But jumping into a metafriend's arms in security so you two can get EZvalids on some baldie who just wanted to play together borders 'that guy' territories of being a dick, and probably would be flat out Rule 1 breaking if it wouldn't retroactively call out the playstyle of half the meta kool kidz klub of the server.

When medbay says they made a vaccine for a deadly disease going around the station, they give you the supposed vaccine, but it doesnt fucking work and nobody cares that there's a deadly disease. bonus points if its during a round where the station REALLY NEEDS TO WORK TOGETHER like on a nuke ops round.
More bonus points if they said they made a vaccine for a fungal or bacterial infection/ a cure for it but they didnt realize you don't vaccinate for fungal infections.

How about the classic ashwalker who never leaves the base because he wants to hog any bones and sinew that comes in so he can make armor

I've never seen the person doing the tribe crafting ever being the one who deserves it. It's usually:
*Spend 20 minutes kiting and killing properly, using efficient health resource management (not wasting med charges on 5 brute limbs), digging out the paths/laying trails for good pathfinding for the tribe
*Some other chucklefuck sees the bones stack up more than 3 and he pounces on our tribal stash and starts churning god knows what

At least the guy who makes an axe first usually has the surgical Legion souls in mind for the group.

Since we're on about Ashwalkers...

When you get a round with a rare perfect start (Legion tendril to farm relatively near), have about 15+ eggs for the greatest WAAAGH!! the station will ever know... And no one spawns in despite the round type not needing ghosts/entertaining to watch for ghosts.

Ashwalkers who KILL that very perfect Legion tendril so they can get a trash-tier chest

When you actually DO get a massive tribe, despite screaming for a WAAAGH!! and laying down a sandstone block trail to the mining base that even the dumbest halfwit could follow, half your tribe still manages to fuck off whereever and you get a tiny invasion force. I've yet to see an invasion go over 4 Ashwalkers.

False.
I was caught in the blast.

It didn't take a single limb off of me, shrapnel damage was minimal, and thanks to bartender magic I was autohealing. An engineer dragged me out of the breach and I was back to full health in 30 seconds, and even that wouldn't have been needed if it weren't for my shitty connection.

I must admit I did speed-clone someone who ended up with no lungs but I fixed the problem ASAP by harvesting the lungs from their old corpse.

Everyone gives me dirty looks for harvesting body parts and blood from the discarded corpses of cloned people

the term "powergamer" seriously pisses me off, it is a buzzword amongst buzzwords.

like seriously, if its a traitorling with adrenals/double esword/fleshmend then you can start complaining a bit, but 99.99% of the time people use the phrase it is a huge case of the gitguds

2 examples:
>people whining and bitching in deadchat about dying to cyrostings
>this had been going on for a long time and deaths due to it were piling up
>"ugh gosh its so op there's literally no counter it needs to be removed"
>hey guys why not just drink some coffee/stand under a cold shower/slap some burn heals on for a minute or two? that'l fix it right up
>"wow that is so fucking powergamey sorry im not as big a shitter as you"

>play as RD on blob round
>immediately kick rnd into overdrive
>scream into comms/pda/use RD announcer to tell cargo to get combat shotguns
>other crew tell them to do it too
>have everything i need but the guns
>go to cargo to pick them up

>me and a bunch of others grill the dude in post-round OOC
>"i didnt know im new to cargo"
>dude at LEAST five different people were telling you to do this repeatedly, if we had x-rays we couldve won
>"x-rays are so powergamey, stop being powergamers idiots"

objective knowledge about game mechanics is NOT powergaming, and if you unironically use this phrase i can bet money you just got your shit kicked in and are using it to whine. use of this phrase is the easiest way to spot shitters / people who need to get fucking good.

There's no winning against people who shout powergaming. They rarely if ever have a good point and most of them are whiny bitches. Using x-rays is not powergaming, it's the accepted way to fight a blob.
