Wasn't that hidden already?

No? You can hit who in lobby and see the list of players, then compare it to the PDA list when round starts.

The possibility of someone jumping hoops to exploit information to possibly guess the game mode should not prohibit the development of interesting features.

Why not just add a button that tells you a randomly selected roundtype that is not the current one.

is it really that difficult to imagine just giving the lobby mobs the user's ckey for a name instead of their IC name or something similar

I mean I guess that works if you want to strip out any idea of "pre-round RP" or whatever flimsy excuse is being used to promote this waste of time?

what even is the current reasons being proposed other than "pubg/my favorite gmod server/some other station has it"?

Please no ckeys, there is no naming policy for them.

what

why does the name policy matter here

Because I imagine people frolicking around with names such as xXxTHuNd3RN1Gg3RxXx and it isn't pleasant even if it's just for a few minutes

the people you are playing with have these names while they're playing anyways

it's no different than how in OOC before the round starts you see everyone talk

A pure chat is different from actual 2D sprites of space people doing things in context and talking with those names, at least for me.

you could use runtime station as the lobby lads

time is a flat circle, at last I see the truth of CHIM, there is only the tower

okay you fucking brainlets, since you didn't get the coded message.

This used to exist, and fucking sucked, so it was removed

When, I've never heard of this existing at any time anywhere.

that's because you're a newfag

With deadchat being mostly gone thanks to ghost roles, I think OOC is essentially the last place where any sense of community can be formed among the players, and being able to shoot the shit is a lot more valuable IMO than 120 seconds of random murder before the next round starts. It's also a good time to discuss the previous round, and even if not everybody participates in the pregame murder fest, the quality of OOC chatting would still be decreased.

If you think deadchat is gone from ghost roles, you are really out of touch.

If you don't see the clear difference in deadchat pre and post-ghost roles, you are really out of touch.

This isn't how CHIM works

the truth isn't that there's one tower, it's that the wheel (aurbis) when viewed from the side forms the tower, and the tower is the letter I, because there is only one "true" being which is the godhead and everything else is a fragment of its own psyche. the secret of the tower is realizing you are a fragment of the godhead but being able to individuate in spite of the fact that you are not an individual being.

THis is a TES metaphysics thread now

/me discovers the truth and zero-sum's out of existence

You're not supposed to reveal it, it has to be discovered.

CHIM only scratches the surface of the retarded and insane metaphysics shit in TES
