  1. Even if I'm having a good morning, I'm resetting your count. May you all have lovely mornings, afternoons, and evenings spacemen.
  2. Safe travels Spaceman. It was a pleasure watching you grow from a potential shitter into a bright healthy and wonderful part of our community. If you ever feel like returning you'll always have a home.
  3. Game play we keep the areas for different OOC reasons however if we're talking about IC reasons then really nobody except Engineers should be traveling through maintenance until it can be brought up to a safe standard. Old Bar, Old Surgery, the Drug Lab in Sci Maintenance, the Old Diner, all these areas are dilapidated and wouldn't be suitable for crew to inhabit. To answer the why don't you give them ventilation? Breathable air is strangely enough a more finite resource than electricity. (IE Tesla Engine produces infinite power while consuming no resources.) The station CANNOT manufacture its own breathable air. It makes sense that it'd be substantially more expensive to ship air to the station to fill up areas that if used properly would only see Engineers in environmental suits with their own oxygen tanks.
  4. Mention of monsters has summoned me from my pit. I've reset this thread to 0 in anger of being woke before returning and sealing myself up.
  5. Imagination is going to have to do the heavy lifting I feel. Its possible and would be neat to code individual effects for each addiction however it would make the code messy and snowflakey which are two things that I think the Maintainers and Heads are trying to avoid with our already pretty messy code.
  6. Sorry to say but my first thought seeing this is "Wow, lets make it a whole lot easier for everyone to power game. Can't see how this would go wrong." But seriously, EVERY implant gives some mechanical advantage. With the rework of how hunger works I wouldn't even be for someone round starting with the nutripump implant which is arguably the most innocuous implant you can get.
  7. Apparently I'm S+. Fear me.

    Hello!

    Welcome to Paradise! First and foremost I'm obligated to direct you to here which is our server rules, basically what we allow and do not allow while you enjoy your experience. If any of them are unclear in any way feel free to reach out to any member of our Administration Team on our forums, on Discord, or within the game itself by pressing F1 and selecting adminhelp. Never feel bad about asking questions you think dumb, we much prefer it if you ask us to clarify something than us having to talk to you about an oopsie later. F1 can also let you submit a Mentor Help ticket. Mentors are here to provide you with any type of information regarding game mechanics. All of them are wonderful individuals who will do their best to clear up anything that may confuse you. Our wiki also contains a wonderful amount of information including a Guide for Beginners to help you get acquainted with the controls and the interface. I hope you have many wonderful experiences and stories to share from your time here and that your wife has only ever had good things to say about us. Safe Travels Spaceman.
  9. If you wish to discuss a staff ruling against you, either submit an admin complaint or speak with members of staff about it. Asking the general public for their opinions on whether you really were in the wrong in this situation is inappropriate. This thread will be locked to prevent further discussion.
  10. Personally I find the magic number for repetition is three. Any repeats beyond that just wears out its welcome and I get the feeling these guys wouldn't last long before taking tool boxes to the head. Whether it be here or on Baystation if the event were to somehow happen in either place.
  11. Not a bad idea however something that might be a detriment to it. During station emergencies where Medbay will inevitably get a massive backlog of patients wouldn't this just increase the time it would take for critical patients who are standing as well as heavily injured patients to be treated and cause an even worse backlog for Medical? The concept isn't bad if there were very few situations where disaster strikes and you get a large influx of patients, however there are more times than a few where you don't have much time to interact with your patient before pushing them out the door to go to the next one. Also, tying it to whether or not a player is lying down or standing up all treatments are going to have extended time since if the patient refuses to lay down (Doctors don't have stun batons after all to force them horizontal) its going to punish the doctor more by tying up their time with a non-cooperative patient which, actually happens more than I'd like to admit. I recall a Security Officer who couldn't even wait for us to close her incision from surgery before hopping up, dashing out of the OR and going back on patrol. They didn't come back until ten minutes later after they had lost quite a bit of blood.
  12. As someone who plays chef rather regularly I like this design. Though more for the added security that people aren't hacking into the friggen kitchen without first facing a bartender and his shotgun. I suppose the only real complaint I have is that it gets rid of the cozy little nook in back with the comfy chairs, bronze ash tray, and table for a more intimate out of the way gathering. Also a tip for building while on an active server, Admins use Build Mode under the event tab. The copy/paste function usually how I move the slot machines before reverting back to Basic Build and deleting the originals instead of outright possessing them.
  13. Your next project should be to build Trurl. Make sure there's a massive cannon pointed at Cyberiad for the authentic looming threat of Central Command BSAing the Captain. Also this is absolutely wonderful and brings back very fond memories not only of SS13 but Minecraft as well. Thank you.
  14. Warning issued for incorrect detainment. Check DOB.
  15. I can't remember which round it was but Graynt and 619 had me in tears. An excerpt from their conversation I found particularly funny.
  16. I could post something philosophical about death, its a very deep subject and I could spend years talking about it and immortality but, I think this encapsulates everything wonderfully. Life's too short to worry about these things. We're a bunch of tiny creatures crawling on a ball of heated rock being flung through space at roughly 30km a second or 67k miles an hour with quite literally millions of different ways that the entirety of the universe could end us before we could even blink with no doubt well over half of them being shit we'd never see coming. Every second we're alive is precious. Don't live it worrying about when you're going to die. Live it making yourself and those around you happy because that's what really matters at the end of the day. Were you happy today or weren't you and if not how can you change that.
  17. Sure why not. Lets see if the whole SIX individuals who post here manage to make any real progress.
  18. Because cryonics is a blind gamble and not everyone has insurance willing to pay for a blind gamble. Everyone will eventually die, even the universe will inevitably cease being what we know it is and the next one could have completely different laws than our current. Its just a fact of well existing. Even if I could prolong my life I wouldn't want to for these reasons. A) There's no guarantee I'm coming back. Technology does advance and they could bring me back to cure me of whatever it is I'm suffering from but its also just as likely for a meteor to strike the Earth and for everything to be wiped out. Or more plausibly since I'm putting my now suspended life in other people's hands, human error could end up screwing me over in an interesting and horrifying way. B) If I was able to come back and be cured/continue living everything I know will be different. My knowledge will be horrendously antiquated, all the people I know or care about will be dead and gone if they haven't undergone the process themselves. The diet and food consumption may be entirely different and be inedible to me (Remember hundreds of years ago people ate food with trace amounts of poo. Hygiene was very different back then.) And even if in the incredibly lucky off chance my country is still around when I come back I will have little to no money with which to establish myself with. Can't get even the most basic of jobs if I'm unable to understand even the most basic of things provided by decades if not centuries of technological advancement. C) No guarantee the things I do for recreation would persist. For all I know even the most basic of recreational activities will cease when I wake up and hell even humanity's approach to reproduction may take a more clinical turn instead of the classic insertions. That kinda puts a massive damper on the idea of visiting the future. So yeah, not exactly the most ideal thing. In fact I would rate it even worse than having innate immortality where my genetic code didn't degrade over time since at least with innate immortality I'd be able to learn as time progressed and wouldn't be quite literally a babe amongst adults, who bonus, have no obligation to teach your dumb ass a single thing.
  19. By my count with this response we'll be at -2. Just give the players more work to reach the highest number. :honk:
  20. I am a firm believer of hanging mimes upside down in a pit of spikes where there's a sign opposite of them reading "Learn the words."
  21. Welcome to Paradise Kylah, where work is a privilege. Your shift may be quiet and uneventful, or you may be the unlucky target of the Syndicate, a group comprised of companies that wish to see your bosses fail. But that's not all! Your very identity could be stolen by a creature that collects DNA, your soul devoured by vengeful ghosts, or even offered up to a blood thirsty god that lurks behind the veil of Bluespace. Vampires can steal your blood or creatures of Shadow could steal your very mind and make you a mindless thrall for their nefarious purposes. Lets not forget the Wizards either, who have a bone to pick with the Mega Corporation known as NanoTrasen. Last but not least the ever present eye of Central Command, who at times can benevolently save their assets or with the flick of a pen write you off as too costly to recover. Its all in a day's work on Cyberiad. As a new player make sure you familiarize yourself with our rules so you don't end up breaking any of them. There are many fun adventures in your future, its just all what you make of the cards dealt to you during your shift. Have fun and welcome!
  22. I saw many of these suggestions and definitely will implement some as well as some more tweaks of my own next time I bring the Congress event out. If the rounds were longer I would invest in a proper election for the representatives of each Department however as it stands its simply not feasible. I can promise that the next Congressional Room will have more space and have the option to be quite a bit less noisy than the previous one. As for people saying that its only fun for the participants. There's nothing stopping from them contacting the representative to have them try to push a bill through for them. Either through bribery or coercion. Really, just have to use a bit of imagination on what to do with this. Similarly Robert is a good example of someone not a Representative participating and really making use of the power that Congress was given, even if his motion didn't pass.
  23. As someone who watched the cruelty unfold, he was given that objective AFTER the cluwning.
