To put it upfront, life's been busy as hell lately in finding a place to live, going from one end of the state I'm in to the other and at the time of writing, potentially looking in a different state entirely due to the job opportunities available there. I'm finishing off the last year of a Bachelor's degree online and moving on to a Master's program not long after, but as a result of that I'm not able and wasn't able to do as much shit for para from near the beginning of this year till now and a little beyond that to the point I'm not sure if most of you goblins remember me being around! There's been a lot of big shit going on when it comes to staff politics and as much as it sucks to say it, there aren't enough hours in the day to knock that thing out. I'm hoping that others continue the surveys Shadey started (especially as it's nearing that time again!) and keeping up at least the occasional community meeting to let everybody know not only what's been going on on the back-end, but to take in new ideas and feedback from the people actually playing the thing. Para's been a pretty big part of my life for the last 7+ years going from 13 to 20, I could say it's practically raised me in some regard from how much time I spent on it, especially between 2013 and 2018, but at this point I'll likely have to take the longest break I've ever had from it just to make sure things are stable in life. If any of you goblins have questions, feel free to toss em in this thread, otherwise, just try not to burn the place down while I'm out, eh?

Hostile architecture PR. Like those awful anti-homeless spikes but for bridge hobos.

:( Grug leave? Small grug sad and wish big grug safe passage to good feeding land. Small grug not much work with big grug but still respect big grug for work done. Small grug sad for loss.

OH MY GOD YOU"RE NOT A TEENAGER ANYMORE HOLY FUCK WTF AHHH

This was me at shift-end after obtaining the ablative armour vest by faking a hostage situation in which I was the alleged hostage. The moral of the story? Holding yourself hostage is hilariously good if you PDA the right person to negotiate

Looks like your average shuttle ride off the station.

Had fun with newscasters, so underused yet so much fun. Total views 808 on Vox news, Hammond reporting. This pleases me. Maybe the two cases are related...

There's currently a PR up to remove the current economy system

Wolf annoys her but hasn't made her angry.

No good reason for this one. Rivera, Angel, and Idunn respectively

Old but not posted in here yet so...sorry everybody. @ZN23X Thread needs more Tetris Vegan pics.

I feel like a majority of the people here are missing the root cause of bridge hoboism, it's not mapping or players just being shits, it's the jobs being boring. I mean, hell, if you can get more job engagement on fucking /tg/ where all they want to do all round is kill the bad men you know you've done something wrong. Our jobs are archaic to say the least, I don't think they've even been touched since release despite a few minor changes here and there, but I don't think any of the major systems have been touched in any substantial way (to may knowledge) other than maybe shaft miner and engineer. Obviously, Bridge Hoboism is low-roleplay and annoying, but I feel as though if we want to solve the bridge hobo problem it's not through rigid enforcement or reprimand, it's giving the bridge hobos something interesting to do.

Personally I'd immediately attempt to get drunk at the bar, and fail as the bartender smashes me into smithereens.

Alright, it seems the staff have taken a pretty solid stance on the issue of bridge hoboing and though it doesn't align with my own view I can understand the logic and reasoning behind it. Thanks for the clarification, and I'll take note of it moving forward! Hopefully this so-far unspoken rule can be met with improvements to the dorms and other public areas like mentioned above, but that's likely for another thread. Personally I believe the server culture of bridge hoboing could be changed for the better or at least relocated with some well thought out mapping, taking into account why people choose to idle there and filling that desire in a way that better suits the intended RP. If there is ever an effort to do this I'd love to be a part of the solution!

Don't suppose you could make the Bridge Windows a special type that allow vision but block sounds (I.E. talking)? Would still afford Bridge their view of the Central Corridor, but would decrease the incentive for people to sit in front of bridge and eavesdrop for hours - plus, it just makes sense for the Command area with important discussions to be soundproofed. In my general opinion, looking in on the bridge can be fine to a certain degree, but when people pull out the sofa and and lay down, or bridge hobo while they have an actual job (looking at you, Sec), it gets a bit far. When they're playing music and smacking on the windows while we're trying to do something, it's just stupid. If you want to actually observe Command antics, observe.
