overly detailed thread titles

[Kelenius]

Ho boy.

I am Kelenius and this is my favorite thread on /tg/.

Rant incoming.

When my cyborg bolts upload/tech storage/EVA/anything of the kind FNR.
When captain thinks I have to let him upload laws just because he's a captain.
When someone calls me rogue because I stunned them in upload.
When prisoners in perma spam papers.
When security locks down prisoners in perma so the only thing they can do is spam papers.
When I have to open engineering storage when CE is present.
When atmosians syphon the area with very little toxins.
When they shout at me when I scrub instead of syphoning.
When engineers forget the SMES and I have to set it up.
When atmosians replace pumps with volume and don't connect the pumps in the hallway (do you even know what you are doing and why?).
When I have a broken camera in telecomms monitoring.
When the heads don't know how to red alert.
When security talks about killing and then calls me rogue when I lock them down.
When people scream 'AI MALF' when they see a emagged APC.
When people scream 'BORGS ROGUE HUMAN HARM' when they get flashed.
When people scream 'BORGS ROGUE HUMAN HARM' when I'm paladin or corporate.
When people scream 'AI LAW 2 OPEN DOOR' when I'm not asimov and everyone knows it.
When people emag bolted doors (it's not helping you, you're just being a prick).
Superpower virus. With sneezing.
When someone messes with my camera, for any reason.
Wizards.
When people don't turn on suit sensors.
When security calls me rogue when I release non-violent prisoners.
When engineers boost singulo to stage 3 (this happens so often I don't even try to stop them).
When someone makes a restart vote.
'I ded plz restart' jokes.
When people use fire against blob for any reason. FOR ANY REASON. IT NEVER WORKS WELL. NEVER.
When engineers don't fill plasma tanks.
When people scream 'AI ROGUE' when there's a plasma flood caused by an atmosian.

I think that's all for now.

[Steelpoint]

When security calls me rogue when I release non-violent prisoners.

Well gosh even I would call you rogue if you were releasing prisoners.

If an AI does this, I will personally take the Ion Gun, break into the AI Core and terminate the AI.

Coincidently one of my pet peeves are Silicon's getting involved in mundane arrests, more so when they keep releasing said prisoner cause law 2.

This can literally be stopped by saying, ONCE, AT ROUNDSTART, 'AI don't release prisoners'. If the security isn't using their brains, and not even trying to talk to AI about it, it's their own problem.

There, now AI can choose if it should release prisoners unless there is a direct threat. If the AI doesn't have orders to not release them, and there is no human harm from releasing them, it MUST release them, because not doing so would be breaking its laws and is bannable.

'Rogue AI' means that it has laws that make it act against the crew. It doesn't means that the AI is following its laws not in the way you want.

[Steelpoint]

You would think the AI would be smart enough to assume that there is a good reason why someone is incarcerated.

Well whatever, release prisoners from Security at your own peril. Just don't lodge a ban request when you get a Ion Rifle shoved up your digital ass.

Dirty bars.

AIs who bolt EVA/Tcomms FNR and demand two head approvals even if you have access to said places

[Ikarrus]

-People who think HoP giving you access equates for legit authorization to enter
-People who think the AI opening doors for you equates to legit authorization to enter

[Lo6a4evskiy]

-People who think HoP giving you access equates for legit authorization to enter
-People who think the AI opening doors for you equates to legit authorization to enter

The second is semi-legit, if the first one is not legit, I don't know what is.

AIs who use the Vox system for no reason.

Vox is incredibly inflexible. I often find that it lacks just basic words while containing bullshit like johnsons abortions.

[ColonicAcid]

well no it isn't
if the hop gives you armoury access as an assistant does that mean you're allowed in there?
nope
HoP has jurisdiction on his own to give access to areas that are direct sub-ordinates of him, everything else is illegal until the respective head allows it.
Just because you have access doesn't mean you're allowed in there unless authorized by the head.

[Steelpoint]

The HoP giving the Clown access to the Armoury does not mean the Clown has legal authorization to enter the Armoury. It comes down to the fact that just being given access to your ID does not mean you gain authorization to the area's with that access. Hell, its been well known the HoP's giving themselves All Access does not automaticly mean they have authorization to go everywhere on the station (Though this is oft treated as the norm). Actually being reassigned to the job does give you access, but that's also an issue of the department head giving the all clear to that transfer.

Going on topic, here's my personnel list of pet peeves.

- Officers that don't secure their lockers.
- Warden's that act like Security Officers, your job is to babysit the Armoury, look after prisoners and act like the guy on the radio in every FPS game in exsistance feeding you intel.
- Officer's that don't respond on the radio for roll call's or ever.

- HoP's that try and take a gun from the Armoury.
- HoP's that claim they have legit access to the Armoury.
- HoP's that cry and moan when I boot them out of the Armoury/Sec.
- HoP's in general when they go HoPcurity.
- I don't like HoP's.
- (I do like the feeling when you arrest a bad HoP.)

- Greytider's
- People hacking Sec's doors for no reason.
- People who resist any form of Security interaction at all costs.
- Bystanders that interfere with arrests and wilfully help arrested suspects escape.
- People who cry "shitcurity" and "HoS killing me AI".

- Silicon's that release prisoners without asking myself or any other Sec Personnel.
- Double so when they release a god damn perma prisoner.

There's more, but I think that sum's up a nice list.

Don't get me wrong, despite my list of "pet peeves" I don't wallow in insanity and depression. Its more of annoying thing that tickles my nerves when it happens but I deal with it. Except for that damn lawyer.

[Cheridan]

People with NO GIRLS ALLOWED pillowfort mentalities when it comes to people being anywhere they don't have round-start access to.
This is only ok for Sec, people on the Bridge, and maybe Engineering.

"HOLY SHIT THERE'S A BARTENDER IN ROBOTICS I'D BETTER FREAK THE FUCK OUT FLASH HIM AND THROW HIM INTO THE TRASH"
At least take a second to ask them WHY they're there before you kick them out of your safety hugbox.

It's even worse when you actually DO have access to an area. Recently I signed up as engineer so that I could better learn how Telecoms is initially set up so I could repair it better in the future.
The CE rushes in, flashes me, drags me out of the room and into the hallway, calls security and screeches about how I was "tampering with shit".
I told him I'd show him what tampering looks like and I lit his office on fire.

[Apsis]

-People on the wrong intent in maintenance. I can deal with it in the halls, but if you push me in maint I might knock you out.
-Getting arrested for defending myself, my department, someone else, etc.
-Officers/Wardens that take items away from you that are easy to get.
-People who can't type correctly IC and expect me to pay attention to them.

Not much, but I'm more likely to be someones pet peeve anyway.

[Cheimon]

Friendly wizards. Especially if they still need someone dead, and even more if people defend them.

Assistants who think the height of comedy is to get actual criminals free.

Summon guns/summon magic. Never a fun round. Highly random and therefore boring, there's no sense of control.

Chemists who won't give you a standard chemical for your job.

Roboticists who take much longer than they need to borg someone.

Anyone who gets involved in security issues and then becomes a liability/stuns the people they're "helping" because they have doubts. HOP is the most likely to be guilty.

Chefs who don't make any food.

Virologists who invalidate the chef's food.

Lawyers who don't even try to practice law.

People who yell that you're rogue because you're carrying an item. Yes, I'm a security officer, no, I can't fit this cult sword in my backpack. Yes, I'm a security borg, no, I actually am dragging the HOS to cloning. Especially if you're a borg.

People who blow borgs based on inaccurate radio reports, particularly if it's only one person. Lock 'em down!

[Lo6a4evskiy]

well no it isn't
if the hop gives you armoury access as an assistant does that mean you're allowed in there?
nope
HoP has jurisdiction on his own to give access to areas that are direct sub-ordinates of him, everything else is illegal until the respective head allows it.
Just because you have access doesn't mean you're allowed in there unless authorized by the head.

um, no

Head of Personnel is not a machine which pops out access you put in it. It's a head who manages assignments and personnel. If HoP gives you armory access because it's blob, you're allowed in there. If HoP gives you access to brig because there are no officers, you are allowed in there.

If HoP gives away access randomly, he's a stupid dipshit cunt, but that's not a problem of those who received access. I mean, if you received a gun from HoS, are you to blame for taking it? No, the HoS is for giving it to you. Then why would you be punished for access received from HoP?

And yes, HoP can promote himself. HoP can give himself armory access. HoP can give himself all access.

The question is, was it justifiable under the circumstances?

I mean, I don't think you will object that HoP getting all access when half of the station is in ruins, nuke ops got the disk and revolutionaries are everywhere is an okay thing? Well, that is not an exception. That is normal. HoP's job is to manage personnel according to the circumstances, whether it be lack of engineers or blob eating the station.

Another example. What if there is no head of certain department? Is HoP allowed to assign people then? If so, is that yet another exception? No, that's just, again, circumstances.

Technically HoP can freely assign people to departments without permission of department head, but that's considered rude. It's not illegal or anything though.

[ColonicAcid]

huh

no that's not remotely true at all
hop doesn't have jurisdiction over those departments. if he gives you armoury access in a blob scenario that's still illegal access but it's hindsighted due to the fact there's a fucking blob and there's no time to ask. In other situations your ass and the HoP's ass is going to get fucked.

[captain sawrge]

Autists who whine over inane bullshit.

This post was deleted by Ikarrus on Mon May 26, 2014 8:11 pm.

[Ikarrus]

HoP giving access out without checking with the head is ultimately an IC issue, but it will inevitably lead to conflict and misunderstandings due to the lack of communication. And if you're going to be causing conflict you're a shitty manager.

[bandit]

Assistants who drag away prisoners I am arresting for legitimate reasons
Assistants who whine when security confiscates their stunprods, IEDs or other contraband/graytiding tools
Engineers who take tools from primary/auxiliary tool storage and not their workplacr
Chemists who are bitches about making mutagen
People who smash windows to space in maint
People who scream AI ROGUE when the AI can't interact with a hacked and/or emagged door
New mining, in general
Nuke ops who can't figure out how to use the consoles or the radio or communicate at all

[Lo6a4evskiy]

More likely is that they won't even notice.

Now that we have this shitty heads-can-change-access-to-their-department thing this seems like a non-issue to me.

Seriously, I don't think I've ever had an issue with that except for one time I deliberately allowed miners into R&D because RD was being a cunt and not cooperating with them.

Don't get me wrong, I usually ask, but most of the time head doesn't care. When I have a round-start boom I can't wait five minutes for the head to respond about this one guy - assistants will murder each other in line. Instead I can use my own judgement - that's what a good manager does. How the fuck do heads even know who's applying? I don't think I've ever gotten a head to come over and see, at least not recently. So, in fact, heads have less info about the new guys than HoP does.

Basically, ID console for HoP is what engine is for CE. It can affect everyone, but it doesn't mean that head has to ask permission to shut down singularity (some like to use solars only) or rebuild atmos, or anything.

[Ikarrus]

The CE still cannot cut off power or mess with other department radio channels without getting his ass kicked.

The very least I ask is that HoPs make an attempt to communicate with the head. If the head doesn't care, then that's his issue, not the HoP's. When I play HoP, I ask for objections, not for permission, unless it's a very sensitive position, like head/sec

[Fatal]

Everyone who shouts on the radio RECALL the instant a shuttle is called, without understanding why

Pretty much every HoP ever, seriously, practically every time I play security or Captain, there is always some conflict with the HoP, usually leading to some warning, I've had to demote a few, and outright permabrig a couple

I don't really understand why people choose HoP job when they aren't going to be responsible with it, if you want to be irresponsible, there's a grey jumpsuit in the locker room with your name on it

Captains who don't secure the nuke disk

Captains who keep the nuke disk, pinpointer, and spare ID, and their own ID on them at all times (if you lose the disk, the pinpointer is there for other people to find it, if you lose both, it's gone)

[Kavaloosh]

people who dont end emotes with periods

everyone does this
it's terrible

[Aurx]

All those idiots who wait an hour to ahelp something only at round end because "well he's not a tator".
Worse, all those idiots who wait an hour to ahelp something at round end that requires current-round variables to solve so everybody else has to sit and wait while it's sorted out.

REPORT TO MEDBAY FOR JOHNSON INSPECTION

I actually feel like creative use of the Vox can be pretty funny.

- People who get impatient and break in to a department, then get pissed when you try to remove them. Robotics is a secure area, you fucking man-children. I will ask you but you better have a damn good reason for being there.
- People who get arrested for b&e then scream SHITCURITY

[Malkevin]

Always remember as a robotocist:
-You have the most powerful one handed common melee weapon in game
-You have a device cable of a heavy stun; you also have cable coils, cells, and metal for rods.
-Admin stance on B&E is that they're enthusiastically volunteering.


So flash em and saw em in the head then borg them, and order them to be jani-borg while you're at it.

[Jeb]

Pretty sure force borging is a no-no and shouldn't be encouraged.

[Ikarrus]

Historically, if you break into robotics with the intent to cause trouble admins won't do anything if the workers decide to force borg you. There's even a clause in the silicon policy that mentions it.

[Jeb]

Well then I stand corrected.

[callanrockslol]

People that do not trust me to save the station when they catch me with the captains laser, three e-guns, a stun baton, full body armor and a helmet, a teleporter and a flamethrower.

Especially after I just beat two traitors to death and liberated them of their stolen possessions.



People that don't let me clone changelings for infinite slime food are jerks too.

Historically, if you break into robotics with the intent to cause trouble admins won't do anything if the workers decide to force borg you. There's even a clause in the silicon policy that mentions it.

If you break into robotics you deserve it, you can't do shit without a robotics ID.

[Ikarrus]

We used to have a big problem with people breaking into robotics to steal flashes. The policy of letting workers have !!FUN!! with burglars helped curb it.

[Higgin]

Greytide. It's hard to not throw you out a fucking airlock when you go breaking into places so that you aren't a continued pain in the ass for my whole round.
If you want to see Ian wearing your special hat, JUST ASK ME.

People who say "I told you so" after things go bad. I didn't give you access to the armory and security so you can't get the guns out to fight the ninja cyborg changelings? How could I have not seen this coming - I mean, the last assistant that e-magged in to shoot at me told me we needed to talk about security and trust, too, and here I am getting absorbed; it was all so avoidable!
if you want to have more trust and power, consider joining into the roles that doing the shit in the first place and then work out from there - your appallingly cocky attitude asking for dangerous, full access from the low tiers just makes me want to throw you out a fucking airlock and I will not help you except under extenuating circumstances where there's a direct link. Say "i told you so" when it doesn't work out? Tough, but fuck you for your trumped-up expectations of how I'm going to take your self-estimations, true or false.

You say that, and then you ban people for "banbaiting".

I think the most annoying thing is people who don't switch to help intent, especially when fighting blob or something. There is literally no use for harmful intents when fighting blob, you idiots.

Also incompetence, but that's just the way of it.

[Psyentific]

People who roll heads of staff and proceed to be very bad at it.
Have I mentioned people without a last name? Because fuck those guys.

people with the last name "williams" also happen to be very bad
you can tell because their last name is williams, and this speaks a lot about their character and the way they play

Any non engineer/assistant/atmos who has insulated gloves, die in a fire please

ESPECIALLY heads, and even more so the HoP and Captain, when they get them at round start too (and I'm looking at you too cargo, black glove superiority)

You literally are ONLY wearing rubber gloves in the slight chance the AI shocks a door, because anyone competent who hacks a door doesn't need insulated gloves, and you certainly shouldn't be fucking with power wires
