How do you think TCB should be handled with such a system?

Get real 😎

I wish not for a selfish custom item, but for tajara hair nets for the kitchen (serious)

It's this time of the year again

have you ever thought about asking a coder if it is hard or not?

well, I agree that it machine itself could be named differently to something more sci-fi(ish). IC the fax and fax machines work independently from telecomms - both the Aurora and the Odin (as are most of not all interstellar vessels and station) are fitted with a blespace communications arry - it utilizes, as the name implies, actual bluspace (hence the "could be" unreliability) instead of radio waves or something similar. So the tech behind is is actually lore friendly and sci-fi, just not the name of the thing itself. Maybe we can re-name it for NBT, if it really is needed, since the distances there are even greater.

Honestly - pretty good read. More stuff and fluff like this is always good. And this reads like good fluff. I like it.

its not a plot hole its a technical limitation.

People are told not to do it - at best only when the shuttle is already in transit. You could expand this argument to "why do faxes exist when there are long-range holocomms" etc. etc. I guess you could force the Odin to be on a different NTnet but why bother if you can just /not/ do it.

Sorry to tell you, but that was actually me. I wrote the replies and boarded as the overseeing agent. It was not actually planned to die that that but such can be the game! I thought it would give the round a bit more traction. The full welcoming committee was also actually me as the Commander and Prate as the CCSA, together with some ghosts from dchat as the troopers. But I am happy to read you liked it, I try to do things like these whenever I can and in the capacity I am able to.

Fellow gamers, once more I have a life (and game) changing suggestion. When you have a glass in hand and click on someone with the glass in the active hand and THEY also have a glass in their active hand - they get a prompt if they want to make a toast with you! This basically means a sound plays of clinking glasses. Isn't that great? You could even extend that range one tile so you can do it over tables. How about that?

All experimental chemicals are currently broken. So until that is resolved...

Most suprising thing I read so far, Colfer playing an actual character :^^^^^^^^^^^) more seriously, I didnt know the numbers of burn and laser damage and it does sound ridiculous. A normal human has around 5-6 liters of blood. Instantly getting evaporized 15% of it equals would be ~750 ml just deleted from your body. You would have a lot of problems if that would happen. I know, I say it myself that real life cannot always be applied to SS13, I just wanted to say it for comparison. It should be nerfed a lot. I actually feel guns need a big balancing patch(tm) across the board probably. Maybe I look into this with the help of a coder.

I actually think this is a pretty great idea

Oh, I thought we were only talking about AI/Command, my bad. I agree with you, it should just be added to every application format.

You literally acknowledge this when applying

I respect that, it's one of the reasons I don't play antags myself anymore. We should make things easier for the few that do, though. At worst, give them the benefit of the doubt that they dont want to ruin your round on purpose.

Comparing 2 hour rounds with week long Pen and Paper campaigns is more than lacking. Compare it with an one shot if you really must and even there I had more than one character die or let die. It's really not a good comparison you are drawing. Yes. If it makes sense and there is a reason behind it someone can kill your character. What gimmicks have you brought to Aurora so far? I'd like to hear examples made by you during the time you played here, since your standards to "good antag play" seem to be quite high.

I 100% agree with Marlon here again. It is also pretty insulting to indirectly imply that people who play more than one character have characters with "not enough depth" or something similar. You choose to play a singular character, this is fine, a lot of players do that, but this does not elevate you over others. If you dont have another character, then play a ghost role, maintenance drone or whatever. What you write is exactly the "problem" that is discussed here in length. Roleplay does not mean you are always 100% in control of what happens with or around your character. Calling other players boring and unoriginal, just because they don't come up with a never before seen gimmick before is also just really rude. The argument about time restraints is also very subjective. During work/uni days and even during some saturdays and sundays I can only play 1 round (sometimes even none, believe it or not) and how much time you can play a video game every day is simply a non-argument on why someone should be allowed to kill you in-game or not. Aurora is also far from being focused death and destruction. I abstain from quoting your post apart because Marlon already said everything nessecary, but still, some things you wrote really make me scratch my head and make it look like you have a very narrow-minded view on how a good antagonist play should look like. This is by no means an insult, this is just how your post makes it appear to be.

No, I think it could be similar to the new PR system where people who have shown to be trusted with "moderating" this can have the same ability to veto a story. To take the workload from staff, you know what I mean?
