Stupid Reasons We've Seen For Calling The Shuttle
Requiring people to state their reason for calling the shuttle is a good idea, as it then means that stupid reasons can cause Nanotrasen (this means you, admins) to step in and dickslap the person responsible. Unfortunately, that dickslapping rarely seems to occur, allowing gleeful shuttlerushing for antag rerolling to occur, and making endgame content practically impossible to see anymore. The vast majority of the time, the station is intact, and the server's got plenty of time to rub its hands together and add some more antagonists before it's rudely interrupted.
Post your highlights here. I'll keep adding more as I find them or remember them. I'll start this off; as of 26/07/2017, they'll be coloured red if they ended the round, and green if they didn't (left black if unsure/can't remember).

Re: Stupid Reasons We've Seen For Calling The Shuttle
Literally "I stubbed my toe."
On the other hand, a valid reason to call and I got yelled at for it in OOC: "AI rogue, N2O flooded, multiple bomb breaches, engineers too incompetent to fix."
It's always a satisfying feeling when you manage to keep a round going for an hour or two as HoS though, last night we had a good group of heads, especially engineering, and the round last 1.5-2 hours before some nonantag BoH bombed us.

Anyway, back on topic. Pretty much anything involving "valids secured" is pretty stupid, or when the AI has to call it because a random assistant told it to and nobody bothers to recall it.

Far too many times has the shuttle been called because of nukies, after all the nukies have been killed and minimal damage was dealt to the station.

Re: Stupid Reasons We've Seen For Calling The Shuttle
Eh, nuke ops at least makes sense in game. The station just came under attack by military operatives attempting to kill the entire crew via nuclear bomb. It makes sense that even if the threat was fought off that the crew would evac anyway in case of any other attackers.Qbopper wrote:MrAlphonzo wrote:Far too many times has the shuttle been called because of nukies, after all the nukies have been killed and minimal damage was dealt to the station. because the valids are gone and we want to roll for antag again

Re: Stupid Reasons We've Seen For Calling The Shuttle
The merciful clown one isn't stupid. Maybe funny, but it's also a very good reason to call it. If I'm in a murderbone, I try and call it once heads/sec is dead. Calling the shuttle is also merciful to everyone involved once the conversion antagonists are pretty much fucked. Like at that point it's just mopup and making the executed ones wait longer.

Re: Stupid Reasons We've Seen For Calling The Shuttle
That seems like kinda a huge code problem. Reminds me of WoW at the end of Mist of Pandaria where they reached the engine limit for being able to calculate HP so they ended up making the final boss fight of the instance technically use 3 different mobs so they could give them enough HP.kevinz000 wrote:if only 2 hour roudns were possible, timers just break after a million as it becomes scientific notation..

Re: Stupid Reasons We've Seen For Calling The Shuttle
We enforced it as a code standard, Dorsis.
so the amount of them skyrocketed.
There's a PR up that tells byond to render the numbers in a higher amount of significant figures, which won't fix the issue but will mean it'd take a round 24 hours long to run out of timers.
Instead of around 2 hours now.

Re: Stupid Reasons We've Seen For Calling The Shuttle
I find the problem is more when the station's falling apart, has large holes in it, someone's murderboning everywhere and power's going out, and the engineers are all absent or incompetent, people constantly cry 'RECALL WE CAN FIX IT' and do nothing to actually fix anything.

Re: Stupid Reasons We've Seen For Calling The Shuttle
I personally see the opposite problem in practically every round - the station's often in a better condition than it started in, but there's a hole somewhere and nobody wants to bother actually slapping down one set of rods and one floortile.
GAME OVER, I DON'T WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE AND THEREFORE ALL THE REST OF YOU HAVE TO STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING BECAUSE I SAID SO.
It's so disappointing. Especially since I'm running out of memories of the times when rounds were fairly consistently around 2 hours.
EDIT: Just had a round where Memename McGrifsistant wandered into the station, looked around and promptly caused a shuttle call. What is the point?

We've had some longer rounds on Basil over the weekend where much was done, antags reoccured, and the station rose up to fight them before going home.

Re: Stupid Reasons We've Seen For Calling The Shuttle
Most of the time these reasons are because some asshole recalls the shuttle and they're too lazy to type the same reason again.This can be especially annoying when someone builds a shuttle console or has TK. I once recalled a shuttle as a geneticist ling with TK only to have the shuttle call reason be "fuck you TK faggot" afterwards.

Frankly, I think admins should step in as an irritable Centcom and recall the shuttle if stupid reasons for calling the shuttle are given. It'd make it an in-game response, heighten drama a little (and give opportunities for funny responses), and help to kerb the shuttle being called on red alert as soon as it's fuelled. making the 35 minute round more likely to die a death like it should.

I used to send announcements to criticize stupid shuttle reasons, and if a recall war started, remind the crew how expensive it was to fuel, and refuel the shuttle over and over again. Action taken against repeat offenders in the same round usually had escalating hilarity.

Re: Stupid Reasons We've Seen For Calling The Shuttle
I can appreciate this. Shuttle calling is WAY too trigger happy on sybil. I'd like to see this happen but that requires effort. A little bit of admin intervention to stop shitty shuttle calls for like first signs of cult or some emagged doors could definitely be helped for a force recall, similar to how admins will call the shuttle for the crew when it's beyond fucked.AnonymousNow wrote:On the contrary, the majority of these are first instances.CitrusGender wrote:Most of the time these reasons are because some asshole recalls the shuttle and they're too lazy to type the same reason again.This can be especially annoying when someone builds a shuttle console or has TK.

Just had a test of Clockcult "cucked" by people immediately calling the shuttle because it was on Cerestation. Too many suicides and people just waiting for the shuttle does not a representative round make.

Re: Stupid Reasons We've Seen For Calling The Shuttle
I was thinking today, would people be in favor of increased fueling time? It seems to be a common complaint people have, many departments have an end-game that you have to work towards to be able to receive any of the fun benefits of the given job. An increased fueling time would facilitate longer rounds, force the crew to actually try to hold the station together.
To account for the fringe cases of needing to call the shuttle early on (meteors, mass bombings) you could have red alert split the difference in the new time.
For example, up the fueling time by ten minutes but have shifting to red alert take either a percentage or a flat rate off of what time (if any) remains.

Engineering: No endgame on the exception of a construction project that rarely happensHulkamania wrote:I was thinking today, would people be in favor of increased fueling time? It seems to be a common complaint people have, many departments have an end-game that you have to work towards to be able to receive any of the fun benefits of the given job.
Security: No endgame
Service: No endgame
Command: No endgame
Medical: No endgame
Supply: Points for crates and the ordering of the station equipment that is needed to get the greentext, other than that it just depends on how fast Mining is
Science: Literally everything involving progression, usually game over if bombed
There's a lot of reworks that need to be done to accommodate for this, for example, 12:20 is a perfect time because it leaves the station with ~6 minutes before they can call the shuttle in the event of nuke ops raiding the station without declaring war, and sometimes heads die before two people are able to swipe for red.Hulkamania wrote: An increased fueling time would facilitate longer rounds, force the crew to actually try to hold the station together.

Re: Stupid Reasons We've Seen For Calling The Shuttle
oh
i have 1 more
but first, backstory:
i was playing as the HoP.
I got into the captain's office and made this announcement(after logging in with an all-access pass, of course):
Captain's Announcement:
Everything's gone to shit. Accept it.
(bear in mind at the time everything kinda was going to shit)
this was kinda meant as a oneoff joke, since the captain was Bryce Jackson and we all know how he loves to speak loudly LIKE THIS whenever he's a captain/head/person he can talk loudly as
le few mins later:

Re: Stupid Reasons We've Seen For Calling The Shuttle
That announcement wasn't me and that shuttle call wasn't me, it was one of the assistants from the short bus who stole all access and pretended to be me
Im pretty sure that same round I specified that but didnt want to recall because it was actually shit, like nobody wants to deal with greyshits with all access along with whatever else was going on
EDIT nevermind

Most of these reasons seem perfectly standard to me, somehow?
It would appear that I'm a high RP weeb who hates roleplay and anime.

If you mean standard as in sensible, you're terrible.
