  1. Greetings, Mister [Sign] Now, personally, I don't really understand why either, and if you ask me, it's just political maneuvering by NanoTrasen to avoid stepping on further toes after the unmitigated disaster that was our intervention in the Third Great Clown-Mime War (the one that ended in us burying the Throne of the Honkmother under several layers of radioactive waste following orbital bombardment). While the details were never made public, one can only guess mimes and clowns are allowed in for the sake of not provoking yet another war. Obviously, if you ask anyone from the company what the real reason is, they'll give you some spiel about clowns and mimes just being regular folks who chose a less orthodox career in entertainment, but we all know how true that is, don't we? ###cd comp_schedules### ###cd med_schedules### ###type jenkins_med_schedule.txt### ### ### ### Oh, goddamnit. ###cd comp_schedules### ###rmdir med_schedules###

  3. For sure, The DMI issue has been identified, so if that turns out fine, I think this is entirely good to go on the icon front. The metadata itself should be fine as long as you respect the property for it. As an example, the bees.dmi icons for bees has This is an ordered list starting at pixel (0,0) and moving across with each frame being 32x32 It is 100% safe to copy this metadata out, do whatever you want to the dmi as a png file, including rewriting all the metadata. Then just re-insert this property. Audio is difficult as you described. But I would say, yeah, lets do this. #Edit# OK, so probably should add, the property I am talking about is the compressed text metadata (zTXt). You can copy that directly and it will all just work, assuming the pixels 32x32 (or whatever) were not moved in some way.

  5. Private detective clown out to solve crimes for a fee: This guy was so ashamed his fibers were on the glass he walked back into the cell and repaired it. The actual detective was fairly amused. Went out to get a proper hat, and found a syndie crate with apron fibers, tho sec never aprehended the botanist. Followed some cold case trails to an abandoned ambulance, then had to use my mighty cap gun to escape from a suspicious snowman that chased me away from the scene. After writing a report for the detective, I repo'd next the botanist's janicart from chapel maint, and sold him the fingerprints for 250 credits. Some called for help for a Ripley thievery. The guy had used it to drill Ian to death. Got his confession on tape and Miranda paid me 2500 for handing it to Security and helping to get him out of the Ripley. Tho I have to say, cap guns aren't very effective against mechas. QM blew up! Not much on the scene, but then my keen souless eyes noticed a shipping manifest on the desk. QM had bought security gear for his office. And, as it turned out, they had actually been buying null crates and selling illegal gear all shift without being busted until then! After all that work I finished the shift as any proper private detective -- gambling and drinking.

  6. Ever since I tried paying for a drink during my first time on the station, I always found it weird that everything (except the vending machines) was absolutely free. Anyone would think that a company like NanoTrasen wouldn't just give away drinks, gourmet meals, cybernetics, surgeries, library services, entertainment, haircuts and any professional equipment you took with yourself when leaving the station. The possibilities to explain this that I can think of are: NanoTrasen deducts all expenses from your wage. The problem here is that most characters probably don't have a big enough wage to pay for everything and NanoTrasen is also a loan-shark business which will break your knees (probably why IPCs spare no expense at the bar) if you don't pay back or the wage is huge and that the people who work at NT are the highest of society. NanoTrasen is similar to a very large mafia where everyone is family. supplemental quote: "Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this free buffet as a gift on your employment to NT." Employees of NT have the best trade union. Like the best ever. Seriously. NanoTrasen is actually a very amiable and compassionate company who truly care about their employees (feels bad for listing as "hate" or "dislike", huh) NanoTrasen's accountants have accidentally added a couple extra 0's to the amount used for employee luxuries NanoTrasen does charge everything, but no one ever reports any purchases of items on the station and thus no one is charged. I think we need to settle this matter once and for all. Comment what you think.
