Nerissa Logue: It seems the designers made a little mistake with the amount of fuel. However, the walls should hold just fine. They are designed to take a lot more than that.

I've been hosting for quite a while now and it seems the crashes are gone. There is also a lot of people playing on the server and I'm not sure I'm happy with it.

Yeah, there have been alot of people.
It has been set to public mode though, so it appears on the BYOND list.

EDIT: We have more people on at the moment then the goons

Yeah, to be honest that was a bit hard to deal with... so many people just being. Well, daft really. It got a bit too much for you to deal with as a HoS much less an admin! Though if everyone was RPing properly and not just randomly walling off the corridors or killing people, it wouldn't have been bad at all.

Yeah, the game is better with fewer numbers becuase you can RP more. And if people arn't RPing you can take a more direct approach

We probebly have alot of goon players at the moment

In future, we should probebly just have the server advertised within this topic

And there she goes

Just start it up again later, but set it to private.
Should help stem the tide of idots

Good work on fixing the crash

The reason I like hosting public is that I got to bay12 through a public SS13 server. But all this mayhem.. Too much for a single person.

Sorry I ducked out, BYOND did some funky stuff with messing up all the icons (screen was mostly blank but for a few of the interface icons after a restart of the game) so I took the opportunity to get some work done heh. SS13 has a habit of sucking you in if you're not careful.

I agree with keeping it public, on some points, it's a good way of introducing people to Bay12 if they've never seen/heard of it before, but at the same time it does open the doors for all the chaos to come in. And given the fact our code is so much better in terms of optimisation and lag-free-ness it will tend to drag people over from the other servers.

Perhaps we could use a public server when the B12 population is low, to pump up the numbers to a serviceable level, then when there are enough B12 players on that it's getting quite full discretely rehost it as a private server. That way new players still get a chance to see the server and enjoy playing with us, and some may follow back to B12 itself, but when there are enough of us on that we can have some serious games then it wont be ruined by random idiots who just want to argue because their random idiot character who threatened all the HoS and said they had planted bombs gets tortured and eventually gagged when all they do is spew nonsensical gibberish and maniacle laughter o.O

Just teleport griefers into space. Banning is annoying and slow, a quick rightclick, send to space or syndicate station is enough. Actually, syndicate station is really fun, since they can't do crap there but don't die immediately.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

Thats not the issue though.
Banning is easy enough, but you don't want to get it wrong
With 30+ people on the station its impossible to keep up
Most people report that they have been greifed afterwards when its too late for an admin to see what is happening

I'm all for the server to come back up for a bit as a private server.

spacing people is a bit harsh, isn't it?  We want to be known as the civil server, but if we start messing with people like that (and you know not everyone that's done to will be a griefer) we'll kill our reputation.

Make it private, or make it public and get more admins.
