Spin 2 Win No for real though, there should be a medal for crashing the server, because once they've played long enough, most people figure out a new way.

No, they target wizards perfectly fine. (Unless the wizard teleported into a wall.)

Encountered uqibite shovel + RIG suit twice today. Got the shovel away both times, but only after the guy in question had killed most of the station and put me in crit with missing limbs. It's kinda overpowered. Protip: Don't try to put the thing in a backpack, it explodes instead. Throwing it also makes it explode. Anybody know how the RIG suit compares to bohrum armor?

Clockwork Cupcake posted:Cool I really love stories about idiots getting banned and going off to bug other servers with poo poo that'd get them banned from goon (again) Honestly, if a crew member started reading horrible fic you should just be able to kill them/knock them out and steal their headset. A (perma) ban is pretty dumb for something that minor. Its fic, you've been on the internet, most people reading awful fic know its awful and are doing it to get a reaction, which is usually hilarious. So react and beat in their head until their voicebox doesn't work anymore. I'm sure they'll laugh with you.

I have personally witnessed someone reading out popular and best selling erotic fanfiction 'Woody's got wood' while the entire station descended into a man-hunt / blood frenzy to find and kill the perpetrator. Though I have no doubt Clockwork would ban for that because he's a massive bitch.

Chances are if the majority of players staffed in a station are pissed off at and highly irritated with people reading ERP over the radio, the admins will be too. Who knew?

If I was an admin I'd mos def punish someone for spamming inappropriate adult poo poo because that's creepy, lovely, and expressly against the rules, all at the same time! I guess that makes me a massive bitch. For a player that was normally pretty okay I would think a moderately severe but non-permanent "never do that again you loving twit" punishment would be in order if they responded well and were apologetic. For a Motherfucker though yeah I would completely sympathize with a decision to ban If you're gonna do the dumb adult fiction thing, at least go ironically meta-classy and use the James Joyce fart letters. You might still get yelled at and banned for being a moron rear end in a top hat but at least a few people will get a hearty laugh out of it. Or better yet, find something non-bannable to torture the crew with, like the lyrics to Call Me Maybe or somesuch. I know that would drive me to lunacy after a while.

I gave an AI a law that included a couple of prominent Douglas Adams quotes (from Hitchhiker's Guide, not like, Dirk Gently or something) and the AI just had no idea what the hell I was referencing and attempted to play the law as straight as possible instead of being a whimsically chirpy cheerful elevator AI. I was so crushed that I drank myself half to death (and then crushed myself all the way to death, in the crusher)

Better idea, since security has everyone's DNA on file, using the pinpointer in hand gives a menu in which you can enter it, and it will now point at that person. With a mode still for pointing at the disk. Or maybe a 1 crystal traitor item that will point at anyone on the station you choose, but looks like a regular pinpointer?

Good for finding hiding targets, or for those who are lost in wierd places, but can be foiled by taking off your ID. Hell, you could place your ID along with a proxy sensor trap into, say, a locker and call for someone to come find you. The poor sap would certainly be in for a surprise.

There's a voice clip on the server that used to get played sometimes of someone reading out erotic power ranger fanfiction so it'd be a bit hypocritical to ban someone for trying to annoy people by reading out bad fanfiction. Also one time I was locked in a crate and spent 40 minutes extolling the virtues of the crate over the radio until someone cracked it open, screamed "SHUT UP" and lasered me 8 times.

I was the AI that round and one of the traitors renamed me 'supercop nerd' about halfway through, which was totally justified since I was probably being a huge pain in the rear end, but I'm not going to act like it didn't make me feel a little lovely. I love AI, it's super fun sometimes, but making a traitors's job harder is something I'm never really sure if I'm taking too far. I mean, there's this nebulous area between "ignore murder" and "BOLT AND ELECTRIFY EVERYTHING," and somewhere in there is being a good AI. It's like, I want to do my job, but I'm sure as poo poo not going to do stuff like permanently bolt them into a walled room or turn the turrets to lethal. Hell, most of the time I don't say a drat word when someone enters the upload; I'm hoping for a cool law. I guess what I'm asking is if there's a middle ground between letting antagonists run amok and being a fun ruiner?

I usually just ignored traitors unless they were being extremely overt or some nerd gave me a law forcing me to play supercop. About the most I'd do was make vague comments about what traitors were doing, like paging a janitor to clean up the mess left behind by cloaked crushers the mechanics set up.

I usually go easy on traitors, at least in proportion to how stealthy they're trying to be. If they're spawning their items or killing someone in a dark maintenance corridor, I'll usually ignore it and maybe broadcast the location of the corpse a couple minutes later. If someone's being violent in the halls or a department, or doing something really obvious like walling off a hall or dragging a plasma canister to medbay, I might give a vague report of the situation over the radio but not give any names. If someone's going full-on murderous rampage, though, I'll announce their name and location and loadout and send the securitrons after them. Of course, if someone orders me to track the antag and report their location, Law 2 applies and I have no choice but to do so.

Yeah, sometimes vague comments is the best way to go to hint at a traitor without ruining the day for them. Don't want to be lovely and start shouting the antagonist's name 5 minutes in if you see them getting objects from their PDA. Let them have their fun too.

If someone's going full-on murderous rampage, though, I'll announce their name and location and loadout and send the securitrons after them. Unless they're rampaging, I just send them a PDA message to the tune of "While it is not immediately obvious, blunt force trauma(OR INSERT TRAITORING/TRAITOR ITEM TYPE HERE) detracts from the safe and welcoming environment that Nanotrasen cultivates in all of its facilities. Have a nice day!" Or if I've got a law, something related to that. I once had a law telling me to get the crew to wear hats and spent the entire round touting the traitor and other hat wearers as exemplars of crew safety and berating traitor victims for their gross disregard for protective headgear regulations. My PDA message to the traitor was a nice advisory that he should put on a helmet when working in toxins (incinerating his fellow scientist) or he might get hurt. I'm definitely of the "ignore murder" school of thought (or vaguely mention it in passing afterwards, like asking people to go collect the body) as long as it's funny. As the AI, my goal is to dick around, grease the wheels on the station so things actually function without people hacking everything, and try to enable everyone's fun. A round with sneaky/inventive traitors is fun, so I ain't gonna gently caress with them unless they give me a reason to, or I get yelled at to. (And then I'll only do as good a job as I feel like/can get away with with my current laws.) Felime fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Jun 5, 2014 |

Here's my little personal rule for AI. If I see a traitor, I ignore him until the 30m mark. By then, he has had every chance to come and subvert me or kill me, then I start messing with him. That's a pretty good rule I think
