I'm curious about some of the more administrative positions, so if you can grab one of those or the AI for a future round that might be fun to watch. Admin isn't a chosen job, that's actually reserved for people who are assigned as such outside of the game. AI is a position you can take though.

Play Head of Security. Spend every moment calling random security officers into your office, calling them "loose cannons," telling them they're off the case, and if they protest demanding that they return their badge and gun.

I'm terrible at mathematics IRL so I'd probably be awful at telescience in-game (oh god, I'm still learning chemistry!) but I'd love to see a game played as a teleport scientist and all the horrible things that can go wrong. What I mean is, I want to see a surprise recreation of Half-Life or DooM, preferably the latter.

This LP got me to give the game another go for the first time in a long while. I like a lot of the new things that have been added since my last play. My first round was as a staff assistant who popped in as the round was ending, so I hopped into an escape pod and met what I assume is the usual fate for escape pods (horrible explosive death). Second round I played as a Janitor and managed to not lose my bucket the whole round, probably because I wasn't wetting the floor everywhere for no real reason. It was a changling round and I think I kind of found the changling's secret murder lair... and was probably being watched by said changling who wandered back in while I was cleaning up all the blood. He just silently watched me as I made it look like nothing had ever happened in there and left. Didn't see any other signs of a changling until the Shambling Abomination found me after the round had already ended.

I am so bad at chemistry in game. I think the problem is exactly what the wiki says: I'm overthinking it. For the record, I'm glad we live in a universe where tossing hydrogen (in a beaker?), oxygen, and sulfur together in one beaker doesn't actually magically make sulfuric acid. edit: Phlogiston foam is not as effective a murder tool as I expected.

God, last time I regularly used BYOND, I was into those awful DBZ MMORPGs that were huge there. I want to get into this game but I can barely tell what's going on. It's like looking at Dwarf Fortress but the lag makes it even less clear what you're doing.

Clockwork Cupcake posted:For instance, the admins occasionally like to do a gimmick round type where instead of the usual randomly generated traitors, they manually assign more interesting goals to traitors who don't get the usual gear to work with. Some objectives I can think of from rounds like this: "Ruin as much as you can while pretending to be would-be-helpful and incompetent", "you're a disgruntled miner - seek revenge", "become a literal arms dealer", "punch EVERYONE", "set up elaborate crime scenes to 'investigate'"... that last one involves the incredible story of the gruesome and wholly fictional Clown Killer, which I know someone wrote up but I can't find it now.

Since the OP is still looking for names/gimmicks: When you get around to chief engineer, the usual sort of gimmick would be Scotty, or perhaps Geordi. But no, those people are competent engineers and we all know that just isn't right. O'Brien was a COO rather than a chief engineer, but he's still a cut above what you'd expect here. Even B'Elanna Torres, who spent more time whining about being half-Klingon than actually doing any engineering, is too good for this station. No, you need to be Charles "Trip" Tucker III, chief engineer of the Enterprise NX-01, also known as "the one that actually managed to get cancelled". You may, of course, use whatever variation on that name you consider appropriate. Your job is to have a fake, lovely southern accent and make sure the engine mostly works, but sometimes fails so you can heroically repair it. Keeping it functioning just enough to have low power is also acceptable. At no point should you configure the solar arrays. You shouldn't stop the AI from doing so, but express confusion if it brings them up. Whenever possible, make up lovely stories from your past to explain current events, justify your actions, or just fill time while you wait to be murdered by a commando team. (Feel free to have some ready in advance.) You should also wallow in xenophobia, but in this universe that is completely justified, so it's unlikely anyone will notice.

I'm thinking of starting in on this game, but it just seems so intimidating I don't even know where to begin. I've thought of a (probably dumb) gimmick for you though. As a traitor: Convince the crew/AI that it's someone's birthday. Have them throw a surprise party and invite everyone. Then blow up the party/poison the cake/whatever.

For a traitor run, I like the idea of being as friendly and helpful as possible, saving peoples' lives at every opportunity, preventing disaster on the station multiple times, getting everyone to trust you and like you, and when you have become the single most trusted person on the station, and have convinced people that following your advice is the only way to survive the round, get them all together in one place and bomb and/or gas them.

Great videos Razage, and thank you for both tanking my GPA and showing me this wonderful game.

This was a really interesting round...from my perspective. I'll go into some detail about why it wasn't that great for anybody else. When Razage was in sec and the captain commented on his mustache, he was actually talking about the fake mustache he was wearing, a traitor item. This is why I was all apprehensive. As he left, I was in the middle of commenting to him that as long as he didn't make me care about the mustache, I wouldn't do anything...but then he stuck me with a mind-slave implant, a traitor item that makes one person into your minion for a rather long period of time. He proceeded to lead me on a giant rampage across the station with his c-saber, something I grudgingly assisted with. While I am not exactly shy about going on murder fiestas as a traitor or mindslave, this particular captain was being pretty bad all night, reaching its peak with him changing the AI's name to "HOS IS A human being" the round prior - leading me to declare THE CAPTAIN IS BAD over VOX and another admin allowing the AI to laser him to death. So, this rampage of his led to a mass depopulation of the station, which led to the uncommonly quiet radio and general lack of shenanigans. He even killed both other traitors, including Zhou, the guy who actually took me up on my shady bribes scheme. A traitor who kills his fellow traitors instead of teaming up with them is A Shameful Traitor in my opinion. Side note: the keen-eyed among you may have also noticed a scientist talking about her flammable foams and sprays, and then noticed that she wasn't actually a traitor. She was just a moron chemist testing random sprays everywhere on the station, and these sprays included welding fuel and cooking oil. The chemicals being tracked on floors all over the stations combined with giant fireballs like the ones ignited by Razage's cake hat led to crippling lag. We yelled at her for that one About an hour in, I got caught on video with the captain in Medbay. He was mid-rampage and I was following behind, but I took the time to salute Father Grigori's merciless faith-healing beatings. Shortly after that, I got murdered by the captain for warning him that my mind-slave implant was wearing off, a courtesy rarely given despite this being usable to extend the mind-slave implant's length. Inexplicably, while he murdered me in genetics, he didn't use the incredibly easy way of disposing bodies located inside. While Razage slept off the flu, half a screen away my naked body got found in genetics by the janitor, who was cleaning up after the captain's rampage, and he cloned me. At around 1:11:00, that really loud synth-y noise as Razage left medbay was the sound of the captain activating his c-saber, but somehow he didn't see Razage in the darkness, so he got stupidly lucky and escaped un-stabbed. I proceeded to go on a quest for bloody vengeance, using a stolen e-mag from one of the dead traitors still hidden in my backpack to loot the armory and the Head of Security's office for a laser. Just as Razage finished setting the pump pressures on the engine, I found Dan in the escape wing, stunned him, and lasered him to death. This led to my comment in the end-round OOC: if you're a dick to your mindslaves, you had better make good and god-damned sure they're not going to becoming back, or else they're probably going to murder you. You should probably just not be a dick to your mindslaves. Lastly, you didn't end the video by farting on the bible you monster

At least it means we know that as Father Grigori waves goodbye to the rest of the crew on their escape shuttle, he'll be perfectly fine on his burned-out husk of a station which he can power and run by himself, especially considering all the passkeys he'll be picking up as he disposes of the bodies. Actually, that fits perfectly. Good jobs all around. Now we just need Freeman to stop by and dodge through the extensive trap collection he'll build during all the down time.

You motherfucker. I was the janitor on that round and I had no goddamned idea how someone got in there and stole my bombs and spray bottle. I was looking forward to using that spray bottle, too, since I just learned how it worked from your video! I was also the guy that set off your mousetrap. I picked it up and put it in my bag to get it out of the way so I wouldn't tread on it, then dumped it out of the bag in medbay to make room for a medkit or something. Which resulted in it exploding, as you can see when you visit medbay to kick the drugs. (That was right before I got the AI to let me into medbay and resurrected Daeren. It really was a fun round for me. I even got onto the shuttle and survived at the end.)

Montegoraon posted:So, are there any consequences to fueling the reactor with biotoxin instead of N2, as you did in the video? Plasma? Just to point out what's usually going on there- the gases in the main pipes aren't fuel, they're a heat-exchange medium. Each gas has different thermal properties. N2 is a very weak but safe choice. Pros Plasma has extremely high heat capacity and is basically magic as far as the hot and cold loops are concerned. Using it in both the hot and the cold loop will generate a ton of power however you choose to heat it. A pure plasma setup is relatively safe. A plasma-oxygen burn INSIDE the pipes can yield hilariously high amounts of power. Cons Should a pipe break somehow, due to sabotage, PDA bombs, mischief, or inept engineers, you'll have a roaring fire on your hands. If anyone adds oxygen to the pipes, you're about a minute away from the whole core turning into an inferno unless you are really, really, really on top of your game and know how to keep the pressure excursion under control as the heat skyrockets. Also, idiots might think you're trying to blow up the engine and kill you.

If you still have the raw video why don't you make a separate video showing how to setup the engine. drat thing seems really esoteric to those not in the know. Also the how to hack and how to make secret doors are also great.

Jesus, on my second round ever I was made Captain even though my jobs were set to be like, janitor only. I sent an adminhelp thing, I grabbed some whiskey, started walking around the station getting progressively more drunk and shouting orders. Then my PDA or ID card or something exploded, so then I started shouting at the AI to eliminate the traitor. But I was too drunk so it was more like "OAsssssssssicccxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx th eeeeeeraaaaaaaatorrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" so that didn't really help. Things kept exploding and then some guy came into medbay screaming with a railgun and he started loving us up real bad. I took like thirty hits and kept standing back up, so eventually I just started shouting at him while swigging a shitload of whiskey, eventually getting picked up by a medic and getting shoved into a sleeper. Then the entire station got nuked. Pretty good round!
