Two of them, neither of which I think are very controversial. One, the removal of hyperzine from the ERT. It is simply too powerful for the team of validhunters to be able to ignore the RIG slowdown considering all the equipment they get. Two, disabling ERT on Rev. It prevents revolutionaries from ever having something approaching victory when loyalists still have their 'win the round' button.

I believe it happened before subversion, though I'm not 100% on that.

Detective Mike Barnes told them to knock it off and go to the holodeck (this fight ended up near the IA office) https://i.imgur.com/kSDo91R.png \ https://i.imgur.com/DZH43Cb.png This was then completely ignored. Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? No, it's a long term issue, and Cake is not an admin.

Rev is an old mode, for a different setting. A setting where we didn't go home in two hours, a setting where there wasn't civilization literally right next to us. Where any potential rev would have no true point to it. I propose we replace it with something similar, yet different. https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Gang_War Enter Gang Warfare. Two groups of thugs aim to overtake the Aurora by using every inch of tile as turf to expand their influence. Their bosses are capable of purchasing various equipment using that influence in order to help them expand. To do this, they convert station crew to aid their cause. (Preferably, ERT would be turned off for this mode.) This mode could use a few tweaks to more suit HRP, but I think it would make more sense and be more involved. Atleast, it's worth a try.

This sprite is fuckin sweet, but why not clothes? Like all the carp based stuff we had.

Yeah, I'll definitely take your post into mind when I do play my Unathi shaman.

my b, OP edited. I was talking about the obsidian memes because I was attempting to imply that the HoS would've probably known about this by now, being an Unathi. I honestly wasn't sure about if only shamans and such know about exorcisms and such, or if it was everyone.

How did you make it seem like you actually knew it would work? It seems like you join and almost as soon as you knew and saw, removed the runes. I did some prayer shit with the athame I made up on the spot over the bar runes, after Lilium told me that she couldn't actually step over them. I neglected to actually do this for the rest of the runes, but I tried to make a production out of the first one I saw. I did things very quickly with the swords, because I was unsure what happens to you when you hold them for too long.

That's.. That's really all they said iirc.

Being spiritual does not mean you accept all religions as valid. There is no current lore about unathi religion that involves waving obsidian knives over people, and even if there was, I'm not obligated to act like a human religious practice is a valid method of exorcism. Did you chaplain even know anything about Sk'akh or Th'akh faith? Do you? Yes, I am whitelisted actually. And yes, they do. Unathi know well that obsidian dampens evil, ask Jackboot.

I mean, it's literally my job and skillset to handle. I'm sure I'd know more about 'hokey' than a HoS, even if he is a Unathi, a highly spiritual race. Also that's nice, but what about the first time? Before I ever accidentally hit the guy? You still threw me out, later getting mad at the Captain herself for letting me come back.

BYOND Key: ParadoxSpace Game ID: bTc-dsWv Player Byond Key: No clue tbh Staff involved: Flimango Reason for complaint: It was a cult round. I spawned in as a Chaplain (my human Chaplain, Kei Luchtar), to a lot of screaming and worry. Lilium Argentium tells me that there's weird shit going on in the bar. I come down, grab my gear, and go to the bar. There's blood runes. Obvious bad shit, but nothing that's outside of my abilities as a Chaplain to handle. I clear out the runes, one of the crew tells me there's weird swords too. I later demonstrate to some Security (Powell) my ability to purify swords. With this, I should be able to purify the people wielding them. There was an officer sitting in processing (without a timer, might I add.) Ardent Rygos. I decide to try on them. Holy water does nothing, so I use my null athame (Clearly, something recognized by Central and the ISD.) Tazhir comes in, swinging his authority, and tells me to leave him alone and stop 'assaulting him with a knife' before I'm arrested. Needless to say, I'm arrested after Ardent resists deconversion. After sitting there with no charges or timer for some time, he lets me out. I inform the Captain, Phoebe Mitchell (played by @DasFox) that he's acting outside of the crew's best interests (the exorcism of DEMONS) and she says 'sure, we'll try it.' I do this again to Ardent, and the null rod slips out of my hand and hits him (RNG, not me.) Both of them freak out, accusing me of assaulting people, Tazhir grapples me and throws me out. Clearly, this Head of Security was not interested in the slightest in nonlethal options. He ended the round with /two guns/ on his person, saying https://i.imgur.com/GUB9lPZ.png. Clearly, he wasn't interested in giving me a chance to actually do my duties as a Chaplain. This was endlessly infuriating. Did you attempt to adminhelp the issue at the time? If so, what was the known action taken by administration/moderation? Yes, I was told 'IC issue.' Approximate Date/Time: 3/3/2018, around 6:00 MST.

I agree fully that we have shit for restrictions. Dionae should get avowals, IPC's/Taj/Unathi shouldn't be most heads, etc. Especially IPC's and taj. I'm okay with them being like. CMO's or RD's, but them being HoS' and HoP's is extremely questionable. Also, I fully agree with shells being able to feel pain. That'd be interesting. Edit: We could bring back loyalty pledges for Unathi?

We must prevent cutemoles.

I'd be more interested if they weren't literal anthro moles. Otherwise, A+

I would enjoy mobs to fight, dungeons to crawl. Mining is too safe, too repetitive.

I agree with Bygone. The name also clashes with the fact that it's a shell, but.

I've known Ziy to not be a horrible roleplayer, and I like interacting with their characters thus far. +1

It'd be nice if you could invest a spell point to get two later.

this should be totally tied in with making it not an instant ERT swipe, but 'central could you send some help m8s'

I'd rather 1 decent sec officer than four gorillas with pistols. +1, it's worth a try.

That is the current text of Directive 4. I personally believe that Directive 4 is too restrictive, it takes away agency of scientists to distribute prototypes without handholding. In a way, this hampers other departments from having their best equipment. My proposed replacement involves Scientists being able to distribute prototypes, but having to keep track of what prototypes went where. I thought a discussion thread would be nice.

How will you handle lore appearing ingame?

It never really made sense to me, the meson interaction with tajaran eyes. Seemed more like a bug.

That's a very deceptive reacharound and you should be ashamed of yourself.
