I played a lot of Yogstation, which was /tg/ branch, before I found UMcS, and I found the gameplay to be VERY similar, with just 30-40 more people at any given time. Lots of RP and all that fun junk. If we can attract more GOOD players, then I'm cool with it. RP and everything is pretty necessary, and I would prefer if it was kept at a place where nobody ever comes over the radio and says, "X HAS AN EMAG!" Or "Y IS A LING, CREMATE HIM!" but some sacrifices could definitely be made for a much larger playerbase. To a point.

I don't get the big deal.
No need to get all insulated superiority over this. It's a game. Let the others play.

This is a private server. If they aren't going to play by the server rules, they are really not welcome.

The locals don't play by the server rules. Not to mention I haven't seen anybody from tg break the rules yet either.
This looks like a big xenophobic overreaction.

It's been a bit lax recently probably due to admins mapping and coding instead of being on. I play by the rules regardless.

They aren't all a bad bunch, but yes in my case anyways, I get randomly maimed for no apparent reason on Goon servers.  Admins keep things in check, but I generally find on those servers when there isn't an admin random kills are more apparent.  Rarely played any /tg/ or Yogstation, but I heard they are RP based servers.

I originally thought they came just to be annoying trolls and assholes, but...

I can change the port tonight when I get home.

Thanks. I welcome this response. /tg/ still seems to be under the influence of DDOS so they are pretty much just piling on us.

Unless I'm misunderstanding this, they're just migrating from another server being DDoS'd, in which case I guess it's fine.

I was under the impression the server was being griefed, with all the pleas for admin intervention, and talk of purposefully crashing the server.  I think we should be kind enough to house their refugees until they can get their server back up.  It would have been polite for them to mention something in the thread, but I don't think its necessary to change the IP if they're playing nicely.

I agree with this. I'm on right now, and everything seems normal. It's nothing to worry about guys. I'll keep SS13 open to hear adminhelps. If there's an issue, let me know, but so far everything's fine.

[Flying Dice]

Agreed. There's no reason to react with hostility (yet).

Spoiler: Frustrated rant ahoy (click to show/hide)

On an unrelated point: if you're going to bitch about someone playing X job, or acting as Captain when there's no Captain and only one or two heads, don't. I've been HoP as much as I have lately not because I set it on high (I set it on Medium, QM on high, and several other jobs on medium/low), but because nobody ever fucking takes it, and I end up trying to fill the Captain's (missing) boots as much as I do because we almost never have a fucking Captain.

Yeah, I've been playing for less than a week. Yeah, I make stupid mistakes because I haven't memorized every factoid about the game yet. I don't want all the fucking stress of it, I want to sit back and order crates for people and stamp forms. But (and especially late-night when we have <10 people), if I don't, chances are we'll have 1 head at best, and nobody will be able to organize much of anything in an emergency because they don't have access or tools to gain access, and there are even odds that there's no AI. It's a fucking pain, and I know I'm not nearly as good as I should be to do it, but don't whine about it when you (almost assuredly more experienced and robust than I) aren't willing to do jack shit about the situation. Leadership that occasionally doesn't know what to do and has to ask questions is still better than no leadership at all, if only because you've at least got a voice saying "Shit is fucked, watch yourself" (shit relative to circumstances). And you know what? When I break into places and give myself access or hoard weapons, I don't turn around and be a selfish dick. If the station's in trouble, I go around giving out supplies and doing my best to help people resolve the problem. If there are dangerous hostiles on board, I hand out weapons to anyone I think can be trusted with them. If there's no time for that, I go ahead and try to engage on my own (because, again, there's no fucking Captain and no fucking security), even though I'm not the best at it. Some of that's RP, but some of it is just me trying to be a decent fucking person. This is one pattern that's in no way unique to SS13: Leadership is a massive pain in the ass, most people avoid it, and it falls onto anyone who's willing to make themselves a target for complaints because they care more about at least trying to keep things somewhat organized than hiding away in their own little corner bitching about how nobody is doing anything right.

If you think that someone is doing a bad job in a leadership role, don't fucking whine about it, offer to take over from them, either IC or in the next round.

Carp knock me to crit, scream for help, have coords on on suit, give general location, no fucks seems to be given about me dying.

Way too often.
When i've played AI i have had to pester the crew for a long time before anyone gets around to retrieve.
Unless i have borgs to boss around.

[Jacob/Lee]

On that day, many syndicate operatives boarded the station. On that day, one half the crew died. On that day, thirteen screenshots were taken.

[Hanslanda]

Lillian Helsbrecht: Met a Deathsquad operative in the maintenance tunnels that day. Two humans entered. One woman left.

Full SMG clip + Energy sword > Deathsquad operative

We were busy eating the enemy and blowing things up.

I'm responsible for the massive amounts of destruction to the station you see.  10 Bombs in total went off in the enemies ranks that day, I had cuban pete set on repeat.

[Kaitol]

I find it incredibly ironic that the last thing said before that crash was "Massive logicl failure imminent. All systems failing. Fatal ERROR!" from the AI.

You could have had more guns on your side, but no. Let the enemy whittle you down.

[scrdest]

Either clientside or serverside, something derped badly. I was disconnected midround, cannot reconnect.

[Cheedows]

Server is down, great

[Inscribed]

Yes, I found that amusing to. To bad the serve is down, but at least I got some good famous last words in.
