Might've changed with brainmed, which wouldn't surprise me.

I recall that a bottle of hard liquor can keep you ICly drunk for like an hour if you space out the sips, but that requires a whole fucking bottle.

You don't suddenly lose your nips, navel and other defining human features whilst turning into a chupacabra. If that's somehow meant to look human, it really doesn't.

And in a very roundabout way I am saying that the decision is ultimately made by the lore team. The consistency there-in lays in them being, mechanically, a sub-species akin to the various types of Tajara. If you were born without said defects and developed physical flaws over time, that would not genetically make you an off-worlder, that'd make you a physically disabled human. You would not look like this unless it were distinctly genetic. You would instead look like a taller, skinnier and frailer version of this. This is why I would have vastly preferred if such conditions were handled from the disabilities menu in character creation rather than making them entirely separated to a mechanical sub-species.

I have to imagine this is an oversight in brainmed, as hulks were designed before pain and intended to be stun-immune, to which they could never be downed by pain before brainmed. Bay hasn't exactly had hulks for quite a while I believe, thus leading to the oversight and your issue.

I'm merely reinforcing the point of the recommended post. If it is, per the statement of said post, less than a year which I find completely believable on part of NanoTrasen, then that's that. Otherwise, as I stated: "-until clarification is offered by the lore team, there should never be exceptions to background requirements." Lived in, no. Genetically 'adapted'/degenerated over multiple generations, yes. To call them a sub-species is indeed correct. I present to you a series of questions: Did they suffer from the maladaptive traits common to the sub-species before? What inspired you to retcon a character in such a fairly significant manner? Would you have written them the same way as you had, with these genetic defects in mind?

Nanako no, Nanako go.

Echoing the above, the name felt wholly misleading and I'd thought the same at first until I saw mention of people dying and Tups.

1 ≠ 10. I fully understand the context presented here, and in turn believe that no species or sub-species should disregard the background requirements for Captaincy. No other head position has the same requirement. Now, should the requirements for Captaincy be changed, then so shall my opinion. Zundy also makes a fair argument in the post above, but until clarification is offered by the lore team, there should never be exceptions to background requirements.

I wouldn't make a player complaint if you were a shitty admin. I wouldn't make a staff complaint if I personally disagreed with a decision. A complaint I feel is something built-up over time, and I'd see a valid complaint as an admin who makes the wrong decision with malicious intent or is simply unfit for their position. Not someone who made a singular disagreeable judgement that I have a personal argument against (the judgement, not the someone). Or in short, how I see it: Player complaint: Argue against the player Staff complaint: Argue against the staff member's position (That is, whether they deserve their rank) Note/Warning appeal: Argue against the note/warning Unban appeal: Argue against the ban

I see no reason for a special exception on a time-limited restriction. It will go regardless, let it come in due time rather than rushing things pointlessly. Especially as your OW characters need the time and experience within NanoTrasen before they're viable for the position. Being a disabled sub-species does not allow one to bypass the requirements thereof, especially for Captaincy.

The process explained: Consume alcohol, ambrosia, space drugs or any sort of depressant chemical. Try to operate heavy machinery such as a fabricator or lathe. Behold an increased likelihood of crippling accidents akin to what those with ridiculous hairstyles get when using fabricators. Or in short, don't drink and do drugs at work.

The issue therein is that calling it/having it be a staff complaint feels like you're arguing against the personal conduct of the staff member, rather than arguing against the note itself. I typically view complaints (and tend to see them used) as a 'this person is terrible' thing.

Have it take twice as long and I agree.

When did being a spriter require some sort of semi-official endorsement?

The lobby used to say the alert level, it still does for delta if you're there to hear it because of that awful global noise, but they removed it from the other three for whatever reason. It does make lobbysitting far less prone to jumpscaring me so I don't mind the quiet.

I prefer slow, theatrical deaths and believe ballistics should inflict mortal but not immediately killing wounds. Not much else to say, a slow death has more far impact (In SS13 and Aurora, at least) and lets the player give their final words.

Can you summarize it in one paragraph for someone who slept through every single one of the event rounds? Additionally, questions-wise: What was the inspiration for the story/stories? Was there any intended moral(s) to the story/stories presented? What are the lasting consequences of the series?

It would be a useful change, even if it can be semi-reasonably justified against that the chassis held the synthesizer generating one's 'exact voice'. +1

With how rare it is for people to be spaced on this map, I see no issue with a return to global announcements. I'm pretty sure the only significant reason for the removal was just so lobbysitters (whom are present on the centcomm z-level iirc) don't see them.

Humour is subjective, the day it's policed is the day I start to write a lot of player and staff complaints based on poor humour exhibited by them. That's not a road we should be going down and absolutely should not be the take-away from this discussion.

Please- never do this. This would be the biggest pain in the ass redoing records, rewriting numerous pages + in-game references to the year, and so on. Delete the numbers, makes shit instant, do anything but change the Goddamned year.

+1 Let the uncivilized savages rep their tattered bits of leather and whatever random shit found in maintenance that was put together to create the hide mantle.

These are tied together for the reason I stated. - As for these two points, I agree there's a fairly significant problem there in the former punishing new players and the latter being a boring nanny rule.
