Removal of the inaction clause had to be the best change made to the AI laws, no more people demanding the AI to do something then going "IF YOU DON'T I'LL DIE LAW 1 AI"

I had that happen to me a few days ago, actually. Some shitlord detective was randomly shooting passersby in the Sec bend and he just wouldn't stop crying when I obliged the crew's tracking and door blocking requests. When the captain threw him into the brig just in time to miss the escape shuttle, he started beating on the electrified bars of the cell with the N2 tank he was pacified with and demanding to be let out or he'd die. And that'd be clearly in violation of my first law.

I came up with some smug remark about suicide being the right of all sentient beings and his sentence being extended until the station is recycled by NaTra space janitors before loving off to the shuttle in a robot shell. I don't know if he was genuinely a total poo poo or just really intent to give the impression of being a total poo poo.

I think the best plan would be to take the authentication to a password system to verify those who have something awful accounts by placing a thread in the private games sub forum where only goons can see that lists the latest password. It would be the same exact thing and prevent pubs from getting access to the goon say channel Without all of the needless set up and code that the old now defunct website required. Also it will allow new players from here on the forums to join in the fun. Like myself. Yes I am biased. :v:

How about limit the jobs of people who aren't members of the SA forums? That way we can still have pubbies, but they wont be able to become the traitor or wizard or syndicate or captain or chief engineer, but they can still be an assistant or civilian.

The only jobs I could see this being good for are sec, AI, and maybe borgs. Sec and AI so that you don't get the odd shithead, overbearing sec and AI that can ruin rounds, and borgs for the fact that they can do a lot of the stuff the AI can. That is, of course, not to say that goons will not be overbearing shitheads in those positions as well, but that's really the only reason I could see pubbies not being allowed to have a specific job.

This is dumb, you are dumb. SA membership is fine with just goonsay, we don't need to drive off 50% of the playerbase just so the goony goons can be the supercops making GBS threads all over the dumb pubbies who don't deserve to have fun.

e: 50% of the playerbase is an understatement at best.

There was (is?) a SS13 server that gave donator members access to a *rape command.

So I just played my first 5 minutes on SS13 as a tourist. It was terrible, i had no idea where I was going, how to do anything, and I ended up trapped in an Emergency storage room by fire doors I had myself brought down, while someone was being slapped repeatedly in audible distance. It was amazing and I loved it.

I think my favorite round remains being Beepitron. AI was neat, I could sit back until someone told me to open a door, and was doing so without question because pshaw, chain of command. I mostly did not know where people were allowed to be. A sec officer showed up and all the doors into the bar were shut down, so I ran through maintenance tunnels with him, until we finally got him out of arrivals. It was fun.

Hopefully next time I will get a fun law to play with.

You should be able to combine a watering can + syringe + emergency oxygen tank to get something like a hypospray crossed with a syringe. Injects either an adjustable amount maybe or some huge amount (60? 120?) of whatever you want into the person you inject, but has the injection delay like a syringe so they can move away. Maybe have it inject faster based on the tank pressure? Pop off the tank and refill by pouring things into the watering can!

One commonly overlooked feature of the detective is his forensic scanner. I was able to deduce the identity of a traitorous scientist by scanning a discarded riot shotgun the HOP had found, and thwarted his plans with a timely application of Beepsky-brand justice.

Unfortunately, a mindslave had left incredibly powerful transfer bombs hidden around the station, and the scientist managed to use one to turn himself, the HOP, me and the crew quarters into space dust, rather than allowing himself to be captured.

The best part? I was wearing sunglasses instead of thermals the entire time. :c00lbert:
