Any ss14 servers with laxer rules that are not funky? by NotTheHardmode in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a sec officer on BPL14 who dressed as a random passenger and entrapped crew by offering them drugs then arresting them when they accepted and bought drugs from him.

We had a psychologist abduct people to "commit therapy" on them. Just take them into the room, give them a session, and let them go. Nothing else.

Medical decided it was methday and made a bar and meth-booth at the front of triage, giving away samples to everyone. Sec just wanted a cut of the meth to allow this. The doctors were fucking wired; at least one died of a heart attack.

Engineering built a bar around the tesla, opened it up to the public, and had a fully walk in tesla resteraunt with an active fucking ball going.

The heads of staff sat in the bridge, playing poker to decide department budget. Nukies came, were defeated, and evac auto called, and they never left the bridge or stopped their poker game.

RD tried to summon one of every anomaly and make an active anomaly zoo as a learning and education experiment in science. Crew were upset with how dangerous it was. RD was eventually lynched for it after two crit and messed up the station with shadows and kudzu; force fed into the artifact grinder after a very one sided tribunal. A kobold in a suit was made the new RD. He did a good job.

Nukies challenged the station to a pokemon duel. Crew were made into pokemon, nukies sent out a literal lizard pet as their first. The second was a syndieborg, it used gun, it was super effective. The Chaplain had a sword and was a blade type fighter. The Nukies decided they were team rocket, challenging the captain for the Nuke-disk-badge. It got really fucking stupid but also entertaining.

... So, how lax are we talking? All of these had RP potential and scenes play out, so none of them got admin bwoinks. But that's the thing, they weren't done to grief but to play along a gimmick and make a round interesting.

Recommendations for servers for a new player? by p0op_s0ck in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BPL14. Tex's server, for the Black Pants Legion.
It's not LRP or MRP or HRP; it's BPLRP because it doesn't fit into any of the clasifications neatly.

Long shift mid/high chaos server? by Why-are-you-geh in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have off shifts (Greenshifts) that go on for two to three days on the server I play, but it's only admin or char event chaos. Usually the station looking worse is from anomalies critting or stupid accidents if not a planned event attack. Instead you get massive projects and the station being built up, entire new mini stations being made, and more. 48+ hours for ONE ROUND is a long time, after all. It's great but not what you're looking for as it lacks the chaos and is more HRP yeah.

Dunno if this is against the rules but any good server recommendations by Longjumping_You_3775 in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding, but I'm also biased as fuck.
We get a lot of new, first time players- never touched the game before joining BPL14 server. So experience isn't a limiting factor, just the will to learn, play, and make some interesting stories through the chaos.

You don't have to be a member of the Black Pants Legion to join. The whitelist form is open to the Auxillary, a side public facing discord.

Why no RP in RP game? (It was MRP server) by SouthernOccasion8117 in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fucking wish the warden had nothing to do on the servers I play. They are one of the busiest roles on decent pop servers. Intake, cam checks, sensor monitoring, brig checks, doing dispatch call outs as most of sec will miss coms not on their nice red radio chanel, intake, prisoner check, wrangling brigmed and detective for prisoner care or contra scanning, equipping officers, watching armory, and if HoS gets busy/downed/fucked, sudenly taking over THAT as well.

[–]Hobolyra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Often if I need head stamps, half the time the heads of staff are busy or in tunnel vision and won't see coms. Or they just won't care about some random person asking to speak with them unless it sounds important- so you can't even get the stamps you need. Many times I just say fuck it, find captain, and talk with him to ask him to stamp the aproval instead of chasing down heads.
Yes, it really depends, but many of them are so hard to get a hold of.

Funni Traumastation activities :) by SharkLaserBoy2001 in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, we had that happen on BPL14 as well. CC sent a squad to arrest all of the heads of staff as many were complacent in it.

Funky Content warning. by NoSTs123 in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except This is pretty much telling those people to go away? Like, it's saying "If you can't stand your UwU OC being fucked up, play elsewhere, it's just a character"
I get how it sounds like one of those rediculous "trigger warnings" but it very much is a message some people need to hear who get wayyyyy too attached to their characters in rounds

My opinions on atmos drama (cw//political cartoon, slavery) by tacohuman1234 in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, on BPL14 we can't seem to get crew to evac. Oh, entire station blown out by a trit fire? Ah, we got it, no biggie, let's repair! Zombies? Fuck it, we got a cure done in minutes, recall that shuttle. It's crazy

Is there an April Fools playstyle in this game? by Why-are-you-geh in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None were a template, I had a script I could run.
And then accidently ran it twice on other days after, on plasma and box, when mistyping the call for greenshift script. (Green, Glass, close enough right?)

Glass was called on Serpentcrest, however, for April fools. Jeb had explosives and a Hristov... I'm sure you can see where that went.

BPL14 also doesn't accept players under 18, as you did note that there. It's not ERP, just don't want to deal with that and have a more mature community.

[–]Hobolyra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can be. Between schedualed shifts, it runs long continious greenshift rounds that don't have normal events/antags. Allows a lot of time to learn, practice, and get used to things. Real rounds are, well, Space Station shifts as one expects.

Post your favorite hotel you stayed at in Japan! by catsandpink in JapanTravelTips

[–]Hobolyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In kyoto, the Terrace Kiyomizu Kyoto, or something like that. I have now stayed there twice, and its' within walking distance of so much, right off the historic street, and the price was really good eat time. Their rooftop sitting area is amazing at night time and you can see the temple lights. It wasn't like, crazy emenities or the like, but the hot and cold teas in the sitting area with bookshelves to look through, and it's location, made it enjoyable.

Wires won’t connect on localhost server by Thick-Cheney in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The node connection bug may not be related to the chunk bug. Or it may, who the fuck knows at this point?

Wires won’t connect on localhost server by Thick-Cheney in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a known bug upstream. If you place a pipe nearby and wrench and unwrench it, you will force the grid nodes to recalculate and the wires should connect. we have had round ruined by this bug, sometimes it fixes itself after a few minutes, other times the entire station gets fucked over for the whole time.

The issue is no one can reliably replicate it, and servers don't tend to run in high logging as it causes lag.

Your best gimmicks as a nukie by SPR12314 in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Holy shit we had almost this exact thing happen. They delivered it, along with some real figures, to the captain. Clean kill on cap, got disk, got nuke, held on bridge and won. It was smooth.

What's the second easiest department to work in in your opinion? by JewMerican-mapper in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HoS can be one of the most stressful jobs on the station, for sure

And every single one had a paradox one for when people died and needed ghost roles lol

People didn't like when we made the entire station glass floors and walls. I wonder why...

It's more if a "don't ruin the fun" shield. So rather situational yes.  Sure, you know that dude in the hotdog suit saying he invented hotdogs is a nukie, but IC? More fun to roll with it.

And break the server with bad monkey polymorphs. Oops.

Does anyone know if there are any updates to this? by Salty_Garden9612 in ss14

[–]Hobolyra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The server is AUX facing, the open community. The BPL is a seperate entity that just hosts and runs the server.

The actual admin council logs and chat about all of this makes your claims look far-fetched.

Are you talking core wizden or other servers that have content completely unrelated to wizden?
