It was bound to happen, eventually.

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.

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.

Quite possibly. But "Permaban: E-magged something and said he didn't know what it did" feels pretty shaky.

Then again, CE steals Contraband from the Brig and then uses it on things without knowing what it does is a bit stickier. As I said. Be interesting to see, and we'll be here again next week if it doesn't.

Lets add some more spice:
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.@
This is the funniest part of the ban appeal because every emagged sat doubles the chances.

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
So chip, being the last person to emag meteor shields, quadrupled the chances AFTER all the previous chance multiplication. Which means that he did technically add more meteor spawn chance than Maias

Re: Chip Shitfest peanut

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)

I had no message showing this.

Its disgustingly discrete on how it is shown to be emagged

According to the code,

its expontential.
Also shown by logs, a catastrophic and other waves had already hit the station before I had even emagged the sats

Hi,
I genuinely thought the emagging the sats was a complete myth, given that, whenever there is shield sats, people dont rush emagging them all the time, as meteors, as proven, are quite round ending and force a red alert shuttle.
The shield sats, even when emagged, still "shoot" down the meteors that are on course for the station, not alot hit from either catastrophic wave

This is simply because the wiki is very, unreliable on what is true or not,
Alot of things are outdated, such as the cult guide as stated, aswell as a few other things either being incomplete, or based off OLD runs of gamemodes etc.

Just to make it clear, that message did not show on either sat,
I believe you have to MULTITOOL it to see that it is in debug mode, which, is very obscure

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 either

Nothing.
I honestly thought it was a complete myth and have clearly been proven wrong as the sats are either called "useless objectives" or a waste of time by alot of engineering mains,
Ever since I started playing ss13 back in, god end of 2019? ive NEVER heard of them being emagged till this incident.
I was JOKING that it would "boost them" as there was a shitload of meteors before this issue took place

Obvious bad faith grief with a 5 year old's excuse. Who in their right mind would actively seek getting an emag, then assist a traitor in emagging meteor shields as a nonantag? What were they expecting? Confetti?

The complete ban note:
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.

Maybe the meteor shield really doesn't send that message when you emag it. Could be a bug? It's at least worth testing in game

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.

I learnt alot of my engineering ICly, mostly from one/two people and had to handle the rest on my own.
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?

The BSA needs an emagged state. It could go: Blam! Blows target and the user up.

Even if that is true the issue of taking the emag from sec still stands.

emagging them just increases the weight, no extra damage was caused by the catastrophic that came after my emagging.

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.

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)
Me and the HOS had a chase around, a few shove fights, that was it, it was just a bit of drama to the shift if that makes sense

this is what I mean, sats are so obscure on what they actually do, I genuinely had no clue they had an emag state.
I know they work, simply from actually seeing them work ICly
