Also, in the /tg/ server it's apparently valid to randomly kill people.  During a rev round, a security officer just dragged me away and then I'm out of the round.  Huzzah!

To be honest, if it was a rev round, he probably just tried to beat you to deconvert you, and then just assumed you were a head rev because nothing happened and killed you. Hopefully.

You need to stay on your toes and have a healthy level of paranoia when going on public servers. I act so suspiciously on public servers because I don't even let people so much as get near me. Avoid anyone with weapons, hide in lockers when shit goes down, whatever you do, don't let anyone stand right next to you. If someone has a pen out and is in your general area, there's a significant chance that you're going to be parapenned and murdered horribly.

I know it's meta, but to be honest, your survival is paramount because it's hell out there, and being paranoid is far better than being forced to sit out a round.

I actually quite like TGStation myself. Though I find it to be sort of the upper limit for me, meta and 'valid kill'-wise.

It's funny, because on our server, when I have a parapen out, the other person USUALLY doesn't have time to react. I lure them in with something, or dash up to them while they're distracted, and shank before they can move. Such as Daniel Gallant. He started climbing into his mech... Then boom! 'Penned.

Axl Blyant, I lured in with the promise of drugs. Once he was right next to me, I penned him and dragged him into maintenance.

Also, I'm going to start storing pens in my PDA. o.o So awesome. Or, if I'm HoS, I'll put a parapen in the Permabrig, because fuck everyone else.

I still have rev rounds...  Every single thing about them is terrible to me.  Up to and including "Security can grab you and beat you to death because that's justifiable.  You're just a miner minding your own business delivering metals to Science?  Nope, now you're stuffed in a closet.  No reason, no talking, no justifying.  Just 'you've been deemed eligible for death because you didn't become a security officer this round'."

People have tried to say "Rev is fun because there's a chance for everyone to get involved."  Well, here's how I end up getting involved.  Whee?

Better Red than...

Oh tits, we should have a miner rebellion akin to Red Faction. It'd probably need to be an admin round, since you'd have to get mining heavily populated, and I don't see that happening without an overseer. We'd probably have to move a lot of job stuff into the various outposts in mining, divert most of the crew to sec or mining, treat a non-Sec non-miner as a civilian non-combatant unless they take up a side, and have an admin spawn a few stockpiles of fun things for the miners to come across and prepare themselves with. And if sec starts eating it, have the admin spawn in progressively better equipment for them.

I wanna make that haaapeeeennnnnn

If I were ever a miner rev head, I would call my part of the revolution the Red Faction. I like your idea more, though.

Somebody should design a pirate ship with all the pirate-y parts and then we should have a round like nuke, but the pirates have to make the heads walk the plank and loot as much as possible.

[ThtblovesDF]

tg is a bit of a circle jerk, with some good people inbetween the jerks, just check adminwho every now and then, then you know if its "actual play" or "robust-griefers" day.

[Jacob/Lee]

You know it's a slow game when 6 people start and they do nothing but talk in the medbay most of the round.

Been suggested before. BUT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

Also, we already have laser cutlasses and pirate spacesuits, so...

And the bar.

I would be up to design a pirate ship, I think. Biggest challenge will be making it look pirate-y and patched togheter from various stuffs. For example, the teleporter room would just be one of the teleporters that's floating out in space attached to the ship and with a few walls removed.

Also, Girlinhat, you made the round awesome yesterday. You should just have, you know, changed your hairstyle. Right before I had to go I noticed who you were just by your hair. Walk up to a mirror (dorms toilets have some mirrors) to change your hairstyle. That was a very hectic and fun round. It's hard to express in words how much the security borg helped. You can thank Stef for the fact that everything didn't completely go to shit. I could hardly have had a better borg that round. I was constantly telling him to go somewhere and arrest someone. Nobody gave a fuck, nobody tried to Law-2 their way out of arrest.

E: Also, emags don't work on ID computers anymore, apparantly. I tried it in sandbox, and they just refuse to work. Is this a glitch?

I don't think they ever did, neither /tg/ nor BS12 wikis mention the ID computers as Emaggable in the Emag description.

However, you can use Agent ID to copy HoP/Cap access and use it then, but by then, what's the point?

Being a slime is awesome. Access to everywhere that isn't on an isolated ventilation loop. And you can even finagle your way into most of those. And you kill people by glomping them, which is adorable. Plus the only thing readily available to kill you is fire extinguishers. And space. Both of which are frighteningly available.

Plus people seem to have no qualms killing them.

How often have you seen people try to brig a slime?

I brigged an Alien before. It was sandbox though....

I very much remember emagging one. It even produced a second cap's spare ID.

Also, first time as QM. I felt more powerfull than I did as HoP.
