i gotta agree with the points ben raised. and also, as a HRP server, if a round has to have conflict in order for you to enjoy it... i dunno, that seems a little counterintuitive. you have to make your fun. it’s a role playing server. also, like, a lot of the rounds of MALF that i enjoyed were ones where neither of the things predicted, wiping the AI or delta, happened at all because the MALF came up with a fun (and peaceful- peaceful does not always mean bad, folks) way to involve everyone in the station. there’s multiple threads up right now that are calling for removal of stuff from the server. i know people on the forums like to scream about the meme that is “improve, not remove” and how it’s “””””malicious”””” but how is removing everything that some folks don’t like better? it is just a game, after all. if there’s something other people enjoy but you don’t, well, maybe take a step back and do something else for a little while. editing to add: if people really hate it that much, i wouldn’t see the problem in just making the game type less common.

when ling rounds are really good, they're really good when ling rounds aren't great, they're just kinda... well. extended with a dash of weird on the side. i don't think it'd be a great idea to remove it just because some ling rounds are slower than others. as yonni said, reworking some mechanics would work- but what i see more often than not is people just not doing enough when they're lings, other than "oh no sword arms"- not a fault of the game mode, more just... people not working with everything they have.

thats what i get for posting right after waking up

-snip- nothin on display here folks other than how stupid i really am

This is also my question. Removing from the lore would be a HARD no from me- mechanically I could get, I guess? Though I would be really upset to see it go - we're already super limited on when we can clone people, and recovering-clone RP is really nice to see and experience

Cow dad is a good boy in my book. (autocorrect changed your name and i can’t fix it, it’s too good) ive had very limited interaction with them so far, moreso on my visitor character than my main character, but every time they’re very helpful and patient. id also like to think that they’re down to earth, but again, limited interaction and all- but i’ve liked what i’ve seen so far. also, side note, i love characters with accents. i’m too lazy to do much of an accent, but you pull it off very well. i hope i get the chance to rp with them a bit more in the future, so i look forward to seeing them around ^^

i think khas’miera has been a WONDERFUL addition to cargo. as a QM main, it’s always pleasant when i have someone around that i know will actually get shit done without any active babysitting ^^’ as for her character, i think we may have spoken briefly on this before, but i’m happy to say it again: khas’miera is absolutely adorable and i would die for her. jokes aside, i really appreciate the depth and care you put into her character. i’ll admit i’m slightly biased from reading your taj app about her, but it makes all of her little quirks that you very consistently play out make a lot more sense. the cutest quirk that instantly comes to mind when thinking about her is that she’s always collecting cardboard for her kitten to build and play with. it’s just a tiny little detail that i really appreciate on top of everything else. your rp with her is fantastic, and i appreciate your ability to roll with the punches (as you unfortunately have to do with her a lot- damn carp) but it just adds to an already very fleshed out character. her fear rp is top tier and VERY understandable, and you know the limits on to when to make the fear rp comical and when it calls for being much more serious- which, again, is fantastic as some people are always either one or the other. overall i i don’t really think i have anything negative to say on her- it is a bit difficult to rp with her at times as a non-tajaran (but that’s just because you can get left out of conversations that you don’t understand, which can happen to anyone and is in no way a bad thing- you’re allowed to have private conversations!) and i know part of that is also just because she is a bit more reserved than most. which, again, makes sense when you know her backstory a bit more. just keep doin what you’re doin. i love khas ?

brutish is an incredible RPer who singlehandedly changed my characters views on security based on how they handle their character. they’re engaging and fun, and with how much people joke about Oscar probably being an untagged shell, i know brutish would be able to pull off an IPC with no trouble whatsoever. easy +1

gonna bump this since its been almost a couple months since the last post; i also want to include my discord in case there's anything anyone would like to talk about specifically about but don't feel comfortable posting ^^ natiform#4073 thank you!

i'm definitely one of the folks who follows their body around to see what happens/how people react. i love that you keep this in mind and having someone take a little time out of their day to acknowledge the person and give them a flower would probably just instantly make me cry like a baby. +1

i've said it before and i'll happily say it again: bear's RP is absolutely top-tier and his inclusiveness, patience, and willingness to teach people while not faulting them for their fuck-ups (speaking from plenty of firsthand experience here as i am prone to fuck-ups) is all the signs that bear would do absolutely incredible in a command position. he specifically goes out of his way to make sure people are included, and as Borya said, more dead-hour command is sorely needed. i'm excited to see any possible trial because i know bear would kill it ?

hell YES i LOVE any reason to add more horror to the game. i can't wait to see this

i think this is a fantastic idea!!! i'd really love for the psyches of the station to have more tools for their RP, as of right now they don't have much other than their office. And seeing someone all wrapped up in a blanket after a crisis situation would really help drive the RP and let other people around them know "this person is okay physically but maybe not mentally". honestly the fact that this isn't already a thing makes me sad. would you have more than one? but otherwise... +1!!!

ahhhhh my goooooood these are beautiful ;A; 10/10 if its not too much trouble, could i get your commission info? my discord is natiform#4073 ^^

please god yes get these boring sprites OUTTA HERE +1 even though i know i'll very rarely see these guys i still wanna shit my pants when i do see them because seeing them means very bad things are happening. i don't get that vibe from the old sprite at all.

also have to agree with the consensus here: the new design? very pretty! extremely well done! i appreciate the detail in the new sprites, for sure. the mail icon is really cute and a lot more forward than some random red blinking light. i just need color back. the fact that the case almost blends in with the screen throws me off a bit. my favorite thing about aurora is the colors. please don't take them away.

i have to agree with seeli. these new colors just make me sad to look at. if i wanted a desaturated, boring look to my sprites, i would go and play on bay or something. the fun part of aurora is that things are colorful and vibrant. please don't take that away.

as a cargo main, i tend to not really see rooster in-round very much, but i also tend to ghost rounds and watch- what i've seen from jackson is a lot of very solid RP, and his willingness to help continue to drive the story for the antags is very much a breath of fresh air. escalation is also very appropriate and handled well. its gonna be a +1 from me dawg

oh my GOD I STILL feel bad about this!! ;_; i'm pretty sure that this was within my first week of actually playing ss13 and definitely my first time doing any antag stuff. i was so shaky with nerves and had no idea that clicking in a direction, even without harm intent, would shoot the gun. it was, after all, my first time holding a gun. i'm still really thankful to you for being so patient with me while i learn. you've been my antag guide a couple times now! and i have since learned that antag stuff is not for me lol (at least until i am more comfortable with certain mechanics) i wish more people had your approach with new players, as your willingness to teach and patience are what helped me want to stick around and keep trying at the game. cause messing up and getting shit on is really demoralizing, but you never once did so. so honestly, really, thank you for what you did and continue to do. it really meant a lot to me

i am summoning @BRAINOS to this thread because i know he has some good ones

i've also gotta agree with everything stated here. positive reinforcement is where it's at, and the very few times i've attempted antag i was lucky enough to be with extremely seasoned players that could help me along the way and gave me the constructive criticism i needed to be better. but otherwise? i'm kinda nervous to try antag stuff because i know i don't know enough to drive a story, and i'm worried that if i fuck up i'll get a player complaint when i'm just trying to learn. i'm not saying we be a hug server, but just, like, more willing to believe that not everyone that does something bad has malicious intent. i see some antags do amazingly and they'll get some praise and that's it. if an antag does a bad job, then the yelling in OOC and dsay will get almost out of hand. how does that cultivate a good experience for anyone? how does that make people more willing to try dumb, fun stuff? i just don't have the answers. i almost feel like a good idea would be a thread to talk about what went well in a round, what people enjoyed and what drove the story. i learn best by example, anyway. i'm also not saying that people aren't allowed to be frustrated. i just think we need to balance some of the anger with some positivity.

oooohhhh, you play VK? i love them! i have a lot of fun being a dumbass around them as natalie. the moment when it clicked for you that her and preston really are that dumb is still something that BRAINOS and i still laugh about plus your chair emotes are 10/10 every interaction ive had with VK has been a positive one and i wish i had a smarter character that would actually ask a bit more about their backstory because it is something i'm genuinely really curious about. though i do have a few theories, i guess i'll have to wait and see!

i gotta agree with nantei here. making these medicines less potent is sort of a death sentence for any dead-hour DNC players if there's an accident, since i've almost never seen a surgeon on during dead hour. and as stated, they're not exactly a catch-all anyway, so i think they're fine as-is. sorry, but -1 from me.

just as the title says: ive been playing natalie for.. i think a little over a month now, maybe closer to two? and i was just curious as to what everyone thinks of her so far! i am extremely new to aurora, SS13 and online RP in general, i’ve only been here as long as natalie has been here, so any feedback (positive or negative!) i can get with how i’m handling her would be greatly appreciated!! thank you!! ^o^
