Secure Arrivals Docking Port

[Super Aggro Crag]

Boy one thing that really ticks me off is when you latejoin as a Security Man, or a Head of Staff, and, boy howdy, the station announcements announce you just arrived, and holy doodie poo, you get ambushed by three revs/ gangsters/ new cops/ holoparasites before you even pass the potted plants

Maybe the brig could have a tiny little arrivals pod for Security/Head positions, so they have an opportunity to get equipped/abreast of the situation before immediately getting shit upon 30 seconds into their life.

[Lumbermancer]

Camping arrivals shuttle as antag is against the rools.

[Super Aggro Crag]

admins don't enforce the rules because they're too busy hammering buttons and shitposting on singulo and any shitler can say "i wasn't camping, i saw the announcement and ran there, prove i was camping you fucking SHIT, fucking admin abuse, I'm telling the forums you're a god damn doo doo head, stop bwoinking me, oranges let me shitpost on singulo about how the admin has a small weiner"

[NikNakFlak]

Have you considered that maybe you should get gud and stop being a salty baby?

[Super Aggro Crag]

i dunno niknak from what iv'e seen basically every decision that's ever been made to balance this game has been the result of someone refusing to get good and crying about it until something got removed or buffed.

that or goofball/paprika not getting enough attention and deciding to ruin something so they can sustain themselves off the negativity directed at them

FYI if I catch conversion antags camping Arrivals. I'll first send a warning to people doing it. Next is a Central Command message IC-ly stating to knock that shit off or there'll be trouble.

After that comes the ERT.

[Super Aggro Crag]

so three people need to die before you actually take action, and not even a ban, but spawning loot pinatas?

do you not see why this kind of thing is really irritating to people who might want to play sec or a head latejoin?

Except this isn't an IC matter, its a ban them so they fuck off and read the rules matter.

[Super Aggro Crag]

i agree with saegrimr

I meant to say if it's not just one or two people but the whole team that's doing it. I can't exactly ban the entire cult otherwise the round would stop dead, maybe I could give them antag bans that start after the round but actual bans would throw the baby out with the bathwater in my eyes. If it's just one or two shitters that's doing it, then yeah it's the ban hammer I'll use instead.

Sure you can, just be sure to mash "spawn wizard" to get things rolling again.

[lumipharon]

But you don't even need to 'camp arrivals' though?
99% of people will go straight down the corridor - that's enough time for 50% of the crew to intercept and murder/convert/molest them, before they can do jack shit.

[Super Aggro Crag]

yeah which makes it unfun to latejoin

I think that's why SAC suggested sec and heads late spawn in a security arrivals area in the brig.

[Super Aggro Crag]

yes steelpoint gets it

[Xhagi]

Rev is always a shitshow and when a head arrives late I feel torn if they get jumped right off because yea it's shit to do that but on the other hand it's literally the revs objective. Because at the same time it's kinda silly to tell revs "let the CMO be told it's revs over command as soon as they get to arrivals and then over to the armory to suit up with armor and eguns then it's k." Please note this only applies to heads.

Any other game mode the antag can fuck off if they're camping arrivals.

+1 to secure arrivals Crag is right again.

Rushing to arrivals as soon as you hear the announcement is one thing, chilling out and waiting for people to spawn is what gets people thrown out.
This goes the same for plasma flooding/bombing it for the sake of bombing it.
I mean shit happens and carp/machines/singulo/meteors/spiders hanging around do happen, and that's unfortunate, but not a player problem.

[Screemonster]

Map more than one spawn point in attached to various public parts of the station and make it a guessing game as to which one the latejoiners randomly arrived at.

[iamgoofball]

crag is correct once again
