I don’t see bridge hobos as a negative by themselves. I do see bridge hobos as a negative when they: Crowd primary hallway with difficult to traverse terrain, buildings, vending machines, tables, walls, and windows (without CE approval. Which is never.) Spout incoherent nonsensical shit at command trying to get their attention for something stupid (“Captain givbe me ur soap ehehehe aren’t I quirky? I’m not gonna stop *scream spamming until you do! Fucking comdom”) Try to break into the bridge by dismantling windows and generally other tider behavior and then throwing a pissy fit when sec comes to brig their ass and they start screaming “shitsec! Riot!” When bridge hobos aren’t doing these things, yea, it’s usually cause they wanna just vibe and hang out with the added backround noise of listening in on the goings on of the bridge and centralized nature of the bridge area. Like having the TV on while you’re in a conversation. It’s just backround noise. As long as hobos aren’t being shitters, I don’t see them as a problem. If command desires, they can slam the shutters and ignore them. ———————————— On assistant titles: If I recall, we did away with “businessman, tourist, civilian” job titles because that seemed to give people the idea that “I don’t work here. You can’t tell me what to do. So fuck off and how dare you suggest I go do work, HoP.” I’m exaggerating, but I think this was the general behavior. “I don’t work here and am in no way expected to have to listen to anyone”. Having everyone as an assistant helps reign that mentality back a bit. Yes, you do work here. Nothing is generally expected of you, but stop trying to claim sections of maints as your sovereign territory or whatever it is you justify doing as a “civilian”. Personally I feel the removal of the alt titles have been a slight improvement, but it’s nothing catastrophicly game changing. There will always be tider assistants, regardless of what the job title says on their ID. Besides. We all live for the moment admemes let Mr Antagman minibomb the hobos. Teach those bums a lesson. Edit: I’m convinced bridge hobos do it for the backround noise and central location. You don’t have bridge hobo culture (at least not as strongly) on Farragus because it’s not centralized and bridge command is out of sight at the computer area

I like the wide screen feature. The smaller chat window is not really that big a deal, and the larger viewport feels like opening my eyes for the first time and seeing ss13 in all its glory.

I am sick and tired of being woken up in the middle of the night by late night Vox parties. I can hear “SKREEE” and “KIKIKI” through the WALLS during their outrageous raves. All I can do is hope and pray for the teeth clenching skrees to stop. I pray for the day I can finally get a good nights rest. Stop these skreeing hooligans! signed, old man

I’m terrible at putting my thoughts into words, doubly so on a public forum, so please don’t put me on the cross: but what if we moved changeling from being its own game mode to instead being a traitor upload bundle much like how the contractor bundle is? 20 TC changeling bundle: You receive a chameleon jumpsuit and dormant dehydrated head slug. The slug is inside an implanter that can only be used by the one who purchased it, and upon use, makes you a changeling as the head slug merges with your conscious. Optionally have the PDA uplink self terminate so you can’t rob other tots for crystals?/relive the changeling with a desword combo from days of old. This makes playing as a changeling optional so you’re not having to deal with 130 players in highpop and the headache that it usually is, while also being granted a chameleon jumpsuit to better utilize the ‘blending in’ and ‘hiding in plain sight’ appeal of the transformation and identity theft abilities of the changeling. Im not sure if a full chameleon kit would be too overpowered hence just the jumpsuit, but I’m sure someone has a better idea on how that could be implemented. this doesn’t outright fix changelings of course, but instead makes it more of an opt in side grade like the contractor.

I was under the impression that: sec using riot armor? Shoot them. sec using bulletproof? Stab them. plus the energy/laser reduction is rather low on both, it’s practically negligible. I think they’re fine as is and compel antags to be adaptable in their weaponry. Or at the least, have an energy weapon.

When you say, “see how people react…” is there another forum thread that we should be discussing the trial systems and voicing our opinions/discussing on discord?

I remember when I first joined some years ago, I was still learning doctor. Some nerd vet needed minor surgery but there was a line of people in worse conditions… so naturally their meta friend hacks the door, pushes my patient off the table, steals the tools, and starts fixing their friend’s foot. they were charged with manslaughter as the other patient died.

Don’t really have much to add to this conversation as Necaladun made some pretty solid points. If the issue is simply voter turn out, encourage people to vote more. Remind your friends to vote not just at the end of round, but in discord as well. Saying that people shouldn’t be allowed to vote for their preferred map because it’s not the map you want kind of defeats the point of the voting system in my eyes.

Also known as Shaw. Hello fellow nerds! I have come to the realization that I am nearing my 4 year anniversary of playing on this delightful spessman game and currently boasting 2200+ hours on Paradise alone; and I never did do one of these introductions! Better late than never, eh? Some of you may know my character in game, Dahk Grel the vulp. He’s one of my first characters and definitely my most played. He’s a bit of a self insert at times as opposed to some of my other characters who I’ve actually invested lore and character traits into, but I still love to play him for that slightly more casual feel. Paradise has been my most favorite game/server to play over the last nearly four years, and I hope to invest another four at least. The community, game mechanics, art style, inside jokes, and atmosphere are the absolute best I’ve ever seen in a game, and for that I love it to death. I have also absolutely been ‘that guy’ who tries to get IRL friends to check out ‘that weird 2d spess game that’s definitely not Among Us+‘. Here’s to another four years, nerds. Love ya. <3

Make hugging harassment too then, smh my head random strangers walk up and HUG me showing me AFFECTION. makes me sick. in all seriousness, I think the only problem with kissing is that it’s coded as a projectile and can trigger things that it shouldn’t be able to as mentioned above.

First of all, thank you @Sirryan2002 for taking the initiative and taking the charge on getting our wiki up to date; it’s much needed and much appreciated. I am still working on the EMP page. Currently just looking for more things to add. I am a little inefficient as to how I go about looking for items as I am just using my in game experiences for things I *think* would interact with an EMP, and then using a test server to emp flashlight/emp grenade said objects and observing what happens. I have tried combing the code to see which items have emp interactions, however code is a new thing to me and while I can “sort of” read it, it’s mostly inefficient. I am going to continue relying on taking notes of items I see while playing on Para that I would think could be EMP’d and hoping that the community PMs me either here or on discord about items they think would be affected by an EMP so I can then test. Once I have more entries, I will then work on formatting the page to look nicer and more organized.

Idea: In the character creation screen, have an option to set your default suit sensors (maximum by default) so that you don't accidentally forget to turn them on/off mid game. Why: Most people don't like dying and are pretty fond of medical finding their corpses and reviving them. Having the option to have suit sensors on maximum by default even from the pre-game lobby ensures that should someone die, they have a better chance of being found and revived. This works the other way around as well, having them off by default is probably the course for people who like playing antag and don't like helping security get that extra edge in being able to find them via suit sensors. And since the option would be from the character creation screen, it would carry over from game to game, so you don't need to manually adjust suit sensors every time. Coding Difficulty: Easy-Moderate Scope: Small quality of life change Balance: It /can/ backire on antags who forget to turn suit sensors off, but its usually something all antags check for anyway

Add floor tiles and lights to all of maints

building an aquarium wall for chef in the kitchen (they’d have to fill it though) Connecting Jani closet with that room of paramedic gear cause why not? dismantle decorations in escape and build the ultimate waiting area for when the Tesla is loose and everyone is hiding tired, scared, and alone check permabrig for false walls delete space by building More Cyberiad

+1 I like this idea. Helps with down time in a couple departments

Name of Event: (Death) Poker Night One Sentence Description: Poker Tournament! Map Changes: Minor changes to the default map Will this work with the standard NSS Cyberiad map? Yes, but we'd need to add some tables around the library, chapel, hallways, medical, and escape, as needed. Code Changes: No Will this work with the standard Paracode base? yes Suggested Number of Players: <50 What type of population level would this be best for? Any number of players would be possible. Ideally 8-50 just so it doesn't drag on forever. Full Description of Event: It's Poker Night! Bust out the cards, raid the ATM's and start up a game. Blinds steadily increase as time goes on making elimination happen faster and faster. Each time a player busts out, they can enter cyro, head to the arcade, holodeck, or just watch the rest of the games. (Optionally, make this a twisted Nanotrasen culling of staff and kill off any staff who bust out. Force them into the guillotine, out into space, feed them poison, be creative!) Why: For those rounds where we don't really have that much players and you can tell things are gonna be slow. This would probably be a voted on thing.
