kalstrams posted:Do you guys use a Mumble or something along those lines, that could be used to walk a newbie (me) through a round or two, to get the general idea on how the things are done in this game, or should I invest my time into reading the wiki/guides/something ? Hey I would actually be down for this - I can just turn admin messages off and observe you so I don't get fed info on other players, and run you through some basics via skype or whatever. My skype is popecrunch, I'm usually available for this from noon-8pm EST (i live in alaska) with little warning, or we can set something up and I can make time for it. Turning off admin messages would ensure that I don't see other stuff that folks might worry I'd pass along. I wouldn't anyway, but I want to avoid even the appearance of shittiness.

Also regarding sec - it can be fun if you're at all creative with it. I spent a few rounds here and there seated at the publically-accessible desk in the Sec annex, and announced that I would be happy to collect fines for crimes people planned in the future. I always, always, always wound up richer than Croesus, and the parade of people paying for elaborately planned future crime (I made them tell me what they were paying for) was always hilarious. Hell, even the few that said they were paying for assaulting a security officer then immediately pitched a flashbang in my face were kind of funny. As with any role on the station, you get out what you put in. What's more entertaining as a scientist hanging out in Chemistry - making yet another horrible explosion of black powder or FOOF or whatever, or making and selling drugs (that are almost assuredly contaminated with anything from polonium to VHFCS)? Sidebar: I will never, ever, ever yell at a chemist for selling things that are clearly marked or advertised as illegal drugs that are laced with something horrid. Caveat emptor

Neddy Seagoon posted:You could try getting some crew together for a telescience expedition. That can generally go pretty well roleplaying-wise, and it's guaranteed that you'll get at least some volunteers just from saying "telescience expedition" over the radio in most rounds. Especially once your team starts dying and the rest have free license to *scream like madmen and cower in lockers while you're desperately trying to beat an ice spider to death with your shoes before it can lay eggs in you. I'm lobbying a coder or two for a Fun New Thing that will not only make telescience expeditions more eerie and interesting, but also work really well from a roleplaying standpoint. Cross your fingers!

You're not an idiot! It's obtuse as hell. Basically when you INSTALL BYOND, you wind up with a little program called byond.exe. Run that. It'll have you log in. The first thing you should do is File -> Preferences -> Pager Type: None. Otherwise you'll get about 14 thousand invites to lovely Naruto RP games, and nobody wants that. Once you've logged into the pager app dealie, you should be able to connect to the goon servers no problem. From there, Something Happens which authenticates you as a goon, I don't think it involves the BYOND pager at all, but something the server does. I don't really know for sure.

PROTIP: As long as your internals air source is an oxygen tank (the small emergency tank OR a jetpack OR one of the bigger tanks drained and refilled with pure oxygen), you can dial its output down to about 17 and milk it for a really long time. This doesn't work with 'air mix' tanks, those need to stay at about 100.

When I scream and holler and delete the lights in Chemistry and alter one of the chemical machines to only output blood and vomit, it's not because someone's using a recipe list. That just means it's time to punish Chemistry for existing.

I couldn't figure out how you goatfuckers STILL managed to be terrorists with potato chips and water. YOU FOUND A WAY. I had two coders on IRC combing through reactions trying to figure out exactly how you motherless fucks were managing to make potato chips and water into explosives, and they had no loving idea. It shouldn't have been possible. It couldn't have been possible. I fear for the safety of the world if the people who managed to find a way to do murders with mother loving potato chips and goddamned water ever get recruited by a real world terrorist organization. The headlines the next day will read something like WE'RE ALL hosed: SOME NERD KILLS 3/4 OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION WITH A USED BANDAID AND THE SQUEAKER FROM A DOG TOY. THIS SECURITY PHOTO SHOWS THE SUSPECT PURCHASING A STICK OF GUM. DOES HE WANT FRESH BREATH, OR IS HE FINISHING THE JOB? OUR ONLY CONSOLATION IS THAT WE WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE IT COMING. FILM AT 11 IF WE'RE LUCKY. OR UNLUCKY. gently caress IT. WHATEVER. -(AP) edit to add: I would like to thank the Maker's Mark Distillery for providing me with the liquid courage to have made it through that terrible time

Artificer posted:What happens when you suspect an admin of abuse, anyways? You can't really prove it, especially if he was the only admin online at the time. Like Cheeto said, report it on the forums. Everything is logged, and the coders and other admins with file access are very happy to pull logs and find out what went down and handle it. Sometimes this means Getting Yelled At, sometimes it means getting demoted, sometimes it means getting banned entirely.

Unhappy Meal posted:I got yelled at so so much when all I did for a round as security was sit at the office window, take complaints, and hand back tickets. On the other hand, sitting at the office window, taking bribes (and advertising this fact over the radio), and telling AI/security to let the bribe givers get away with whatever they want always, always leads to hilarity. It's even better if the rest of the security staff is playing along, but it's still funny if they're not.

Motherfucker posted:Banned for spamming as a cluwne. The problem is that when fun stuff crosses the line into 'fun stuff that makes the round really, really, REALLY unfun for everyone else' - like cluwnespamming the radio, thus making the chat panel useless for everyone, then that's something we have to react to. I'm all about being an enterprising, sadistic, and creative rear end in a top hat, but you have to balance that against not making the game unplayable for everyone who isn't you. When you get back from your tempban, try getting a bunch of cluwnes together and wander from department to department doing a cluwne wandering barbershop quartet gimmick - doesn't spam the radio, and has the benefit of getting to see people wanting to kill themselves to escape you in person. Coordination on this would be tricky, but you could probably accomplish it with paper and pen or something.

I have wanted farts to be a gas for years. I want to be able to fill tanks with farts, hook them up with a transfer valve, and throw the fart bomb into a crowded area. When it triggers, I want it to make a loud fart noise and just fall apart, maybe with a message like 'The device farts incredibly loudly and then falls apart. Holy poo poo was a dumb loving idea that was.' That and the ability to connect a remote signaler to a bike horn for remote honks.

Nakar posted:I'd like to see signalers and radios and stuff overhauled in general. Increase the number of functions, decrease the number of objects. I don't see why a signaler can't have a timer function built into it, for example. Hacking the signaler's wiring and attaching other objects could allow for various other stuff like proximity triggers (which, by the way, seem to just not work at all as people can walk right up to a proximity bomb and disarm it; that should be fixed), or PDA triggers (send a message to a PDA with the signaler attached, it goes off). Also they need to be made more workable with doors; last I checked they don't bypass ID checks and it's difficult to combo signalers in a way that lets doors be opened via remote, which is a pretty cool feature. Door wiring in general still needs more feedback and stuff. I have been asking for YEARS for the ability to connect a remote signaler to a clown horn. I want to be able to honk remotely.

Daeren posted:More accurately, they were demoted a few ranks and given the mother of all verbal rear end-whuppings. But yeah, I don't think any of us ever read erotic fanfiction over the radio, and if any did, they probably ate a ban for it. And if not, well, Even more accurately, they were de-adminned entirely, and didn't get their privileges back until they had convinced the Guy In Charge that they understood that they did a Bad Thing, why it was bad, and convinced the Guy In Charge that this was an error that would not be repeated. Strikingly similar to the ban appeals process!

Yeah I have a reputation for being The Mean One, and when someone I'm screaming at reveals that they just didn't know a thing, I hit the brakes right there and I just make sure they know why what they did was wrong. If they sound like they are actually listening, I often spawn them a cookie or something. We are all pretty chill! Please don't be afraid of admin help. Sometimes there's cookies!
