LINGS ARE NOT TEAM ANTAGS

The very nature of having an exclusive role-based chat amongst themselves makes them as a much of a pseudo-team as can be, with the cusp ending in that for the 'solo' modes there's 'these objectives that you yourself have to do.' And yeah, you can do 'what you want' as an antag (though there's factors like ling lore, the principles of antagonism, game intentions and balance could probably do with a policy discussion as of late).

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.

Oh no, don't get me wrong I think that ling's a complete dick. I just get so many ahelps about team lings and it's always fun to give them the bad news

next ling gimmick: find the kind of sec players who take a ling's word as gospel and just give them the names of completely innocent people to be murdered and incinerated

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.

When people assume you're an idiot and take over your job, and are far worse at it than you are.

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 will get you next time, Gadget. NEXT TIME.

Ask for a drink, I was preparing toxins special at the time.

My lord I want to slap these people.

well, from what i've been told these usually are the people who are on admin watchlists, so they will get slapped eventually

when geneticists eject you from cloning without lungs and stick you in cryo without clonexadone so you're stuck inside for fifteen minutes waiting for when you can be ejected and suffocate to death

Some people have yet to catch onto speed-cloning to be ill-advised

Also health scanners should give an alert notification when an organ is missing, like the reagent mode saying when the patient is ODing on a chem

bonus points for when the geneticist shrugs and says "you'd better go find a doctor to put some lungs in then" and walks off

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

get off my board

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:

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.

When you just serve up a big platter of weird-ass food, including recipes you needed outside help with, and the round immediately ends.
