I'll give you a response that doesn't include the two responses you don't like hearing. Bolting the teleporter is a little iffy, but it's fine. If you know the bolt wire, it's super easy to get into. If it's unpowered (which is exessive), you can either cut through or just build your own teleporter (be a scientist, ask to be a scientist, or break into science to build the parts. If you don't want to do that, get an EVA suit, throw yourself out of an airlock, and find the Ruski DJ station and go south for your free teleporter.). If you're talking about door speed, it's usually only done on the bridge to prevent tailgating. When people say "max your suit sensors so we can find your mangled body", they're generally joking and don't mean "there's going to be antags here, so max your suit sensors". Remember, this isn't HRP, you will see AIs and other crew members say super goofy shit. I haven't played on Paradise in a while, but the last time I played security, it was generally understood that you're supposed to do one single patrol of the entirety of maintenance at roundstart, then patrol the hallways. This patrol isn't to find antags, but to clean maintenance of anything that could be used to make a weapon, or that's considered contraband. If there's any reports of hostiles in maintenance, we patrol again. I almost never see officers "camping" maintenance the entire round, namely because they're just asking to get killed. If you're an antag and you see that shit happen, just kill them, they deserve it.

Take off harm intent. It's not really their job to chase after criminals unless under extenuating circumstances where security forces are lacking.

You should join the Discord server and talk it up with some people.

Because I'm a sadist

Adding onto this, officers who refuse to answer your inquiries about the offending person's crimes over comms, then get mad when you cut them loose to keep processing from being clogged up.

How to properly toast a blueshield after a good shift. Got bored after an NT rep round, so I painted Shesi onto the floor. Making the best out of playing barber Just hanging around.

But how will he know to drag a monkey around everywhere on shadowling rounds to abuse the way glare works? honk

The easiest solution is to take a break from jobs that are mindshielded and try out other jobs with your antag preferences on. Not only do you get to learn the other jobs on the station, but you actually have a chance to play as an antag. It gives you a much better understanding of what you're fighting when you play security.

Don't be silly. Talking like an idiot in-game starts to leak into your personal DMs after a while. You will never know our suffering.

They're going to do that anyway to arm themselves. Rather than have a rule, have the department head secure anything they want to keep safe before all access is handed out.

Last time crew members didn't get all access, they nearly rioted until some rando scientist with a laptop started giving it out. They both have upsides and downsides, and I think it should be up to command to make the decision when war is declared.

Yes you are.

That's pretty unreasonable. I do remember a time where you made a TON of mistakes as a security member, but you were new, and everyone starts somewhere. That was months ago, though. Just earlier today, I saw you showing better knowledge of Space Law than whoever was playing HoS that round. It's clear that you've gotten a lot more experience and became less prone to mistakes. Can't say what the best thing to do in this situation would be besides ahelp if you think you're being metagrudged.

This isn't really something that can be helped. It's very dependent on which admins are online. That's what the HoP is for. If the HoP is unavailable, the captain can do it. If neither of them are available, you probably have bigger problems to deal with. So if there's no NT rep on station, execution faxes and other important documents can't be sent? Also, there's already a card scanner for ERTs. The NT rep also has a card scanner. I do like the idea of a command channel that lets you communicate with the NAS Trurl via telecomms, but then faxes will likely fall out of favor. Why write a professional, well formatted document and fax it (which has a long cooldown) when you could just talk to an NT officer over comms? I like the idea of improving the NT rep to be more impactful, but I don't think this is the way to do it. I'll think up some ideas and make a reply sooner or later. Just keep in mind that the NT rep is meant to be the 'advisor' role. If a member of command is ignoring your advice, they do so at their own risk.

NEW DISCUSSION: WHAT SHOULD THE BANNER BE?

VOXXYS IS GOODINGS SKREK DUSTLUNGS

Powergaming is basically "playing to win". SS13 is supposed to be a game you immerse yourself in and roleplay everything out. There are some people, however, that always have a strategy, prepare for any encounter, splint every limb in their body to prevent bone-breakage, always carry stuns/slips/etc. It's not against the rules per say, but it's definitely frowned upon. In SkeletalElite's scenario, he's saying that since stamps and signatures can now both be forged, a powergamer would use that knowledge deem it "not enough proof".

Whenever I play NT rep, cappy, HoS, warden, or similar jobs, I have four tabs open. I call these tabs the Holy Four. https://nanotrasen.se/wiki/index.php/Space_law https://nanotrasen.se/wiki/index.php/Contraband https://nanotrasen.se/wiki/index.php/Standard_Operating_Procedure https://nanotrasen.se/wiki/index.php/Legal_Standard_Operating_Procedure With these four tabs, you've got everything SOP and Space Law related at your fingertips.It's all easily accessible. I cannot recommend enough having these open whenever you play one of those jobs. Before you're going to make any major decisions about executions or sentencing, consult these pages and make sure whatever you do is in accordance to space law. I tell you this not so you can be a better HoS, but so you don't have to suffer the embarrassment of being demoted/executed/BSA'd because of a space law mishap. Also, welcome!
