There is no excuse to ever give it to science.

Thread was dead anyway

Three lewd slimepeople squishing in a locker

Anyone here play hearthstone? Add me: Name is Lowlander I'm in the European region.

### INTERNAL COMMUNICATION ### To: Nanotrasen Special Operations Command From: Epsilon ERT Commander, callsign 'Janitor' Subject: Shortage of manpower Dear NTSOP command, This is the current situation report of the Epsilon ERT forces: Total manpower: 200 Humans, 10 cyborgs. Dispatched manpower: 180 humand, 3 cyborgs Reserve manpower: 20 humans, 7 cyborgs -- The current teams dispatched are at stations in far regions, and have the objective 'Explosive Solution', as such it's a one-way trip. The remaining manpower (see 'Reserve manpower') is VERY low. I would like to remind you to refill our ranks, I have composed a new training schedule already, that's all taken care of. Hail Nanotrasen Janitor ### END ###

What you COULD do to make medbay more involved, is nerf/remove mannitol for example, and make brain damage only fixable with surgery. Furthermore, another idea would be to force doctors to perform surgery or other extensive steps to restore brute/burn damage above a certain treshold. Then again, that would also just make doctors throw certain people in the cloner entirely, so it would also require a cloning change.

I am totally in favour of this idea. I will never forget the warden who hadn't read up on roles a lot and had no idea what he was doing when he was supposed to put a guy in permabrig. He put him in a normal cell instead and tried to set the timer. When confronted by me (magistrate), ran off without prior warning to 'read up on roles'. I took over the perma'ing after that. At least they were honest about their (then) lack of knowledge. I think this is a very good idea.

Agreed

Exactly! I will play cmo soon. Magnificent, are they?

NT is making a Clone Army and they will wage a grand-scale war against the Syndicate. The clones are engineered to be less self-aware, offer less criticism, but still be better than droids. It's all clear now, folks.

Well at least that's something. I still think the new system is horrible, however.

Also don't get me started on the fact that corazone is removed. The ONE chemical that would actually be super helpful is removed. Like, seriously?

Trauma patches removed I think, so what is used in surgery now to fix organ damage?

Been saying this for some time.

For the MINOR crimes ONLY for example, it would certainly be doable. For class 2 and up, brig time is actually worth it. Let's change this discussion to: FLogging as a possible sentence for MINOR crimes.

It'd kinda half of a joke really. Like, I would like to see some variety in punishments, if possible. It just feels so dull at times, especially for MINOR crimes. The minor 5-minute crimes are more hassle than it's worth, when it comes to processing, bringging, etc.

Flogging at the discretion of security in the end. Security could always refuse and do jail time instead. It should be optional, not mandatory. OR Make it so only the magistrate has the power to order a flogging. Or caning or whatever. This would be doable, the magistrate spawns with a telescopic baton. It would be a good 'lesson' for minor offenders. To be fair, brigging someone for five minutes for a crime is often more hassle than it's worth. You're also on a science station, time is short, staff is often sparse and not always able to constantly keep watch on prisoners in the brig sufficiently. It would also give people less incentive to just go SSD/suicide in some cases. And what with the way NT acts (strict, authoritarian, etc), this would also not be far-fetched at all. With the implementation of the new medical (if it gets implemented), this would also be good because it would make damage more significant.

My idea is to include flogging as a punishment for certain crimes instead of brig time. The amount of flogs would be proportional to the severity of the crime(s) committed. Security would always have the option to deny it and have people serve brig time instead. I would also propose public flogging in front of the bridge, or in the bridge, for people to watch, to entertain the crew. Have the magistrate and the HoS/Warden start with a whip at roundstart. Having flogging instead of jail time would make security run smoothly at times and would make processing faster. We could make a holodeck option for a 'flogging arena', with benches and everything, where people could watch it. The flogging would happen with an actual whip though. Overall I think this is a great idea to boost crew morale, provide stress-relieving activities for security officers, provide alternative punishment options and make security run smoother by having to waste less time with brigging, keeping watch and all that stuff. EDIT: Slight change: FLOGGING ONLY FOR MINOR (class 1) crimes. Class 2 and up still get brig time.

In any case, the CQC blueshield PR, as was sadly expected, was closed on github.

Ha! I was the detective that shift! Excellent work! HONK.

It would also be able to be a new objective for antags to steal the blueshield's gloves, if it were done in a gloves-way.

So the dev's hate it, it doesn't get implemented. Dev's like it, it gets implemented. That's sadly how it is. Look at medbay and all that. The blueshield does need a buff. The validhunting is NO excuse, we have a rule for that and admins to enforce the rules. If that's not possible, change the rules or get more admins. Validhunting in general needs to be punished more severely, but I'll not go into that here. The blueshield is supposed to be highly trained. CQC would fit in that. Or some other form of training. If the blueshield doens't need CQC, IMO the warden doesn't need krav maga. Because that makes even less sense IMO. Blueshield acting like redshields should get reprimanded. The captain can also just fire them. We have OOC AND IC options to deal with validhunting. Witholding the implementation of new features should not be one of them.

I too would be in favor of this idea.
