Mind you, doing so leaves you vulnerable to the almighty ahelp. I don't think I'd ban someone over wiring a half a dozen engines directly to the grid and someone dying over it... But I might say some mean things and initiate disciplinary measures. I'm not saying it's not allowed, but it does seem kinda meta. Why would a REAL engineer wire fifty trillion volts to every broken door, electrified grille, and loose wire end that may need clipping? They wouldn't because that's INSANELY dangerous for THEM.

Just my take on it.

Because they're a traitor and were hired by an opposing megacorp to sabotage NanoTrasen?

Except it's not, since, you know, gloves. And the more power the better obviously, fast charging and so on. If someone dies to it it's their chucklefuck fault since they hack and break things.

[AH]

If your excuse is 'fast charging' then you have no excuse five minutes after the engine's set up.

I say just give fair warning by babbling insanity over the communications about Tesla dreams. If I'm going to do something that might be deadly for everyone involved, I may as well play the insanity card while doing it. O.o

[flame99]

You're totally free to do that, but fyi the insanity defense is inadmissible in admuncourt

[birdy51]

It's more as a warning or a chance for other players to react to, or at least try to counteract the plans of the antagonist. I consider it fairplay when the other players know what might be going on.

Some people also set up both at the same time (for some reason? They also tend to be the people who insist on always using phoron as coolant for the SM so I 'unno.) so having the singularity area shifted to the right a few tiles or the supermatter area shifted left a few tiles could help a bit.

It just makes me want to set up both engines at full effiency and wire solars, throw some upgraded generators from science on top of that...
... and wire this shit straight to the grid. Electrified grilles would proably insta-husk at this level of burn damage. Good luck hacking doors as gloveless greyshirt now.

Last time I checked, Bay changed it so that wires and doors, no matter how much power, can no longer instakill.   As well as people never being able to get more then... I think it was 40 brute from shards of glass.  But they might have reverted these since I tested.

Another proof that baycode is worse.

Last I checked the code (probably like 2 years ago hahaha ;_;) the zap would only damage one body part.  Which I think meant that it could crit if you used your torso (by bump-opening?  I think?) but if you used an arm you'd only lose all your health on that arm (like 40-60).  Not enough damage to crit, since it didn't spill.

[Kot]

I remember that at one point in /tg/code it was possible to instahusk people. That was many years ago though, proably even more than 2.

That's when you start trying to find ways to tear down walls or use space to navigate. ^.^

SHOCKED DOORS BURN OFF LIMBS

This happened on Ace and I's wizard wars round, to me. I was Richard the Wicked, a GIGANTIC DICKHEAD of a wizard. I had Ethereal Jaunt, Staff of Change, Curse of the Horseman, and EMP. Ethereal was doubled. I went into the brig and was lecturing the HoS about leaving their locker open when the HoP came after me. I jaunt'd to the next hallway over and EMP'd him. Then I ran north and hit those security doors, with my hand (I had hands targeted for some reason.) and it fucking ashed it right off. I went into near-crit pain and tele'd into a hiding spot, where I waited and put gauze and ointment on. Then I continued dominating another wizard and like eight crewmembers with the most annoying tactics ever. >.>

It helps when you never NEED to switch hands, and also I stole the Captain's ID with a well timed pair of Jaunts and a EMP, right from under the Captain (Who died of EMP), the other Wizard, the HoS, and the HoP. By the end of the round, ninety percent of the crew was horse-faced, with only shitty shotguns to protect them. The hand being singed off was the only real injury I sustained. I did get bean-bagged in the chest at one point, but I escaped.
