TBH I don't think you can sue over anything in SS13.
And I'm 90 per cent sure you can't sue an engine.

He did, but this is Demonfiren, he likes to make a joke at any opportunity.
On topic: Nothing.
To my knowledge it was never successfully implemented, just a definition (commented out) and one or two checks for it in seemingly arbitrary places (Because old coders like to shove things in random places, it's like an Archaeological dig when working with old SS13 code)

the best way to ensure the longevity of your change is by turning it into spaghetti code so nobody wants to go through the mess of removing it

While this is largely true, the Noodliest piece of code we had was Ninja, I've disconnected that from 90% of the codebase (there's about 2 references outside of the Ninja module folder now)
so it's not impossible, just implausible

So what you mean, is that it has to be spaghetti enough to be hard to remove, but not spaghetti enough to trigger a "challenge accepted" response.

Yes, that! that's a better way of describing it.

or you could take the Startoad approach and just delete parts of the code until it starts compiling again

Didn't it cause hallucinations? I may be thinking of another server.
