When sec (and the ai) don't care when you spot a ling putting away their armblade and were almost burnt to death, twice, and you got the guys names, but they arrest you when you enter sec using a dead lawyer's id. aka, security who need to get their priorities together

Or they spend ten minutes beating the shit out of me for building airlocks everywhere while people are screaming about cult members converting people. I mean, it's funny to me when they get overrun, but I imagine it aggravates people who expected Sec to come help them.

It's more effective to just execute, space, and move on.

People underestimate the intense satisfaction I get from listening to a greytider scream "THERES OPS AND YOURE REALLY ARRESTING ME FOR MURDER SHITCURITY FUCKING ARRESTING ME DURING BLOB JESUS CHRIST". Its like drugs, although most of the time sec should be hunting down the noisiest antag during those rounds, don't be surprised if they arrest you for pushing the captain over and stealing his id. Or for building airlocks everywhere which disrupts sec a lot.

When I play sec, I will arrest you for ANY crime you commit. Unless processing you is going to take an extra long time, is impossible, or I am under an immediate threat or see someone else being harmed, I will arrest you. I don't care what antags are out there.

I dont arrest everyone committing every crime, if someones doing something like hacking a door I normally just tell em to cut that shit out then they scamper off, if its anything I see as greytiding I just beat the shit out of them and tell them if I catch them doing it again they're getting jail time. If you are committing a crime I wouldn't arrest you for cause of circumstance (ops, blob, wizard, etc) something like hacking into the caps office, and then you start talking a mess of shit at me I will arrest just for the salt.

[Dr_bee]

Sec who arrest me as a traitor 8 minutes into the round and perma me just for having contraband. This was before I could even collect my damn costume to run a gimmick I was planning.

I mean my god, how much of a hard on do you have to have for "winning" this game to just completely cock block any attempt to roleplay. He wouldnt even use the suggested tracking implant. Just stripped and permad.

Yeah if you haven't been up to anything particularly nasty and the contraband isn't like, a double esword, Ill normally let confirmed traitors go if they give up their uplink codes, keywords, with a zero tolerance + chem implant. Although the quickest way to not getting your shit kicked in as a traitor is don't get caught buddy. Not going to find much sympathy if you're upset you got caught with contraband.

When the current powergaming sec/command staff barge in and make themselves guns until minerals run out. When it's ops it's fine, but it happens outside of that mode as well.

And often miners drop a load of minerals then go fight megafauna, either getting killed or collecting enough loot to not bother mining anymore, so if someone drains the first batch it can mean the end of cool RnD toys for that round. That's why i don't like people wordlessly coming in and printing stuff.

Of course, if someone asks, instead, i'll make them whatever they want. I like helping, and if i'm going to run out of materials i can just explain why i'm not printing them stuff, instead of having to forcefully get them out, after which i'm not in the mood for explainations and just look like a possessive scientist to the person i threw out.

I rarely complain about being arrested, especially if I knew it would probably happen in response to what I'm doing. There's just something fun about winning stupid prizes.

When a ling decides greentext is worth his ticket into heaven and sells out every other ling, and then the captain and sec take everything he says as gospel and wordlessly beat anyone he says is a ling to death

LINGS ARE NOT TEAM ANTAGS

The very nature of having an exclusive role-based chat amongst themselves makes them as a much of a pseudo-team as can be, with the cusp ending in that for the 'solo' modes there's 'these objectives that you yourself have to do.' And yeah, you can do 'what you want' as an antag (though there's factors like ling lore, the principles of antagonism, game intentions and balance could probably do with a policy discussion as of late).

But jumping into a metafriend's arms in security so you two can get EZvalids on some baldie who just wanted to play together borders 'that guy' territories of being a dick, and probably would be flat out Rule 1 breaking if it wouldn't retroactively call out the playstyle of half the meta kool kidz klub of the server.

When medbay says they made a vaccine for a deadly disease going around the station, they give you the supposed vaccine, but it doesnt fucking work and nobody cares that there's a deadly disease. bonus points if its during a round where the station REALLY NEEDS TO WORK TOGETHER like on a nuke ops round.
More bonus points if they said they made a vaccine for a fungal or bacterial infection/ a cure for it but they didnt realize you don't vaccinate for fungal infections.

I've never seen the person doing the tribe crafting ever being the one who deserves it. It's usually:
*Spend 20 minutes kiting and killing properly, using efficient health resource management (not wasting med charges on 5 brute limbs), digging out the paths/laying trails for good pathfinding for the tribe
*Some other chucklefuck sees the bones stack up more than 3 and he pounces on our tribal stash and starts churning god knows what

At least the guy who makes an axe first usually has the surgical Legion souls in mind for the group.

Since we're on about Ashwalkers...

When you get a round with a rare perfect start (Legion tendril to farm relatively near), have about 15+ eggs for the greatest WAAAGH!! the station will ever know... And no one spawns in despite the round type not needing ghosts/entertaining to watch for ghosts.

Ashwalkers who KILL that very perfect Legion tendril so they can get a trash-tier chest

When you actually DO get a massive tribe, despite screaming for a WAAAGH!! and laying down a sandstone block trail to the mining base that even the dumbest halfwit could follow, half your tribe still manages to fuck off whereever and you get a tiny invasion force. I've yet to see an invasion go over 4 Ashwalkers.
