All of security chasing after one assistant and failing, not because he's done anything wrong, but because he's a memetic badass and sec deliberately fucks with him in the hopes they can be the one who beat Burer

(Spoiler alert Officer Friendly is the one who beat Burer, because i said "hey man you're really good at this" and flashed the dual taser wielding madman while he was trying to respond)

ok retard the word robust doesnt mean "skilled", the whole combat system is based on exploits and dickery. if you 're not robusting dirty you're not robusting. there's no honor among greysuits

There is no honor but there are things considered so taboo you don't openly admit it, because it brands you as someone you shoot on sight rather than give the time of day. You only bring the experience of the game as a whole by doing it, and you only open yourself to getting meta'd if you do that shit too often. That's why people don't admit to doing it.

Not like you aren't already known for being a stain but the fact you gloating about this is really damn lacking in self-awareness. Good lord man.

i literally said in my post that i didnt shoot on sight, i roleplayed by appealing to his ego and then bopping him. Sorry i'll be more like the admins preferred type of player and silently roll around the station looking for someone to spam left clicks on without getting in trouble rather than doing my job

idk why anne is so up in arms, typebaiting is literally a gambit, especially vs a guy who is murderboning. if you sit there and type to bait someone into responding you are opening yourself up to equal punishment for standing still and using your keyboard (unless of course you are a based legacy controls player who can move and type at the same time).

The height of this was witnessing seven security officers try to kill him over and over again while he kept using the revive function on himself till they just gave up and welded him in a locker and threw it into space.

A good while, it worked out mostly because he didn't play that often due to his work schedule. I don't think it really became an issue until he got more free time to play and people got fed up real fuckin' quick.

I'm bringing it back baby, 2023:
- Cargo Tesla
- All Access being a thing
- Outrunning explosions as the wave of the station blowing up chased you
- Guns fitting into backpacks and the warden being a one man armoury
- The ssethtide (I don't think such a large explosion of the playerbase will ever come again)

I know these are more recent changes (in the grand scope of things) but I hope you'll bring something up I forgot and wasn't mentioned yet.

I know this is a weird one, but I miss that specific version of gangs where all you had to do was tag a wall and then put down the GANG MACHINE once you tagged enough walls, and all the other gangs were doing the same shit. It was fun.
Also:
-Lord Singuloth (Obviously)
-Shadowling
-Science when all you had to do was deconstruct a series of random items in a specific order (Now you have to construct a series of items in a specific order, what has the world come to?!)
-Xenobio before the console
-Bagil having more than 25 players
-Classic Boxstation (Icebox is cool too but multi-z is scary)
-Mutation Toxins for every species
-Hybrid Tazers
-Cloning
A lot of the stuff had questionable effects on the game itself but it's what I remember when I was learning the game, so it will always be peak SS13 to me.
Please bring back Lord Singuloth as a station project or something though.
