As long as I can still peddle hallucinogenic drugs I am so on board. Also corgi puppies.

Maybe Urist should have its own wiki. Then you could change whatever you wanted and I wouldn't care.

Adding new features that I won't be able to read about on the wiki seems like it will be distressing.

Wiki doesn't list the changes anyway. Anything new AFTER the switch will be visible in Changelog (/vg/ and BS12, unlike /tg/, actually bother to update it for most of everything) or you can always use the GitHub - that way, you will know absolutely everything which is added, or what might be added if you visit the Pull Requests.

I was thinking about this for a while.

We have no point for a wiki. Also we are going with Bay over /VG/

For what reason?

The admins that are online on Steam tested both of them and the final pick was Bay.

Nien, that doesn't mean we're going with Bay over /vg/. Don't speak for me.

Anyways, I'm going to be hosting a Bay server later in the week, followed by a /vg/ server, so people can try both out and see what they prefer.. We did that right now to see which the admins preferred, and everyone preferred Bay over /vg/.

Speaking as the one who'll be dealing with the code, I personally prefer Bay as well. A lot of /vg/'s "features" don't actually fit our style, and /vg/ is much more prone to having game breaking exploits pushed through. Like the current bugs with ghosts being able to toggle the PDA server, and the teleporter. In addition, they also take a lot of stuff from goon, such as toxic farts. Yeah. I'd prefer not to have that.

The downsides about Bay is the slow move speed, and the cooldown on pulses and such, which are really easy for me to fix.

As for the cool stuff that /vg/ has, much of it is ported from /tg/ and Bay. Their unique stuff, like MoMMI's would be easy to port to Bay, without bringing over other stuff like their ridiculous goon inspired genetics. Yes, they have a farting gene.

So, while the admins are leaning towards Bay, we're still going to let people test both out, and go from there.

Bay sounds more stable with less to remove and it's easy to add.

Bay or toxin scientists riot!

Well, just from that changelog and some of the stuff I've now read about Bay...

Tg updates the changelog a lot too. Not for everything, but most stuff.

I know. That's why I said 'for most of everything'. /tg/ lists pretty much only the major stuff.

Actually that's fairly decent point - even if we want something from /vg/, we can port it, porting works both ways.

Things on BS12code, though: a) NUKE THE SPESSHUL PEOPLE LISTS. BS12 has two lists - alium whitelist and special items list. We don't need to have BS12ers to have their Masterwork *Cotton Grey Jumpsuit*s here, and I would really, really rather we didn't have Spess Furry Station.

Making custom items on our own, we miiiight someday want to have it (though I find it slightly risky, what with the possibility of cliqueishness), and aside of that it's just a matter of bothering Nien about sprites, so up to you to decide later on.

Another thing to keep in mind about BS12 - it has a peculiar balance. An average BS12 player utterly hates the perspective of dying in game, both IC and OOC, and so from one side, things may be kept on the nerf side. On the other, the rather strict adminning style (don't hit me! Not criticizing, just describing!) means they can afford to make things MORE lethal, without the risk of J. Random Fuckwad ends up killing everyone so hard, they are retroactively erased from existence.
