Zamujasa posted:A cool captain 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,  Really though I've been playing since the end of Ovarystation and I'm like 95% sure even back then that'd probably cop you a warning or ban, with possible lenience you were a long time player well established to not be poo poo, just making an exceptionally poor decision.

You can also use the bucket to fill the spray bottle, but it takes awhile as the bucket only holds 30 units of liquid. A spray bottle full of water can help you quickly leave a trail of slippery spots to infuriate people with. Space lube is even better, but you can't use it unless the laws allow you to hurt people.

Changing your standards is literally impossible, that's why we must ensure the most annoying possible things are always permissible and that we must always try to find newer lows. I mean I dunno when this happened, but I'm pretty sure they'd not be an admin for much longer if it happened today. This is a game, it's not like you get to cite precedence in the case of Joe Fartingale v. Badmin.

Man I forgot how much I love being a chill captain. Giving random people special ID's with really strange levels of access, accepting bribes and getting stuck in where help is really needed (at the bar, always at the bar, where they need help drinking booze urgently) is fun as hell.

Nalesh posted:How long is a cycle in terms of chemicals? (Like for example if it says it takes 17 cycles to knock oout) I'm pretty sure I remember reading that the Life process runs approximately once every three seconds depending on server load, it's during that process that all chemicals are processed. So 17 cycles is somewhere in the neighborhood of 51 seconds if I'm remembering right.

3 BYOND seconds per cycle, nominally, is how often the Life loop is supposed to tick. Basically it's going to be totally goofy and inconsistent. Welcome to space!

When I get Captain, I sometimes bestow the spare Captain's ID with the name and job profession changed to King of the Greyshirts (minus access to Security, AI and the HoP console) along with the Cakehat as a crown upon a random Staff Assistant. I send them forth as leader of all their kind just to see what will happen.

I'm not even kidding, its how I kill most of my targets. I air tank them and shove them in disposals if I have no better way of doing it. Also if I inject myself with werewolf blood something should happen dammit!

That's how I've been dealing with people, buckle them in if they're on top of a chair, then tank them for their time. How major is the difference between like, 5 neurotoxin and 45? Like does it lower the cycles needed at all? Nalesh fucked around with this message at 11:49 on Jun 10, 2014 |

Nalesh posted:That's how I've been dealing with people, buckle them in if they're on top of a chair, then tank them for their time. The amount of a chem never affects how long it takes to kick in (well, there's one or two special exceptions), it'll take the same amount of time no matter how much or little of the chem you inject...unless you use so little that it depletes away before it would've kicked in. Neurotoxin takes 17 cycles to KO and its depletion rate is high (1.0), so you need to inject at least 18 units to get any knockout at all; anything less will deplete away completely before it's been in the system long enough. Once they're knocked out, though, 45 neurotoxin will keep them out a lot longer (84 seconds plus lag) and do a lot more brain damage. It makes medicine a bit unintuitive, since only the touch chems do instant healing - everything else is slow-acting and takes a while to kick in no matter how much you inject, so people get frantic or impatient and shoot patients up with unnecessarily high or even dangerous doses of things like charcoal or epinephrine.

Coolguye posted:One time they arrested me for doing this to the Captain, and when I quoted fictional bylaws the Captain said "I can't argue with protocol. Release him." A Good Captain. One of my favourite Captain rounds ever came from the time I pardoned some guy for cold-cocking me because I liked his moxie, and inadvertently set in motion a hilarious chain of events which culminated in a surprise haymaker that indirectly killed everyone at once (via instant retaliatory rage-bombing) seconds before the shuttle left. I was laughing so hard I was in pain, and none of that would have happened if I hadn't been chill about some gutsy assistant punching me in the balls in plain view of everyone.

If they're on fire, I yell at them to stop drop and roll and then try and empty a burn kit instead. Any time I've tried to put them out I've beaten them to death with the medkit so I don't do that anymore. Look, engines are simpler, ok?

I have no idea how Wonkmin is parsing anything at all from that wall of gibberish  ellbent posted:Is it considered bad form to deploy a strategic "succumb" at the opportune moment if you're a microbomb'd traitor on your last legs, or is that kosher? Nah, go for it. The microbomb is expressly meant to serve as a final "gently caress you," and it's entirely legit to set it off yourself. People do it all the time, especially Syndicate operatives that want to keep their gear from falling into enemy hands.

Give me a medbay where people are sawing off butts in preference to reattaching limbs, some chucklefuck that ate a burrito wanders in and splashes the entire charcoal reserve tank on himself, the doctor that's actually trying to attach limbs is clubbing his patient in the groin with their own severed leg, the captain is so drunk he can't adequately convey what's wrong with the flaming barman he hauled in, and the crewman actually trying to control the situation looks suspicuously like they're wearing a floral shirt. e: I sort of figured out NBM's unban appeal on an instinctual level, because I kept wanting to peanut post "yes, I am interested in your cheap c1alis."

Honestly though, that NBM appeal is only slightly more incoherent than the average pile we get. Also whoever that guy was that's accusing our admins of racism/bigotry/whatever, if this actually happens you need to log it and let me know. I'm pretty sure this is a falsified claim, though, unless you're going back to the ~dark ages~ of some 3/4 years ago.

Just played my first round; spawned in as a staff assistant at the start. Someone was at my door so I went AFK for a minute, came back and I was trapped in a toilet. This actually proved to be a boon since a wizard came through that area murdering everyone and walked past the toilet I was in. Somehow after bashing enough controls I managed to find my out, and stumbled into the bar. I found a dead body and dragged it into a nearby empty room to loot it...only I had no idea how to steal the poo poo. Fast forward about 5-10 minutes of me punching and kicking the body until someone who looked like a tech priest from warhammer 40k walked in and shot me dead. Then a little bit later someone dragged my body into a corridor and drained it dry. The real point of this post; how do I loot dead bodies?

Specifically, click and drag their body onto yours. They don't even have to be dead to do this, if you want to do something crazy like strip a geneticist or uncuff a criminal or steal the captain's hat.
