I mean like, the initial popup at round start for people to begin voting. Then at round end you could still add your vote in before it actually finalizes the choice?

Heck I would say have the vote take place at round start while everyone is waiting there at the lobby. They have nothing better to do than wait for the round to start, maybe more might do it while they are waiting.

Siding with Neca on this. The issue is primarily with the vast majority of people just not even bothering to vote because they do not care, forget about it, or think their vote would do nothing. Removing the choice entirely from the players and forcing something down their throats is not a good path forward in regards to something which effects every single round. From a few days ago, heres when I reminded people to vote in an announcement at round end and surprise surprise Delta won the roll. What is telling about this though is that this is a total of 21 votes when the server had around 80+ people in it at the time on the hub listing. I cannot sign off on removing the choice from the playerbase as they are the ones who are playing it every round.

This completely slipped my mind that we put PRR's in here too. April 11th, 2022 @CharliminatorHas been promoted to PRR

The honk is always watching.

Grug give good rocks. Grog give pointy stick for many years of rocks.

Finally you have random shennagains, builds, and pranks I have done to the playerbase as a player myself in game hiding amongst you all either as my character Henry Grandpa gadow or incognito.

Then you have little dance/music parties I occasionally hold as Mr Bones on quiet rounds for the players to relax to as I play music for them and take requests.

Some remaps/minor events I have done to make things a bit different.

Here are some shennagains captured of the players in their natural habitat. Yes, the image below is security capturing a changeling and keeping it contained for the entire round.

Here are some events I give to the crew for them to do during slow rounds, or something to keep things interesting. This line of things will be the build your own shuttle events I run. Had to crew fix up the white ship a few times in the past as an event after docking it at the station. I also have the crew build their own shuttles in order to leave the station.

So, prepare yourselves. Because here comes Grandpa's dump of screenshots and gifs from over the years. Starting with the gifs First thing I did getting admin. Stuck ghosts into the ponies at the lobby screen and made them dance. 2018-11-19_19-12-51.mp4 Quiet round with nothing going on. Decided to frighten the engineers. And the days of Fastmos which some of you were not around for. un3km5i.mp4 Next comes player driven events.

Apparently this grandpa grows plants. Well, it fits what Gadow has gotten into in the back room of the cargo warehouse in the past with his black market drug dealing legit medicinal herbal smokes.

@WarriorstarHah, the amount of work it took me to make space fake was pretty crazy. I am glad everyone that was there that round enjoyed that curveball.

Who the hell is necroing

Agreeing with this. The addiction chances feel way overdone with the change.

There is no argument on this topic or reason it should be or will ever be changed. Knowing sleeping carp makes you an EOC just as much as possessing any other S class contraband. That is the staffs judgement on such including Kyet as headmin.

@Medi Keep in mind that block and reflection are two completely different stats and that ALL shields and some weapons have a chance for blocking bullets/lasers. Only energy shields and double energy swords have the laser reflection tied to them instead of block. So by doing what you propose that would mean you are nerfing both its melee block % chance and its bullet block % chance.

Honestly, we could just take TG's double eswords with how they handled it which works very well. You still have the same reflection chance for energy projectiles, but it no longer has any melee block chance, however it has in exchange a low reflection on physical bullets.

I uh...accidentally killed the entire shuttle in two button clicks. On my end the shuttle did not dock with the station yet for another 30 seconds, so I tried loading the fancy shuttle for everyone to enjoy since it was a chaotic round. But, as it turns out the shuttle had already docked with the station instead, so the new shuttle replaced the old shuttle....and removed everything on it.

Name:Henry 'Grandpa' Gadow Age:59 Gender:Male Race:human Blood Type:AB+ General Occupational Role(s): Supply and Service jobs with Quartermaster being his main job Biography: Henry is an older member of Nanotrasen who has been working with them for many long years. Due to the life extension via their advanced cloning not even he truly remembers how old he is anymore. Henry joined up with NT in his earlier years wanting to quit his job of being managing a fish and chips parlor on old terra in what used to be Wales, England. Getting intially signed in as a freight mover on a defense station in the Tau Ceti sector, over the years he eventually became the stations quartermaster and due to his excellent management of the stations supply department he became the central command supply master for some time at the NAS Crescent in that sector. His love for supply and cargo management in general grew over those years in that job, managing the supply shipments to the multiple stations there and building good rapport with the cargo crew there. He would occasionally butt heads with the leadership by making a random bar or fish and chips parlor in the cargo department backrooms, leading to some antics with drunk techs staging gambling in the form of mule races. After some 'subtle encouragement' from the NT officials there he resigned from the job of Supply master in exchange for returning for a quartermaster job at some new station in the Tau Ceti sector which needed a firm hand in getting things sorted there. With a party for his stepping down by the cargo sector there and a warm farewell, the officer in charge deemed Henry to keep the mark of his office due to his work, and with that he stepped onto a shuttle departing to the NSS Cyberaid. Qualifications: Freight management, mining, basic engineering and construction, basic first aid, mixing drinks, cooking basic foods, and cleaning floors. Employment Records: Fish and Chips parlor manager on Old Terra Freight move and quartermaster for NDS Inferno Supply Master for NAS Crescent Quartermaster for NSS Cyberaid Security Records: -Ocasionally will be found running a 'medicinal majuana' shop on station -Enjoys gambling - Keep an eye out for mule races -Has a weakness for cigars.

@ZN23X Only if it involves a lot of booze, drunk karaoke, while standing on a mulebot.
