    Space Pirates should have cannons on their ship that fire 40mm grenades (or proper cannon balls if someone feels like coding something of a sorts in) at any pesky landlubbers that try to board it.

     

    Also, armed with single-shot flintlocks, blunderbusses and laser sabers. Because god bless ballistics.

    It's a video game where clowns viciously stab people in the eyes with a bananas whilst causing serious brute damage, and where if you lube the hallways the station's warden will break your legs for it (literally; presuming admins gave permission).

     

    You rarely see people who use games from fictional content or video games. You see even more rarely people, that actually roleplay as the character from the fictional content or video game. Yeah, like Fox McCloud said, things such as greytide are a much bigger problem than someone going around as "Dr. Rockzo, The Rock & Roll Clown" whilst screaming "I LOVE COCAAAAINE", because something similar probably happens only once in a dozen rounds, and even then you will not notice it because most of the time the server's population is above 90. That's a lot of people.

     

    If this really grinds your gears (I'm talking for myself here, this is only my opinion) as badly as I imagine, you should pull a stick out of your ass. I don't mean that in bad blood, I just want to say with that idiom that things are a lot more enjoyable most of the time when you turn down the knobs on "serious" a little bit. This is coming to you from a person who often is a super big hardass and loves heavy roleplay, but still plays on Paradise despite someone running around as "Bobby Hill" to stomach knee people with "sleeping carp" whilst yelling "I DON'T KNOW YOU".

    And Extended round ended a short time ago in which I gave some custom objectives to players in order to spice up the round a bit. I think the objectives I gave them were on the level of Miscreant objectives from servers who have the Miscreant antags.

     

    There were 4 different people with custom objectives, and their tasks were as follows:

    - Steal the Captain's bedsheets.

    - Steal a stamp from a Department Head and use it to forge an order.

    - Steal something innocuous from a Department Head's office and place it in a different Department Head's office.

    - Steal 4 pairs of shoes.

     

    The players seemed to have fun, even when two of 'em got caught breaking into the Captain's office via the maint tunnel between the office and the teleporter room.

     

    I'd like to see more simple objectives like this for players who want to greytide. At the very least it gives them a goal to direct their energy towards instead of just randomly fucking with people.

     

    Hi, I was tasked with stealing the Captain's bed sheets. I'm Hayahatatichayakataya. o/

     

    I did have a lot of fun with the gimmick objective. When I was brought into security, I managed to wiggle my way out of there by pretending that my voxygen had been disabled, heh.

    Or just remove the windows...

     

    Making perma impregnable isn't going to be fun for anyone.

     

    It wouldn't be fun either if you had to return to the brig to beat the Warden to a bloody pulp, just so you can get the ID off of them to get the jumpsuit off.

     

    It's fine as it is now, Wardens just need to learn to watch over their permabrig occupants. =)

    You know how you can hug people by clicking them with help-intent, right? And how you can pat their head the same way if you are targeting their head, right?

     

    Well, why shouldn't we be able to shake hands by clicking people with help-intent, if we are targeting their hands?

    I've noticed a bug, by the way. The surgery tells you that internal organs appear not to be damaged, despite that they are.

     

    This is when you start applying the advanced trauma kit to the targeted body part during organ manipulation surgery.

     

  7.  

    No need to apologise :) It's good to even have the thread so others can see the reasons why, and possibly bring up reasons to re-add it if they come up with them.

     

    We debated putting it back in but didn't because there's already a method to do it, and because it was mainly used in a griefy function.

     

    What else was not added in with the new surgery system? I'm curious to know, since I have little to no clue about how big the new surgery system really is.

    Two antennas met on a roof. They fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much... But the reception was incredible!

     

    A dwarf who was a mystic escaped from jail. A call went out that, "There is a small medium at large".

     

    What do you call a fish without eyes? Fsh.

     

    Two cannibals were eating a clown. The other one asked the other, "Does this taste funny to you?"

     

    Why didn't Jesus play ice hockey? Because baseball and soccer are much more popular sports in Mexico.

     

    A gorilla walks in to a bar and orders a banana martini. The bartender thinks this is a little peculiar and then becomes aware that he is actually dreaming. He wakes up from his dreaming and begins to tell his wife about the weird dream he had. His wife just ignores him. The man rolls over and begins to sob, because he realizes his marriage is in shambles.

     

    What is green and has wheels? Grass, I lied about the wheels!

     

    Owl and a squirrel are sitting in a tree, watching a farmer go by. The owl turns to the squirrel and says nothing, because owls can't speak. The owl then eats the squirrel because it is a bird of prey.

     

    Why can't dinosaurs talk? Because they're all dead.

    If I remember this was added in BECAUSE people were breaking in and printing off what ever thy wanted willy nilly, most notably roboticists and security

     

    Ooh, yeah. I confess that I used to do this myself.

     

    If you really wanted to get something from the Protolathe via the Research Console as a non-science team member, you have numerous other options that are (but not limited to):

     

    - Asking nicely

    - Asking rudely

    - Getting a spoken permission from someone holding authority

    - Getting a written permission from someone holding authority

    - Getting your own permission from a stamp of someone that holds authority

    - Bribing a RnD Scientist

    - Stealing the ID of an RnD Scientist

     

    (Note: Some of these methods might warrant a broken hand or time in the brig)

    Really really fun security round.

    The team knew what it was doing.

    We had three traitor PDAs unlocked in the armory as well.

     

    I was on that round as a Security Officer. We had eight officers escorting a single lawbreaker from the AI MiniSat, who had been caught by a drunk Security Pod Pilot.

     

    Glorious.

    Was that the round with 3+ vox sec that NEVER SEEMED TO STAY APART EVER?

     

    Yup, it was.

     

     

    Also, look what happened one round!

    It can't be seen on floors unlike water, it stuns you for a long period, it stays on the floor for a long period of time and it is super easy to make. One spray can easily ruin a crew member's life, because they have no way of getting back up fast apart from being shaken up (unlikely for a traitor to do that).

     

    Meet Space Lube.

     

     

    Imo, the stun time should stay the same, but Space Lube should appear on the floor (maybe as an even more obvious glimmer than water) and it should disappear faster. You could also reduce the stun time, but keep how long the substance stays on the floor the same. If those options don't sound appealing, you could also make the chemistry recipe more difficult to make.

     

     

    It's. Just. So. God. Damn. Powerful. For something so. Easy. To. Make
