A good social engineer will almost always win alot of things by convincing others to do what they need without themselves lifting a finger. Someone with alot of niche knowledge will probably use alot of that to escape bad situations. It all depends really.
Sometimes talking works. Sometimes the other guy will kill you regardless. Don't let it deter you. Even the most skilled and well-prepared players die or fail due to unforeseen or impossible circumstances. That's just how the game goes.

There is no point chasing a pipe dream of robustness to the expectations of others, just look to do what makes you happy and lets you enjoy the game. The fella who killed you is probably doing exactly that, but you don't have to imitate him. He might not be everyone you meet. Even if that person dictates in that moment the longevity of your play time.

That's maybe the biggest strength and weakness of the game. The possibilities are endless as a sim game goes, but the limitations of it being a social game is that people can act or behave in an extremely one-dimensional way.

be polite

Someone on Bagil once told me being robust was speedrunning every source of gamer gear, so this doesn't really surprise me
Robust has many definitions but being an efficient power gamer is none of them
based.
my opinion of what Robust means is that if there is a bad situation, and there is a way to get out of that situation, a Robust person will get out of that situation. A robust person doesn't need to prep, because as long as there is *some way* to do what they want to do, then they will do it.

be efficient

the biggest advantage I've found over the years is that by not using hotkey mode I can talk and run and fight at the same time and I can't tell you the number of conflicts you can win as an antag by shouting lies while attacking someone to get bystanders on your side

hotkey mode is such a fat misnomer honestly, it implies that non-hotkey mode doesnt have hotkeys which is straight up false

Having played before hotkey mode, switching to it changed my life. The old ones are worse, other than what sticky mayhem said.

You can't use wasd while walking on non hotkey mode

I use arrow keys in non hotkey mode specifically so the keyboard is free for typing at all times

Just type faster!

This was a very real Bagil round about two years ago. Everyone who walked in got added to the pile, including all of security, the HoS and the Captain.

None of you understand robustness, because you are noobs.

Robustness is understanding that combat on tg and byond is and always will be maximally retarded, the idea of being robust was a joke, a play on words.

True robustness as tg players understood it was when you are willing to sacrifice your player for the betterment of the shared story.

It has nothing to do with how good you are at staying alive, or killing other people

This is true

The UI was "robust" and then that was applied to winning, that doesn't mean it wasn't prized then

As someone who hasn't been on the server in five years I am entirely qualified to judge the current state of the server based on my mental image of its evolution.
