Odobenidae posted:Part of it is some sort of counter-culture movement where it is uncool to care about the game and where you have to let traitors have fun (eg. wanton murder/destruction/both). The HoS and Detective both have thermal goggles and if they do a couple of quick sweeps of the station then 9 times out of 10, they will spot a traitor doing something incriminating, and with the element of surprise it's trivially easy for them to shoot the traitor in the back and either execute or permabrig them. Most don't do that, though, because that's boring as hell and defeats the purpose of having traitors at all. If you treat SS13 as a black and white "crew vs. bad guys" thing it's just not a particularly good game. See: Trouble in Terrorist Town, a game that is essentially that and is not particularly good.

Yes, I adminhelped it to no reply and the mentors didn't really do much either. It's extremely lovely but not actually against the rules. Angry Diplomat posted:I don't know precisely what the triggering circumstances are, but from what I can see, it looks like attaching any fleshly arm that originally belonged to someone else will cause a particularly severe case of Alien Hand Syndrome. Sometimes the hand will make rude gestures or punch or slap its new owner, and occasionally it'll start to choke them out, which can kill them in short order if they're not helped. Or, sometimes, if they are helped. I had a patient die in a bizarre Evil Dead scenario where the severed arm somehow finished choking her to death from the floor. I am definitely going to try brain-swapping 2 people but then giving them back their original arms.

You should never get yelled at by admins for loving up while experimenting. Even if it involves everything everywhere being on fire. Now, if you keep going back and loving up the same way every round, sure, whatever, but otherwise it's an honest and funny mistake.

Captain Bravo posted:How about giving pods a single-use "Breaching System" that costs a king's ransom in ores, and can only be built from a hacked pod parts fabricator? You stick it in a secondary system, (Meaning you can't use it and a cargo hold at the same time) and when your pod is directly beside, and facing, a wall or set of windows you can activate it to blow them apart. Doesn't hurt humans, but knocks them back and on the ground for a couple seconds. Plays an "OH YEAH!" clip along with the explosion noise when it activates. After one use, it disappears and you have to install another one if you want to use it again.

Dr. Cogwerks posted:Device analyzer and the charge hacker both kinda suck a lot if you're not playing that job though, especially the 9-crystal hacker. I'd say don't remove either of those because they can be incredibly useful. You just have to break into the appropriate workplace(which with the charge hacker is the easiest thing ever). That said fix moonshine because if you get it when you aren't the barman it doesn't heal you. Also get rid of shotguns because one round there were 5 traitors and we all bought the crate and got a shotgun and things didn't end well for anybody.

Dr. Cogwerks posted:Because weighted tables and weighted combos kinda defeat the purpose of the surplus crate being a wildcard. To me the appeal of the crate is just getting a bunch of random poo poo and having to make it work. The biggest problem I had was that because there are like 6-7 items which are just powerful weapons getting any of them basically just means it's time to rampage. Like it doesn't really matter if you get a chainsaw, e-sword, or a shotgun; the outcome is the same. So I guess I'd take most of the rampage items out and leave in like the knife and the revolver because they're harder to work with. As for removing the job specific items, the most fun surplus crate round I had involved getting a red chainsaw and a mining charge hacker in the crate as an assistant. I, being terrible, ended up getting robusted and having my chainsaw stolen and then arrested, and after managing to break out of the brig I was left with this 9-crystal thing I needed mining access to use. So I set up an ambush outside the mining shuttle, waited for a miner to show up, got an engineer instead, decided that was good enough and spaced him and took his ID. Then I broke into the mining station and filled three miner belts with hacked charges. It turns out that wrecking the station without a spacesuit is difficult and probably a bad idea but not impossible.

Captain Bravo posted:Actually, even easier. You don't need to go mine anything, since you can just order the things that turn into the right ores, or steal them from around the station pretty quickly. Ah, but here's the thing: If you break into QM and start building shitloads of charges while Sec is currently combing the hallways for you after your spectacular escape from the brig you will probably get caught because there's 3 QMs, an AI camera and a big loving window. Instead I went to Mining. The miners were all busy off in space mining/loving around so I just build everything I needed from the fabricators and then left because Miners rarely actually spend a lot of time on the mining station and when they are on the mining station they are basically the chillest people ever as long as you stay at least 3 squares away from them at all times(probably because they know that if you're a bad guy and decide to kill them nobody will ever help).

Neddy Seagoon posted:That's no fun. First thing you should do as Captain is give the AI a 'personality' law to play with so they can have some degree of fun in the round, regardless of whatever else happens (Well unless it looks like they've got their own gimmick going, of course). Just keep the law vague enough to give the AI player some leeway in how they obey it and make sure they understand it doesn't override anything. Actually only do these if you're absolutely sure you've got an entertaining or interesting one because otherwise this is annoying as hell for the AI.

Neddy Seagoon posted:That too. I guess a good example would be something less like "Be a dick to [x]" and more like "You are now The Drunken Hobo. Slurr your words occasionally and tell stories of better times and wild parties. This law overrides nothing". Wow that's the exact opposite of correct. "Be a dick to X" gives the AI the freedom to do what it wants and also lets it have fun by being a jerk to X, and as long as it doesn't override law 1 X will be fine(and they might even think it's funny). Meanwhile, the 2nd law is a bunch of bullshit forcing the AI to speak and act a specific way, and is only funny for like the first 2 or 3 sentences before everyone just accepts that the AI will be talking strangely for the rest of the round..

Forer posted:The BAD example of how a department is necessary would be chemistry and medbay. Saying "Well if medbay started out with less things and relied on chemistry to give them more fancy heart pills or antitoxin then that's good for both of them" because chemistry isn't fun because you make heart pills. It's fun because you get to make crazy concoctions that cover the station in cheese smoke or get to be immortal because you make potions that make you invincible or turn people into icecubes or whatnot, and people play medbay because they like saving people or bringing them back from the near death and being that crazy loving doctor running into the explosion and pulling out five people. Chemistry would keep on doing it's own thing like it usually does because that's fun and keep on doin' its own thing while doctors would have to jump through hoops or start breaking into chemistry to make sure they can keep pullin' people out of explosions. Well, the situation with this now is that Chem and Medbay are in different departments and are manned by scientists and doctors respectively in theory. But in practice, chem is separated from medbay by a single table and 90% of the time if you go to chem you will find that table gone and see scientists and doctors coming and going freely to get what they need from both chemistry and medbay's stockpiles. Now, doctors will be making medicine and scientists will be experimenting with chemicals but for the most part they won't bother each other(the other 10% of the time a scientist will try something new and half of chem will explode).

Demiurge4 posted:Botany could start out with a supply of wheat and other things that the Chef needs, and reduce the chef's starting stores so he has to scoot over to botany to get more than a few burgers done. This would have the benefit of making sure that the chef and Botany at least interact at one point during the round and while the Chef is getting his stuff he can ask them if they're going to grow anything he can use. Enhance this by giving the chef something Botany wants (maybe he can make fertilizer from uneaten foods or spare vegetables). Every suggestion like this has the same flaw: What's the Chef supposed to do if the Botanists are AFK or don't care enough to help him? He's got no ingredients because you've arbitrarily given them to someone else who has to bring them to him and who likely won't because they have their own poo poo to do.

If, as a Med Doc I could do something with dead bodies other than laying them outside Robotics/Genetics and hope someone picks them up or break in myself, it seems like I could be more efficient (and busy), for example. There used to be 2 specialist jobs for research but for whatever reason Scientist and Chemist were merged so now there's only one.
