I like her. I think we need more hardassed (but not unfair) security in place. And having played with you, Anja seemed like a very good, reasonable security officer, keeping the line between firm and fair. would be arrested by again.

I think it should be fine bypassing whitelists. Antag rounds aren't canon after all, and it could be interesting playing a race you normally don't. Also yes, add pirates. And Russians.

I really like the idea of an assembly machine. I am fully in favor of it. The idea pencil-necked roboticists lifting up a thousand pound steel arm, and attaching it to the chassis with no effort is a bit silly. However the only thing I'm not so sure about is putting another 'if this breaks your job is fucked' item in the game. Though I guess robotics is rarely a target for antags anyway. So yeah, I think this idea is fantastic. My only concern is if there's room in Robotics for it. Edit: Also this would be a good place to make upgrade parts like lasers and manipulators matter. If the machines could be made to work faster or something similar, with upgraded parts (or even REQUIRE upgraded parts to build more advanced mechs!!!) that would give research some incentive to actually use those.

Reporting Personnel: Nazih Jawdat Rank of Reporting Personnel: Pharmacist Personnel Involved: Nazih Jawdat, Pharmacist. Anja Livingstone, Security Officer. Jade Rathel, Security Officer. Time of Incident: 14:15 Real time: 20:04 PST 29/11/15 Location of Incident: Brig Nature of Incident: [X]Workplace Hazard [X]Accident/Injury [X]Neglect of Duty Overview of the Incident: He was arrested. When he was arrested he was locked in a cell in the brig, and not given access to the brig common area, despite being a nonviolent 'offender', and having surrendered himself willingly and having asked specifically to be given access to the common area so he could obtain food for himself. (He had been arrested for accessing the kitchen cold room, for this express purpose. He did not break and enter.) However, the main problem of his incarceration came after the fact. He walked about his cell, with no means of occupying himself, and eventually he leaned on a wall. What he did not realize was that the 'wall' was a cell window that had been previously vandalized, exposing an electrified grate to the open air. When his hand made contact he was very severely burned and put at risk of serious infection. It was only the quick intervention of another officer (Jade Rathel) and the fact that he'd been arrested carrying medical supplies that ensured he did not risk severe, potentially fatal infection. Such a hazard should not have been left unattended and he should not have been put in the cell with it, when there were undamaged cells readily available (all other cells were empty.) Did you report it to a Head of Staff or IAA? If so, who?: Yes, Internal Affairs Agent, Aaron Blomquest Additional notes: Potential Witnesses: Jade Rathel, Aaron Blomquest. While the Agent Blomquest was informed of the event, the offending officer entered cryogenic storage before any action could be pursued on the station.

The trespassing, he concedes, may at least have been a fair charge, as he climbed the kitchen counter and entered the cold room (which he has access to, he did not need to break in) to cook some food for himself and others on the crew. Officer Livingstone caught him, searched his things, and when he would not admit wrongdoing, arrested him for trespassing and 'contraband'. The 'contraband' he had was a syringe of sedative (2.5 units chloral hydrate, 12.5 units sleep toxin( in a box of syringes in his bag. He surrendered willingly, despite his verbal protests that he had done nothing wrong. When he was arrested he was locked in a cell in the brig, and not given access to the brig common area, despite being a nonviolent 'offender', and having surrendered himself willingly and having asked specifically to be given access to the common area so he could obtain food for himself. (He had been arrested for accessing the kitchen cold room for food, recall,) However, the largest problem of his incarceration came after the fact. He walked about his cell, with no means of occupying himself, and eventually he leaned on a wall.

If so, who?: Yes, Internal Affairs Agent, Aaron Blomquest Additional notes: Aaron Blomquest later told him that his arrest for 'contraband' was not valid as the sedative was legitimately obtained and had legitimate purpose as part of his job.

I haven't seen much to like about Syion that would make me think he should ever be a head. He's your typical guy that sits back, makes inappropriate jokes over radio and generally trying to be funny rather than playing a proper character. When someone makes fun of a dying co-worker over the radio, just to be an asshole, it makes me pretty wary of the character. Just generally not the kind of person who would be employed for long, let alone promoted, and unfortunately I can't remember seeing any of your other characters. So my only experience has been with Richard, and I can't remember much positive with him.

This gets repeated a lot, but at least for Siik'maas this isn't the case. People are mixing it up with the other Tajaran language, which is less common.

"They're too close to chucklefucks to be allowed" We still have nuke ops and geneticists. Clowns seem harmless comparatively. I'd rather have clowns.

Ah, no, no. I was referring to the ancient days in which Vira De Satan was captain. You know, the only captain people feared to cross? That little feeling should apply for every captain, in general. I've seen maybe a few people do pretty well with fearing their corporate authority and all, but I don't see it enough as nameless random captain, myself. I'd only support lawyers/IAA becoming lawyers as long as procedure dictates that I get to throw them out the airlock for ambulance chasing. All I know aside from the fact that I typed a sentence and forgot to finish it, is that the other day when I saw Hypathia beat an insubordinate doctor to death with a toolbox, I'd never been more satisfied with a death in this game (until maybe an hour later when two 13 year olds playing racist stereotype characters got gunned down by security)

Edit: Withdrawing my +1. Very disappointed

I am also in favor of skull cracking. I feel like a lot of insubordination that happens. From The Bay Wiki It's oversimplifying to say the IAA outranks the captain, but they certainly have the authority to give someone the boot. Also of note. I think we need to treat IAAs more like that.

I just think the Duty Officers need to go to bat for IAA. IAA, last I checked anyway, is supposed to be the direct influence of CentCom on the station. Technically they outrank everyone. I mean not really, but sort of. People shouldn't be able to say "fuck off, IAA". So I don't think the lawyers are necessary. I just think we need IAAs to feel like they have weight. And since this would mean someone (Duty Officers, presumably?) would be reviewing the complaints, chucklefucks couldn't just use it as a bludgeon against security. If the complaint isn't valid, centcom can just say "pft. Naw."

I'm with Sue here. I'm not in favor of more 'mechanics' being added that influence things. Nevermind the coding resources this would take, it's more to learn in an already overcomplex game and is basically powergaming incarnate. You're gonna have people minmaxing. It's inevitable.

Good ol Akinator.

Valk is amazing. I thought he was a moderator, I don't know what the story is if he was, and then quit, or if I was just wrong about it, but I'd definitely be in favor of him being on the staff again.

This is the perfect solution to me. Slow down the rate of infection, nerf or even entirely eliminate automatic healing so people can't ignore that half their chest is melted off. Gives the medbay more meaningful interaction and actually makes them important.

So, to summarize what I've read here. From a lore standpoint, humans are vicious, smart, and ambitious. Skrell are just as smart, not as ambitious. Unathi are tough, maybe as ambitious, but not nearly as smart. Tajaran society is falling apart, and they aren't as ambitious anyway, and probably not as smart. Certainly not as advanced IPCs are new, not trusted, and as far as I know don't have a ton of a 'society' to speak of. And Diona are fucking trees. Too chill for their own good.

A few hours in Space Station 13 is an eternity. WE're talking here about infections that go insurmountably lethal in a few minutes. That's not fun. This is still a game, and that's not fun.

Well, I don't think I've seen any ideas here I like all that much as an alternative to brigging but the attitude of "you lost" is going to just lead to more powergaming. This isn't supposed to be about winning and losing, it's supposed to be about RP. So we need to find something that won't take long for security to do, but also won't be 'too easy' on prospective criminals.

Well, keep in mind phantom infections are a bug, and are not meant to be like that by design. Other infections are fairly easy to cure, no? Ointment/treat infected areas, give spaceacillin and antitox, and you're good to go. No, that's more how old infections went. Now, the infection goes internal and in a matter of maybe a minute, the patient goes from "mild infection" to "ACUTE INFECTION +++" on the advanced scanner, and starts crashing so hard that cryo doesn't work, and it took two doctors with two full beakers of medication to keep them alive and clear it up. Also each injection was bringing up a message saying "you don't see any useful way to inject this person" because they were crashing so hard they needed cryo but couldn't go in the cryo because of their body temperature. And then he died afterward anyway. I don't know if it was 'phantom infection' or what. DO we have medicine IVs? I know we have them for blood, but it's been a damn long time since I've had to use one. Can you put medicine on them? That'd probably help, keeping the person on a drip of antitoxin or something.

I don't care about realism too much, but I just think as they are right now they're really not fun.

Well then it should show up on the scanner, because all it said was 'acute infection', and then after a stupidly long and difficult treatment, there was no infection, then boom, dead patient. I like infection as a concept. I just think the way it is right now requires more hands than the game allows, and, for one thing, encourages people to just let the patient die rather than go the difficult route (not something I would ever do, but definitely an attitude I've seen) and also takes up SO MUCH time and resources, it's really a bit absurd. I think infection and consequences are good. I just think it advances into borderline untreatability way too quickly. What I would do is make necrosis a thing that pops up, so amputation or organ replacement is necessary, but maybe don't make it deadly so quickly and suddenly? Also I think the time it takes infection to set in is probably too fast. The patient should AT LEAST have time to make it to the damn medbay if they head there immediately. Or at least make it more obvious to the patient that something is wrong. I guess IC, currently, the best solution is if anyone has a decent amount of damage taken, to keep them under observation to make sure they don't get an infection, which is probably realistic, BUT maybe not the best thing in terms of game mechanics.
