/tg/Station 13

Subtle

Too many to count if I'm being honest, but only a few of them are actually amusing.

I was playing as the RD on a fairly midpop day on Box, old research scavenger hunt was already done and there was nobody working toxins so I threw together as many max-caps as I had valves for and decided to give ...

Subtle

Likewise, allow me to clarify. Accepting that conflict between nonantagonists is a natural, given thing and isn't only relegated to physical altercations is far and away not the same as suggesting nonantagonists should grief a round to "spice it up" for themselves. That's the height of boring and ...

Subtle

Fair enough, even if they have potential it's slim. Hardly a safe bet to assume the way things are handled will 180* regardless of the optimism and effort involved.

Subtle

Interesting that you should bring that up, and I hope you don't mind other opinions, because conflict being entirely "physical" in the sense you mention is enabled only by the fact that a portion of the playerbase mentally checks out of the rounds without it (whether that's for cultural or ...

Subtle

All jokes aside, going with the occasional alt. name "Sigil" would be pretty thematic for a traditional games station if they've really gotta merge.

Subtle

Fawlty Towers for life yo.

Subtle

Obviously haven't played enough to speak fairly about mechanical changes to the modes, but one of the more interesting things about them in my own opinion is that they're still run by the antagonists as if they had to operate within the old instant-shuttle time frame. On a server where rounds are ...

Subtle

After a gentle bwoink for the last name "Blumpkin" I've gotta wonder just how serious any proposed criteria really need to be.
Sure, nonsensical or 4th-wall names as well as titles are OOC/snowflakey, but that's a simple culture thing rather than any looming threat to the average round's immersion ...

Subtle

Please, do save us all the time and don't bother.

Buzzwords and real-world comparisons have rarely, if ever, applied to these situations.

Subtle

I'd just like to mention that the Clowns didn't "seek you out," either. You make it sound like they were chasing you down rather than just meeting in the halls and insulting the Captain.
Every meeting was pure chance, except the medbay one, which you really have to expect considering you beat them ...

Presently the policy is that if you're arming up to antag-hunt or take security gear/access for the purpose of acting like security, you're treated like them.

Subtle

Oh joy, the peanut gallery has arrived.

Getting promoted to "Space Cowboy" as an assistant doesn't give you the right to go around quoting John Wayne and shooting people in the face. Similarly, becoming a 'bodyguard' doesn't give you an excuse to take your ego out on random people; otherwise why ...

Subtle

As we discussed at length in-game; just because you're a Security Officer with a fancy title doesn't give you the right to beat random crewmembers.

The Captain did not ask you to "avenge their honor" when the clown insulted them. That was purely your decision; there we have the start of the fight ...

Subtle

I'd like to come up with some constructive criticism, but there's nothing to be said.

Utterly indefensible in practice and an absolutely terrible idea to begin with.

Subtle

I don't really see how failing in an attempt to protect humans from an explosion is breaking any laws.

Perhaps they didn't notice you'd uprooted the bolts? It certainly wasn't intentionally detonated.

Subtle

To give some context; the two syndibombs were announced before the shuttle docked.

It was explained as being an attempt to sabotage the shuttle by a Syndicate boarding party, gibs and a little pod included, etc. After getting a number of prayers for something exciting to happen I figured this would ...

Subtle

There are a number of very valid criticisms regarding what passes as an "event."

Before I elaborate, there's nothing wrong with breaking up the monotony with an interesting twist or unusual scenario. The trouble with this is that there's also nothing approaching monotony anymore. It seems that ...

Subtle

The alternative is having someone in charge of the case who, in the vast majority of situations, wouldn't even have been present for the round.

Unfortunate that this often results in discussions lasting longer than the ban itself, but I've always welcomed any other administrator to weigh in on the ...

Subtle

Asking another Admin to look through it is certainly your right. However, the guy who asked about gangs wasn't even involved.

I'm still not going to lift the ban because you thought they were valids to collect on over a joke.
It's silly, and clearly only matters since it gave you a paperthin ...

Subtle

After sitting down and thinking about it I'll admit my decision to jobban you was hasty.

There are a number of interpretations regarding that law which are overwhelmingly dangerous, far more than just the one you decided on, and while I didn't like your response to the situation from an OOC ...

Subtle

I've had a look all over the logs and nobody said they were "gangsters." The only talk of recruitment was them roleplaying the Chemist becoming a junior detective.

The fight was completely dissolved, handled legally, before I watched you ambush them both while I was investigating the situation. The ...

Subtle

On occasion we have to discuss with silicon players that despite certain unfun conclusions being the logical reach of the ASIMOV (or any anti-harm) lawset, they cause a lot of trouble and OOC are a pretty dickish thing to do. I.E. strapping all humans to a bed and ensuring they receive proper ...

Subtle

Oh, I had a look at the logs and spoke with all three of you.

Sticking your nose in suspicious business is fine. Getting into a scuffle over misunderstandings is fine; returning after you were legally, nonharmfully dealt with (aside from perhaps two punches) and released from the brig to ...

Subtle

First off, just to clear things up (I should have informed you in-game) the AI ban is for a week.

That particular round wasn't the first incident.

You've got quite the habit of using your laws as the AI to make the experience unpleasant for other people playing. I'd been receiving complaints ...

Subtle

Just adminhelping "I think I really messed up" or something similar goes a long way toward helping us earmark these things as an accident.

I'll lift the ban; please understand that this sort of excuse rarely works twice, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. Be a little more careful!
Happy ...

Subtle

You started the PA without engaging any of the field generators, singularity escaped almost instantly.

Actually just about to ask you what happened before you threw yourself into space but you logged out pretty quickly. Fairly certain you hadn't died either.
People make mistakes, sure, but it ...

Subtle

I've had the pleasure of interacting with Ausops a couple times on another account.

Very polite and professional, seems willing to take the time to understand all sides of an issue before making decisions or applying punishment.

A solid administrator to be certain.

Subtle

It's more about having an extra four or five ID consoles scattered around.

The single one outside of the bridge is already very difficult to keep track of.
I suppose it isn't an inherently bad change, just one I can forsee having a number of untouched consequences.

Subtle

Well, I didn't even know ID-consoles had such a function. That's really quite useful!

However at the same time I feel it's already way too easy to steal all-access. Even if the extra ID-consoles were manipulated to be more demotion friendly I don't think we'd see them used in that manner; more ...

Subtle

The moment you take all that gear and start tasing people with security equipment you're functionally in sec, sorry.

That said this ban was applied because you logged off after I started contacting you; while I don't doubt this wasn't intentional it's pretty standard practice. Better to assume we ...

Subtle

Don't know if I should be worried or flattered that I look like I'm running a Cult, or Fight-Club.

These are absolutely hilarious though.

Subtle

Oh I remember that! Excellently crafted; was awesome to see everyone rush over to telesci and become vested in the pilot's fate. Thumbs up for what it's worth!

Sadly if you're not too specific about where exactly the players are supposed to go they either end up never leaving the station or ...

Subtle

(I'll get this out of the way right off; have a burning hate for the things, so a bias is somewhat inherent here.)

Secborgs are easily one of, if not the most, popular modules for Cyborgs. You get weapons, authority and nigh-invincibility to 99% of the station's danger. These tremendous comparative ...

Subtle

They were banned for it as of that round.

If it's a repeat problem it may be worth escalating the punishment but for now it was already handled.

Subtle

The secban is for a week.
The gameban is for two days.

The borg you killed urged you that the Mime was fine; pointing out his implant. As we discussed at extreme length in game the Mime was fighting for NT due to this. It's a safe assumption to make IC, because defying your implant IC elicits OOC ...

Subtle

Combine that with the fact minor explosions trigger the payload, and you can do some crafty stuff.

Mind. Blown. Totally using this the next time I roll traitor.

Also, to do the whole schtick on syndiebombs in this thread... They're impossible to brick. The trick is cutting their "explode" wire ...

Subtle

Doubt it. Could probably parcel wrap one though?
They don't fit in/under/have their sprite blocked by anything.

Even the cheesy "falsewall" trick just results in their layering being on top of it all.
That said I'm not sure if something would stop you from just loading the bomb itself onto the ...

Subtle

You can always just PM someone in game to ask for this sort of ban.

That said, uh, sure! See you in the new year!

Subtle

I've had a look at the logs and they confirm the story you're presenting here.

While I'm inclined to call this a black and white request I can also see why Tedward would want to get his story before applying any punishment outright. That said it really seems like some obvious revenge-oriented grief ...

Subtle

Oh goodness, this is really taking off.
No worries at all about "stealing PF's thunder" or whatever. If more people want to play Shadowrun I'm damn glad someone can give it to them!

This thread might be becoming a poor place to hash out little details if we're talking about both games though ...

Subtle

Ah, that whole bag of worms. I don't think we need to go through another version of the same argument.

You've been banned from team-antagonists for more than long enough due to that goofup; will remove the restriction when I come online.
(Anyone else is welcome to lift it as well if they see this ...

Subtle

give shadowrun/give WH40k!
NEVER!

In all reality though I've barely even played the systems; my knowledge of the Warhams is /tg/-lite at best. Besides, when I write Sci-Fi I sound like more of a fumbling idiot than I often already do. Sorry guys, my purview is Fantasy and I just don't have the ...

Subtle

I don't think you made this request to speak to me again, so I'll be succinct and sum up the opposite argument for those interested.

As a result of the bombing/breakin to the Captain's office he ordered all possible suspects (the detective turned up cargobay fibers) to be brought to the brig and ...

So here's the deal, folks. I've got an Ultimate license for a program called Fantasy Grounds 2; which essentially translates to having an idiot-proof (if inflexible) internet Pen & Paper simulator for some of the more popular systems.

That much I'll certainly grant. The CMO has questionable authority over the lobby and it was a huge jerk-move of him to go out there and hypo you for it.
(And just to clarify; despite giving my "IC ruling" in-game I asked Gamarr to make this request to get second opinions from other admins ...

Subtle

Ah dammit. Knew I'd miss at least something while I was out of state.

Allow me to clarify here; the CMO has a right to decide who belongs in his department. He obviously doesn't have to allow a Doctor-Mime to be there purely for the sake of drawing black-and-white runes all over the place. I ruled ...
