I'd love the cuffs. Also cant emergency tanks already be filled to the same capacity as large tanks?

As HOS I try to sit in my office or on the bridge listening to comms and giving orders. I will only go into the field in the case of some sort immediate emergency that requires additional manpower (officers under attack somewhere and my intervention could be the difference between them surviving or at very least being recovered or not) or to help officers get into a specific location with my additional access (engineering, science, whatever).
The worst type of HOS is the one who just takes the role and uses thier gear and access to be officer+. Your access, your gear, and your ability to keep security coordinated is too valuable of a resource to risk losing by patrolling. As awful as it sounds, thats what officers are for. They should be the ones patrolling and being put at risk because they are simply less valuable.
Its also fun to jack up chucklefuck officers and show em whos the boss.

Playing as a character that cannot speak english easily is all right on this server.
Echoing this, I have an Unathi who intentionally speaks common poorly but speaks his native language fluently.

You can set-up multi verb macros by writing new verbs in the macro starting with /nverbhere. IE: `say "Bob Ross did nothing wrong!/nrest/n say "And I will lay here in protest til he is released!"`
This can be used to pick-up items, eat food, basically anything. If you can do the action by typing it in the textbox, you can macro it. This goes for movement and facing directions as well actually. So if you have DVORAK or AZERTY you can re-map your keyboard. It'd just take ages and lots of verb look up. You can also use this to be a cheeky cunt and cycle through all security gear pickups. But that's pretty borderline power-game. So watch yourself out there.
Borderline?
Can be like one of us lesser humans who just scrolls over stuff with the mouse n clicks...gross.

Is this overly dramatic?
Its just Jonah representing nearly every member of security at the 2 hour mark of nearly every round. At least the ones who are still alive. Barely alive.

@EvadableMoxie I haven't played Megaman in so long that it took me WAY too long to remember the name. I legit sat there looking at the picture for a good 2-3 minutes while digging through the caverns of my mind. I am ashamed.

i'm new to ss13 and still trying to get back into paradise, but i've always thought about making something like a bio for S'lit Uriss. but this is just insane, i could never do something like
Didn't plan it at least. My original character on Para was Zeke. He was a greytide mute cuz it was more fun for him to be mute. I eventually made an Unathi who played sec. Fell in love with sec. Made Tetra after I unlocked pod pilot. And it became a story...thas about it. Give it a shot
I guess my point is...stuff just happened naturally n I made it cannon. Just run with what works.

Thats the funniest stack of lag I've ever seen.

So where does this suddenly 180 to fight tooth and nail to protect powergamey mechanics that are bad come from?
This isn't me fighting tooth and nail to protect something. You seem to think I actually care if xray is in the game or not. I don't. I hate that I need to keep referring to my original post, but I just said people need to get better at dying and losing. And since then I've had to elaborate as to why I think that. I don't care if xray is removed or nerfed. I also dont think its going to solve the problems this server has with people playing to win too much. You cannot remove enough features to correct this behavior. If you did then this game would be a shell of what it currently is. Its also annoying seeing players who regularly use cheesy tactics that aren't fun for others or ruin others rounds unfairly crying about how this does that to them. Its selfish and hypocritical.
I'll leave it at that. Wasted enough time explaining myself already. Proceed.

"If you die just suck it up, and play another round" is also well...harder to swallow when it comes to antag rounds. Because your next antag round might be ten rounds from now, a week from now, who knows when. Get killed as sec? Sure whatever you'll get 3 more shifts as sec that day if you want. Getting antag is both somewhat rare and RNG, so getting a round 'ruined' by cheesy methods feels worse for the player.
I rarely succeed as antag and I bet I roll antag a hell of alot less than most people (I'm usually a cling/vamp/traitor once every few month). Granted I dont CARE if I succeed so I actually play antag in a way usually eventually gets me caught or killed. I do find it even more funny that people who probably get to play more rounds in a day than I play in a week or a month complaining about thier rounds being ruined. Like if I play 2 rounds this week and both get ruined it means all the time I spent on the game this week was wasted. Shit happens. Then you have someone who in 1 day, plays a dozen rounds, 1/3 of them go bad for them and they complain. Its humorous.
Also @EvadableMoxie do you honestly think most people give themself an advantage for RP purposes cuz IC its irrational to do otherwise or do you think they are just treating this like another video game they are trying to win?
As security I actually get more annoyed by antags doing the same boring stuff over and over again rather than my round ending. And I'm not stupid enough to beleive that Xray is the one thing that is holding antags back from doing something different from thier repetitive safe routines at nauseum.

So, let me pose a follow up question: Do you believe there should be more things that lead to people dying randomly, less things that lead to people dying randomly, or did we happen to somehow find the perfect balance of completely unfair and arbitrary deaths?
I'm just really interested in trying to understand your mindset because it seems really contradictory. I mean, I've seen you argue against security officers taping their boots or even traveling in pairs, but you want them to have X-ray?
I think player behavior leads to things being unfair more than anything, and you cannot correct that regardless of how many features you add or remove.
My mindset is not contradictory. People tape their boots and travel in pairs for the same reason people want xray removed. They are afraid of dying and losing. I never argued taped boots need to be removed, I just don't think they need to be used every single round. I also don't think xray needs to be used every single time its found. I've declined xray at times for the sake of helping the round (like if I know the antags are struggling, there is no need to give myself more of an advantage). Many people demonstrate that they care more about winning and surviving by giving themselves as many advantages as possible regardless of how the round is going. That's just behavior.

Are you arguing that's a good thing? I'm not sure what your point is here.
My original post I said was people need to get better at losing and dying. Everyone dies sometimes. Everyone loses sometimes. And its sometimes unfair. If you removed everything that led to people dying and losing unfairly the game wouldn't exist as is so...yea I guess its a good thing that it happens?

I wouldn't mind losing fairly, but what you just said "Cheesy" is exactly what Xray is. Its like playing against Counter-Strike:Source wall-hackers, its not fun at all.
We all die and have our rounds ended unfairly regularly. We all can give a list of habits, strategies, or equipment other players use that we don't find fun. Thats just how this game is.
-
Ya'll need to get better at losing and dying. I probably get xray in sec once every 15-20 rounds. I get killed by cheesy shit antags do every 4 or 5. Get over yourselves lol

A drawing of my beepboop T3A-V4
I don't know why but my fleeting initial reaction to this when I saw it eas "This is an IPC version of Tetra"
...probably due to both the name, how similar the name is the same style as MY actual IPC (KR4-3SHA), and the orange antenna.
Probably also a hint of narcissism on my part. Maybe more than a hint.
Or you just can't help but draw Tetra even when you arent drawing Tetra!!!

Useless Pro Tips

I've spent a hell of alot of time in sec, and cant speak for everyone on every shift, but the only time I do this or have seen sec do this is when someone is spamming comms with too much garbage. So maybe people are spamming comms when in prison far too often if you see this happening far too often.
In my experience it doesn't happen that often...but maybe I just so happen to not play the shifts where it happens often by coincidence.
