Bottom post of the previous page:

When people attack other people who are visibly armed and armored. When an assistant tries to disarmspam the QM, who is wearing Ablative, Baton, and Combat Shotgun, all three of which are highly visible on the sprite.

I mean c'mon. There's a point at which you start to cross into darwin award territory, and attacking someone wearing a giant fucking shotgun is pretty far past that.

You imply people have attachments to their 2d sprite and care.

Well, yeah, but this is still technically a light RP server. SPEAKING OF
When people OOC in IC. Saying 'Round' I can deal with, but emotes, "I'm adminhelping you", not having a last name, talking in all lowers, barely talking at all, all those little things that add up to that player not really giving a shit about RP.

This is /tg/station - The slashes are right there in the title. They're important, stop forgetting them. Our parent community is /tg/ - Traditional Games, a board on 4chan dedicated to various card games, war games and tabletop RPGs. Our board culture involves neckbeards, 'That Guy', and (often) an attitude similar to 'We're all here to have fun'. If you're not from /tg/, that's fine (Mostly, I'll still sneer at you but I'm an elitist fuck), but if you're not going to pay any respect to our culture and values?
If you're coming here, to a light/medium RP server and not even bothering to flesh out your character enough to have a last-fucking-name?

Get the fuck outta here, we don't want your kind.

Posted: **Fri Jun 06, 2014 9:15 am**

Or maybe you could fuck off and stop acting as if having a last name is indicative of whether or not a character is good or not.
There are people who are born without last names or change their names to remove their surname, and there's quite a few existing cultures that don't even have a concept of last names. 500 years from now in space I'm fairly certain the number of those cultures as well as the number of people from the first category is much larger.

Posted: **Fri Jun 06, 2014 9:30 am**

Also, in tabletop games, RPing is how you get shit done. In SS13, RPing will prevent you from getting shit done.

Name these cultures. I'm not being antagonistic I'm legit interested, google can't find me anything credible.

Posted: **Fri Jun 06, 2014 12:43 pm**

QMs with more guns then the armory.
Engineers who fuck off with hardsuits.
Engineers who have stunprods fnr.
People adminhelping non specific things as if we see and watch absolutely everything.
Security going out of their way to dick someone over.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mononymous ... dern_times
I may have been exaggerating a small bit, however an uninformed guess would say that there's many smaller/more primitive cultures that aren't mentioned. I can't find anything that indicates that Native Americans used surnames, either.
That doesn't really mean anything though, since the argument that a character has to have a full name is in itself stupid. Trying to say they have to come from some exotic culture to justify having a mononymous name is just as stupid.

Posted: **Sat Jun 07, 2014 5:17 pm**

Not having a last name alone isn't too bad but it's one of the things that make a character bad.

For example there's a really cool roboticist who goes by the name Steve, no surname and he's a p cool guy, treats borgs with respect.

I could get behind this. Maybe he's just "Steve." Maybe he wants to keep his name hidden or has some sort of special protection.
Maybe his parents were stricken from record and his family exiled from wherever the fuck he came from.
In the end, he's Steve.

Posted: **Sat Jun 07, 2014 7:51 pm**

maybe steve is actually his last name

Posted: **Sat Jun 07, 2014 8:31 pm**

Maybe he's St E. Ve

These two in particular. We do, in a way, have ACCESS to almost all the info in a round but we're usually just ghost observing or playing as a normal crewman or whatever, we don't see shit that happens across the map directly. Ahelps like 'Was that valid?' are probably the worst. I dunno if it's common knowledge but there's actually a cool thing coders did so if you say a name in an adminhelp we can bring up information about that person instantly, with one click, which is why we ALWAYS ask for names whenever possible. And details. Tell us who did it, and tell us WHAT THEY DID.

And the other one, yeah. Security's an incredibly stressful job but just being a dick is never cool, and if you have authority/guns to do it, it's worse than the Botanist being a shit or whatever. Shameful display.

For myself:

The 'icky ocky' meme has gotten really tiresome.

Job starts that require you to gear up a lot. I like Engineering stuff and am decent at it but man, CE possibly has to get more shit sorted out, equipped, etc, than almost anybody else. Made worse by that fucking worthless bad-looking hardhat, which actively interferes with putting on the elite rigsuit helmet. Hm. Is it possible to implement a system where if you try to equip a helmet but have one already on, you swap them rather than placing it in your pack or some shit? Security jobs also have lots of stuff to sort out, get in pockets and belts, weaponry, gadgets, etc. I know why we need to, but it's still tedium.

The new announcement sounds bother me for some reason. Especially the chime. Cool idea, but I dunno why, it just really bugs me. Perhaps the volume's a bit too high compared with other sounds?

The worst thing is I have to open my belt to get rid of that useless sec light so I have space for my: flash, flashbang, cuffs, baton, extra cuffs/(flashbang if HoS)

Remember when the belt used to be at the bottom on the pile?
Thank fuck I changed its order so they're at the top

When people are dicks in general. The worst part is it almost always ends up making things harder and less convenient for everyone involved.

Posted: **Mon Jun 09, 2014 7:00 pm**

When all of the departments are severely understaffed and someone signs up as assistant. This happens more often than I could count.

Alternatively, people who join a lowpop round >1 hour in with no engineers and wonder why the engine isn't set up.

What. Do people actually consider the seclite bothersome? I love it, personally. Besides, a set of cuffs and your flash are supposed to go in your pocket.

Shitlers who think it's their God-given right to have full powers from genetics, and start breaking in when they don't get what they want.

Shitlers who wander in and loot shit from cloning.

Shitlers who scream "DO YOUR JOB" at genetics while simultaneously obstructing you from doing your job.

Posted: **Wed Jun 11, 2014 7:30 am**

Same thing for Virology, one round I managed to research a powerful virus (Standard Self Healing, Respiration, infinite running speed). I was planning to dish out injections to crew members but this one engineer, who was antsy, stunned me with a stun prod and used a syringe to steal my blood for himself.

People who murderbone on low pop rounds but don't have the decency to call the shuttle afterwards. I don't give a shit if you murder all 4 of your fellow crewmen but postponing the round fnr afterwards is lame as hell.

People who metagrudge.

Getting shoved or stunned by someone only because they want your sunglasses/hat/whatever.

Engineers who fuck off with the last suit helmet, and ONLY the helmet, to use as a welding visor.

Ew, the welding helmet is a much better fashion accessory than the shitty RIG helmets.

Fashion sense aside, it renders the remaining suit useless so nobody can do space repairs. Fuck people who do this.

When you're a nuke op and the team wants to bomb the armory.
Bonus points if everyone goes into the armory.

Posted: **Sun Jun 15, 2014 1:52 pm**

When you're a nuke op and you don't get a borg because you want to not rely on crutches this time but lose horribly because you don't have a borg.

Seriously, remove syndie borg's ability to interface with shit on the station, they're combat borgs and being emags but better because shocking/bolting doors is so bad.

Maybe syndies should get an emag for free.

Posted: **Sun Jun 15, 2014 2:29 pm**

I hate syndi borgs, its one of those things that makes the round fun for only one guy with a few other riding on his coat tails.

Posted: **Sun Jun 15, 2014 2:33 pm**

I think Syndi Borgs are a bit too much of a crutch for the Nuke Ops, I can attest to the effectiveness of a Syndi Borg when I played as one.

Just to recap, its immune to most forms of stun, has a 25k power cell, holds a Laser Gun, Ebow, Emag, Jetpack, Esword and other useful tools, its basically a new team member (20% increase in man power), it can open and unbolt any and all doors thus nullifying the AI.

Its just so effective for what its worth, 25 Telecrystals. There is no reason a Ops team should not at least buy one Syndi Borg for how overpowered it is. At least with a Mech you have to give up a team member to pilot it and it loses the usage of the Pinpointer/Friend-Foe ID system.

I really do agree that the Snydi Borg should lose its ability to interact with electronic devices, the Borg has the Emag for a reason aside from subverting other borgs.
