I somehow managed to find where the /vg/station server stores their chatlogs. http://ss13.nexisonline.net/logs/ Here are some fine examples of what their players say. quote:SAY: Berr Chauvin/Layire : The prostate glands in her mouth caused her to cum all over the futa argonian's penis while her steaming rear end cum sprayed everywhere  quote:[04:37:05]EMOTE: Chris Transten/S1N1337 : <B>Chris Transten</B> pulls out flaccid dick

My byond client has somehow managed to get hosed up, and it's opening the ingame menus (which are html files, apparently, apparently) including the character creation and job selection ones, in my browser instead of the game. It gives me the menu to pick one of the remaining open jobs (i.e. staff assistant), but since the menu is somehow opening in Chrome instead of byond, clicking the options has no effect, and I can't continue. I tried deleting all the files and the cache and reinstalling (with 3 different versions), but the problem stayed. It works fine on a different computer though. I guess there's some setting or program on my computer that doesn't play nice with byond? It's not a new problem; someone else apparently had a similar issue last year. What should I do?

Open the My Documents/BYOND folder where the cache is, there'll be a Skins folder. Inside that is an exadv1 folder. Delete exadv1 and reconnect to the game. edit: Oh, you deleted all the files. Well.

Adminhelp that, that's lovely as hell. Doctors can heal bad dudes if they feel like it. Nobody is actively REQUIRED to fight bad dudes, you're welcome to take bribes or be threatened into just leaving them alone. Nobody should be directly helping them kill people though, and people shouldn't break traitors/wizards/whatever out of jail or steal them from the guards unless mindslaving or really convincing arguments are at play.

As a doctor my policy is generally to assist anyone not actively attempting to kill me. Anything else and it's just, 'Yeah, keep doin' whatever you're doing, I don't care.' That said if there's obvious poo poo going down I'm sure as hell not letting anyone just walk into Medical without a good reason (if they come knocking on the doors with full health or whatever). PS I love ProDoc Health Goggles.

My new thing to do as a doctor when I get attacked by a guy constantly is to throw them on an operating table and cut their arms off. I make sure they are stable before I escort them out of the medbay, of course. I can't forget my oath!

I couldn't be bothered to do my objectives as a roboticist infiltrator, so I just cut people's arms off instead. Ended up with quite a few: I was also the last surviving infiltrator and I did my objectives, but I couldn't escape because a gang of people were chasing me all over the station:

Everybody was cheering for the miners when they delivered dozens of crates of ores to the station. Until they all turned out to contain fermids.

The Fall and Rise and Fall of the Engine So I start the last round as an engineer. I'd been experimenting with different ways to run the engine. Normally, I do it as per procedure: N2 in the cold loop, and CO2 in the hot loop. Normally when I set it up like this, I bypass the SMES because it runs circa 500KW and the SMES combined only take in 400KW, so the extra power is otherwise wasted. But today I try it with a different setup:I start a fire in the hot loop with the plasma-oxygen mix. I try to limit the pressure of the gasses in the hot loop so it doesn't explode. I also bypass the SMES as usual. This was a mistake. In a couple of minutes, the pipes have reached 10,000 Kpa, and the generator is producing between 2.3 to 3 MW at any seconds. Normally when this happens, the generator hungers and sends out a few sparks. This is limited to the engine core- stay outside and you won't get hurt. But this isn't a normal situation, now, is it? about a minute later, the AI announces that it has "Detected a power surge." I think nothing of it at the time, concentrating on keeping the engine pressure vented with my fellow engineers. But after a few minutes of whining about the power surge, the AI becomes unresponsive. Then, all hell breaks loose. The APCs around the station start shocking everything in reach, including- especially including- people. One of the wizards on station is knocked down by these lightening bolts, and is swarmed by greyshirts. In the engine core, Warning lights start going off as the Thermoelectric generator's core overheats. I attempt to reach medbay, dodging APC shocks along the way. As I grab a fire damage first aid kit, I am informed that the engine is about to blow up. Oops. It's a mess as I arrive back. One of the other engineers has already put out the fires, but the pipes are burst, the combustion chamber has been vented, and floor tiles and broken glass are everywhere. But we would not be deterred. As my fellow engineers repair the pipes, I set out to grab a plasma canister from toxins. Around me, the station is in chaos- partially my fault, but also the fault of the wizards and changelings still running Amok. As I return, The quartermaster complains that the power is failing. I discharge the last of the SMES's stored power to the grid, and get to work rebuilding the engine. A strange blue fog hangs over the engine, though. Within a few minutes, I have the engine back to around a 200Kw output: Satisfactory to restore power to the station. I would not stop at "Satisfactory," however. In an act of defiance against Robert Boyle, the harsh deity of gaseous physics, I drag another canister of oxygen into the hot loop. This time, however, I do not stop at "just a pinch" of oxygen- I dump the whole canister. In another minute, the generator is back to producing 2.4 MW. By this time, the shuttle has been called; But it makes no difference. Throughout the station, the APCs once again spring to life- too much life. No more shocks are reported, but only because the population of the station is now embroiled in a fierce battle with a changeling over the fate of the escape hallway. But the pressure is too great- in another minute, the engine once again explodes. This time, I am not lucky enough to escape the blast. As I limp away on my last legs, I take off my mask to take a breath of air. The blue fog reveals its true nature, however, as a cloud of deadly neurotoxin. I'm not even sure how that got there. Nearly blind, I just manage to stumble onto the shuttle with 9 seconds left. Then I stumbled off the shuttle- killed (very indirectly) by my own creation. Such was my folly.

The ONE TIME I play under a different name, I happen to roll traitor Captain. "Zack Mild is the only human. Secretly assist him and dissuade the suspicions of the non-humans. THIS LAW IS SUPER SECRET DON'T TELL ANYONE! Also, encourage the non-humans to party while letting them think they are still human. Shhh, it will be our party secret" The PARTY COLONY states, "Erm" You have added 'Freeform' AI Module to the backpack. The PARTY COLONY states, "We are quiet" The PARTY COLONY queries, "So, who the hell is that?" Josh Lyman says, "Hey" The PARTY COLONY queries, "Is that you?" Josh Lyman says, "OHHH FUCKKKKKKKK" The PARTY COLONY queries, "Are you Zack?" You are hit by the heavy laser! You are hit by the heavy laser!

One-human laws are a bit of a double-edged sword. Done correctly, everyone else is hosed, but if you gently caress up even a little bit then everyone is hosed including you.

I loved the one time a Wizard decided to be brazen, and uploaded a freeform law along with the onehuman law one part of which told me to announce to the crew my new orders. He was mighty surprised when I announced to the crew that the one human could not be found on the station, and as-per my orders all nonhumans were slated for immediate destruction. Unfortunately, he had broken in through the back of the upload, and fixed his mistake before I was able to kill him. But a silicon-based artificial life-form can dream, dammit...

I started as an antag for three rounds consecutively, twice as the captain, and once as syndicate. I kinda felt bad being traitor captain cause there were only around 10 players, especially being changling. That captain changling round was an interesting one, some detective and medic having a meta argument about last round. I was considering to just tase the bunch of them and throw the lot of the bastards into a crate and take them out to space and absorb them. But things started getting heavy against the detective, rest of the crew felt like taking him out. So being the hero of the people I throw him into a crate after he electric grilled himself, and load him into a pod. Took him to the diner and kitted him out with guns and told him to go back to the station in a miniputt. I was hoping he'd do a better job but got downed in sec, jeez. So I roll on back and try to tase out the one officer stripping him, turns out my gun was still on laser. Welp gently caress, bolts and lasers go back and forth in the room and eventually I got stunned. The detective managed to uncuff himself and another scuffle broke out as I lay there. I wasn't actually expecting some crew members to show up but they just got brutal and unleashed street justice onto the poor detective, sadly I couldn't do piss all and didn't want to break my cover. After spacing the detective I was just left alone in security, turns out the officer was beat to death by the detective, and only he knew I was up to something. So like nothing happened, I made my way to medical, to enter an empty genetics with the officer in the cloner. I was surprised no one even cared about the welded and bolted doors, in fact someone could have came through the hole in the wall, but all the screams just faded into empty hallways. Rest of the round was pretty slow and boring, escaping on the lubed shuttle with a top score of 30. I reckon if you had some one use mindslave like ability as changling, it'd be pretty interesting.

It could work so that when the changeling absorbs someone instead of eating them you leave them walking around as secret changeling agents with no/limited powers. Maybe limit them to one at any given time.

I thought it would be cool if the people the changeling absorbed were put into a special deadchat sort of channel and forced to spectate the changeling (who would be able to talk to them and see their chat), then the changeling could choose players to dispatch as things like the disembodied hands that show up in the 2011 The Thing prequel. They would have the job of eventually coming back and rejoining with the changeling to perhaps bring him dna from people they had taken down. I think it would be great, because you could at least try to choose somebody you think would do a good job to be your minion out of the people you've taken (and it would be something for the absorbed people to stick around for). Also I've discovered my favorite part of dismemberment-

Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb. As traitor RD, I told a minion to make bombs, when I came by later, he was putting the finishing touches on them on the floor. I took two for myself, but the scientist kept following me, asking if I had a good reason to take them. Annoyed, I set one's timer for 5 seconds and threw it at him. The guy picked it up, not realizing it was armed, and kept following me asking for the other I took. I tried to put a door between me and him, but the kid made a drat good bomb with at least a 7 tile radius, gibbing him and leaving me fatally wounded, where someone tipped off to my changeling nature found me and ground me into hamburger. Persistent kid.

The problem with this is the same fundamental problem that Revolution and Alien had, in that people would intentionally die or be converted to do the cool stuff, leading to it being incredibly difficult for those actually trying to defend the station. That being said, if the novelty of this wears off it might work, but who knows how long that might take.
