Getting in on the My favorite round playing SS13 was as a captain a while back. I did the usual thing, bumbling around the station, saying hello to everyone, schmoozing the departments, and trying to watch out for, but actively avoiding, poo poo going to hell around me. There were reports of a traitor rampaging around, and one crew member called out that he was trapped and dying somewhere alone. Well, gently caress, I have all access, let's try to save him! I run over, look around, hide in a locker to avoid a guy skulking around, then find the critically wounded crewman. I dragged him as fast as I could to medbay and began to try to heal him as best as I could. Miraculously, especially considering I have never played medic before, I manage to dig the bullet out of him, heal him up, and cure his cardiac arrest with a defib unit. He thanks me profusely over and over as I try to comprehend that I did what I'd consider to be a loving awesome job at saving one of my crew's life. Later on, I would go on to gun him down with my e-gun and toss a syndicate grenade on his corpse for good measure. Assassination complete, other objectives complete, round complete.  And because I am a goon of my word, I will never pass up the opportunity to repost this: PopeCrunch posted:When I scream and holler and delete the lights in Chemistry and alter one of the chemical machines to only output blood and vomit, it's not because someone's using a recipe list. That just means it's time to punish Chemistry for existing. Clockwork Cupcake posted:The only time I remember you loving with Chem, you changed one of the dispensers so it only gave out blood and added something that exploded HORRIBLY when chilled to the list on one of the others. Was it "reward Chemistry for existing" time that day or what? Klayboxx posted:When poop existed you would alter them to only output poop and piss. I remember that quite fondly. Captain Bravo posted:The best Chemistry round was the round where Science was determined to have finally gone Too FarTM and the entire research wing was deleted and replaced with a band room. Neddy Seagoon posted:I'm trying to picture what could possibly qualify as this, and every time all I come up with is a smoking hole open to space in the station where Chemistry once was. Captain Bravo posted:I'll give you a hint, it was immediately after one of Cog's big chemistry updates, where he added in new stuff. Coolguye posted:I wish I could find the screencaps on the wiki of the time Pope went absolutely loving apeshit on Chemistry. He murdered all the Chemists, and deleted everything that could potentially be used to do chemistry, even in the kitchen. He sent announcements at each step in this process, getting more and more furious each time someone found some other way to do chemistry on the station. Dozens of people asked "what did the chemists do???" over and over again. PopeCrunch posted:I couldn't figure out how you goatfuckers STILL managed to be terrorists with potato chips and water. YOU FOUND A WAY. I had two coders on IRC combing through reactions trying to figure out exactly how you motherless fucks were managing to make potato chips and water into explosives, and they had no loving idea. It shouldn't have been possible. It couldn't have been possible. I fear for the safety of the world if the people who managed to find a way to do murders with mother loving potato chips and goddamned water ever get recruited by a real world terrorist organization. The headlines the next day will read something like WE'RE ALL hosed: SOME NERD KILLS 3/4 OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION WITH A USED BANDAID AND THE SQUEAKER FROM A DOG TOY. THIS SECURITY PHOTO SHOWS THE SUSPECT PURCHASING A STICK OF GUM. DOES HE WANT FRESH BREATH, OR IS HE FINISHING THE JOB? OUR ONLY CONSOLATION IS THAT WE WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE IT COMING. FILM AT 11 IF WE'RE LUCKY. OR UNLUCKY. gently caress IT. WHATEVER. -(AP)

My favorite round as captain, I caught a very murder-y traitor and straightjacketed them, chopped off their arms and replaced them with chainsaws, and force fed them joints while we blazed up in the bridge. I then proceeded to inject them with a tracking implant and let them go, occasionally chucking a flashbang through the teleporter into their location to keep them on their toes. When I posted about it in the thread they said they laughed their asses off and also died in a jumpsuit fire started by the flashbangs I kept teleporting to them. Whoops!

This is actually how much people on other servers hate fun posted:Well the bad news is that this style has been carried over to Space Station 13, which has a firm rule constantly championed by the admins "Do not hijack another player's game experience". This means no throwing acid/gas grenades into the medbay, or using a bomb to blow up security, killing handfuls of other players for no reason, for your own amusement.

I had a wonderful time today as the worst AI of all time, watching a man fly around and crash through everything, including the engines, before eventually flying in to crash into my core and kill me. Also there was an indoor forest with a changeling hiding in it. 'Twas magical.

I looked around in my images folders, and I found a screenshot of Space Station 13 way back from 2006. This was the only round I ever got picked as the traitor and won - thanks to a little help from fellow goon Maxxpower, wherever he may be. Such a boring, mostly text, screenshot, but it was one of the most thrilling two hours of my life. I imagine it has evolved a bit since those days.

Hm. The needs thing (just in #1?) might need more fine-tuning. My thirst utterly bottomed out a few minutes after three sips of fortified wine. I drank some cola to recover, and apparently died of thirst while the thirst need was actually on an upward trend, at 17.

I naturally hosed it up forever by choosing the science shower room (literally the smallest room on the map) as my HQ. because I placed it in a great location we got out-tagged immediately. The AI later got subverted by the jazz room gang (I was going to block them in with reinforced walls too) so while I was trying to killswitch it Jay Wolff joined the server, ran up and started killing me for no reason, until I blew up the whole mainframe room using the plasma lights and suffocated to death  apparently the winner just nerded it up in a room somewhere while every other gang leader managed to get themselves killed  Strudel Man posted:Hm.

On the April fool's event some years ago when it was introduced I ended up trying to take a piss, and ended up pissing myself in the jumpsuit and died before I could wash

Finally got back into this game. Played a couple of rounds and it's just as enjoyable as it ever was. I don't know why, but I really enjoy trying to patch people up and fix the station while everything goes to poo poo. It's cathartic for some reason.

I think it's time to bring 'ol Bill Rizer out of the freezer. Is Security still a thankless, highly-lethal job where your efforts at keeping the station safe are ultimately-futile and will 99% of the time lead you into arresting/killing the wrong suspect and turn the entire station and the admins against you? 'Cause I wouldn't have it any other way. (also issuing dumb joke tickets to the crew from a segway is the only thing that keeps me from eating my own stun baton)

Colonial Marines server trip report: The Good: -Goofy-rear end SS13 combat occurring all over the place. I'm talking players skating around the jungle like it's Disney on ice, aliens colliding into walls from missed charges, and hilarious amounts of friendly fire. -Colonist role has all the fun of being a terrifies human admist a swarm of monsters without the crushing waiting and rules-mongering that comes with being a marine! -Last stands up the wazoo! -Delimbing hapless victims never gets old. The Bad: -The server's dedication to roleplay leads to some really cringy poo poo, such as marines unironically spewing jarhead-speak and the constant, creepy "mommy" relationship the aliens have with the queen. -Predators are really powerful and cool so they attract the biggest turbonerds that spend most of their time making spooky noises and gabbing about honor. -Holy poo poo it takes forever for a round to start/end. The first hour consists of aliens vomiting goo all over the place and marines rp'ing on the Sulaco, then there's another half hour spent wandering the colony taking potshots at shadows, then an actual 20 minutes of action followed by another hour of mopping up surviving xenos/marines. I spent an entire evening just sitting through two games. -No clowns. In short, it's a ton of fun, robust combat marred by strict rules and a ton of needless fluff that extends the game needlessly. I'd kill for a version with Goonstation's style of rp-commitment and waves of Nanotransen clown commandos being sent to their early graves over a crate of Discount Dan's teriyaki-style corporate secrets hidden in an alien hive.
