[Coming back, whats new?]

Hey friends,

I used to play security exclusively when I was playing on Paradise about a year ago, and recently got the urge to hop back into ss13 again.  What's new in security these days, any crazy changes in the past year, any new regular troublemakers I should be watching out for, that sort of thing.

Looking forward to playing with you all again :)

[Contraband Contraversy]

Quote

In addition, being caught committing a Major Crime or higher with any of these items makes you an Enemy of the Corporation as well.

It says about the Major Crime right there.

The problem is that on the contraband wiki it says any crime, this is the point of contention.

[Contraband Contraversy]

I believe it's:

1 Contraband -> Breach of Possession of Contraband

2 UNIQUE Contraband (Duplicates don't count) -> EoC

1 Restricted Syndi Weapon/Gadget -> EoC

Using 1 contraband to commit a major crime -> EoC

I think the mistake is in the contraband wiki, so you can't just say someone is an EoC for emag-ing a hallway door if all they have is an emag, but you can if they emag into somewhere like the bridge.

That's the way I've always interpreted it, I'm sure Tully will tell me if I am wrong.

[Walk when you are pulling someone]

@VivalasI don't think it would make it that much easier, it doesn't happen too much at the minute anyway and the people that do it aren't suddenly going to do it more.

I like the idea of this change, but I think walking speed might be a bit too slow.   Although... the possibility of a cop cart to transport prisoners seems pretty cool to me too.

[The problem with most security officers and the crew.]

I think Neca put it best for me.  There's a lot of generalisation that goes on, on both sides.

One thing I would ask, to turn this around.  Security has a very high turnover rate.  This could be seen as one of the causes for the problems being suggested.  In your opinion, what is the reason behind the high turnover rate?

[What was your last karma unlock? What's next?]

 

First was Brig Physician if i recall, my gateway into playing security.

 

The latest one was Plasmaman! And i'm really enjoying playing as one.

 

Next.. I think i'll wait and save up. I have all the jobs and I don't want any other races.

 

[Community Mini-Meeting: Security Edition! [DONE!]]

Looking forward to it!

[LSOP: Extend or alter the ten minute rule.]

 

In terms of placement, the current setup with the new brig is working well I think. Interrogation actually gets used and the bigger processing room is used more as a holding cell for quick searches and clarifications/questions, since any items can easily be but in the nearby new evidence room.

 

In regards to the pileup, I think that's due mainly to the fact the for the more important cases, you often will have an officer or two, the Warden, and the HoS all in the big processing room with the perp. They don't all need to be there, but of course people are curious and want to see what happens. Then you get officers bringing in people for more minor crimes, and seeking clarification or at least acknowledgement from the Warden or HoS as to the charges and whatnot, which is where you see the pileup.

 

As usual, this can be helped by good record keeping. It really does streamline the whole thing if people dont have to keep asking about charges and crimes. Not even just the crimes, but the sentence, anything important to do with that case.

 

As an addendum: I've been thinking about working on some changes to the sec records system, or at least adding some more functionality to the sec PDA's in terms of records. For example a list of current warrants, that kind of thing.

 

[Baguette or 'Frenchstick?']

That's how they sell them pretty much everywhere, yeah.

[Baguette or 'Frenchstick?']

Baguette in the south where I am. Although I did here it get called a frenchstick much more around Lancashire.

[Favourite Job and Why]

 

Security Officer or Pod Pilot.

I really like working in a big team like in security where communication plays a huge factor!

 

[The Job Marathon: Traitor Preview]

I look forward to seeing the rest of this.... Hehehehe.

[New species. Shkrel (plural: Shkreli)]

I believe it refers to Martin Shkreli.

[Yo Guys]

And that one time you got put into the body of Harry Houdini. That was fun times.

[Move coroner to karma job]

Why would it need to be karma-locked?

[Guide to Surgery]

 

Drain Bamage?

 

Two seperate surgeries for that

Skull and Brain

Target the head

Scalpel -> Hemostat -> Retractor -> Saw -> Retractor -> Trauma Kit -> Retractor -> Bone Gel -> Bone Gel -> Bone Setter -> Bone Gel -> Cautery

That will fix the skull and repair both the brain and eyes.

Remember to make sure the head brute damage is not over 18 (i think) or the skull will rebreak!

 

Next is

Facial Reconstruction

To be used if they are showing up as Uknown(as BLARGH BLARGH)

Target the mouth

Scalpel -> Hemostat -> Retractor -> Cautery

 

[Give the above character a "Nickname"]

 

Slade "The Diplomat" Williams

I think that fits.

 

I play Tate Power, by the way.

 

[For want of a better title]

There is nothing wrong with that, but one data point does not disprove a hypothesis.

[Can we officially become Low-RP, yet?]

 

Oh neca, I was the brig physician chatting with you. I had no idea you WEREN'T an actual operative. I had just joined.

Nice chatting though.

 

[Can we officially become Low-RP, yet?]

I would be happy to commit to play on a second server to help populate it.

[For want of a better title]

Some guilty consciences here.

[Muh Immursion]

 

I agree with a lot that has been said here already, and in my mind there are a few things responsible for this.

 

The first thing is the sheer popularity of the server these days. This is a good thing, but as we know, it brings a lot of griefers/greytide. Jack, I understand your feelings about playing sec recently completely. Recently there has been a huge amount of players that I HATE dealing with in the brig. They will resist, attempt to escape, scream, kill themselves, anything but sit there and wait or talk with me. Most of them will then continue doing whatever caused them to be brigged in the first place upon release. I wouldn't mind this so much if security was kept more in the loop about the actual focus of the round. As Jack mentioned, more often than not the Captain and the rest will be the ones that drag the antags in and proceed to deal with them.

 

Which brings me to my second point. The close-knit, isolated, heads of staff groups. I've noticed recently that there are a lot of 'famous characters' that will join a round as civilians or assistants and be given some trusted higher 'position' . This leads to a group of heads (and entourage) that barely communicate with anyone else and deal with things themselves.

 

I think we need more restrictions on the crew. Regarding the above, and also regarding the default position and attitude towards antags.

 

[General Changelog Discussion]

 

The OS changes are a godsend, no longer will I have to sell my soul to Microsoft.

 

And now I can finally RP my Kidan character like I have always wanted to.
