To put it simply, rejecting a person solely on the basis they did not late join and were on the manifest to start with is both meta and power gamey. We do have a powergaming rule now. It is WITHIN RIGHT for a hos to reject a transfer when asked. IT IS NOT COOL if the mindset for rejection was 'well they may be bad cuase they were already on the manifest and did not late join the shift.' Thats what bad. The reason it probaly hasn't been bwoinked in the past is cuase people didn't notice and the powergaming rule is fairly recent. Also it should have been bwoinked in the past but that was then and in hindsight.

I said karma races I addressed non karma in another pr. Also the kidan biolum is brighter then you think and notable if you actually change the color

Okay as per last time i am taking suggestions of karma races what you would like to see added or changed about karma races: These races are, Kidan, Vox, IPC, Grey, Drask, Slimes and Plasmamen. I am not listing the pros and cons of each one this time so just get to the suggestions. Though a bit of a disclaimer: JUST CAUSE SUGGESTION IS MADE DOES NOT MEAN ALL WILL BE CONSIDERED DEPENDING ON HOW FEASIBLE IT IS OR HOW IT MIGHT AFFECT BALANCE SO DON'T GET UPSET IF IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE IGNORED. IT ALSO MIGHT BE CHANGED INTO SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T WANT DUE TO SAID BALANCE RESONS. THE FIRST PERSON TO MENTION VOX LEAP GETS FED TO TIGER!

So i can't port everything or somethings are kinda byond my skill, plus i am having irl stress If anyone feels like coding or porting one of the following please feel free, i offer hugs in return: Planemaster system (i think polaris and/or tg uses it so look there) Icon code updates(our icon code sucks and is old, it could be more robus espically in character icon and limb generation, i think TG is also a good example of this) ...Thats it..Thanks! (help me...icon code is voodoo)

((didn't know where else to put it so its going here, not based on the cyberiad for the most part)) “So Since you are new to the station this is probably going to be your most efficient route without getting lost.” The human hand held the purple tinged PDA with a map on its screen, the map itself had a flashing route line on it. “Don’t worry about rushing things, there is another Janitor on shift she will handle some of the major stuff while you get use to things. Just remember, put down signs. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, put down signs when you mop.” The PDA was passed to the waiting red furred paw of a Tajaran wearing a typical station Janitorial uniform. “IF they do slip with a sign down you have my blessing to point at the sign and keep mopping.” The human Head of Personnel laughed and slapped the feline on the shoulder, half startling her as he went toward the door to the Janitorial closet. “Don’t worry Sefra’neem! Your first job will be fine! PDA me if any one yells at you!” “R-right..She will do her best!” the door closed behind the human leaving Sefra to take a deep breath and gather her supplies and pull her cart out the closet. It was just cleaning, what could go wrong? “Besides the clown…” She arrived at her first stop on her route setting up her signs, “...or an angry slipped assistant..” Next her mop went in the bucket then to the floor, starting to clean the area of the hall. “Or..” THUD! Sefra turned around mop in hand, leading to a stare down between her an scientist on the floor, apparently quickly moving across wet ground. The stares lasted a long while before the Taj timidly pointed to the sign she set up causing a grunt from the scientist before he stood up and shuffled away, slowly. The shift was going uneventful as she made her way along with her cleaning, checking her PDA every so often to ensure she was on the right track, however as she passed one of the Aux storage doors she stopped, Sefras ears perking up. She listened before speaking into her headset, “She hears beeping.”, her earpiece was barraged with a chorus of voices screaming ‘where’, before Sefra could respond she was blasted into the opposite wall by twisted metal and part of the airlock door she was near. It must have been shock keeping Sefra’neem awake at that point. Her eyes were blurred and her hearing was muffled, and everything on one side felt SHARP and almost like it was burning off. When she was able to focus her eyes the area was bathed in red..not just from the alarm lights, there was blood..ALOT of blood. TOO MUCH BLOOD! Someone had to have been next to that explosion other than her but when her eyes went to try to examine herself there was too much blood there...and bits of fur...and..and was that a foot? It was then Sefra felt her grip on consciousness slipping off, she was also felt herself being dragged and muffled squeaking noises..she tried to focus, Was that the clown? What was left of her vision went black to the sound of clown shoes. A sharp gasp and Sefras eyes snapped open, she couldn’t help but test the fingers on her robotic hand. It was a bad dream of a memory but she was home on mars, in bed next to her mate. She couldn’t help but wrap herself around Jay whot let out a grunt, it was going to be one of those mornings he needed the crowbar to remove the clinging Sefra.

my goal is to get to tairts..I am gonna do some baseline stuff on karma and non karma..then i need to get a framework ported/made. i got a few other things i want to do before a framework so may be a bit.

so this has kinda stagnated so some final dicussion behind the scenes with powers that be lend to the idea of Diona and water and possible the unathi speed and tail be good bets. Maybe i can add a bit more flavor to temperature tolerances, if anyone has any other ideas please get them in as i may start working on this on my days off.

you generally don't get brigged for shoving someone over...now if you constantly antag security or someone else to the point you need to be arrested...thats..a diffrent story.

...Was this reported as a bug on the git hub issue tracker? I need to go check now..

honestly i don't agree with changing the human shape it just needs sprite changes to any problem clothing sprites..by someone...

well this is space humans, if we go there we kinda get into a whole subspecies concept of things..and that would need a overhaul of how our our species code is handled (something some of us want to do but we got a few roadblock..namely our icon code)

yeah i kinda agree on the unathi stuff being much though i can see what you are going for (real life reptile inspiration here?) Good effort though! On the heat thing, Taj already have the heat intolerance its just not as notable. The temp thing was something i was thinking on but not sure how far you want to go with it or what should do, Want to make it flavorful but not tooo annoying.

yeah i knew i would forget some.

Okay so due to recent things on dark sight various issues have come up, namely racial pro, cons and how to balance. Another idea is a trait system, some thought needs to be done on that as well as coding. I would like to focus on baseline suggestion on the NON KARMA races WITHOUT traits first however. So i am gonna list what each race has and we can go on suggestions from there. Humans: Pros: Pale fleshy things, Cons: PALE FLESHY THINGS, Other:...fleshy things? Unathi: Pros: Darksight(3), Claws Cons: Other: Racial temperature intolerance (cold not as impactful as you think), Can eat some simple mobs(mouse,Chick/Chicken,Lizards,crabs,Butterflys,Parrots,Tribbles) Tajaran: Pros:Darksight(Value in flux due to PR but say 6), Claws Cons: Other: Racial temperature intolerance (heat not as impactful as you think), Can eat some simple mobs(mouse,Baby Chicks,Butterfly,Parrots,Tribbles) Vulpakanin Pros:Darksight(Value in flux due to PR but say 6), Claws Cons: Other: Can eat some simple mobs(mouse,Chick/Chicken,Lizards,crabs,Butterflys,Parrots,Tribbles) Skrell: Pros:Can Breath under water Cons:Very Weak Alchohal Tolerance Other:Has a headpocket to store one item. Diona: Pros:Do not need to eat, Regen in light, Do not need to breath, Space proof, Feels No Pain, Can Wear socks, No Blood Cons:SLOWSLOWSLOWSLOW, Takes damage in dark, Damage from plant-b-gone Other: Can absorb Nymphs. No there is a bunch of PR related to darksight right now, such as a PR for flashs related to darksight. I am not focusing on darksight, if it comes up in relation to something fine, but i am looking of what pros and cons can be added to any of the races listed to make them more flavorful..and not in the wanting to cook them sense.. ..Though if we HAD to cook them...

Sefra will just run in and hit them with newspaper.

Thats a problem with the player not the title. Its also a reason to get them fired. and depending on the extent of the players actions. BWOINKed. It is NOT a reason to removal the title.

I would love to play but given my work schedule sometimes I might be one of those players

the Veil ability already kills glowshrooms.

no the magistrate/iaa both work the same areas. People commonly misunderstand the IAAs spot. the magistrare/iaas work with Legal SoP/Space Law, where as NT reps work with SoP, making sure depts are orderly, inspecting department and keeping up with NTs interests. IAAs and magistrates could care less if you leave your locker open and area in a Mess (unless its the security locker rooms cuase seriously you people are pigs). NT rep is advisor really. If a crew member goes for them with a complaint and it ends up more on a legal sense then something that should threaten NTs interests and/or is a department being run wrong. (Medbay is suddenly a bar). They can and SHOULD pass the legal matters to the IAA/Security/Magistrate. If medbay has been turned into a bar..thats not a legal issue of space law being broken and the NT Rep should advise command to make them stop. There ARE CLEAR DEFINITIONS..but people choose to blur them.

The IAA deals with legal compliance and complaints about legal shit. The have a boss..Thats the magistrate.

We could touch it..we really could. But the thing is we have to prepare ourselves if we do touch it on the code team. Cuase i will be honest. Most attempts to balance things like races (and some other things). Are met with a high degree of salt, then a high degree of drama. I am one under the mindset things can be fixed and balanced. Sadly balance will always lead to people not happy about it.

Sorry spark, that is a player knowledge issue...kinda like when people take SSD into medbay. Its frusterating yes. But we can't adjust a player knowledge issue with a balance inducing issue, OR everything fox and flattest have been over. OH OH! Lets not forget people with robotic limbs being shoved in a cryo tube! (thats happend to me alot)

thing is...all our specis shit is global..

....Hugo is posting this from me rambling...Help hugo..help me..help you...be silly silly drunken things.
