The correct way to play Janitor is to space-lube the floor, but /sigh and point at the diligently-placed sign you set down whenever someone skids past and faceplants a wall.

last i did this I received a friendly admin reminder that it was not allowed and continuing even with signs up would land me a ban

Space lube causes a fair bit of damage, so I can see why the admins would be against that for non-antags, but 90% of the crew will still slip and fall on simple water and space cleaner, which is completely kosher because it's literally the janitor's job to spread that around.

And in my experience, the goonstation admins are generally very reasonable. You just need to make a good faith effort to stay within the rules, and take responsibility if you gently caress up. I once panicked and killed someone who approached me dressed like a nuke op (and also identified as such by a third party over the radio, following several explosions) who turned out to not have been an antag, and the mod on duty was very understanding about the situation because it certainly wasn't my intent to murder an innocent* person, it was just a chaotic situation.

*It was Horse Horsington, so "innocent" is extremely relative in this case.

For context, Motherfucker here has basically always been kind of a petulant dick-rear end player and for quite a while they were like sort of a dark thread mascot, with most everyone simultaneously loathing them and being strangely fond of their eternally complaining presence in the thread.

If Motherfucker is complaining bitterly about the admins, that's just Motherfucker being Motherfucker.

Space lube can actually hurt innocent spacemen quite badly, which is why this is discouraged.

If someone complains about water lmk who and I will swirly them.

Honestly I never saw the need to use space lube unless I was actively trying to kill people-- water's funnier because then it's entirely the crew's fault when they inevitably slip and go flying into medbay instead of rounding the corner to get to escape.

Also janitor is my favorite job for the above reasons.

Really? As far as I'm aware, there's no rule against messing up corpses however you want on goonstation. If someone is specifically trying to revive them, I could see there being some gray area, but outside of that, I'm pretty sure there's no special protections on the dead.

Here's the thing, some admins are british and hate fun. Other admins like fun.

If there's an admin on that hates fun you'll know because they will yell at you for stupid stuff. Learn who the fun hating admins are and act like a good boy while they are around.

For bonus points you can edge on the border of being a bad boy because you know that admin is probably watching you and it's fun to mess with authority figures.

Chemistry request - is there something that is a compromise between space lube and water? Maybe some sort of detergent that won't cause the brute damage of space lube but still sends people sprawling several tiles away?

In my first ever round of SS13 (100 years ago), some dude was being a mega dick to me re: my inability to work the cloner. Lord doome suddenly burst in through a window (a space window) and murdered the guy with dual red chainsaws, then handed one to me and just sort of went on his way. There was a lot of shouting about kidnapping and murder and piss over the radio, but it was a pretty good first round for me.

I still remember the time you randomly took me under your wing and taught me how to hack airlocks, then stood stock still, said "I'm a poo poo person," and spontaneously sublimated into a mushroom cloud of flame before a squad of gay bikers teleported in and kicked me to death. I never did get any context for that and frankly I think it's probably funnier that way.
