Flying Circus is an excellent one. The best imo is still Troupe Transport but Flying Circus is up there.

Here's a few more:
Just a Prank
Hijinks Ensue
Slipstream Rider (or maybe something like Slippery Devil?)

Ceaseless Laughter
Joker's Wild
Bozo Bus
The Entire Circus
Surely, You Jest
Killer Kar from Outer Space

However, I would still strongly recommend trying to communicate with the player base in some level-headed manner, With the player base doing the same.

Much easier said than done for at least two reasons. First off, the playerbase isn't a hivemind. Different people are going to have different ...

I got that impression from their posts but couldn't place my finger on why.

Medical is too engaging...

Imagine saying this with a straight face and thinking it's a good argument. I literally don't think it's possible to make any mechanic "too engaging" in a vacuum. You can argue it draws player attention away from something else more important, but nothing is more ...

What if the Syndicate only trust explosives and other dangerous types of gear to the best operatives?
What if Nanotrasen only issues high tier cool stuff (powerful equipment, roundstart mutations, implants, weapons,...) to the most effective workers?
What if space wizard federation, spider clan ...

There could be screen alerts for when your tank is low.

If someone wants to get real fancy, we could even show % remaining on the tank itself.

If you can get headmin approval, it would be fairly easy to add more nuanced config options so for example Bagil could be nonhumans as assistants only or whatever.

I'll bet every dollar I have that their response will be: The behaviour of the playerbase currently is such that this feature will not ...

You can cap it so you only have 3 seats at the start and unlock more as you serve more guests. This'll annoy extreme powergamers but frankly I think the gains for newbies not creating too many seats is probably worth it. Also who doesn't like the idea of the portal going "Congratulations! Your ...

There might be room for letting people choose a different key than shift. Don't hold your breath on it happening though since the way the right click menu toggle works is quite a pain.

People who do this are called Iangeneers.

would be fairly easy to do using the same system that lets computers and such shine through darkness.

Why does it need a fucking minigame? Chemistry doesn't, atmospherics doesn't, robotics doesn't.

I think we should move away from the "jobs are you doing a minigame and getting a reward" design because every single time we've tried it, it's failed.

There are crazies everywhere. It isn't restricted to party.

What matters is whose in charge of the party. Trump says crazy shit. Biden does not. Trump embraces crazies, Biden drives them away.

I mean yes you can go find followers of Louis Farrakhan or whoever, and you can and should point out ...

Do you realize that by your definition of fascism either the Holocaust never happen or Hitler wasn't a fascist?

Fascists also use real threats, not just imaginary ones. Hitler got away with quite a bit because of the threat of the Soviet Union and France. He also scaremongered about the threat ...

What I don't understand is, why? Why would Trump do it? The international success of the alt-right was only made possible by the ability to write untrue stuff on the internet. So why stop it now? The way I see it, there may be 2 reasons

-The alt-right has already won and they don't need it ...

Repealing section 230 basically shuts down social networks, doesn't it? Why would it be a bad thing?

Among other things, it would make MSO personally liable for everything posted on these forums. The same logic would apply everywhere (Twitter, Facebook, etc are liable for what their users upload ...

Advantage of red is that the DNC is actually very happy with changing very little and puts forward people who don't change anything, when we need change. I'm hoping biden will change a lot of stuff but I doubt it

His cabinet picks so far have lots of Obama-era people. As such, little change you ...

I keep looking for a jumping in point because it's like a thicket of shitvI don't want to read but I do want to low effort shitpost about politics here as on 4channel so seeing as Sticky's recent posts seem to have a lot of buzzwords in them I'm just going to jump in and say that I look forward to ...

That picture is unironically a better design document than all our actual design documents.

President-elect starting off with a blast, broke his foot while playing with his dog, will have to wear a cast

Trump tweets bad footage of him limping with an ironic "get well soon!"

That's not a very nice thing to do
From just the tweet, I wouldn't assume he was being insincere. Of course I'm ...

Nobody trusts a journalist anymore these days
For good reason

Also apparently there's been a bunch more recounts and stuff. At this point I doubt it's going to be actual votes that determine who gets to sit in the white house though

I'm sure you have some evidence to back up a bold claim like ...

I never said it was proven in court. I only said that the reports were sufficient to bring a court case. If the Trump campaign admitted that their observers were permitted inside, then of course their case falls apart, and they were stupid for submitting it in the first place.
That's exactly what ...

Trump's tweeting he won the election in all caps like an actual lunatic. Keep in mind even if we just gave him enough votes to win AZ, NV, WI, and GA, he'd still be behind by 4 million votes. Some "victory" that would be.

Listen, I'm not saying that I want it to go to court. I'm just saying that ...

byond has nothing to do with it. AI behavior is just a lot of boring work nobody wants to do. And unlike a lot of other places in the game, there isn't even a skeleton to build off of. All our existing mob AI code is 100% garbage that should be thrown out ASAP.

an open economy leads to countries bing reliant on other countries, meaning they can be forced to do bad shit because they rely on 1 country that isnt themselves
a closed economy leads to social isolation

pick your poison

Only be open with countries you want to associate with. Lay down ...

While I'll agree that the escape shtutle is a fairly poor mechanic, if you want to replace it, you need to suggest what to replace it with. The "restart vote to end rounds" design fails to end the round for a satisfying, definitive reason and is also explicitly OOC. I therefore think it's not an ...

It would be nice if clicking on something blocked by a windoor just opened the windoor and grabbed the thing all at once. Same for putting stuff on a table or any other interaction.

It's not fun to introduce bugs, especially serious ones. It's extremely stressful and feels incredibly shitty. I'm not even talking about the community response here, I mean just the literal knowledge that someone's game is being ruined and it's all your fault is one of the worst feelings.

Yes, it ...

Unit tests are not equivalent to live playtesting, but they can help stop some of the more egregious issues.

If nothing else, a Reticence and a HONK should be able to form Voltron

the mech thing is inexcusable like yeah how did you NOT notice that when you enter the mech it DOESNT update the icon and it just has the unpiloted mech icon? like how did he test his code if the first thing you have to do is broken?

The difference between the piloted and unpiloted mechs is ...

I feel as if that would end in someone pioneering a program, and a rare responsible engineer copy pasting it at the start of the round, while most engineers don’t bother. Doesn’t seem much better than clicking rocks.
Ideally it would probably vary from round to round so you can't just copy paste ...

I got no idea of how realistically possible it currently is to modify the combat system or to what degree it can be done, but I agree current system is shit and anything other than spam-m1 to win would be beneficial to the game, or at least more interesting.

Don't worry about what's "possible ...

Only if the purple mutation also makes you eat people.

"Lets buff a thing thats already pretty cancerous." - how about we don't?

Syndicate technology should be one step ahead and if normal shotguns become Bulldogs, then they are essentially the same.
Have to agree with istoprocent

you hate to see it

Using a clunky UI as a balance tool is bad ...

Could give traitors all their tcs when the emergency shuttle gets called.

Honestly though, why add stat bonuses for it when it could just be aesthetic.
From what I understand any diminishing or augmenting of the clickable pixels would already be a stat change for all intents and purposes and thus there is a need to balance that out. If that wasn't the case I'd be fine ...

There's a better way of doing this than just deforming the sprite with a matrix that gives better results. Look up displacement maps in the reference if you're interested.

I would be against this either way btw. Balance nightmare.

Just to be clear, the PTL is the big mining laser that exchanges power for money, right?

Added #5

Also I think that we should try to move Manuel closer to bay in certain directions. However to be fair though I'd be down for HRP on the TG codebase.
I'm also very keen on the idea of combining a hot super matter with the TEG. Like Baystation does

That's already the intended goal. It ...

The high effort solution is to continue to dilute the genetics pool so damn much that you will never, ever get all of them in one shift and consequently never see the same exact set of mutations between multiple rounds

While this wouldn't improve current Genetics, in general this is a reasonable ...

Swing arcs would be cool. I planned on doing them a long time ago, but there's a lot of little implementation details that need to be considered.

An idea Errorage had that I recently remembered was to make it so when people attacked you in melee, you'd get a little warning on the top right corner ...

You could also just spawn it on the bridge. If there the problem with making its spawn location variable is that newer heads of staff might not even know that the disk CAN spawn in their office, so they'll forget to pick it up

it'd also make it harder to find the disk if the designated holder of it ...

I guess people are shooting off their version of the tyrant lawset hoping theirs is the one that makes the cut rather than say if the original post's version is any good lest it be the one to gain traction.
Coming up with lawsets is fun, sue me. There was a very long thread on the old forums that ...

The current TYRANT lawset creates more interesting situations imo such as a dictator captain working with the AI all of a sudden gets overthrown by the very same AI after the AI decides someone else is more fit to rule.

it quickly ends into ai is more fit to rule

I do agree TYRANT should be ...

This wouldn't actually solve the underlying issue since most situations with many uploads involved someone printing an upload board. If they can make one, they can almost certainly make more.

EDIT: The cooldown idea is interesting.
