Glloyd, any news on when we test this awesome new gamemode? Just to get the hype train going, since hype brings in more players.

It'll go live whenever I get home, so either Saturday or Sunday. It's 90% ready, but it's on my computer at home so I can't push it to Git until I get back. There'll also likely be some sort of event on Sunday.

I don't necessarily agree that the singlo is easier to set up, If the pipes and pumps for the supermatter engine were preconfigured at round start and filled with gas all you would have to do for the supermatter is to fill the collectors with plasmahoron, fire the emitter and set the SMES. If we want to make the engine easier to start then all we would have to do is to edit the pipe portion of the supermatter engine to be ready to go. The biggest problem that I think players run into with the supermatter engine is that it requires a basic to moderate knowledge of the atmos system, something that I notice most players find daunting to learn. I didn't manage to gain an understanding of the atmos system until about six months ago and I have been playing spessmans since gooncode was the only code.

 You want a singo? Simple! Setup the five solar arrays, haull the parts out of engineering storage, build a few bits of plating here and there, and volah, singo within the hour. Or jsut do what the aggravating people do and build one in cargo while draining power for it from the station (Wired to the solars, and wondering why its lacking power), and let it fire up without containment because !!REASONS!!

Hahahah, that reminds me, bay did something weird in their code that (likely unintentionally)made it so that the containment field cannot be maintained by the emitters. Reportedly even if you have one emitter for every containment field pillar that would still not be enough.

[miauw62]

you're not limited to one emitter per pillar.
you can put four emitters on the corners and three on the pillars in the center.

[Aseaheru]

I dont understand how, unless you can have them under the shields.

Also, five people on right now, although atleast two are just boosting numbers. We need more warm bodies!

Server being rebooted to fix some database crap borking, be back... probably once Vac says so, couple of minutes.

E: AAaaand up.

[Vactor]

Server is back up, and database is working correctly again.

Vactor, he who lurks in the walls.

It's a christmas miracle people. We managed to sacrifice the 17th chicken and the server gods have granted us a population of 25 PEOPLE GET ON NOW!

B BORG was good detective. Found out that the Librarian could somehow EMP stuff, that he was working with an assistant named Renaldo, and that he was having a secret meeting with a chef not long before they disappeared.  There was no security during a cult round, so I decided I would idly investigate. I just happened upon the secret meeting by chance.  Then, a detective comes on and we almost immedietely find a dead chef, I think the other one, was somehow exploded apart by Renaldo, who was SSD by now. As the Detective is attempting to arrest Renaldo's body with the help of the AI, the Librarian tried forceconverting an engineer, which lead to many radio announcements. Yakkety sax ensued with the EMP cultist before I finally got him. My flash ran out of charge and he escaped right into the angry detective. He stole the detective's gun and was about to execute him when I arrived with more flashes charged up to save the day. He eventually ended up dying trying to escape the permabrig window after complaining a LOT that he had done nothing to deserve to be in there. Sorry Scrdest, but it was supposed to be temporary. Until leaving, or an ACTUAL officer arrived to handle you. Given how dangerous and openly hostile you were, we could NOT risk you escaping.

Meanwhile AI lost the ability to give a fuck with anything.

I'm mostly pissed off you were playing, basically, HoS, as a MEDICAL BORG, ordering and deputizing a detective around and all.

Also, note that spamming flashes continuously is as much skirting the protection law as harmbatoning perps as secborg - it can permanently fuck one's eyesight up, though you *ARE* stopping a dangerous person - but as you have means to stop a crewmember and NOT harming them.

The chef was sacrificed, actually, by the three of us together, albeit it was a bit of a problem because the Bartender was not only a pubbie, but a first-time cult pubbie.

EDIT: Speaking of cult, AWW YISS.

I played a bit last night.  It was nice having a good crowd on the station.

That being said,  with low pops its very easy to assume multiple roles to try and make a fun round..  But once 10+ folks are playing it does kill the mood a bit when a HOS or Head takes on way too many roles just because someones not playing it currently.

with that.. I hope we can start seeing the 20+ crowds again like I remember months ago. It was nice!
