Your avatar is Polen. Your profile says you are Florida. And your skype name is in russian or greek or martian or something.

It made me check the forum moderator logs to see if any admin edited this thread, just in case.

Ya pervy git, you put more detail in her cleavage than you did on the gun. And it can't be steampunk if it doesn't have giant brass cogs or gears or drills or steam machines or giant steam armors or big stompy things or zappy sparky tesla-like stuff. But she has pauldrons, I give you that. Teh Emprah approves of pauldrons. And of well done fan-art.

Avanto plays lifeweb now I think. Not sure though, I know he's still active on BYOND.

Why isn't it done yet? The answer is simple: Our current SoP is shiet, admins are currently writing a new one.

^^^^^^^^^^ Thisssssss All of this, Dumbdumn said pretty much everything I couldn't be arsed to put into words.

I know about the current titles, but, well, as long as the titles dont sound important... like "Chief surgeon" or stuff like that. Also Im not sure how hard would be to code this, up to Ponies really.

Or more, like 120, so if your skull breaks open its BECAUSE SOMETHING VERY VERY BAD HAS HAPPENED TO YOU. I'd like skullcrushing to be something rare, extreme, so people are actually worried when they see someone with the brain exposed.

If the numbers could be tweaked so two toolbox hits don't expose your brain (Read: make the skull something harder than chinese porcelain), then sure.

Yeah, I would love to stop validhunting too, but it's not that simple. Admins can't just wave a magic wand and *poof*, validhunting gone. Some antags are clear "Kill on Sight" by the needs of the gamemode, and while I understand how annoying it might be getting insta-executed for having an emag, we can't just revert rules out of a sudden. The entire admin team is brainstorming about what to do, because it's a clear problem and we never intended having this on the server. We already thought of some small things that could help to push the general mentallity of the playerbase away from the blatant and relentless validhunting. They will be implemented soon-ish as they are developed.

It might sound fine and dandy but.... the karma system was meant to be some kind of reward to good players without causing elitism (or not too much at least, eh..). I can already see this being abused to boost ego and seem important. It's not a bad idea in itself but.... it would bring bad stuff.

We are working on it, you will see the results soon-ish. The idea is to make a proper SoP and make it VERY visible around the station, accessible ICly in-game to anybody who might want to see it.

B'cuz WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

CE and RD: know how to deal with the damned AI. HoS: make sure the officers and warden update the bloody records. (It's not really necessary but it's a GREAT bonus.)

220 guardsmen stabbing a tank with bayonets.

Also I think someone mentioned nerfing antag stuns. Wall of text to the forehead as promissed. *WHUMP*

It keeps going back to tasers for a number of reasons. Most of the insta-stuns mentioned there have some obvious and critical downsides. Banana peels/soaps can be easily stolen, used against you or your own clumsiness might make it backfire on you. They are also not so easy to get and can be blocked with magboots or galoshes. Flashbangs can be partially countered with easily obtainable gear, and they can also easily backfire on the user, they can also be dodged with relative ease if you run out of range fast enough. They are also limited and you lose them after using them. (Although it is also true that with the old tasers, many officers used flashbangs as their weapon of choice to make arrests, even against single targets. But this wasnt so bad because if the target ran away fast enough, or just had his eyes protected with sunglasses/helmet the officer would achieve nothing.) Pushing is RNG based, and requires you to get into melee range, putting yourself at risk until the magical number is rolled. Tasers have none of that (though I heard they have a small chance to fail, not sure about that). All you have to do is click ONCE fast enough on the sprite of your target with a clear line of sight and recharge them from time to time. They are avaiable to all security personel and will never backfire unless stolen, which isn't easy because the officer will protect it with his life if needed.

SPEAKING OF AVATARS, YOURS BLOWS AND CHANGES EVERY-.... WAIT I GOT IT! YOUR AVATAR IS A TZEENTCHATE CHANGELING. BURN THE DAEMON.

Personally I was talking about tasers all the time, which seems to be the most controversial insta-stun for many reasons. The other insta-stuns are very limited and mostly antag-exclusive, and are widely accepted among the community.

There are more greytiders than there are admins, please familiarize yourself carefully with the rules here: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=44 and read this helpful guide about ahelping to report misbehaving players: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4464 When you see someone who seems to be "greytiding" and you have proof that they are breaking the server rules, please send an adminhelp using F1 and an admin should make short work of them (hopefully). Remember: Only YOU can stop greytiding assholes. Okay maybe not only you, but ahelps about them usually help a lot.

Pretty much, fuck super-conveniently-universal hybrid tasers. Tasers should be a situational tool, not a weapon of choice. Keep the hybric ones as a hi-tech RnD protolathe craft if you want. Git gud with bad weapons or gtfo, just like a proper guardsman does. Toss the girly pew-pewer away, grow a pair of steel, grip the power-baton with your blood-stained hand and charge onwards to death or victory, but regardless to glory. And if someone cries about "OMG MUH BALANS ANTAGS WILL BE OP" he will get a copy-pasted wall of text stamped onto the forehead. I will keep poking coders until this gets a PR, Gorkdamnit.
