I wouldn't mind getting a rundown of how it went, I thought it was going awfully well until it died.

Erm. they are talking about for specific things. Not just an overall boost in text size. That wouldn't help with what they were talking about so things of a higher severity would be more noticeable. Ah. Like a pop-ups windows? I wouldn't mind. No, like, certain actions in your chat log just having larger text than others. Like someone exploding into gibs having big red text compared to someone flipping on a zippo lighter, or feeling a lot of pain during waking surgery being bigger than someone giving someone else a hug.

Hello! I'm interested in this. Would I be able to bring back Talen-kai?

Welcome to our little slice of the SS13 community! I hope you enjoy the community and the roleplay as much as I do We have some really good folks here.

I like this idea. Really imporant actions in combat sort of get drowned out by lesser attack logs. The emphasis will really be an alarm bell for players to see and react to more strongly, and will give more clarity to what's happening during combat or just other emergencies causing serious bodily injury.

You get a hug for the hug box. When I was a kid, my mom had this boyfriend who would hold me down and pour hot sauce in my eyes.

So, on old code before the great code change of February 2016 , all news articles where the news articles you'd see in the galatic news database subforum here on the forums. This news article is not one of our news articles, and every single news article that gets posted throughout the round on the newscasters are Bay Station news articles. None of them are canon. They reference people who don't exist, ships that don't exist, and places that aren't in our lore. The Bay Station Server takes place in the Nyx system rather than Tau Ceti, and Nyx Daily is their news system, not ours. Ideally, our devs would bring back our actual news being posted on the newscasters instead of another server's news, since many of our news articles are well thought out and well writ.

So, funnily enough, last time this suggestion came around for sex change surgery, I wasn't very for it at all and was vocal about how I didn't want it on the basis that it'd be done outside of the workplace. But in the context of disguises or antagonists screwing others over, it's suddenly warmed up to me far more than it had been before. Vocal alteration surgery doesn't make much sense to me, but I love the idea of facial alteration surgery to give someone a new name of who they resemble, as well as a mechanic for making people mute.

I said it to JB in staffchat, and I'll say it again. I heavily support this idea. Majority of the time, Directive 4 gets broken because the directives aren't listed anywhere in game, and no one knows about them unless they've been around for awhile. People break the regulation because they're ignorant, not because they're malicious. Of course, there are some who are malicious, but majority of the time they just had no idea. I'd also recommend doing this to people slimifying themselves, but that's a different suggestion.

This is the ultimate addition to enhance M'sai superiority. I love it.

I'm actually sort of regretting putting my character's information into this, as well as peeking to see all 120 something peoples information. It's really demystified so much and answered so many rumors and gossips that surrounded me. But at the same time, it's kind of fun.

Hello! I just got out of the "Carogbois" round where Lukas had to investigate cargo because one of them allegedly grinded up Ian in the gibber. Throughout the entire affair, Lukas was mostly calm, and extremely regulations minded. Compared to nearly every other security officer, he was an angel, and at any point he could easily brigged all of cargo for suspicious conduct, or even obstructing security. I mean, many things really. While he failed to secure landing us in the brig, the methodical process by which he went through it demonstrated to me in overwhelming strength that he was a fantastic model for security roleplayers, and someone who would be a perfect fit for head of security. The fact that he was able to retain his composure through all of cargo being absolutely uppity to him shows that he's one of the few officers with a really level head and straight laced procedure. I would love to see him as Head of Security, even if it means being brigged for my regulations breakings in the future. He was above and beyond my expectations for roleplaying as a security officer. +1 P.S.: He filed three search warrants to try and find incriminating evidence. I mean, hot damn, good work man.

I believe the issue here is that if no cultural standards were enforced at all, then every alien race would just wind up being funny looking humans. The only reason anyone should want to play as any race is because they're interested in their culture, their history, their values and morals. These are supposed to be mostly unrelatable space aliens, and when they are played like any other human, it makes having whitelists at all completely questionable. Subversion of old country cultural values is fantastic if it's done right. It's a fantastic and horrifying setting to be a stranger in a strange land, and ideally we'd see people shoot off in all types of directions as they all learn to cope and adapt in different ways, but the problem I'm personally seeing in homogeneity. I'm only aware of some four characters in the very large pool of Tajaran characters who even care about the homeland. Everyone else tells me they don't care because they don't live there anymore, or tell me to shut up. They're all so... human. Of course, not everyone should be kommie kitties or monarchy cats. We wouldn't want homogeneity in the other direction either where everyone is from the same cut of fabric. And not everyone should be pro-PRA because why would there be a three way civil war if that's the case? This ultimately boils down to subtleties. There are a lot of characters subtle about their allegiances, and subtle about their subverted morals and values. And I love them because it doesn't matter what "degenerate" things they're doing behind closed doors (by PRA standards), they've pulled the wool over my characters eyes. Like when, I believe, Aji'rah Laikov(?) Started laying into Hadii with aggressive insults, and convinced my character who couldn't believe it that she was joking. She insulted him and the PRA all night and just added a footnote to each one that she was joking, but in reality she was providing subtle subversion which in the context of the situation was eroding loyalties to the PRA. Or, I have to give a resounding applause also to Rafee Isra. Ever since his brain washing, he's become the ultimate perfect example of what the PRA wants to shape it's subjects into being. He's become the machine man, the new Soviet man, to put it in terms of early Soviet manifestos. And it is delightfully horrifying and flawlessly roleplayed. And, I have to give a tip of my hat because It's also brilliantly subversive. Myo PRA character seeing that is terrified he'll get sent to the same camps if anyone ever finds out he's atheist, and it's making him severely question hid loyalty to something he spent his entire adult life being a part of. So, I may have written longer than I intended to, and gave more thoughts than were coherent, but I think it's important that we have species cultures as a context to the observations of one's environment, rather than a mold by which everyone is crafted. And the problem to the current state of species roleplay isn't where the characters ended up, it's the process by which they got there. We don't need to examine what a character has become which is out of line with cultural norms, but how they go there. (in an OOC context, mind you, IC institutions only care where you wound up) Culture is a lens which distorts and misshapes reality, and the only true way to have roleplayed a species wrong is to remove that lens. And I believe that if we had a better understanding of how certain characters became the way they were, we'd all understand each other a bit better. Don't be afraid to write character stories, it gives everyone around a fantastic inner view of whatever transformations have happened, and with inner viewing, sympathy and acceptance. Of course, "showed up on Tau Ceti one day and became hardcore homosexual instantly" wouldn't be so... understood, but it's what's being widely perceived, and that's what's painting a large negative stigma about our current pool of Tajaran characters. There's no reasonable IC way to tell everyone a life story, but I really wish character stories would get used more. This is mofo, *swag out.

Whoops. I meant HoP with security channel, yes. I've never touched HoS before, so I wouldn't know about their roundstart headset enablement configurations.

Is this happening when you spawn in as captain only? HoS has security channel disabled by default. It could just be a captain thing to have all channels naturally disabled.

No that's just. Just... What? Remove all antags... What.... What....... Why.... No.... No, never, dear god never. That would cause a lot of problems. Imagine a traitor fucking up security then "Lul, traitor removed :D" then what, he just like... No.. Or with cult... He was being facetious and critical of RNG and it's abilities to bring deep and engaging mechanics.

Was this added in or was it always a thing that was just so unlikely to happen that it just happened to happen this far into new code? Anyhow, I think it's a terrible design option because I vote and join extended rounds purely for canonical non-antag roleplay. When this happened last night, it generated a confusing mess, and was even further messy on the front of being a CCIAA and receiving a fax asking me to verify if Miranda Trasen herself visited the station. Extended is the only game mode without antags, and people vote for it specifically because they don't want antags. It kind of flies in the face of vote winners when the game mode that they voted for which won the vote has exactly what they didn't vote for it it. I mean, would it really be all that great if everyone voted wizard, and instead just no wizard showed up and instead the cult of Nar'sie starts popping up around station?

This sounds like an overall really neat idea. I can think of a few times when I had to PDA multiple people the same thing.

I actually seriously like this idea, even if it's a complete joke. ATLAS salutes would be cool.

I used this to post WGW in Skrellian earlier.
