If this is is yesterday's round, a Central Command announcement saying to look at the mining station. We went over in the shuttle, about five blob spores came on when we arrived, then we hastily left (and almost died). The HoP's things were dissolved, and we called the shuttle. The red blob expanded...

I like it, it's a good way to help science get to telesci 5 without them needing to gut the teleporter. This is really just a buff to the mining-science synergy. Your a god damn scrub if you need the teleporter to be deconned. How to get Bluespace 6: Telebacon Teleporter Circuit Board Sync Go to ro...

Put strange toys in in it and press 'discover'. Some of them are marginally interesting - they spawn hostile mobs, blow you up or teleport you into space when you use them. Effects I've found: Spawns corgi when used Spawns horde of random mobs (usually hostile) when used Explodes Teleports the user ...

You should be able to wear a bedsheet on your head slot to look spooky. Cult bedsheets (admin-only, I think) turn your sprite into a ghost whilst you wear it.

Objective #1: Abduct and probe the AI. SUCCESS!

TheNightingale

Do they process reagents when in ascended form? If there was some way to inject them with {chemistry deathmix}, that might work. Maybe.

TheNightingale

And the shutters should cover the door as well, because then a good AI can DOORCRUSH X2 COMBO! anyone who stands in the right place.

TheNightingale

B-but I want to ERP in Patient Room A at the same time! I can't ghost and ERP at the same time...
... unless I do it in deadchat! Genius!

TheNightingale

How else do you expect people to watch secret ERP in Patient Room B?

TheNightingale

Remember that when something travels at speed in space and hits something else, it bounces off. (Shoot yourself out a mass driver and test it.)

How would you code it so that the crate can still hit people when it's flying through space at Mach 3, but not bounce off the window?

TheNightingale

You are a Traitor! Your objective is to steal a set of ablative armour.
(One ablative crate later...)

TheNightingale

After most of a round of intense lag (averaging at about 7s ping-pong, and reaching 25 often), I resolved to do something good with my life as an Atmospheric Technician. Namely, summoning beings from the eldritch beyond.

TheNightingale

Set one on fire and sprinkle potassium on the floor. They'll all ignite each other, and you can't extinguish them for fear of the water reacting with the potassium.

TheNightingale

Drones need a hardsuit-piercing neurotoxin hypospray they can only use when curled up in a ball (i.e. when they've been picked up).

TheNightingale

You'll know if it's in the right state when it has a red exclamation mark on it.
Does it still work on dead people (i.e. like normal) when EMPed?

TheNightingale

If you're the admin choice of headmin, can you win this one as well and become a two-headed hydramin?

TheNightingale

Congratulations. I hope you'll be a good headmin.

TheNightingale

I'll give $5/month later. Good luck.

TheNightingale

Or they can assist the Detective in investigations and act as a prosecutor in trials, shouting; "OBJECTION!" every second sentence.

TheNightingale

It's an interesting idea, but I think pulling out someone's fingernails/eyeballs might be just a little too graphic.

You mentioned burning making Asimov/Corporate/Paladin AIs not mind, since it doesn't deal damage. I have a feeling Paladin AIs might object to torture in general?

TheNightingale

It doesn't make you robust in combat, but it stops Assistants disarming you and stealing your stuff. And that's what matters.

Job: Cadence Meme, Operative operating operationally Action: Cadence stared at the newcomer's dynamic entrance, raising an eyebrow.

Genetics is RNG-based. You might get x-ray early, you might find it on your last block after two hours of work. R&D is path-based. Follow a guide (such as http://pastebin.com/p631LtdZ, for instance) and you can't go wrong. X-ray is horribly overpowered. Thermals are overpowered, but not too much...

"Removed non-functional gun charger from the shuttle bridge" Could you set it so it doesn't use power instead? (Similarly, the NanoMeds in shuttle medbay don't work because there's no power.) Also, is that two foxes in the Captain's Office? http://prntscr.com/6qpht1 Minor suggestion - can ...

We don't need to correct the tools available; we need to correct the attitude with which people misuse them.

TheNightingale

You can only build a part (i.e. you only have its blueprint) if you've already deconstructed two of that part already. Disassembling a gun for its parts should have a chance to destroy a part - double so if it's a syndicate gun (due to their unfamiliar nature). You can order part crates (not bluepri...

TheNightingale

I'm a fan of flurosulfuric acid smoke - but it only works for surprise attacks (and mousetrapped boxes), since if someone runs away from it, it will fail. It also causes damage to the target's things and nearby objects, so don't use it if you want to loot them. ClF3 foam is good as well, but it caus...

Those exist in the code.
Well, they fire meteors, but it's the same principle.

Just to clarify, has the tech level change actually gone through for implants? I was under the impression it was just a (good) suggestion, needing high Biotech (i.e. alien brains... or a microlaser health analyzer, you traitor, you). I've never seen a revive implant, either in the Protolathe's medic...

I have a copy of the old code (with the Dark Souls-esque away missions), and it really is just like you say. I like that about them, though - the best way to clear an away mission was to toss a bombcap bomb or five through the gateway, by the looks of it. Can simple mobs (including hostile syndicate...

There will be no Owl. :owlman: Owl, defender of justice and protector of the innocent, they who stalk the night with wing and claw, delivering the law's divine might unto those who dare trespass against it. Of course, they'd get hunted down and executed in minutes, but. Maybe put an owl suit in the...

The problem with stunning someone, cuffing them and dragging them in for questioning (whether as Security, an involved party or even as your resident vigilante) is that inevitably, when you're going through the hallways, someone (probably in a grey jumpsuit, budget insulated gloves and a wallet for ...

TheNightingale

X-ray guns do have genuine, non-overpowered uses (dealing with perma'd prisoners whilst simultaneously practising your aim; killing aliens trapped in a confined space), but blobs really can't defend against them. Maybe make the x-rays stop after they pass through a few tiles of denseness (mobs, wall...

TheNightingale

You were bwoinked for critting someone and dragging them to medbay? That's my #1 favourite 'EMT versus grifflord' strategy. I applaud you. Really, though, stunprods and cuffs are necessary. How else do you plan to semi-stealthily take down the HoS as a ling? And spears have never even been a problem...

TheNightingale

Mrow~

TheNightingale

Actually, the idea of someone in crit pulling out their pistol and firing a single shot at their attacker before slumping to the floor and dying is quite interesting. Or someone who's just been shot four times; as they die, they press their remote signaller, detonating the bombs hidden around the st...

As a regular RD, anyone who says that endgame R&D is balanced isn't being honest. Science, more so than any other department, has access to shiny toys - and due to the nature of R&D, anyone competent, or with a guide (http://pastebin.com/p631LtdZ I'll just leave this here) can get those easi...

TheNightingale

Don't do this. Stunprods aren't just useful for subduing someone in melee non-lethally if you don't have a stunbaton, or as an offensive tool for antags, but I use them in R&D for Combat 3. I-I mean, they're useful for other things as well - in fact, they're one of a Revolutionary's weapons of c...

The clown will finally fulfill his true purpose as Security-exclusive piñata, I suppose. And the mime will Owl. There's an Owl Hardsuit in the code (it's a reskinned nuclear/traitor blood-red). If the mime is the Owl, they need this. It can hold an active energy sword in its suit storage slot, or a...

I feel like the only one who skipped the "Observe and play Assistant" phase and jumped right into Roboticist. It's a great job for beginners. Though I was tasked with building a Cyborg my first round and just as I got the brain out, a Singularity began to eat the lab while the brain screa...

Laser weapons have the advantage of being able to shoot through windows, which is exceptionally useful against carp. Additionally, laser-protective gear is harder to come by (there's only one set of ablative) and many have nonlethal modes for when you want to subdue, not kill. Compared to this, ball...

TheNightingale

I wouldn't say debrain objectives are difficult - it's just killing someone with an extra step. However, they are awful objectives. Debraining someone (and it has to be their current brain) takes them out of the round forever, unless they become a drone, pAI, alien, golem etc. And although lings are...

You don't "stare at a black screen for 10 minutes" (iamgoofball in the PR). You stare at a black screen for a few seconds, then wait for your killer to come back and whisper your last words. Or you succumb, but that's less fun. You only stare at a black screen for {however long it takes fo...

The ERP ban was from before An0n3 was made host (and so not a host job), and Kavaloosh was harassing other players.

It's not too hard to work out. If it affects players directly in-game, it's a headmin thing - if not, it's a host thing.

You can turn them back on?

Well, now I feel silly.

What is all this rubbish with public logs anyways? Why are they are thing, and why doesnt Anon want them?
