I think adminbus is a standard SS13 feature. I mean, I had the sun dropped on me once and then on a medium RP, we got chased by haunted fedoras. You can have silly RP, after all.

Admin is a rank that you get and means "You have power to do whatever the FUCK you want as long as it doesn't cause massive lags or salt...Or both" But since the CM community will always find a way to salt about the most unsalty thing ever admins roll with not causing massive lags.

JK, admins are mostly loving and caring and wish to make the round fun. We don't give them much credit because we're jealous of their POWA and say it's admin abuse. Even when they abuse they put everything back together ;)

how is someone magicking indestructible walls into existence to actively aid one team and hinder another not a violation of the precious immersions and roleplays? was an "indestructible wall construction crew" ert called in?

it just goes to show that the dumb RP rules are only cited or enforced at random whim

It was done to try and give the Marines a chance and to enhance the round.

Don't forget the Aliens had a massive numbers advantage to the point where the Marines had zero chance of defeating them, the walls were to give the Marines a small shot of setting the SD.

yeah, i know steelpoint, i think thats fine and fair, but it was still blatant ooc interference, wasnt it?

if anyone else were to fill in those gaps with walls, let alone indestructible walls, it would be metagaming ban

meanwhile players are hassled and threatened with bans if they even say something "out of character", something infinitely less disruptive than placing invincible walls, no?

Yesturday they removed the food venders pre game and then dressed cargo up as a kitchen. This was clearly done to pick at all the people who complain.

So that made you angry? It was that hellish?
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

it did not make me angry as it barely changed anything. I observed a lot of complaining however, not role played well either. the thing that caught my attention was the response to the complaints. the way it was worded made it seem as if the moderator was either previously irritated with player demands or just having fun with it. my opinion on that "event" is that it slowed things down, to the point where i was seriously tempted to slack off and not do my job, overall i had a good round anyways and i avoided acting like a punk.

i meant no offence however ive developed the general stereotype in my mind that the punk movement was essentialy open rebellion expressed rather crudely. i feel my expression isnt horribly out of context. while on the topic, what grinds my gears other than dying in colonial marines is when i see people who are more concerned about the competition than the unique environment this game presents for role play. i myself dont feel im an excellent role player but i sincerely enjoy that aspect of this game. I do feel slightly salty over rather stupid circumstances that lead to an early death but its not losing or falling victim to obvious baldness that pisses me off. Maybe i feel this way due to being fairly new to the game, but i dont understand why people complain about the predominance of stun tactics or the mp's in general.

When you're trying to claim independence from the USCM but you can't because MRP and you'll be treated as a mutineer.. John Rhodes in the future didn't have any trouble claiming independence from the rest of the station as a botanist 200 years in the future!

Biggest thing that grinds my gears is Medics not treating wounded/dead Marines and just standing about like they're a standard.

Or getting bumped into while defibbing a dead Marine for no reason, only to see the Marine reach the five minute timer before the 2nd defib goes through. Makes me want to beat a baldie with a shotgun stock.

Returning a weapon to the medical armory because the alert level went down, Get arrested for holding the weapon and patients die due to lack of doctor.

Medics ignoring marines calling for medic and even pushing them out of the way as they pace around.

When bloody squad medics stop 4 tiles from nearest barricade with sentry and start treating marine there or even strip and defib them, just to be mauled by some lol-passing-by runner/hunter.
FUCKING. GET. INSIDE. BARRICADES.

I've seen so many medics dying with patients because of this stupidity.
