When and where this incident occured (Game Server, forums, Discord): Sybil
Byond account and character name OR Discord name: Omega_DarkPotato
Admin: Cyberboss (headcoder, not admeme)
ROUND ID HERE IF APPLICABLE: 149758
Detailed summary:
Near the start of the round, everyone got a centcom alert that due to a "supernova exploding a few lightyears away", an EMP would be hitting the entire station. Seconds later, all lights get blown, and the station's plunged into darkness. Ten minutes or so later, centcom lets us know that they have an "experimental bluespace solution" to what wasn't an EMP and was actually more along the lines of "we're just going to blow all your lightbulbs."

Nobody takes it because they said it would have possible side effects.


Ten minutes later, centcom reminds us because apparently cyberboss wanted to fuck with us because hurr durr its your fault for accepting despite the very obvious consequences that you'll get after accepting this


It gets accepted either by us or centcom, who knows, and then suddenly "massive bluespace translocation" starts getting spammed in. 26 in total! Very funny. Hilarious event. Love it when my workspace gets forcibly tossed into who the fuck knows where. Love it when EVERYONE's workspace gets forcibly tossed into who the fuck knows where. Love it when that happens 26 fucking times.

This isn't huge, in terms of "how bad can adminbus be", but it's certainly not an event nor is it in any way enjoyable. Spamming anomalies in the kitchen, library, chemistry, maybe that's ok sure whatever I guess but spamming 26 bluespace translocations within 5 minutes is just agony.

A bit more restraint from those pressing the funny buttons would be enjoyed.

Yeah that's my bad. I was under the impression that bluespace anomalies created a single portal each. Boy howdy was I wrong.

And your commanders did in fact accept that offer.

Well, I guess that's all I can really ask for - the noise spam and getting punted into chemistry was annoying, but the round ended shortly after anyway. Thank you for responding so rapidly too.

Seems to have been just an error made not in bad faith and this complaint looks to be resolved between you two. I'll be locking this up.
