It might not stick if he incidentally got an emag from someone dropping it or finding it, but since he actively went out of his way to grab it from the brig to do this I think he's probably pretty boned.CMDR_Gungnir wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 6:51 pm I'm not really happy with this ban.
I know that the sheer level of notes and bans acquired is what made this situation a perma, but even with that in consideration, I don't think it's enough to stick. As you say, bound to happen eventually, but that's why I think the patience should've been had.
Most people DON'T know what e-magging shield sats does. I certainly don't. And there's an argument to be made that while a lot of e-mag things are bad (Beepsky, Medibots, etc) some are Good Actually (chemistry, bar).
Be interesting to see how it goes, I suppose. If it DOES get overturned, I do expect we'll be back here in a week.
Regardless of how this resolves... sigh... it's time for another one of THOSE prs.CMDR_Gungnir wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 6:51 pm I'm not really happy with this ban.

Quite possibly. But "Permaban: E-magged something and said he didn't know what it did" feels pretty shaky.BrolyButterfingers wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 6:54 pm It might not stick if he incidentally got an emag from someone dropping it or finding it, but since he actively went out of his way to grab it from the brig to do this I think he's probably pretty boned.
Which one this time?

What? He read the wiki but thought it was probably just wrong? For no reason? What did he think it would do otherwise? He thought they did in the past but didn't anymore because?DevinXoptoh wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 5:50 pm however, it was not to my knowledge that emagging the shield sats actually still caused meteors to have a higher chance of happening, I thought it was old code due to the outdated wiki.

Well, I was GOING to clarify with an examine what the emagged sat was doing but whooop de doo it plainly says exactly what it does when you emag it
This peanut is delightfully spicy already, I look forward to seeing how it's developed when I wake up.Armhulen wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 7:05 pmWell, I was GOING to clarify with an examine what the emagged sat was doing but whooop de doo it plainly says exactly what it does when you emag it
This is the funniest part of the ban appeal because every emagged sat doubles the chances.DevinXoptoh wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 5:50 pm I would like to add that I honestly think that me emagging 2 sats rather than maias 14, wouldnt do much, I've had a look at the code, and I might be bad at maths, but out of the total shield sats that we had, 14 is more significant, yes I raised the number slightly, but it should not of impacted it as much as it comes across.@
Code: Select all
/obj/machinery/satellite/meteor_shield/proc/change_meteor_chance(mod)
// Update the weight of all meteor events
for(var/datum/round_event_control/meteor_wave/meteors in SSevents.control)
meteors.weight *= mod
for(var/datum/round_event_control/stray_meteor/stray_meteor in SSevents.control)
stray_meteor.weight *= mod
I had no message showing this.
Thanks, Really appreciate having people just outright judge my character from an online top down space simulator, really makes me feel great about myself.Fren256 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 6:14 pm viewtopic.php?f=7&t=33698
It was bound to happen, eventually.
According to the code,Armhulen wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 7:17 pm let's say the weight to spawn meteors when an event is supposed to run is 1. when you emag, turning the sat on or off doubles or halves the weight because emagging lets you mess with the meteor spawn rate.
Maia's actions: 1 * (2^14) = 16384 weight total (what the fuck)
Chip's actions: 16384 * (2^2) = 65536 weight total (what the FUCK)
Hi,
This is simply because the wiki is very, unreliable on what is true or not,Sightld2 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 7:04 pmI think the Kicker is this lineCMDR_Gungnir wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 6:51 pm Most people DON'T know what e-magging shield sats does.

Just to make it clear, that message did not show on either sat,
Just to make it clear, I heard rumors that emagging the grav gen caused the meteors, not the sats, I had no clear idea what was which consequence from emagging eitherCMDR_Gungnir wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 6:51 pm I'm not really happy with this ban.

You're welcome
genuinely?
the sacred octuple post
Then why did you do it if you genuinely didn't think it would do anything?
I genuinely did it as a complete joke, thinking it did nothing, In retrospect I should of just said I did it if that makes sense?
I was joking with the HOS, Kat Blu, that it would "boost their power"
The complete ban note:EmpressMaia wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 8:16 pm This seems a bit extreme but thats without view of their entire ban/note history
As a non-antagonist chief engineer, took an emag from the brig and emagged a meteor shield sattelite on round 202580. When confronted about this, claimed it was out of curiosity and that they did not know it would increase the chance of meteors. Has many recent notes, some including random bombings, and a few bans during this month as well.
I learnt alot of my engineering ICly, mostly from one/two people and had to handle the rest on my own.Constellado wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 8:21 pm Huh I thought most engineers knew that. Either way- the fact he broke into the brig to get an emag as a non antag CE is pretty shit for an MRP server in my opinion. Did he just break in and enter? Was it just sitting there on an easy to access table? Or did he ask for it? Using contraband as sec is already a nono, but using it as a CE? That has to be way worse. The only way I see it being okay maybe is if somebody went to him asking to get something like a bar vendor emagged.
The BSA needs an emagged state. It could go: Blam! Blows target and the user up.DevinXoptoh wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 8:24 pm

I rarely get antag and when I do, I wouldn't even think that the sats do anything, the vault doesnt, the bsa doesnt, so why would the sats?
yeah I get taking the emag is an issue, but thats a whole other discussion that needs sorting if the water ever gets to itConstellado wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 8:37 pmThe BSA needs an emagged state. It could go: Blam! Blows target and the user up.DevinXoptoh wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 8:24 pm

Even if that is true the issue of taking the emag from sec still stands.
given that meteor shields dont "stop functioning" when emagged, they still destroy meteors,
Again, this is the first time I have ever seen the sats actually be emagged in like, 4 years of playing this game/codebaseTheSmallBlue wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 8:44 pm Who could've known that the item used for station sabotage, when used as intended, would cause station sabotage! Such a shocker!
But why couldn't you just have waited until you were an antag to get your hands on one? Why of all things did you use it on a round where you were a totally normal crewmember? The CE shouldn't be rummaging around security's scraps, let alone sabotaging the station with them.DevinXoptoh wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 9:04 pm Again, this is the first time I have ever seen the sats actually be emagged in like, 4 years of playing this game/codebase
Honestly? Because I am an absolute idiot, and very clearly from some peoples opinions, a dumbass etc. I aqquired one to use it as a joke, to give security something to do, they had caught like, a lot of the antags (who then, somehow hijacked, but that wasnt my fault as I had died)AsbestosSniffer wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 9:08 pmBut why couldn't you just have waited until you were an antag to get your hands on one?

I honestly thought meteor shields didn't even workDevinXoptoh wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 8:39 pmgiven that meteor shields dont "stop functioning" when emagged, they still destroy meteors,
emagging them just increases the weight, no extra damage was caused by the catastrophic that came after my emagging.
it is literally a jumpscare thing to command for a fast evac incase they do fail, but if I recall properly, I purchased 7 boxes of sats, each with 3 in
this is what I mean, sats are so obscure on what they actually do, I genuinely had no clue they had an emag state.chocolate_bickie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 9:16 pmI honestly thought meteor shields didn't even workDevinXoptoh wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 8:39 pmgiven that meteor shields dont "stop functioning" when emagged, they still destroy meteors,
