this is an outrage!

+1 for several reasons 1, Danse is by far one of the best of any leaders I've known in the entirety of ss13 2, Danse is cool headed when it comes to stressful shit. Trust me I've seen it. 3, He plays any job I've seen him run with more immersion then I've seen out of alot of people. alright that's enough dick sucking from me. give the homie a chance.

+1 great RD and great leader all around.

The thing is only an idiot gets caught with metagaming a roundtype. It would make it easier to easily, subtly prepare for the different antags of each roundtype and make the life of any powergamer that has an above 2 digit IQ that much easier. I like the idea but it's sort of a double-edged sword. My revision to it would be "If you get blocked from the round through this method, you cannot play the round and only can Observe." or some shit like this.

Not going to lie this could absolutely be used to metagame the shit out of gamemodes. What if you opt out of a game mode then just spawn in anyways through latejoining? You would know what game mode it is unlike everyone else ((implying secret is the game mode))

You are a great roleplayer just in general LT, be it back on Escal where you got so fucking involved with your role that you went completely sicko mode and literally carried the whole of our team with your dedication and roleplaying shit to how great you are on aurora. Coenraad is a fantastic character and you play him as great as you played the LT I so came to love back in the day. 10/10 character and 10/10 player

My biggest thoughts on it are that we need an increase in pain from the guns, maybe a little bit more damage from headshots.

+1 you absolute madman I can't wait to see the game

It was great, I wasn't playing as the character I wanted to play as (got stuck as my medical cyborg instead of my CT) But I feel like I had way more fun originally trying to find any cure we could then just going around, scavving supplies, and rescuing survivors of the outbreak while some actual resident evil 2-3 shit was going on all around.

"So why exactly is it a bad to have a weapon on your belt, but not in a hostler. There is 0 mechanical difference between these two things other than 'you can see the weapon'. It's one click to put them into your hand." Actually there's a major difference, the holster item lets me use my H key on my keyboard to instantly draw and fire exactly where my mouse cursor is pointing. While if it were in a belt I would have to move my cursor to click the gun then move it back to what I want to shoot, the holster is much faster.

"You rushed to the door the moment you saw me, I had assumed you were going to take it by force anyway. I had no context as to why you had invaded the brig, all of your guns were drawn and I had assumed you had already attacked other officers judging by how quickly you ran towards the door when I entered the hallway, not to mention, you had already opened it within a second of when I drew my gun. If you had at least made an attempt to explain what you were doing instead of screaming at me to surrender and freeze while running at me, then it could have turned out differently." That makes sense now that you explain it, I admit I should have considered your lack of understanding what was going on in the brig into the situation into our short interaction. I will take this into consideration in the future, I am still VERY much new to antagging on an HRP server as the last HRP server I played on had zero antags enabled. Thank you for the clarification and I sincerely apologize for my part in making the situation less then desirable for you.

"You didn't give me a single second to respond. You immediately went in to take it by force despite the fact I very literally have to take the rifle into my own hands so I can drop it. Even if I wasn't going to do that, your reaction was immediately hostile which does nothing to promote RP let alone justify your actions." I gave you as much time as it took you to draw your firearm, which you did not state at all your intention of dropping it thus I immediately assumed that you were going to open fire on me. (Which you did) If you really were going to drop the gun, why did you not do it as I stepped out of sec instead of shooting at me? I guarantee that if I had seen you drop it you would not have gotten shot down and the entire situation would have been entirely different. My reaction I believe is justified because in all honesty what would any smart person do if somebody wordlessly pulled a gun on them while they have a gun already on the person? They'd shoot the bastard for pulling on them.

"At this point I unfortunately contracted appendicitis and had to quickly check out what it was at the Medbay. They couldn't cure me because the mercs had stolen all the surgical equipment so I told them to give me painkillers and made my way back to the brig. I realise, as I walk through the front door of sec, four guys in red inside of the hallway above the waiting area, under the armoury. One of them yells at me to put my weapon down and surrender while the other one(Unfortunately I have forgotten who) decides to bum-rush me through the door without even giving me a second to respond. I open fire since the guy immediately opens the door so technically I fired first but I believe I was more than justified as I was literally a tile away from the door. Then began the first firefight of the round and my last since I got my legs shot off and then got hacked to death by someone with a sword. " I'm glad you brought this up as you are whom I had been describing as "Lobby guy" I did tell you to get on the ground but you opted to draw a laser rifle, I opened the door to attempt to to take it by force when you opened fire on me.

"But you chased after him man with that gun in your hand. I watched you do it. You can say that, sure. but.... Look at things a bit more creatively than the weapon in your reach.You have every ability to not only catch him, but get in a little hostage torture (or mental trauma at least). Anything outside the box. This whole round was "let's steal stuff". Something seen a million times over. You didn't bother trying to create a story, and that janitor was the PERFECT platter handed to you. Instead, you opted to shoot at him. Congratulations. As bland as the 50,000 other heisters." I chased after him for an extremely short amount of time before my team stopped me which ended horribly with an injured team mate after they tried to disarm me and got themselves shot in the head thanks to the gun struggle mechanic, which caused me to re-evaluate the situation which ended up with me trying to scare Engineering to open up with a bomb, (I made it very clear to my team that I did not intend to blow it) that failed horribly with the Engineers calling me out on the bluff so I Just said "Fuck it I'm a liability at this point" so I grabbed willow and fucked off to the ship, The Janitor wasn't who we needed as a hostage as we were only grabbing willow for a bounty placed on her in the contracts menu is basically what I'm getting at here. I wasn't the one that wrote up the plan I was just trying to follow along with what everyone else was doing.

"So he did actually do something? Because from my perspective, he ran down the hallway and you fired off at him, and only stopped because Ada stepped in and told you not to. Also, a lit bottle of vodka isn't going to hurt you in that rig you were wearing. Prioritize dude. Capture the man. Beat him. Make him pay for coming after you. But don't just go "derp, unarmed janitor now. I can shoot him and kill him and that's chill" Put some EFFORT into your antag mate." To explain why I did what I did over "just a little vodka" honestly didnt know the mechanics involving Molotovs, I didn't know if the fire would spread, stick, or honestly what to expect from it up until he threw it at me. I fired one shot at him to get him to fuck off, zero intentions on killing him here is an image proving that I absolutely intended NOT to shoot to kill, but to harm as a way of saying "Fuck you for trying to light me on fire": https://gyazo.com/a5d2a014a889b1d679adadac46cc75d0

2)Willow Harper being taken hostage. I have NO issue with her being taken hostage. Thank Christ some sort of player/antag interaction was finally happening. I'm also thankful you didn't straight up just murder me for standing there. My issue is what happened right AFTER she was handcuffed. This poor, unsuspecting, UNARMED Janitor walked down the hallway and went smack into the scene where the mercs were kidnapping Harper right in front of my character Quinn. One of you (and I need an admin to check logs to confirm which one it was) decided to use the poor man as target practice for literally no reason? Like none at all? He had no RP between the mercs. He wasn't going to harm you. He showed no intent on valid'ing ya'll. but he got shot at. I THINk Kyres stepped in ICly after that idiot merc just randomly started shooting at that janitor. Know why I have an issue with this? You're. Meant. To. Push. A. Plot. And. Roleplay. With. The. Crew. Randomly shooting at an unarmed janitor because you think it makes you look like some kind of cool edgelord ICly isn't a good antag action, and you should really be ashamed at that level of "RP' (or lack there off. I really kinda feel bad for that player during that moment.) Right to clarify, I shot ONE shot at the Janitor because he had previously thrown a Molotov at me and I wanted to spook the fuck off before he had a chance to potentially throw another one at me. https://gyazo.com/edfdece1985bb2bb94f9ab76f0a76b1c Image as proof that he attempted to firebomb me, love how there is zero text for the fact that the floor lit on fire however.

"I literally just posted a screenshot of the logs of you shooting the Warden twice - granted burst fire, didn't notice that the first time - without any sort of indication of why, and getting called out in LOOC by your own team for it. I edited my post to clarify what I was getting at, the officer had zero clue as far as I know that the Warden had been shot, thus that was not the reason the fight broke out, if you read my post describing the situation from my point of view it explains what really went down with the lobby officer. my apologies for that bit of confusion.

"You actually instantly shot at the Warden and tried to double tap him in the armory as soon as you came in to view after a single sentence, even being called out by the other mercs on the instant attempt at shooting him. So security did try to play along until you shot the Warden, resulting in an officer in the lobby returning fire, resulting in all the officers to then get up from the armory and start the firefight. " I didn't try to double tap him though otherwise I would have just done it, I actually had my gun set on burst and didn't realize it until I fired. Also the officer in the lobby didn't show up until a couple moments after I'd taken all the headsets, after you guys had bandaged up the Warden. I see absolutely nowhere in my logs where any mention was on sec radio, or even general radio that the Warden had been shot, thus the lobby officer had no tip off to start fighting.

"After taking the Captain's spare, and after taking the Vault hardsuits, they come to Security. They kill one officer for no reason, and begin to slaughter the rest, who retreat. The rest of the round is Security being shot at and killed by a much more heavily equipped team, who are stealing things, and not interacting with anyone at all, unless it is to tell them to get out of their way, or to kill them. They at no point try to rectify the original unjust and unquestionably rule-breaking murder, but instead continue to assault Security. Here's what happened from a merc's POV on the situation in sec. We agreed to go to the armory to attempt to steal the guns, to slow down Security's response. We rushed to the armory and found three officers inside, I specifically told them to get down, which they did (One of them was going to try to flashbang us but I shot in his direction, hitting him once and he dropped it) and I proceeded to do my normal hostage securing routine. Taking headsets and the like, I saw the solo officer running up and told him to get down, He proceeded to pull a Laser rifle instead so I fired at him, however due to the three officers NOT being secured properly as hostages, they hopped back up and began to fire at us, getting me into one hell of a crossfire as the sec borg ran up on us and made his attempt, Our team only "Slaughtered" the officers because they decided to open fire on us.

"- DickFreedomJohnson who instigated hostilities by shooting an Officer for no reason, LOOCing, "Welcome to KoS" as he engaged an Officer who questioned the murder, and screamed in OOC, "TWICE I HAVE WON MERC IN A ROW" after the round. By accounts of both sides- and himself- he was playing to win. " To start I'd like to explain that I like to shitpost and shittalk in OOC. With that out of the way my situation goes like this, with the admin logs able to back me up, For the most part I'd told Security to get down, but after having gone into crit not once but twice without them so much as trying to talk, I'd come to the conclusion that Sec as a whole wasn't going to play along with attempting to be a hostage, thus when I saw him, I shot the last two shots of my SMG at him and let him run off. He posted in LOOC questioning it and I admit I could have explained it better however I and the other mercs were on a timeclock to get out shit done. I take the accountability for that slip up. Another point I'd like to make that the hostilities were practically over at that moment because this was after the two firefights in sec, there was nobody really left as far as I know to really have hostilities ramped up on.
