywhere but not getting caught or skirting rules by circumstance.

The roleplay doesn't end when you leave the game - it continues on the forums and in the wider community. The community loves the drama our more bombastic personalities impart on our server. It's fun. The only thing better than an admin going "dare you to complaint me, I'll end your SS13 caree...
