I think that immediately searching for implants isn't healthy from an RP perspective. It's also bad from a "wanting antags to still have an impact on the round" perspective. What if my whole deal is to get caught, and use my storage implant to sneak stuff into perma? And then officer McAss...

How about remove stasis beds, and put stasis sleeper functionality into cryo tubes? Cryo could slowly tend wounds (like 50% speed of basic TW) on corpses and prevent corpse degradation. It'd give the cryo room some much needed love. Maybe even do something with Clonexadone since it has no function n...

BrianBackslide

The point is to get people to NOT use the stasis room. Anyone dragging a person to the operating rooms is sus as fuck especially when the goddamn map design caters to using stasis beds.

BrianBackslide

I think there's a disconnect here between wanting to do it the right way, and wanting to get people back up on their feet as quickly as possible. Medbay might be chill most rounds, but then you get a nukie round and the bodies start piling up. People use the stasis beds because it doesn't really inc...

Here on Manuel we want to have more roleplay.

What's that? You're trying to play a consistent and believable character? Get banned.

BrianBackslide

Non-quirk addictions can be gotten over through time, and while Morphine is bad for withdrawl, it's not terrible if you have toxin healing. Especially for a ling.

BrianBackslide

Crab people. They get natural space protection and one big arm that can bash down doors. The downside? No helmet slot, no gloves, their exosuit slot can't hold anything larger than an armor vest, and they only get one free hand.

BrianBackslide

Locking it behind an emag is probably for the better. If anything, it means more Danny purchases!

BrianBackslide

After seeing this event happen at the thirty minute mark, it feels WAY overtuned. Our few sec officers couldn't arm the crew fast enough to overcome the constant tide of cheese skeletons. I think that it's even MORE destructive than warops or a fireball+jaunt Wizard. I see that there's a pr to make ...

BrianBackslide

I thought the point of allowing murderbone for hijack was because you can't reasonably hijack without killing 90% of the crew. I do like the looks of that pr, though.

BrianBackslide

If you want antags to RP more, then you need to slow combat WAY the fuck down. Antags have to be as merciless as the combat is and that applies extra to minor/midround antags like pirates which don't really get the luxury of being sneaky. We're still in the realm of one baton and you're dead. One fl...

BrianBackslide

If pirates are supposed to be a legitimate threat and a "punishment" for failing to pay the ransom, then they should probably be better armed for what they're doing. A mech or miner can easily deal with them, as well as borgs can lock them out of their own ship, and that's not even getting...

BrianBackslide

I’d think rng would be better for that. Statistically, sure. But I'm not always getting my one round as a full round. It might be a late join that I then decide I don't have enough time to stay for a fresh round after. (I have to get up at 4am for wagies) At the very least, I know that I'm getting ...

BrianBackslide

Antag rep would sure be nice for the people who can only get one or two rounds a night. (or less) Better than going weeks without an antag round at all, that's for sure.

BrianBackslide

Space Amish quirk. You can't use consoles, PDAs, radios, machines, or anything more advanced than simple tools. Welders are about as advanced as you can go.

BrianBackslide

Because we need more 2hr stale rounds on Manuel where the antags either fuck off or get caught early and it becomes pseudo greenshift. I don't think we need 24/7 Dynamic, but a lighter supplemental Dynamic that helps to add to stale rounds is very much needed. I honestly don't mind Families, Wizard,...

BrianBackslide

Glad you liked my rambling! Coming back to this I think the idea could be refined a bit further. So without further ado... Poor Unfortunate Souls You're a Sinner, congratulations! Your job is to help your Devil get those delicious, meaty souls. How? You may ask? Peer pressure and light antagging is ...

BrianBackslide

I haven't felt the need to speedrun my objectives and secure the greentext. Hell, Manuel's so peaceful most rounds I can get my shit done without much suspicion, then I sit the whole round thinking "Well that was easy, what now?" Honestly I feel compelled to add some chaos to the round eve...

BrianBackslide

Ammonia and Diethylamine are premium items from a hacked vendor. What he isn't telling you is that you can get infinite amounts of both with about 5 minutes of work by simply mutating a pumpkin roundstart. Back on topic, more things to buy that aren't guns would be nice. Also some civvie bounties ar...

BrianBackslide

Dunno if this would be the appropriate thread to put out a few problems that I see with brainwashing, but here goes. One problem is that I feel VERY inclined to put a "Protect (my character) at all costs" clause into my brainwashing so they don't immediately valid me for brainwashing them....

BrianBackslide

It's not like people have roundstart cybernetic organs. (It'd be a cool quirk though) As a med main I don't typically have to start replacing organs until 30-ish minutes in, and by that point upgraded cyber organs are usually researched which makes EMPs bad, but not deadly. I know next to nothing ab...

BrianBackslide

The Devil is a tempter and should be more capable of engineering situations that make the player WANT to sell their soul. Sometimes it feels kinda pointless to be taking a contract unless you happen to be an antag. You aren't really getting anything out of it that can't be obtained through other, po...

BrianBackslide

Maybe it's changed recently or it was admemes, but I've been a roundstart tator prisoner before on Manuel. The uplink spawned in a pen. I don't like that there's one non-sec/captain that you KNOW isn't going to be an antag. It's a huge gray area and these are the problems I see. 1. If you disallow t...

BrianBackslide

But I like bolting doors and then emagging to lock people in their department!

BrianBackslide

Murderbone chart is missing Heretic, and I don't think they can be adequately covered under tator/BB since they have to kill people to get powers and are rewarded for killing as per their design. Otherwise, seems pretty clear-cut.

BrianBackslide

Why bitch about such a rare mutation to face against blob, when gatfruit is far more common and fucks blobs 1000% harder?

BrianBackslide

I like it but it's way too easy to get money now. It really sucks that I can't afford anything at all roundstart though.

Also the bounty pad needs fireproofing. I accidentally burnt it to ash sending lit bonfires. (and set an unfortunate security guard on fire)

BrianBackslide

How about smoking damage is halved to the smoker, but everyone around gets full damage via secondhand smoke? Secondhand smoke is more dangerous after all.

BrianBackslide

Third Hand: Gives you an extra right hand. Can be combined with the Hulk mutation to get Four Hands mutation. (exclusive against Third Hand mutation) Acrobatic: Falls won't make you drop items. Also lube and other slippery things won't slip you, but super duper lube still can. Matter Phasing: Cooldo...

Stun meta will never go away because borg mains cry every time their flash gets touched.

BrianBackslide

How many poor souls are named shit like "ESPN" or "Nascar"? Naming your child "Mecha" isn't even close to some of the dumb names people have given their kids.

BrianBackslide

Sorry if my last post came off rude, I think the changes (minus the coin mint) are definitely a step in the right direction. "Goodies" aside, I just worry that there's still not enough reason for other jobs to really give a shit about money. Hell, I don't even really go for strange seeds a...

BrianBackslide

And yet, Botanists are still the only ones that'll be affected.

BrianBackslide

Would really suck if I got gud enough to robust Bubbles only to get this and not be allowed to use it.

Maybe using it antags the user with an "escape alive" objective, and everyone gets to know who called the blood contract?

BrianBackslide

I have a character all made up to play sec rounds on and this right here is why I don't ever do it. I don't want to have to live under the assumption that I'm going to get ahelped for doing what I'm supposed to do. Especially since I'm not really the best RPer. Maybe MRP was a mistake and it's not t...

MUH EVENT It's the JOB of Security to protect the crew. And you (as a seccie) stroll up and see three guys beating on your crew, and know they aren't affiliated with the station, you don't need to be nice to them. I'm glad I ducked out that round. Would random crewmembers trying to intervene have go...

BrianBackslide

It solves the "Oh they're getting the anesthetic! They're definitely a tot!" mentality problem, at the very least. I think having some way for the doctor to put the patient under and a REASONABLE reason as to why a non-antag doctor would want to do so is something that medbay sorely needs....

BrianBackslide

New wizard spell: Animate food

Costs 1 spell point and causes all nearby food and pills (screen radius) to immediately fly into the nearest non-wizard's mouth.

Dump a botany bag full of 100 potency Watermelons in the hall and make everyone fat! Make the chemist eat all of their meth pills at once!

BrianBackslide

Last I checked, floorpills don't zoom straight into your mouth. If we're going by the meta of arrivals being the safe space, which is fair, then what's a good demarcation of "here be dragons"? To be honest I think dumping pills everywhere is a bit too silly for MRP. (And kinda pisses me of...

BrianBackslide

Incorrect. You can complete your objectives without those items as any antag that is not Heretic and Cultist. (Outside of stealing the nuke core, and I'm not sure if non-cultists can even destroy those knives) The difference here is that Heretics cannot complete their objectives without their specia...

BrianBackslide

Was watching the experience as an observer and, while the round was hilarious with Mooney constantly getting friendly fired, I pointed out in dchat that having the antag tied to an item they can't get back if they didn't get set up first is plain bad design. There's already rules for deleting traito...

BrianBackslide

Last I checked, you can't hide a bomb in a pill. Either way, outside of some of the worst death mixes, you generally have enough time to notice, call out, and/or drag your ass partway to medbay if it's a naughty pill. In a sense, there's much more fair warning with floor pills. It's something you ca...

BrianBackslide

HARS is a really useful tool for doctoring. Permanent brain trauma? HARS then mutadone the brain back!

BrianBackslide

I think the main problem is that a naughty chemist couldn't mix in hyper death pills named the same thing in the arrivals "pile." Everywhere else, is fair game for both as I (hopefully) understand. On the other hand, the pills are 100% optional and I don't think the floorpills argument hol...

Typically if I find anything good out innawoods, I'll dry it, then grind it into a spice to add to stock/roast/gravy. I hear mushrooms keep well by freezing as long as you saute them well first.

BrianBackslide

Haven't tried growing yet. from what I've researched, the hardest part is finding a substrate for what you're growing. For instance, some mushrooms grow on wood chips/sawdust, but you'll need that to be a sterile UNTREATED substrate... Which can be really hard to get a hold of/expensive if you don't...

BrianBackslide

Don't bring back sleepers, don't bring back cloning, yell at the Botanist if you need a pod.

Also don't allow operating computers to link to stasis beds. It's dumb and makes fun stuff like brainwashing surgery damn hard to do stealthily. Don't like sitting on a bed getting wounds tended? Don't die.

BrianBackslide

Biggest problem with Revs are the situations where the round cannot end because a Rev/Head is hiding/SSD in a locker in maint somewhere. This is much worse on dynamic rounds where you can have Tators/Lings/Wizards, so you might not even KNOW there's revs. Unlike cult, Revs get no tell when they get ...

BrianBackslide

Better yet, I'd rather if non-tend wounds surgery required anesthetic or had a significantly higher failure risk without. More plausible deniability! More paranoia!
