That was an excellent late night round. Objectives were ignored and a great man named Mr. Melonbake mounted an assault on the martian ship. I telescienced him and a group of a few more guys to the martian ship, and with his chemistry grenades he killed them all and looted it!  Then I wandered into a void portal I had opened before and died.

That was a fun first changeling round. Except I guess it didn't really count since it was on LLJK #2 at 7AM, and there were like 15 other people, so secrecy was too easy. Spawning as the HoP also helped...

I was the roboticist that round, Ezr Vinh, I totally borged you and made your butt into a buttbot!  I had like 20 buttbots that round. I wonder... if you regenerated a second butt? We will never know.

I am thinking I might try to set up my own personal server, just to learn all of the available jobs. I learned basic controls and how the game worked playing Miner, that may as well be without other people, I never saw anybody when I was out space exploring. To learn, playing medical doctor works well too. Plus it's not too hard to help people for real. Staple on a few limbs, apply some healing chems, get mad when the roboticist steals the Head Surgeon bot

Oh hey Namtab I was the AI! I really, really love playing AI but sometimes it is hard to satisfy everyone and not break laws / rules and stuff. I like to give traitors a page on their PDA if I catch them doing something, ask them not to kill people (if I have default laws), and let them go on their way! I almost never bolt trap someone unless security asks me to or they're a crazy murderer with a sword, or something. And even then, I'll let them go shortly after! Like a little brig sentence. Until this round (near the end) I would always out of spite bolt doors and stuff (if someone's laws didn't cover that), if they were trying to take my processor. I figure now, if they got it all covered besides stuff like that, I'll just let em take it. Sorry, IAm A. Crooke! I eventually let you take it when I decided not to be a poo poo anymore.  Not sure if IAm is a goon anyway. He died in the most unlucky possible way I've ever heard of, that round. His client froze up for a bit so he was standing still, and a wayward escape pod crashed into him. Holy poo poo, random number generator hates that guy.

Like I know it's apparantly really really spergy with it's RP ruless etc but what tends to go on there compared to Goonstation and how do rounds play out? Is it still 'Antags try and do Y as everyone does their jobs on the station' or is it something else? You might get banned if you don't roleplay SUPER SERIOUS! And if you ever do anything bad, traitor or not (like say hacking a door or pushing someone), you'll get brigged anywhere from 10 minutes to forever. But speaking of other things on other servers I wish goonstation had: the AI camera system and control system that /tg/ has. Oh my GOD it's so nice. I never knew what I was missing until last night.

ZombieApostate posted:I played a round yesterday as a borg. I picked standard to get the efficiency upgrade, then hopped in the docking station, popped my module out and asked the roboticist to throw it in the rewriter. He was very insistent that I wait outside while he "got supplies" from the storage room. Ok, so he's a traitor, I get it. I didn't want to ruin things for him this early, so I didn't say anything. When he came out of the storage room, I asked him to deal with my module again, but he told me to wait and left robotics. Real rude. You should have hinted to him that you knew, he might have payed some attention to you then. Maybe he didn't even get an emag that time too. Would you personally say a syndicate cyborg suit is worth it, or could you just reliably emag a borg and ask him to bring you to the AI upload / other places?

In reponse to the answers to my question: it seems to me that unless you get spectacularly lucky and find a competent player to either die without disconnecting in the time it takes you to find his body, or volunteer to be a borg, it's probably just better to spend the points on an emag instead or the syndicate cyborg frame? Seems to me that way. My only experience using the syndicate cyborg was me and a poor, hapless new player who I had to walk through everything I wanted him to do. My sweet reprogram the AI idea failed because he took forever trying to turn off the turrets. Kayle7 fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Nov 16, 2013 |

With all this engine talk, I'd like to mention there's a secret gas somewhere that will do something very cool to the engine. I'd say where and what, but this isn't the secrets thread! I know for sure that it does a cool thing to CO2, but I think it also stabilizes pressure if you put it in the hot loop along with some plasma and oxygen?

Montegoraon posted:That it takes so little fuel to reach such incomprehensible temperatures suggests both that people have been setting up the engine wrong up until now and that the way temperature is simulated has to be flawed in some way to allow this to happen. The waste gas should be carrying heat away as it vents into space. That being the case, the only way the temperature should be able to rise like that is from the solid parts of the chamber heating up, the floors and walls. But then the temperature would only be able to rise until the rate of energy lost through thermal radiation equaled the rate of heat energy passing from the gas to the metal in the short time the gas stayed in the chamber, which wouldn't be much. But you're forgetting one thing.  BYOND

Montegoraon posted:I believe I was the AI in that round. I had a stunned guy in my upload, who I suspected was going to give me a one human law. In runs Sherkaner, who I expected to pull the guy out. To my immense surprise, the guy was forced to drink "something" which made him explode into gibs. Then Sherkaner uploaded a one human law anyway. This process was repeated for another guy trying to reset me, which I was very grateful for because it gave me time to put out an arrest warrant for everyone on the station (except the one human, of course). It didn't take long for the cries of "Beepsky's been emagged" to start coming in. I was able to hear almost everything on the station, not just headset chatter. Then, following a suggestion which I took as an order, I made sure nobody was able to get on the shuttle. It's the first time I've seen 0 escapees in a non-wizard non-nuclear round. You were a really good AI. You made it all possible... I hope you were watching the complete carnage your beepsky enabled, up near security. Used up the last of my murderbrew on a couple stunned people, and lasered the rest.

. However, I got very lucky, and the RD had logged in to the control program earlier in the round to set a guard on his office. Someone had been threatening to murder Heisenbee. Because he didn't log out, I was able to upload a purge command to the GuardBuddies. Logging out and resetting your terminals is important folks.

That was the most friendly hugfest antagonist round ever.  I spawned as traitor captain. I subverted the AI (Mali feasance) and he became my pal, then implanted Bethany Parks, and we had wonderful murdering adventures. Probably most cooperative killing you'll ever see in this game - I managed to stun a vampire that came up to me in telescience, throw him in the chamber, and let the AI take care of him. Afterwards, Bethany clears the vampire's charred corpse out, and repeats the process for some other hapless assistants. Kayle7 fucked around with this message at 09:39 on Nov 23, 2013 |
