Goddamnit! I had a FANTASTIC round as a miner. Everyone worked together and be got our gems and armor and everything all good to go. Sent crate after crate of ore to the QMs and everything.

I happened to find a phaser in an abandoned crate with an EMP module and an Extended Homing Module to install. Sweeet. Especially nice since at the end all the Borgs were ordered to build a maze to prevent people from reaching escape. Me and buddy miner hit up the pod and then started blasting borgs left and right trying to save everyone only for me to be HIT BY THE loving SHUTTLE. :argh: I was so close! So very very close!

I love growing food for the cafe/bar, but I've been unlucky every time I've been selected for botany. Either there are four or more botanists and no QM to order up extra plant trays or bees, making it incredibly crowded, and making me chase down a HoP for a job change, OR there's simply nobody cooking.

It's my dream to light up everyone's life with some drat fine chili and start 5 alarm challenges with medics on standby. Speaking of spicy stuff, I wonder if it's possible to make chili beer, which is a real thing and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody outside of its novelty gross-out factor, like salmon soda or turkey cola.

I'm a bit foggy on this, but I could swear an admin once lined the walls of chemistry with erebite ore after a particularly grueling round of chemistry shenanigans. This would've been on Shroom Station. I think the entire room was temporarily moved out of the way to reduce casualties in case for when the chemists accidentally set the erebite off with a flashfire.

Are you quite sure it was accidental? I know in most cases if you told a chemist that a room was covered in thermite or erebite or anything flammable or explosive, they'd gleefully detonate the whole thing on purpose.

I had a fun round as a janitor over the weekend. I was walking around with my space cleaner and a spray bottle full of water. The water turned out to be incredibly useful. I was summoned to medical to clean up some blood and gibbs. Shortly afterward a wizard lit most of the command staff and security on fire. I wondered if spraying them with the water would put it out. It does but also makes the floor slippery. There were many thanks given to me that were almost immediately revoked as the people I saved slipped and fell over.

I also want to thank the borg that offered me lava to put in my spray bottle. I would have taken it if I wasn't having so much fun with extinguishing people with water and I would not have been able to drink it later after you gave it to the barman.

Its rounds like this that make me come back to keep playing.

Last time I was Janitor, I decided to be the normal floor-wetting rear end in a top hat because I hadn't seen one for a while. I brought my mop down to medbay, and also stopped by the custodial closet near Escape to grab a trash bin. As people slipped on the floor, I'd yell 'THE FLOOR'S WET' (and point to my wet floor sign). Anyone who didn't get up immediately got stuffed in my trash bin, including, at one point, the Captain. I guess the Captain didn't know you can just kick open a normal trash bin because he stayed in there a good 10 minutes.

Eventually a Medical Doctor spots me stuffing some glass or something in my bin, and seeing the Captain in there. He goes ape and rescues the Captain, and starts screaming for the HoS to arrest me.

The HoS asks me what the gently caress, and I said "He was a vagrant, and under part 83.1 of the Nanotrasend Custodial Manual, vagrants are trash that must be cleaned."

The HoS says "Well, I can't argue with protocol," and tells the medical doctor to shut up.

Nice to hear chemistry has changed.

One match I was playing as a chemist helping another chemist that had played more than I had.
Suddenly the admin takes a huge steaming poo poo on me accusing me of cheating.
I was completely confused as I had still barely mastered the controls of the game.
Apparently the guy I had been working with was pulling recipes from a list of compounds from a website or some such that the admin had discovered.
He had assumed my guilt through association until I explained to the admin that I was fresh to the game.
He gave me a pass but said to never use outside resources or he would ban my rear end.

Suffice it to say I was scared shitless.

Also discovering how to make coke by mixing random ingredients was awesome.

I'll never understand poo poo like this. If this bothers an admin so much, why not just make it so that difficult recipes contain a degree of randomness to them? Are you really going to spend an eternity trying to enforce a lovely, hosed up rule based on wild accusations just so you can avoid writing a few lines of code?

There are things people can do that would make the adminning process a lot easier, but for whatever stupid reason they just don't, especially on RP servers.

"This may have been a mistake."
So what exactly is supposed to happen when you're tagged by an EMP grenade as a borg? I got a message stating that my law file was corrupted that I was unable to load a law backup (pretty much the same message as being emagged). However, upon checking my laws, all of my laws were in place (including the freeform law 4 put in that round). I adminhelped and the admin informed me that EMP grenades were supposed to wipe laws and add an ion storm law or something, but that it was odd and maybe that functionality wasn't working. We agreed that I should just keep on following my laws, so I did so.

Also had a hilarious law that round where someone declared themselves supreme leader of the station and that all borgs/AI must listen to what he said. We listened intently to his every word (he wasn't very talkative). We couldn't act on his words of course, but boy did we listen.

Like Cheeto said, report it on the forums. Everything is logged, and the coders and other admins with file access are very happy to pull logs and find out what went down and handle it. Sometimes this means Getting Yelled At, sometimes it means getting demoted, sometimes it means getting banned entirely.

EMP Nades used to work like a short-term emag back on Shroom, I dunno when that got changed. Even if that's looking weird though, you can just yell and scream that there's space sharks off the starboard bow for or start singing sea shanties for the next 10 minutes. No reason to not get fun and goofy just because some stinky law set didn't change.

I'm not saying kill anyone of course, but by the same token you could just as easily not report a break-in or theft because it's actually a butterfly dancing on top of the tulips and not Johnny McTraitorpants stealing a riot shotgun.

If you're a traitor, try conducting practical lessons on a "volunteer" for the medical department. Teach them how to properly treat various poisons and burns ("Doctor Pubbie has been injected with coniine from my pen. See if you can save him before he dies"), as well as how to perform surgery. And why you should never, ever, transplant limbs onto someone else. "As you can see, the greyshirt's hand is now throttling him to death."
