I usually try to sit down and talk with a prisoner if: A. I'm not busy or preoccupied with something else. B. I'm particularly focused on the game as of the moment. C. They're not making unreasonable trouble for a minor crime.

I guess we should mention Lifeweb, despite the reputation around the game and the kind of stigma it has, their team is really developing some cool stuff for the Byond engine. You have 4 stats: STR: How hard you can hit and how much you can carry. HT: How much punishment you can take. DEX: How fast your reflexes are, and how good you can hit people. INT: How brainy you are. In the end, these stats can be easily manipulated through occult rituals, narcotics or just training for the round. But they don't particularly matter, I've once slaughtered an entire team of well trained, and well equipped players with my bare hands, wits and abysmal stats and skills in Lifeweb. If we don't make throw in some RNGesus to the mix it removes a sense of uncertainty and danger with every conflict along the way. During that scenario if anyone got a lucky hit, sliced an artery or tendon I was boned. I didn't have the medical skills to treat the wound, nor the contacts to really help me. In order to serve the purpose this system was originally put in place for, it has to have preset skills in order to mitigate power gaming. What do we do about our master hand-to-hand combat engineer who took Judo classes or something. Your character's background should fit into the mold of the role. Yes, it would be somewhat difficult to explain from an IC standpoint why your character just became a lot more stupid, weak and wimpy than he was yesterday but I believe we can suspend our disbelief for this little point. EDIT: We're just talking theory, anything in this thread is really just wishmaking.

Please add, these will be infinitely better than any catbeast.

I'd like to pitch in considering I was observing the whole ordeal at the time. This round was a horrible mess that ran on for nearly five hours. Of course people are going to make mistakes, and while Alberyk was definitely in the wrong, with the amount of miscommunication and conflict going on station-side, he could not be held wholly accountable for his actions. I suggest you look to Alberyk's perspective and try to understand how it's like to be proactively involved with the situation station-side, as you were from what I can see, actively avoiding involvement in conflict, which is of course reasonable.

Good, I'd rather have disadvantaged IPC's rather than OP ones. I enjoy the roleplay opportunities IPCs represent and having them be weak sauce, easily replaceable hunks of metal is fun.

bump gr8 rp here guse

realize how fucking edgey I am and just go and release singuloth.

Brage is cool m'kay, and he can RP well and this will make an obvious point even more obvious

Alberyk's pretty robust overall. He can competently roleplay a character, and has gone a long way since Aaron damn Hawkins.

The burly hillbilly simply pushes the IPC away, and begins scanning the crowd watching in horror. He opens his mouth, and with a boisterous belch, he shouts, "Seein' as yer ol' mayer, or law enfercemen' is, ahem..." The man reaches for something that appears to be hooked to his belt, and struggles to remove it. You quickly realize that in his hand is the dismembered head of the previous sheriff. The eyes appear to be gouged out, leaving only maggot-infested sockets. A large wound appears to have cut the head from the top right ear, to lower jaw. What were once beautiful golden locks of hair, remain a tattered, stringy and bloody mess. He lifts the head up, and chucks it towards a nearby gash bin, the crowd stares silently, a few nearby people have began to retch. The Hillbilly says, in a somewhat calm matter as if to grab the crowd's attention, "...'as beey'n caught in odd circumstances. Now'a folks, I'm'a cut'a straight'a t'a the 'oint a' all a' t'is. I'm'a yer new Sheriff! Sheyr-iff Rand-ay Macta-veesh, replacin' ol' Sheriff Mosby!" The room is silent, and you get the chance to truly size up what Randy Mactavish looks like. His body is flabby and soft, with a large gut tightening his tank top to the point of exposing his underbelly. His hair is balding, with long oily strands bunched up underneath an old straw hat. But what truly is the most striking feature, is the dilapidated state of his teeth. Broken, chipped and rotten, it looks as if he has spent his entire life eating dirt, and a brush has never even grazed those teeth. He smells of feces, urine and grape soda. Groups of orphans begin bunching up around the crowd, eager to get a bite of some Tajara meat. Hunger can make someone go into the most frightening of circumstances, and chopped up Tajara tastes far better than mice and roaches. Normally, most residents can go without eating an Unathi, Skrell or Tajara for at least a month. But, orphans live off of the remains of the common tussles, eager to rob the drunkards and the poor old ladies who go a'wandering. But even those as foolish as them know not to get close, normally by now they'd have picked the bodies down to the bone.

Jesus christ, alright. Not being able to go through my teammates while in the middle of combat would be a royal pain. You're making a game even more clunky than it has to be. You don't even need safety, just git gud.

I accidentally let my nephew, a little young girl, watch Predator (Arnie movie). Grand Theft Auto Five is the only game in recent memory that has made me shed a tear. I watch an Arnold movie, or Firefly before I go to sleep. I really fucking love Commando.

As suggested by Hive, for the last few months every nuke round I have gotten Ops. I do not know why. It is a curse yet a gift. So, we should rename this mode to Hackie mode, for it represents everything I am, while everything I am not.

Two things 1. 2.

An overweight man, dressed in a stained T-shirt and denim vest, wielding a fire axe charges towards the fight. He's screaming at the top of his voice, "LISTEN TO MY APACHE WAR CRY! YAAATATATATATATATATATATTATATATTATA!" He swings his axe like a maniac, and a flurry of limbs, heads arms and legs begin flying about, both human and Tajaran. His garbled war cry was drowned out by the screams of humans, and the yowls of Tajara. In a matter of seconds, all that is left are the mangled remains of what might have been a group of people, and fleeing cowards. The man pants, and leans on his axe as he begins chewing his nails to get what looks like... chunks of a brain?

I've played with this guy, this guy is a good guy.

Basically, I haven't been very active, so I can't give an opinion that it up with the times. Cliques are never at fault until they are openly hostile to a new player/character. It's never a clique's fault until they decide that a perfectly good roleplayer shouldn't belong in their little self-contained bubble. People should try to instigate, not turtle up and wait for someone to come. The absolute most horrible thing I've seen, is when a group of friends go to a bar, lock the counter or table up and simply ignore other characters. But, I know that you can be open and accepting and run around absorbing people into your little hamster ball, so they're still bad in my opinion. tl;dr players need to instigate, cliques need to accept. Everyone sucks

To be honest, the best choice you have is to pick a relatively slow round, and find someone to, 'cling' to. Ask them for a beer, or ask to be their partner. This develops relationships with one-another, and it's a great way to make friends. A lot of people are cool dudes, so pick generally lesser known characters, if you talk to each other you can develop backstories, improve skills and encourage people to read the lore. For example, if you want a really close-knit group of rebels pick Engineering. It's not too awfully hard, and most people are willing to give a helping hand. Now, Vanagandr's list. What is a clique? clique klēk,klik/Submit noun a small group of people, with shared interests or other features in common, who spend time together and do not readily allow others to join them. synonyms: coterie, set, circle, ring, in-crowd, group What do they look like? They don't have an appearance, but a good idea is a close group of friends in character and out of character. Departments usually form large cliques. Why are they so world-shatteringly terrible? Because it is a literal hamster-ball of toxicity that will form a large indestructible force of death if you step on a member's toe. Or, simply just exclude you from their ERP. Some are bad, some are dear-god-please-kill-this-with-fire. What is "toxic" RP? Basically, it's like clawing someone to crit because they called you a cat. Generally, it's just shitty RP, being a dick for no reason other than, 'muh edge'.
