I have not played this in quite a few years, and felt like coming back to tool around with genetics, but every time I try to connect to LLJK2, I get "Connection Failed" pretty much instantly.

I can connect to LLJK1 fine.

Am I just trying to connect in-between rounds, or is this a common thing people encounter?

Check your computer for spyware (or reinstall windows), if you don't have a byond paid membership the advertisements from byond probably infected your computer with a bitcoin miner or something and that could be what's slowing down your computer.

If you see an obvious antagonist type doing their thing (Wizard, Changeling, Vampire), you are free and clear to cave their skulls in with a toolbox or shoot them in the face till they stop moving and shove them into a Grinder.

For the more subtle Traitors, use some discretion and don't murder a man because he had a laser gun in his pocket. He might've just found it on the ground. If someone starts repeatedly beating the poo poo out of you with their own toolbox for no discernible reason, however, you're in the clear to return the favour and protect yourself as need be.

If you mean in regards to transformations and the like, you will get a big pop-up saying something along the lines of "YOUR WILL IS NOT YOUR OWN! DO WHAT THE rear end in a top hat WHO INJECTED/INFECTED YOU SAYS!" to let you know what's expected of you (Vampire Thralls, Syndicate Implants, that sort of thing).

I had some nice rounds as Roboticist yesterday. Remove all light stripes but one, set up an operating space, steal all the chems you need, and then butcher everything you come across.

Surprisingly I got a few people who wanted heavy augmentation.

More of that please.

And even WITH mining its still borked. You can get anywhere between 1 and 10 material from an ore, gem, or mineral.

Ask me about getting banned from for two hours from Colonial Marines for having too "unrealistic" of a name. Like I know how VPN's work, are you trying to get Adolf Stalins running around on your server, because this is how you get that.

Seriously tho it isn't that hard to figure out just follow him around as a ghost and if he keeps getting away with nefarious poo poo he's probably evil.

I think that was before we started to really get the innuendo-stopping in gear. And to be fair you've also been banned more than most.

It was also entertaining to watch you and lord_doom have epic grief fights ranging across the entire station from round to round, during the heady early donut1 days.

I got yelled at for the exact opposite reason, the name "Johnny Footballs" was too realistic.

No, really, they claimed it was too close to this guy's nickname:

Hahaha, I had to change mine like twice because I kept accidently choosing minor celebrities, then finally got banned bc the name I came up with was too "unrealistic".

On the plus side I finally got motivated to get a vpn and learn how to bypass most bans. Apparently SS13 has a pretty robust system that is nevertheless easily spoofable, since lol gently caress trying to actually keep track of a person on the internet.

The funniest thing about all this was I was originally just trying to play nice, but now screw it, I have unlimited power, time to see how potassium bombs in the dropship go over (hopefully they kill more aliens than teammates but v0v). Idk I'm not actually that bitter, it's just hilarious to me how zealously the admins on that server enforce the dumbest poo poo.

If you're gonna tell tales from other servers, make them funny ones. There've been an awful lot of "I didn't read the rules and got banned by those lovely uptight pricks who didn't appreciate my brilliance, not that I really care or anything, I don't need them, it has absolutely nothing to do with why I'm downloading a VPN client so I can grief them in revenge like an angry thirteen-year-old" tales lately.

Oh, I didn't know that. Just sharing my experiences, didn't mean to set you off :shrug:

Also, it's just interesting to me what a difference it makes playing under the watchful eye of a trigger happy admin vs just doing what you want. I think that's pretty interesting, but you know, there's always a block button if you simply cannot afford to witness another person poo poo talking the ss13 admin culture.

No matter how ridiculous you find a particular server's rules, receiving a two-hour ban and immediately jumping to 'lol time to griff' is unlikely to make you well-received anywhere in the general SS13 community.

You can, yes. From super heavy reinforced cyborgs to mechanical men, with treads, cyberbutt, cyerbheart and cyberarms. It is quite amazing. There are also some useful upgrades in unlocked fabricators. If you need metal in a pinch, there are always a few sheets in the maintenance area. And a full cyborg crate in the derilict engineering space to the left of QM.

Usually you will also be the last sane entity in the medbay standing, and there are always people in need of surgery.

And if you happily offer services to anybody, the traitor will probably kill you last. Just make sure to give the AI a shiny new Cyborg with all the dodads you can slap, to win it's favour. This will usually keep you alive to think of a plan.

Also, make sure to grab a box of red light strips and outfit your operating room to give it a proper feeling.

On a funnier note, I just learned that setting your signal bombs you have rigged up under the entire forward operating base off by only a single digit is a really bad idea. Apparently someone else found a radio and just decided to go clicking around. I think I just accidently tked... 15 people?

It's ok, rounds are only three hours!

On that note, how am I supposed to use prosthetic laser eyes, I managed to get myself some erebite one round and made them, but they don't do anything different from regular eyes from what I see.
