"Hey guys, I was spaced due to lag, and my body is now at X" - This should be totally fine, lag isn't a gameplay element.
"I was killed by carp! Check the suit sensors to find me" - I don't think this is really OK, but it's unlikely to really mess up the round.
"Holy shit! That's crazy! Stay away from arrivals" - This was when I was murdering the captain in a bomb crater that used to be tool storage.  While nobody mentioned me or the captain, this still totally gave away that something was happening, and even gave a nearby location. Really not ok.
"The CE killed me in the armory!" - This should be obvious.  OOC doesn't get any more IC than that.

In my opinion, only the first should be ok.
I really wouldn't mind that much if people want to say the second is ok.  It's unlikely to mess up the round, and that might be worthwhile to keep people in the game.
The third one seems like the current gray area, whereas I think it should be totally not allowed at all.
The last one is blatant... it shouldn't have to be said that that's not allowed...

I basically agree with this.

Why is noone on the servers recently...

[rabidgam3r]

JOIN GUYS! Please? PLEEASSSEEEE? I beg of you, JOIN!

[Donuts]

Noone on either server. Damn it, America!

Could somebody code in a function that resets the gamemode to secret when the game fails to start due to lack of players 3 times?

[miauw62]

We should ban all wizard items from sandbox rounds. It's just not fun to get murdered and hoseified by a wizard for no reason at all, and then ambushed while you were typing.

[miauw62]

Yeah, but I was fucking typing.

[Donuts]

Gah. People can't know you're typing just by playing on the same server as you. That's all.

Vactor, you should really get around to setting up the database so we can read porn in the illicit wing. That said, the illicit wing should probably have a 'puter for printing books and a bookcase.

Find me some decent documentation of how to set it up.  I've poked around a bit with it, but I haven't figured it out yet.

This is reasonably complete: http://wiki.nanotrasen.com/index.php?title=Downloading_the_source_code#Setting_up_the_database

I had some issues getting it to work with BYOND's Linux client on a 64-bit system, though.  It should be fine if you're running a 32-bit Linux or a Windows host.

Bwahahaha. Found this in disposals on my hunt for the Great Disposal Line.

Penned by Spaghetti7.
Chapter 1: One lovely summers day, Greatorder was looking for the Alien on the spawn menu. He sucked at it. He couldn't find it at all, and was totally stressing out about it all. Miauw, in the meantime, got all smug since he knew where it was. He also knew all about all the things, and about the xeno suit. Everything. In the library, Spaghetti7 realised that he really should get something better to do than document all of the going on of the three man station.

We need to get the database set up.

I did call the book "Leave me" for a reason.

So apparently my playstyle is linglike. Stunning people, dragging them to maintenance, then killing them with whatever is on hand. The meta was pretty annoying despite having no effect. I ended up losing though, so whatever; it was pretty fun killing the HoS, the Captain, and the Warden.

[miauw62]

I want to apologize for misreading the admin's messages. No sarcasm intended.

E: Also, what is up with the ghost images of people that sometimes appear to beat you to death? I really don't get what they do or are.

Hallucinations. High dosages of Mindbreaker make things even more Fun, with corpse-men showing up, "I SSSEEEEE YOU" audio playing, seeing C4, plasma or fires in random places...
