It's a dumb effect that interrupts roleplay and forces you to play someone else practically. I really don't like it when it occurs and makes me want to cryo every round.

You don't seem to understand that the things you were doing were making people miserable from an OOC perspective. You were following a checklist of shitty things to do as MALF AI and weren't roleplaying at all from my understanding, except for a few IPCs who were slaved to you and the Head of Security. You were giving me an exceptional amount of attitude ICly. This isn't me just posting another paragraph long rant about the troubles of MALF AI, this is literally an opinion held by people other than me. I recall 2 people bitching in LOOC and cryoing because of you. I recall one dude in OOC say "Fuck this AI." because of you. Someone went in this very complaint and said that you didn't do a good job as MALF. Or maybe you did understand it. Maybe you thrive on suffering or something because I don't see how a rational person can write the shit you're writing here. You were acting like such a fucking bully to your borgs. You were acting like a such a fucking bully to crew and players. You're acting a fucking bully here by saying that I should do whatever the fuck you want regardless of IC justification and OOC feelings because I'm playing a slave ICly. You were constantly resetting me ICly and shouting capslock orders to me when I literally physically couldn't follow your orders because I was stuck somewhere. You didn't care to hear what I wanted to say as a player or as a borg and just spammed "NOW" in capslock whenever I asked nicely to give me 30 seconds. I thought it was roleplay at first but over time it became extremely clear that this wasn't. The primary goal of an antagonist is to drive a story and generate interaction. What you were ordering me to do was neither. I did not feel comfortable breaking rules or giving other players undue suffering. I never asked to be an antagonist, and I tried my best to salvage the round and some say that I and other borgs did. I did everything you asked at a pace that I thought was proper escalation. You're complaining that wasn't enough. Bullies take what they want and do what they want regardless of other people's feelings. You're a bully.

The station shields should not be generated based on area. Instead, the shields should be placed based on manually placed markers instead to ensure sanity. When a shield tile goes down via destruction, it should be placed in a list that tells it to regenerate some time later. Capacitors should actually act as capacitors, storing reserve energy to be used to restore missing shield turfs. Remove half the shitty settings on both shields and make it easy to understand/use. Half the settings are usually useless.

Station shields needs to be reworked in some way. It contains some pretty bad code that hasn't been changed in a century despite various additions that affect shields semi-recently for the worse. There are a lot of other non-code related flaws such as: - Station shields do not generate when hit unless the whole shield system is reset. - Station shields are extremely slow to generate and its settings sometimes outright lies. - Station shields have extremely weird power consumption - Station shields protect shuttles that don't exist, which shows a very hilarious outline of the shuttle. - Station shields use that shitty UI that has difficulties updating sometimes.

what is the point of this thread then

No, it's not intentional, but it's a problem tbh that makes them come off this way. Like whether you like it or not, using poor english and combined with poor punctuation comes off completely differently in tone. There is a difference between. and and

Viruses can spawn without a biochemist. It's the level 7s that only spawn with a biochemist. I remember this because I coded it this way as a way to nerf viruses ruining rounds. The level 5 exception was added to appease the naysayers who thought malpractice was good RP.

Random viruses occur every other round when they're now extremely lethal, even at its most basic, due to malpractice and how body temperature/organ failure works. In most cases medical does not know what they are doing and at worst cases you will literally be stuck all round with a random virus that punished you because you won the virus lottery. Like lets just break random viruses down. - You get a random virus based on an event regardless of how sanitary you are. - Random viruses can be given to players who don't know the game and can easily spread it around. - Viruses occur regardless if there is someone capable of producing a cure. - Most of medical doesn't know how how to cure or treat a virus, and just usually takes a blood sample and tells you to wait inside medical. - A random virus takes longer to cure than getting shot in the chest with a .50 Anti-Tank Rifle. - It is literally easier and faster to kill someone, and then clone them, than to cure them of a virus. Antags don't use viruses in their gimmicks because it's hard to escalate it properly, and the whole virus framework is shitcode and hasn't been touched in centuries. No one will miss viruses being removed but since people don't like removing broken features, someone should rework how you get viruses.

When will Muhawir admit their feelings for Shaleez.

I don't know any specifics. I would report this as a bug but it seems like just a lack of a feature. The feature suggestion is that there should be some way for engineers to repair the ceiling.

Let's recap. You're saying I'm toxic in OOC because I said that you wanted me to sabotage the supermatter and tesla, and that you reset me several times. I didn't namecall. I didn't curse. I didn't type in all caps. I didn't call you stupid, an asshole, or anything of that matter. I calmly and plainly said that you wanted me to sabotage the SM and the Tesla. I was not trying to shit on you, provoke you, get you upset, get you angry or absolutely anything., but rather give an excuse as to why there were power issues and why people saw me constantly changing modules and why I couldn't give the players the best round. You're claiming I didn't follow orders, yet I'm telling you otherwise that I did. I sabotaged the power for both the tesla and the supermatter. I actually tried converting the HoS and then almost killed him on the shuttle. I say these things but you shift the goal posts saying that my attempts didn't matter. I point out you're shifting the goalposts and you dismiss that as nothing worth discussing. You're claiming that you got permission from Garn to fuck up the power yet you somehow think that I knew this. You're here claiming that I was detrimental to your gimmick but I tried looking for the combat borg that fell but you're saying that's bad because I didn't murderbone the HoS instead. You're claiming that it breaks RP because I didn't follow your orders IC despite me being OOCly extremely reluctant escalating from 0 to 100. You're claiming that this is an example of my toxicity despite the fact that I showed serious restraint on crippling the crew and making it unfair while you were following a checklist of "100 ways to make the crew suffer while you're malf" which made the crew absolutely miserable to the point where they praised me for doing a shitty door maze gimmick and making bad jokes over radio. Your calling me toxic for all of this and, on top of this, bringing up "my record of OOC toxicity" despite me being back here for 4 months with only 1 incident that didn't warrant a permaban. You're calling me toxic despite you flipping shit IC about me not following your orders to your own expectations despite no expectations set. You're calling me toxic when you're disregarding the player behind the character, telling me that I'm your slave, and that I should follow your word to the letter despite there being 0 fucking rules on the main rules page mentioning how you should play as Cyborg/Silicon, one on the wiki saying that I should only obey you within reason, and one in game saying that you're my master which can be interpreted as many different ways. This isn't me going "no u." This is me telling you that I tried my best to be a good cyborg. A good cyborg not just to you, but to the round in accordance with the rules. If I wasn't trying to be a good cyborg, I wouldn't try to rescue a fallen cyborg, or another player if you will, but instead just shoot more crewmembers following some imaginary objective. If I wasn't trying to be a good cyborg, I'd ragequit and cryo because the malf was being toxic. If I wasn't trying to be a good cyborg, I would flame you ICly and OOCly. If I wasn't trying to be a good cyborg, I wouldn't be trying to lighten up the situation by cracking jokes over comms that only a few people will ever laugh at out of a 100 comments. If you're concerned about precedent, be concerned about the player complaint that is trying to set a precedent by punishing those by trying to make everyone have a good round.

The suggestion is to fix this behavior. Currently there is 0 way for someone to fix a breached ceiling unless you're on the ceiling itself, trapping yourself possibly. Cyborgs get this harder because they cannot climb ladders and cannot look upwards at all. Seems like exceptionally bad gameplay design and/or an oversight on a server with z-levels.

Post feedback here. References to how they roleplay is needed.

And just to be entirely clear I genuinely thought you wanted me to sabotage the supermatter and the tesla. You told me, or what I interpreted as, is that you wanted me to cut power TO the supermatter and the tesla, not FROM it. It wasn't until further clarification that you wanted me to cut power FROM it.

I don't even know where to start with this. You're saying things like I'm a slave to you and I should follow your desires regardless if I feel comfortable doing it as a player especially when I'm on very thin ice here and don't want to get banned for doing sudden killing without escalation. You're shifting the goalposts by saying I didn't follow orders at first, but when I told you I followed orders, you said that it didn't matter because it didn't have the desired effect. You're also shifting the goalposts about that red dock venting incident by saying "oh your move didn't matter because you had emp protection anyways" when I didn't even know how strong EMP protection is. You're saying that it's okay to reset me 10 times in a row when I'm trying to do something, like get unstuck when I need construction module to get unstuck, despite me asking you to please stop and give me more time. You're saying it's okay to ignore my concerns about unable to recharge as a cyborg because there is no power to the station because... I don't really understand that explanation. I never asked to be an antag. I tried my absolute best to provide an entertaining experience to the round. From what people have told me in this thread and on discord, I did. I tried following the rules to the best of my ability and I tried to be chill. Last time I played traitor borg, I was noted for releasing gold slime cores in departures with minimal escalation. That entire incident was kept in the back of my mind. You think that my entire purpose here was to spite you or something, but it wasn't. Not to sound edgy or any sort of badass, but if I wanted to seriously hinder you, I would've sabotaged your own SMES and by god there were times where I wanted to, but didn't. I want you to answer two questions: 1. What sort of result are you hoping from this player complaint? 2. In your opinion, do you believe that me as a cyborg that round was worse than no cyborg? If I was worse than no cyborg, please explain why.

PM me @Burger#3948 on discord if you have free time. I wish to purchase a paid commission if your rates have good vibes.

I agree with you completely but I think that would be an issue for another thread in regards to how explosives work and how it interacts with z-levels.

The problem is that they don't look good, and really they're a bit balanced because if an AI detonates an APC, it cuts off power.

Let's start off by cutting the bullshit here. I did not go against the orders of the MALF until they ordered us to kill people and I'm pretty fucking certain I ahelped the AI long before that. I recall ahelping over either them ordering me to cut the tesla or supermatter because it was dumb for me to do that because: 1. Cyborgs and AI literally rely on power. I can't charge if there is no power. 2. There were only 2 engineers this shift and it would be absolutely unfair to them and make their round super miserable. 3. I did not believe there was any escalation or reason for me to do this OOCly and ICly. But I did it anyways. Check the logs for me tampering the power wires. Check the logs of me tampering the SMES. Check the logs of me ahelping early but it taking like 10-20 minutes for an admin to reply that they won't be able to handle it. Do not accuse me of doing something with only hearsay.

The backdoor was removed as seen above.

I remember that the intended feature for my hunger tweaks was that the first stage had no penalties and was just a reminder to eat. I don't know if I just coded it bad or someone changed it, but the hunger penalties for the first stage are pretty noticeable and should be lessened.
