Blob is a fairly unpopular gamemode, and we could just replaced it with this, keeping blob as an event, like rev has been suggested to be replaced by shadowlings.

https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/pull/9019 So, thoughts on this? Personally, I quite like the idea. Props to Magikarp for bringing it to my attention.

Just, anything really. The current list is ever so boring. Feel free to suggest any jobs you'd like to be added/re-added, if they've been removed.

They couldn't keep me away from my uniform forever! Is it just me, or is the NanoTrasen Naval Captain's uniform the best looking thing in the game?

You're late

I realise how it DOES sorta look like a bump. I wish I could delete it.

You're too nice, Streaky. To this day, this is one of the best things. One of the BEST things.

It certainly feels like an attack, considering it's something I said after spending an entire day observing and answering questions, this one being late at night, and the fact I fucked up and said something stupid that /could/ possibly be used against me makes me feel like it was an attack. It wasn't a real answer to anything and I'm seeing it here makes me feel self-conscious as fuck because, you know, it's something that shows I done fucked up. It could be interpreted in a variety of ways, most of them not fucking good. And further more, the fact he left out the actual answer to the question further shows malicious and slanderous intent. No, it does not. I don't think anybody interpreted it like that except you. It's fine, and unless you have solid, concrete proof that it wad malicious, I don't think I would advise driving that point further. All it will do is derail the thread for no reason (if your point isn't correct). If anything, he was trying to applaud you for humor. I don't see what's funny about it at all. Enlighten me, how could it be seen in a light OTHER than me messing up?

I recall a round with 101 players on, two staff. One trialmin, and one mentor, styla and myself. I remember a round with 76 players on, one staff. Myself. It happened again the next day. Please, please delist. Please. No-one will go to the second server, and I miss Paradise's RP, back when our peak population was 50 or so. Please, please delist.

Why the fuck is this thread still being debated on? I, for one, don't support it. At all. So, please cease discussion on the topic.

Er, you forgot to include the part where I actually told you what it does, rather than my silly headcanon. In actuality, cryogenic storage deletes your character and saves some select gear. So, yeah. Please don't come here to the screenshot thread and post something that makes me look bad and unknowledgable about game subjects.

Less players are taken out of the round? Yeah, that's totally a great backing to it and I love it yep /sarcasm. It just leads to characters having to change irrefutably and because thralls literally cannot do ANYTHING other than support the antagonist at hand, and eventually everyone gets enthralled because, you know, they can't do anything to stop it. It's stupid as all hell in my book, and I despise the idea of this antagonist in general.

Yes but a Shadowling can do it anywhere, to anyone, at anytime. can you imagine an MD shadowling? Throw someone into cryo for a second, eject them, convert while they are unconscious. It's a cheap, easy stun. How many dozens of people pass through medbay? Is there even an notification to local players that a person is being converted? Anyone can make cable cuffs and a stun prod, this is only slightly better than LOLFLASH since there is no protection against it. Even worse, since Hatched forms get their glare which allows them to 1v1 anyone, instantly stunning and muting for 30+ seconds at a distance. And you think people bitch about Changling stings. Balance Proposal: Make Loyalty implants able to prevent conversion. Give Holy water/Null rod chance to deconvert. If Shadowling is intent on converting an Implanted crew member (Such as a Security officer or Head of Staff) we could add a 'break mind' spell that would consume 1/2 the the Shadowling's total health, and cause the target to suffer from Mindbreaker-esque effects for 20-30 seconds (hallucinations, screaming a whole lot, ect...) After the effect is done, their implant would overload/fry and make them eligible for conversion. 2) Hatching has no requirement, Ascending is ludicrously low. Thralls are pooled, up to 3 Shadowlings can be present at a time. As stated above, it really only takes on Doctor to be a Shadowling and their ascension is unstoppable. Turn on a cryo tube, grab and toss everyone in it to stun them, thrall them, and have them bring everyone who steps in for treatement to you. Within 10-20 minutes I guarantee Lings will be ready to ascend. Can you imagine if Cult could convert 9 people, learn the words and summon Nar'Sie in 20 minutes? If 3 hatched Shadowlings are working in unison, it's pretty damn easy for them to take 3 people at once. It's not difficult to lure sec into the tunnels and once you get them your thralls can easily make 'arrests' bringing you more thralls or leaving them cuffed in a firefighting closet for you while they seek out new targets. Balance Proposal: Hatching should require at /least/ 5 thralls, and up the Ascension headcount by a fair number. 30 seems like a fair number, given how their resources are pooled and it should only become easier to convert people as you get more thralls. 3) Ascended form is just LMAO-OP levels. It's like a adminbus incarnate. Antagonists should feel powerful, but not unstoppable. Ascended Lings can happily wade through ERT, CC Commandos or Deathsquads without even flinching. They have about 100k hp, with their laser weakness it still takes 1000-5000 laser shots to kill one. With such a low barrier to become an ascended (even if we upped the requirement to 1/2 current crew) and there is up to 3 of them at any given time, little to no way to detect them or their thralls, their ludicrous powers are just op. Balance Propsal: Lower Ascended HP to 1000 + 100 for every thrall.This will encourage them to keep enthralling crew rather than outright murdering everyone on sight. It will also make it possible for Security/ERTs to drive one back if necessary or properly equiped. With their healing back on, they wouldn't be easy prey, but they wouldn't be unstoppable juggernauts who can stroll onto the bridge and kill everyone. I support this. All of it.

Really, really dislike this. All that means is shadowlings just stunspam and enthrall literally anyone.

Edit: Not supporting this until loyalty implants protect against enthrallment. That is all.

I am a meme

If Tajarans won't become a karma race, then I at least want this shit.

Welcome to Paradise, Low-RP since the end of the summer!

No, I'm Alice! In all seriousness, welcome to the server. Hope you have fun!

Reviving this because I know there's a lot of people out there who still go through the gateway, but often have to go through a rather annoying process to get there. Personally, I would do it more if it wasn't so damn hard to actually get there. Any thoughts on how to make it better/other ideas?

Besides, a good Blueshield doesn't need anything more than your typical .38 revolver to get the job done. Even then, enough rounds will kill people. Rubber bullets can be lethal, too.

Comes in DS and ERT flavours. I have Dave to thank for spawning it in. "Enlist with the NanoTrasen ERT reserves today!"

Optimal workings conditions for an NT Rep. As well as a super sweet "Enlist!" poster!

More incredibly heretical things to hate? No fucking thanks. I can only imagine the weird catbeast dogbeast interactions that'll happen, dear lord.
