  1. Hey, another idea totally not sprung up from another game.

    We should add perception to the game, making it so that we aren't able to see everything around us at all times. Certain species can have different fields of view and it would add a bit more depth to the game if we did such.

    It could cut down on people instantly IDing people who are tailing them, give people a reason to look before they leap in a sense, make combat more engaging and allow for more uniqueness to species.

    Unoriginal? Maybe. A good idea? I think so.

    From seeing what Kluys posted it's obvious I was mistaken in thinking that I had cleared the use of the word poof with an admin before hand.

     

    I'd like this to be move to resolved if possible as the very core of this argument is false.

     

    I'd also like to apologize for this waste of time on the administration's part and to Saywat for having to deal with this.

     

  3.  

    Again, when asking administrators in the past regarding this phrase, they have said it wasn't an issue. How was I to know this was a violation of rule 4 when I was given the go ahead by other staff members? I still stand by the idea that this could have been handled without the need to make a formal warning.

     

    I admit I did not know the actual definition of the word until this incident, thinking it referred to the type of flamboyancy that you would see in Pre-French revolution nobility.

    Admin Key: Saywat_the_15th

     

    Your Discord name (if applicable): Nickcrazy

     

    Complaint: Saywat has taken administrative action for an In Character issue of name calling, going so far as to add a note to my records for a phrase that I have cleared with other administrators in past admin PMs.

     

    The insult thrown at another crewmember by the name of John Marc by my character at the time was. "Limp dick Cocksucking poof." A phrase that I have used repeatedly on this server during my hostile interactions with other crewmembers.

     

    The words in this phrase have never once gotten me in trouble with administrators as they do not fall under rule 4 regarding homophobic slurs and yet Saywat has gone as far as to claim that now saying anything regarding ones sexual orientation is now a slur, including the words "gay" and "homosexual". The idea that these words in anyway seek to do harm to someone who falls under the category of homosexuality is just absurd and I somewhat find it a bit insulting that the administrator has taken the assumption of all words with past homosexual connotations are to be considered slurs and a violation of Rule 4 of the server rules.

     

    I can completely sympathize with the administrators wishing to keep this an inviting environment for all people to play on but this sort of word policing only serves to hinder and over-regulate role playing habits. I feel this over involvement into In Character issues and the subsequent warning handed down to me should not have occurred.

    Define appropriate forums.

     

    I say this simply because there's a lot of people who might be deterred from voting because they don't want yet another account, on yet another website simply to discuss things that directly affect the server.

     

    The appropriate forums being the subcategories on the forum, such as Code Discussions, wiki-development, and so on.

     

    Of course people are also able to give their opinions on the github while the code is in development if they so wish. I don't see how though that the majority of our player base would not have an account on the forums as it is used for appeals, applications, and general discussions.

     

  6.  

    I think I can speak for a good majority of people who don't want to see another salt festival on the OOC channel when I say that we need to crack down on what sort of votes should be done on the server during a round.

     

    First off, this is simply a suggestion to add a rule for staff members to adhere to for the sake of stopping a round from grinding to a halt due to a simple vote that was started.

     

    The rule suggestion is as follows.

     

    Anything that does not effect the current round or that involves maintaining the server such as code discussions, server rules, and administrative duties should NOT be put up as a vote on the server and should be taken to the appropriate forums for discussion.

     

    I am more than happy to hear any and all suggestions by staff and players regarding this new rule suggestion. I believe this is best for the server and quality of the round.

     

  7.  

    I think I share the same opinions of a good number of players on the server when I say I think we need a more consistent schedule with patches.

     

    I understand how some people are not on at all times, but it feels like there could be a better attempt at going for a weekly patch than what we are seeing now. I remember one admin telling me how it is supposed to be once a week, but recently it's gotten stretched. Our latest patch was about two weeks apart from the last one and it looks like it's going to be another week before we might seen another.

     

    Maybe a select day that maintainers and headmins strive to get a patch in, and if not let people know of x reason why it would be delayed, just something to get rid of the guesswork with the server upkeep and updating. This is in no way meant to offend anyone, and I'm sure our staff work hard to keep up a high level of quality and civility to this server at the best of their ability.

     

    I love this server and everyone on it. [spoiler2]Even when I act like a total dildo to some for no reason.[/spoiler2]

    Mental Illusion

    This one would be a bit more difficult. You create an illusory object with your mind, kind of like how hallucinations work. People with the mental block gene and synthetics would be unable to see the illusion, and only you can interact with it. This would have both fun and practical applications, such as giving yourself an illusory uniform if you've lost one, making a fake weapon to trip up security, or even making a fake wall. I don't know, but I am pretty sure these examples are much easier to accomplish, code-wise, now that Tiger's alternate appearance system was implemented.

     

    Illusions require you to stay in eyesight of them to maintain, and your speed is reduced to walking for the duration of it. Only one illusion can be in place at a time.

     

    Thoughts?

     

    If you can get it to work, and also make it balanced so that all the maintainers are happy, Go for it. I have no objections to this idea.

     

  9.  

    Since pods have received a re-balance, can we remove the lockboxes from the pod fabricator? Robotics doesn't have lockboxes for their shit so why should the mechanic?

     

    EDIT: And also a flying saucer sprite that can be added a different type of armor.

     

  10.  

    With their telepathy being absolute ass, meaning it's absolutely useless now, the race is barely worth the 30 karma it costs.

     

    If anything should be done to fix them, perhaps giving them a different ability apposed to telepathy that would make them a unique race.

     

    Now I know you people said it wasn't possible with our code back then but I think now enough has changed with the character icon code to allow this feature to be added. Excuse me while I shamelessly copy/paste my suggestion from long ago in a threat dead and buried.

     

    Okay, I JUST got this idea, looking back at this good ol' game called "Destroy All Humans".

     

    What if, the Greys have this ability to create an illusion to others based on their appearance?

     

    They would be given a modified CMA menu with the spell that would have a heavy cooldown and would require the Grey's to stand still for a solid minute so they can focus their mental ability to form this illusion. They would be able to alter their racial appearance(WITH LIMITS TO WHAT SORT OF RACES THEY CAN PICK, NO SKELETONS OR SHADOWLINGS) as well as customize their appearance just as a CMA would allow you to. What would separate this ability to the normal admin triggered CMA would be they could not change their DNA, fingerprints, name, or stats with this ability, only giving them the appearance of a different being.

     

    Now, before you say too op, this ability requires them to use tremendous concentration, making them weaker and slower with this ability active. This ability can also only work so long as their form is not touched. Meaning any physical damage while using this ability would double the damage taken to them and also bring them out of the power, returning them to their actual appearance.

     

    So to state clearly, this ability would be AESTHETIC ONLY with a heavy debuff at the cost of having it active.

     

    I would really love some feedback on this idea.

     

  11.  

    This is the most simplistic suggestion I've ever made.

     

    Let's sprite and put in some Hawaiian shirts for the clothes vendor.

     

    It could just be one style or multiple variations of it like the poncho but overall I think it would be fun to have them in as a way to celebrate the changing season.

     

    I'd say it should work as an accessory or exosuit piece of clothing. So you could wear it with shorts or just long pants.

     

  12.  

    So apparently Goon has some form of chess in their code, able to play checkers as well.

     

    Now I'm not sure how open Goon is with their code but would anyone be able to get that feature?

     

  13.  

    You know we need? CHESS!

     

    Some way or another, we need a playable chess game two people can play on the station, either located in the library or in the dorms.

     

  14.  

    Should there be something added regarding what to do with a captain or a head who's gone ssd with high value equipment on them? Maybe something instructing command what to do with high value items if they are going to cryo?

     

    You have no idea how many captains I've seen go to cryo with the disk still on them and a random civilian reporting they found the disk in maint.
