When your connection discos and during that 10 second window you come back to see some shit of a greyshirt trying to loot your stuff.

People get really upset when they get tabled, it seems. I personally find it pretty fun, provided they aren't trying to steal your shit.
So I guess you wouldn't mind if security suddenly decides to taze you for no reason but doesn't actually do anything else to you?

Tabling while hilarious in some instances leaves anyone getting tabled stunned for long enough to either be looted or be chain stunned. So if you really think going around tabling someone FNR and you don't expect someone to fight back then you're rather dense.

8 hour Autism rounds because R&D hasn't turned every one into beings of pure energy and robust.

The whole fact solar can power the entire station when in fact if should be just enough with sacrifices. IE Turning off power where its not needed and leaving large chunks of the station un-powered

The whole lets get rid of lord sing so i can do my 8 hour Autism fest because a loose sing 15 minutes in ruined my ass with shuttle call.

This is why I'd like to see some much more powerhungry devices on the station. Leave solars there as the "emergency backup power supply that can keep the lights on, people breathing, and the most basic of functions" but jesus christ let's give the singulo/supermatter a reason to exist (and the engineers a reason to do fun shit like supercooled plasma in the collectors or having four singulos going at once besides simply having BIGGER NUMBERS in the powernet)

Megawatts. Gigawatts are something that you won't see on the station until you can somehow contain a S5.

1,000W = 1kW
1,000,000W = 1,000kW = 1MW (It'll appear as something like 1.063e+006W if you ping a wire.)
1,000,000,000W = 1,000,000kW = 1,000MW = 1GW (If you somehow ever get this big, it'll look like 1.063e+009W or something.)

I have once gotten the singulo running at over a giggawatt, doesn't actually require that much modification and it is 100% stable.

I'm not really a fan of the controversy behind having multiple roundstart species and honestly feel it would be for the best if they were never added/quickly reverted, but can't even say that without people going "u ssspeciessst u jussst dont liek muh sssnowflake lizardsss"

Max containable stage singulo completely surrounded by a double-rank of filled collectors might nudge a gigawatt. Seeing as the output when you wire a standard singulo to the grid is 1.2 megawatt.

(for reference, a single gigawatt is four full powersinks. Not their drain, their total capacity before exploding)

I have no problem with lizardpeople (Who are often some of the best players), and I actually play them occasionally. I only go total hitler when they try to subvert the AI to human themself (You chose not to have AI protection, man) or someone demands that the AI follow law 2 orders / the AI declares that it's considering lizards human this shift

Namely the ones where sec implants people and then just throws them out of the brig.

Where they then get violently murdered because removing implants is a hassle or something

Validhunters. Not just normal validhunters (I can understand that) but extreme validhunters. I mean, if a sec officer takes a cham projector from evidence storage and goes around disguised as a clown mask, the kind of person who would make a stunprod and cablecuffs, kidnap the person, space them, and then keep the chameleon projector for themself.

Leaving aside the cham projector, I remember one engineer who was exactly as you describred. I was antag (And quite evil at that, no excuses), the guy simply saw me acting suspiciously, wordlessly took out his stunprod (just having that item puts the person in question in my shit list immediately) and attacked me.
Just as wordlessly, he kidnapped me, searched my stuff (including multiple bombs) spaced and bombed me, because apparently security couldn't contain me. Later he went to deactivate a non-rogue AI, also wordlessly.

Sometimes the station needs a hero to save it from all kinds of enemies, and sometimes you got apprentices of the punisher ruining the fun of everyone but themselves because they can.

People with stunprods. If you have a good reason for it (confirmed operatives, the traitor is murdering everyone), that's fine, but making a stunprod when you get on station? Nope.

I was a Centcomm Official yesterday (adminspawned for a surprise inspection), and a delightful greyshirt decided to stunprod me and take my things. The next time I found them alone I tried to disabler them, and was stunprodded, cablecuffed and hatcheted to death. :salt:

I don't think I've ever actually seen a stunprod used for something legitimate...

I generally make stunprods because I expect other people to make stunprods, and because literally everyone shits all over lizards, anyway.

I used to be a bit of a shit with stunprods when I played cargo alot but I never took it outside of my department. I only had it because of greyshits breaking in for my much coveted insulated gloves.
I got so annoyed one time that I replaced the gloves in with fakes and wired the crate to stun people, and hid the real ones in a toolbox. I think I came back to see a few assistants and the clown with more burns than usual...

Leaving bait-crates in places that shitlers will see them is one of the best things about working cargo. As for stunprods, plasma-injecting cells as an antag and watching the lil' validhunters gleefully take this glorious weapon that's lying on the ground and blow themselves up with it is pretty much good feelings all round.

Anyone who feels the need to search the locker/crate you're dragging around. If I don't leave it open to show I have nothing in it I have everyone and their mother chasing me down to make sure I don't have anything. Really, what do you expect? That I'd carry a crate full of syndicate gear through a busy hallway?

People that whine when you forceborg them as a traitor, even after they've been emagged. "Waaah why did you kill me waaah I would have just helped you as a human if you had asked!" Right, sure you fucking would've, you liar. One time in particular one of my borgs just stood perfectly still and asked "What will happen if I break my laws?" Like, come the fuck on, I could've just killed you and left you there, dead. At least you're alive, and as an antag at that. I think with that particular borg I did actually just deconstruct it and put the brain in the destructive analyzer. IIRC, that same round two or three of my borgs got caught, heard the crew saying to blow the borgs, then walked to the RD's office and did not enter it but instead watched from the window saying "Please do not blow me." Like, fuck, do you just not want to play as an antag? Seriously shitty behavior. They did get blown, all of them, including the one I was standing right next to (and the blast killed me, too).

I always require paperwork as HoP. Often stamped, and in triplicate. When somebody comes prepared with all needed forms I claim that they should use black, and not blue pen or something like that. Or that they need to fill another form for some reason. If I just hand access to people randomly I don't have anything to do for the rest of the round.

At the very least I require a written, stamped, and signed permission from the station head whose department the person wants access to, one copy for my records, another for the person who asks. Copiers exist for a reason.

I'm VERY difficult to upset... but this gets me everytime. Saying 'NO' as HoP is fine, but:
Why don't you just omit the paperwork and tell everyone to fuck right off, because you won't give access one way or another unless they suck your dick and/or you are feeling generous.
Thank god department consoles were added. Can let people get access without the Head of Powertripping.
