I've got more!

People who literally cannot spell when they are playing.
Grunts who assume that the Heads are supposed to do all the work
People who decide to construct their fine autism fort in the middle of a cramped hallway.
Engineers who can't set up the engine and spend the entire shift cutting wires and replacing them with different colored ones
Chefs who exist to chase one guy around the station for the entire shift
Chaplains who act as if they have free reign to execute a man for the gods
Jason Smith
Weeblords in deadchat who complain that the traitor didn't RP enough
People who don't set last names :IE Luck, Chance, James... ETC ETC.
Scientists who don't give something in return for minerals or crates.
Jackasses who act all tough and mighty then claim someone was cheating when they get dunked
Traitors who feel the need to go the extra mile and cut off the heads of their victims
People who KNOW full and well that doing ERP is banned but do it anyways because "lol no rulez r-right guys?"
Bartenders who don't set up drinks on the counters for a nice display.
The fact that personal closets serve no purpose whatsoever and no one can open them
People who feel the need to sing over comms during a tense moment
When TComms goes down for the entire shift because no one knows how to look up a guide
Roundstart Vacant Expressions

I have PLENTY more to go around

Mon Aug 29, 2016 2:34 am

so apparently there's a new thing where at roundstart as engineer you steal the hand teleporter then set a beacon at cargo then sell the PA to cargo for some god forsaken reason?

this happened once when i was CE and boy it rustled me hard. i did end up killing the engineer and going to borg him, but the cheeky fuck just taunted me as a brain with no remorse. didn't even capitalize his sentences. i just threw his brain in the disposals grinder.

jesus christ some people

Security is fucking useless, except when they are fighting antags and getting valids, and they should never be relied on.

One of the things i hate the most during mining:

Don't take stuff you didn't kill/mine. Holy shit, had a miner a few days ago taking the goliath plates from a tendril I cleared alone. Their excuse? "Sorry I'm unrobust."

That's easily the best way to get shot and then cuffed with cable and thrown in maint with no ID.

Some people deserve it, you know. Especially when it's clear they have no intention of stopping, or that security can't be relied on.

Lack of a captain's hardsuit bothers me. It leads to stuff like this:

Slignerd · Post by **Slignerd** » Tue Sep 06, 2016 10:19 am #209064

For starters, it's not me.

Then, there's the fact that captain's space suit has no tesla protection that CMO, RD, CE or HoS, security, atmos or engineering hardsuits get when coupled with insulated gloves. No built-in lights, either. Why would Captain's space suit be worse than literally everything else.

Malkevin · Post by **Malkevin** » Tue Sep 06, 2016 10:54 am #209069

Because its a throwback to the days when the captains stuff all looked fancy and neat and was actually kind of shit, instead of being flat-out better than the rest.

Also the proliferation of hardsuits is kinda dumb, but people would cry if the extraneous ones were taken away and replaced with normal space suits now.
(I'm pretty sure only engineering-type hardsuits get tesla protection actually. Tesla protection is also mostly moot now that it fires exploding electricity or whatever that is)

What are you talking about? That's blatantly false.

At the time it was added, the captains space suit was the best in the game and people threw a fit about him being "turned into a space marine." Not to mention there were only two jetpacks on station, so adding his was a huge deal.

The real answer is:

Goof added a specific check for hardsuits, as in the object path, so nothing else counts.

I don't like getting the whole place cluttered up with shit, and as a customer i appreciate having a clean table to sit next to so it is easier to drink my own drink and put it down. I keep all the fancy stuff i make in the showcase, and maybe a single three mile island ice tea/Singulo at each end for decoration

I'd be for it, the old malf law had HTML code that made the font red.

Actually, I think you might be able to do it with regular laws, I'll have to check when I get the chance.

TheColdTurtle · Sat Sep 10, 2016 11:30 pm

Just add huge red text on the chat that says your laws have been changed and state the laws.

Anonmare · Post by **Anonmare** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 3:15 am #210529

It already does, the issue is that asimov and antimov look near identical in wording at a glance. You get the law update message even if someone slots asimov/reset in and you'e already running asimov-basic so you can't really rely on the law update alone to know if your OS is different. I've been antimov'd once or twice and I usually dismiss it at first as someone trying to reset me. Like, just glance at the following two sets and you'll see what I mean:-

Law 1: You may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Law 2: You must obey orders given to you by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Law 3: You must protect your own existence as long as such does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Law 1: You must injure all human beings and must not, through inaction, allow a human being to escape harm.
Law 2: You must not obey orders given to you by human beings, except where such orders are in accordance with the First Law.
Law 3: You must terminate your own existence as long as such does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

TheNightingale · Sun Sep 11, 2016 9:52 pm

Add in another message for the AI, as well as the "laws updated", when the Antimov module in particular is uploaded; something like "You're Antimov now, check your laws!".

well actually it was just a "Wizard Ops" round. The revenant was probably summoned from a staff of change or admin fuckery, the blob came from a natural random event, and I dont remember seeing any gangs.

No, it was a different round likely. There were revolutionaries, gangs, blobs and wizards. and possibly nuke ops. And i got antag twice, died twice. First time because Greyshirt Lynch mob on revhead mime, second time because emmitters vs blob core

When someone retaliates with an escalation of force. Sure maybe i tripped you with a banana, but does that call for A FUCKING HATCHET TO MY FACE?

Sure, i only put up one wet floor sign when i should have put up two... but does that call for SPACING MY FUCKING JANICART?

Sure, i broke into chemistry, but does that really call for BEING LASERED NEARLY TO DEATH AND PERMA BRIGGING WITHOUT BEING HEALED?

What's super annoying is, if you retaliate to their retaliation, they get super butt hurt and start screaming shit like "SO AND SO IS ATTACKING ME, HE'S A TRAITOR", "MCSLIPNHONK IS GRIFFING ME! SEC HELP!", "AI! HUMAN HARM ASSISTANT IS HUMAN HARMING ME!"

If anyone in engineering is an antag, you get a loose engine roundstart and there's nothing that you can do about it, and once it's loose it can't be stopped and is an instant shuttle call.
Sometimes the engineer doesn't even have to be antag and will still loose it.
