Jay's player here. My character was only "involved" in the sense that he was present and active in the same area/department that everything took place in. He didn't contact Security, he didn't contact the Captain, if my recollection is correct he didn't even talk much during the confrontations apart from offering clarification to a couple questions that were asked. Jay was only at the meeting with the Captain because he was told to attend it, and he spent most of said meeting watching Security dealing with greimorians outside. In the later part of the round, I was completely locked in and frying my brain trying to keep the Warden alive. I have no idea what happened between Adzi, Command, and the rest of Medical during/after that, my focus was all used up. Jay had no part in the ingame aftermath surrounding the Warden's treatment or the IR. So, all in all, I would say that Jay was a bystander for the most part. Please let me know if there's anything else I can clarify.

This topic has come up ingame and on the discord a few times now, so I figured I might as well make a thread for it! Right now, it looks like the timer after game mode voting is around 75-80 seconds. It doesn't allow much time for things like breaks, game crashes, Character Setup menus, or being able to respond to shoutouts in discord like "Hey, new round starting if you want in!" I don't know how long would be better for it, but I feel like the timer needs to be a little longer. Thoughts?

That's likely what I'll be doing if there is a timeskip. The prospect is just overwhelming and stress-inducing, because there's so much up unknown, and there's already leaks and rumors flying around. IMO, giant, sweeping changes aren't always necessary to freshen up a setting. Unfortunately, "fresh" is subjective, and everyone's got their own preferences as to what makes things fresh.

After a lot of thought, I'm realizing that I'm not too cozy with the idea of a timeskip. My roleplay style (in which I make a couple characters that I'm very attached to, and invest all my creative focus and energy in them for years at a time) doesn't jive so well with suddenly being launched in the future. There's just too much unknown, too much uncertainty, and no way of knowing just what will change. What happens to all the relationships our characters have made, and the development and progression? Personally, I feel like it'd be easier to do a large setting shift by doing some sort of calamitous event (Lii'dra invasion, Hivebots vs the Spur, and so forth) that doesn't require an entire reset on a character's existence, or floundering trying to figure out how they'll develop in the far future.

As the title says. Currently, the two Xeno-B roles are reliant on others piloting them out to a destination to get cool xenofauna or xenoflora. I think they should have the ability to take the Quark out and do their own expeditions as well. This is especially rough for Xenobiologists, as then they can only play around with slimes on-ship, and would need others to bring back xenofauna from them. If the Xeno-Bs could pilot, then they could also organize expeditions. I don't see a change from the Xenoarchaologist starting an expedition, and then inviting other people from Science along. It just gives Xeno-Bs the freedom to do their own thing on exoplanets, instead of having to wait for a Xenoarchaeologist or a generous shaft miner to bring them around. I realize that Xenoarchaologist has nothing to do on-ship, and *needs* to go to away sites to find things for their gameplay. However, Xenoarchaeologist can take the Intrepid - also I feel like if people are hogging the shuttles and refusing to pick up someone who needs to use the shuttle, that's something that should be handled IC and/or ahelped if it gets out of hand.

Hi and welcome! I sadly don't know much about troubleshooting SS13, but have you tried joining other Space Station 13 servers, and if so, do you get TGUI errors on there as well?

I haven't had a great deal of in-depth interactions with Maxspells, but the few that I've had were thoroughly enjoyable. They're a good roleplayer and communicate well OOC. I think they'd do great playing Command! (no pressure Max >:D) +1

I don't know if it's already ingame and I've just never noticed it, but if this is implemented (which I hope it is!) I'd like the "Intruder" roles to have the choice of getting an uplink like Traitors do.
