Colonial Marines community is not super great But that WWII server that was orginally Aza's (ugh) idea took the cake for worst server by default Last entry in list of Rules for the WWII server posted:4) Any female\black skin character on Wehrmacht side is permitted to be lynched, gassed and killed. Any female on Soviet side exept Sanitar\Zavhoz\Sniper is permitted to be beaten up and sent to according role by officers. Any black person in Soviet Army are permitted to be beaten up(couple punches, disarms, nothing more) and mocked by others.

It's probably best not to bother. I mean the potential for some easy grief is there, but chances are some turbonerd will out-stupid your robustness and you only feed their cycle of shittery.

I could see the admins of the WW2 server banning somebody playing as a black character for trying to fight back against teammates trying to lynch them.

Then rob them of their ID stuff and spend the round convincing people you're the real one. I did this to a HoS once after an extended feud. Although, not only did I take his appearance and ID, I gave him mine. Then he found himself arrested for the crimes I committed against him.

This game sounds hilarious. I heard about it a week ago and I've watched one youtube video, the impression i get is that the possibilities are endless  So far I've played three games. First couple of times I managed to wander out of an airlock while trying to get to grips with handling and equipping objects, the third time I spawned as a chef and couldn't figure out how to use the mixer (i put eggs, butter and flour in, but mixing didn't achieve anything... I assume i needed water, but i couldn't work out how to empty a bowl of water into the mixer and instead i kept putting the bowl itself in  ). I did however successfully deep fry the kitchen helper monkey  Also I found a cake, passed it off as my own, and sold it for 700 credits to some guy who kept winning the lottery. I guess he had spare cash to throw around. I used to money to buy bandages from a vending machine, since the monkey had put up a bit of a struggle. I didn't know where the get a mop though, so the kitchen remained coated in blood  .

It should work in WINE : https://www.reddit.com/r/SS13/comments/54zb1o/byond_mac_wrapper_updated/ But it wouldn't be difficult at all to just spin up a VM just for BYOND usage, which is what I used to do on a mac laptop with enough RAM.

[quote="“LOCUST FART HELL”" post="“474199971”"] My first round I accidentally wandered into belt hell and ended up in the crusher. [/quote] A revolutionary held me, the only sec, hostage in a locker and said he’d crush me if the AI didn’t unlock its core. He threw the locker into the crusher belt and nothing happened. Apparently a Clown Car that I’d thrown down there earlier in the round broke it due to :byond: and we had a big laugh.

My favourite pastime as a traitor mechanic has to be setting up teleporter traps all over the station that toss you into the running crusher Admittedly the limited number of security tend to make this about as dangerous as fishing in a quiet pond, but still.

Conot posted:My favourite pastime as a traitor mechanic has to be setting up teleporter traps all over the station that toss you into the running crusher I really wish mechanic stuff had more distinction between friendly and unfriendly purposes. It's hard to set up useful or gimmicky devices because stepping onto a pressure plate or into a laser tripwire is about as smart as eating floorpills, and any idiot with a wrench can dismantle your whole setup. If a random passerby sees an incomprehensible contraption of pressure plates and teleporters at the entrance to Medbay, they tend to assume it's some kind of elaborate and poorly hidden deathtrap.

The other big issue with clowncars is picking up a mutant with the irradiated gene. It'll promptly rad up everyone in the car to lethal levels. I think its based on per step exposure and therefore you move a few squares and eveyone is all radded up. The other fun i have with the car is mixing liquid dark matter while inside it.

I'm guessing they'd want clown cars to be crushable but they're not because of their weird non-euclidian structure, though I'm sure one of the coders can confirm

I dunno, most of the time if someone sets up a teleporter system around the station and adds some labels or something most people are happy to use it once it's generally determined they won't toss you into the combustion chamber or anything, and if you make a weird gimmicky thing people will usually play along if you explain it's harmless. On the other hand, I'm dismantling anything I see which involves graviton launchers in any capacity whatsoever on sight because gently caress that.

Teleporters are really good if someone else tests them first. Instant warps between medbay and the AI corner on Cog2 are especially nice.

Once, someone put a button in a hallway with a teleporter that said "touch this to kill yourself" and I passed by it and thought, "What does this button do?" I pressed it and got trapped in a graviton launcher loop that killed me. I mean it didn't lie I guess.

Good rule of thumb for nefarious shenanigans is that if you don't give a poo poo, neither does the crew. Try to stealthily isolate and take down crew members and dispose of the bodies? Sec and vigilantes hunting you down. Kill a dude in an open hallway while *wave-ing at passersby? Most resistance you get is usually a polite wave back. Same concept applies to deathtraps.

Conot posted:My favourite pastime as a traitor mechanic has to be setting up teleporter traps all over the station that toss you into the running crusher My biggest memory as a non-traitor mechanic was setting up a teleporter trap that teleported people into a room I made where they could pay a ransom to activate another teleporter to escape. Just a dumb bit of mischief that they could easily get out of. it was a wizard round and a golem got in and they died

well, I've played again after some months... I'm a noob at this but what the heck. so I was that botanic guy and learned how to grow space weed just minding my own business (some bee keeper came along and asked if he could have some of the weed-growing-machines) until a nuclear alarm goes off... so I hurry to the tunnels, at least this was what I thought but went straight outer space instead. now I'm dead, so that worked out pretty well.
