How is station rotation working? Every time I've joined the last few days it's been Cog1. I don't hate Cog1, but I definitely prefer Cog2 and woudl like to go back.

It is going to be cog1 until the server population bounces back up.

I've definitely seen people thrown into windows and the windows breaking as a result. Can't recall any time someone was thrown *through* a window, though.

The issue with cog2 at the moment is that it doesn't cope well with low-pop rounds. If there's less than around 20 people the station starts feeling very deserted because it's too big for that playercount. This in turn leads to less people joining or sticking around and all of a sudden we have a negative feedback loop.

What's the deal with birds, anyhow? Occasionally I'll see them flood the station without warning, squawking up a storm. Are cockatiels valued chef ingredients now?

I played this game once (probably on a goonstation server) a few years ago. I was a quartermaster, I tried to use a remote controlled robot to deliver some goods to someone, ran over myself knocking myself unconscious. I thought my colleague would save me but instead he shoved me into space somehow. I'm not entirely sure if this is actually what happened, it was my reading of events through a terrible internet connection and an utter lack of understanding of the game. A fantastic time! I've been meaning to try again sometime and now I live somewhere with an actual internet connection maybe I will have to give it a shot.

Nakar posted:Haine really likes birds. Yeah basically just this. They've always been my favorite animal and I like spriting stuff, so I just kinda naturally end up spriting birds when I'm bored and can't think of anything better. Then I add them to goonstation because I hope to one day transform it into Bird Station 13. Also because playing as a crow that yells at people to do drugs is funny to me.

While not very original by SS13 standards, I have a fond memory of being an antagonist and making a copy of the garbage compactor from disposals. I set up a new compactor in the middle of a hallway and set up a cloaking field to hide it. Then made up a story and called on the radio for urgent security and medical help. As people came running down the hallway to my rescue, they would suddenly turn into a fine bloody mist.

I don't think I've played SS13 in a deacde, since the ring station. My favorite game was as AI traitor where I achieved all my objectives by doing nothing but helping other people ruin everyone's lives. It was always fun when the game would stop for thirty seconds then half the station was either on fire or no longer there. One time that happened and I saved (part of) the station by figuring out on the fly how to set up the solars. It worked! RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Apr 20, 2017 |

LOCUST FART HELL posted:one time on rear end day haine made half the station birds and the other half traitor staff assistants, long story short i was a cockatiel that stunned a guy with a flash and stole his c-saber and led him on a merry chase round the station Ooh, I have a story related to this! Up until recently, players couldn't be animals: due to limitations on how they were coded, any critters we had could only be controlled by AI, not players (with some very specific edge cases that were basically admin-only). For a while we had code in place for playable critters, but very little had been ported to it yet. Then MBC set up playable mice one day, and I kinda latched on to that base and went hog wild and ported a bunch more animals, like cats, dogs, possums, etc. (And birds, yes.) In celebration of all the new things players could be, I joined a round just about to restart, and told everyone that next round they should latejoin because there were going to be a lot of  !!!fun new job choices!!! for that round.So the new round begins, and a few people have readied up. It's nuke. The ops are immediately worried because they can hear the announcement computer rattling off a slew of new crewmembers joining up, all of whom are cats, or birds, or mice. They comment that they're sure they're going to die to all the animals. I scoff at the idea in asay, since the animals are all extremely fragile. A couple punches and any of them are dead, let alone a couple bullets. I should have lowered my expectations, it turns out. So the station is rapidly filling with various animals, some of whom are fighting with one another, some of whom are dying to doors or the few people on the ship punching them. Most are just wandering about and discovering what it's like to play as a tiny animal. The ops are making their way to Medbay, where they're supposed to set up the nuke. One of them nearly suffocates while getting out of the pod due to forgetting to turn on his oxygen, then they nearly lose or forget the nuke, as ops are want to do. They manage to get into Medbay with minimal fuss and no alarm raised. They heal up and begin setting up the area - they build tables to block off people's access to their corner of Medbay, and more tables around the nuke (which they've tucked into one of the beds.) Somewhere around when they were nearly done with the tables, someone wanders by, sees what they're up to, and screams over the radio as they run off. The ops have a brief minute to realize they've tabled off the nuke without starting the timer, so they quickly have to deconstruct one and start it up. Now, this was the very first round since these playable critters were added. I'm sure most regular players have encountered a wizard that knows Baleful Polymorph before, but this was the first time these ops had ever encountered the new animals, so they had no way to know something very important to their plan to block off Medbay with tables: Small animals can move over them, and hide under them. The ops barely have time to get their table back up before animals are pouring into the room. Cats, mice, dogs, and a rainbow of parrots, from every possible direction, scoot right over the poor ops' tables. The ops are in chaos for a minute as they wildly fire at the animals - very few shots land, most sailing over their heads. One of the ops is struck by some of the stray bullets, the others get bitten by the animals as they dart around the tables. Blood flies everywhere. Some of the animals get to the nuke and begin hitting it with whatever they can. The ops quickly realize that guns aren't going to work, and they switch to melee. Most of the critters fall quickly. There was a problem, though. See, cats have nine lives. When they would normally die, they would check to see if they should ignore that death and use a life. Due to a bug in how this was coded for the new playable cats, they'd forget to actually die, regardless. Essentially, the cats were all immortal. The ops stood no chance, in the end. The cats would get up every time the ops managed to strike them down, and whittled away at the ops and the nuke until both were gone. That was The Day The Station Was Saved By Cats. (please note that my recollection of this event is a bit foggy so some details may have gotten mixed up with other goofy nuke rounds I've observed)

It's a good thing that Terror Birds have long since gone extinct and would never appear on a futuristic space station designed for scientific endeavours.

My favourite critter moment was joining as a 'dirty prison rat' - literally a mouse that spawns in the brig bathroom. Two convict lizards just so happened to spawn in the brig with me that round and we quickly became pals united against the racist security officers. I managed to make a break for it when the captain opened to door to closely examine the dirty lizard criminals, and racked my tiny brain for a way to save my buddies. Well it turns out that mice are naturally skilled at chemistry and are able to carry igniters and drag beakers of thermite at the same time....

Hey, Haine, can you code in the ability(and the related item) to dip parrots in caramel? And then when you apply said caramel dipped parrot to a crew member, have it give some remark in the chatbox about the applicator being a member of the parrot-rear end fanclub? I wanna see how many people get that really old reference.

A normal everyday round. A man named Space Prince is trying to wrangle a monkey for genetic testing, and I'm sitting there in genetics watching him. Deciding to be a goofball, I bring up the suicide prompt while next to those two chutes (this is Cog1 genetics) and then quickly stuff him into the chute and hit OK. It severs my head and sends him and my head into the closed disposals belt. He ends up crammed in there with Mr Muggles, a riot launcher, and my severed head. Mr Muggles picks up the riot launcher. He accidentally grabs the monkey. And this is what happened Prince Space coughs! Mr Muggles coughs! Repeat x1000 Apparently smoke is affected by disposal belts, so he and the monkey got trapped on a tile with about twenty smoke entities, and every single time the game moved the smoke and them it set off the coughing reaction again. And the coughing reaction causes Oxy damage. This is the story of how the Prince of Space got hotboxed to death by a monkey in the garbage dump of a space station.

Who made the sprites of the current goonstation? I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out what sort of hat the captain's hat is supposed to be. A stetson with... golden stuff on the brim? Weird sci-fi headwear?
