Yesterday I attended a wedding for a clownspider and a miner who immediately afterward went to QM and held some other clownspider eggs for ransom so she’d give him her money.

It's even worse when they think that they're justified in forcibly dragging you away from the critical patient you're in the middle of treating, just because you didn't put it on pause to explain to them at length that no, treating their stabilized wounds will have to wait. I think averaged at least one incident per round when I was doctoring on CM where I would have been justified in forcibly sedating some obnoxious marine, if not outright shooting them in the head.

Medical needs a spray bottle of something that knocks you out fast. Both for immediate use on trauma cases, and for de-escalating confrontations with idiots. Bonus points since it'll be abusable by anyone with the antag role.

Though considering how things go on this station, if it was in spray form, you’d be just as likely to get yourself instead.

Ask yourself which solution is more SS13-y, a simple star trek injector of knockout juice, or a Mr. Squirts (tm) brand spray bottle full of some hilarious combination of muscle relaxants, narcotics, and bee spit?

So I came back tonight after not playing for... I don't even know how long. The last station I remember playing on in any detail before today was Ovary, for crying out loud. It was a goddamn blast. I had a ton of fun, everyone was super helpful, and even the round where I got mistaken for the changeling and locked in the crew's quarters bathroom for half an hour was a good time. The one where I got killed by the changeling not so much, wasn't really enjoying getting carted around in the hivemind. But that's whatever, the rest of them were amazing. It's six in the loving morning. I'm sure glad I don't have work tomorrow.

cock hero flux posted:A guy got BE'd because he chose Executive Officer in his first ever round. He put on a suit of armour and the Captain told him to take it off. When he asked him how to take armour off the Captain just pulled his revolver and shot him in the face. Sounds like CM needs TG's time limits on senior roles.

Is the best way to get into this still picking a non-essential role and jumping in with a wiki page open? I love the stories and games like this in general but I've always been intimidated by the idea of learning how to play in a live multiplayer environment

Being captain is like being a Staff Assistant with an all-access pass and a target on your back. So yeah make that your preferred role immediately. Good luck!

Captain's role is to dump all the station funds into their card, then spend it all on slots. Departments that don't complain get their funds back threefold (unless the Captain gets kneecapped by very angry geneticists).

I love the stories and games like this in general but I've always been intimidated by the idea of learning how to play in a live multiplayer environment I started by picking a role, and then learning something that role does. For example, I never learned how to do anything other than grow weed and smoke it as a Botanist. It didn't matter though, because after I got competent at that, I would piss off and go mess around with stuff. Usually, I would beg a pair of gloves from Mechanics and go explore. This eventually gave me a core of things that I could do every round as any role. Hack the vending machines/fabricators, make basic healing chems, send ore back to wherever it goes, remove butts/brains/limbs, cook some foods, break into EVA and get lost in space, etc. Add some mild roleplaying in and you're set.

The real way to be a good HoP is to encourage bribery and theft. Namely the latter to achieve the former coming into your pockets. Try tell people to just bring you "something interesting", rather than cash, in exchange for access to an extra department. You will be very surprised with what players will bring you with that vague a request. Or make them fill out a written form to request access while pointing at a blank sheaf of paper and pens. See what they'll write for you to try and appease you. It's a good role to try and put other players on the spot and make them improvise.

I played my first game in probably 5 years, spent 30 minutes as a waiter figuring out how to pour shots (which were, without fail, immediately thrown at the wall by some passing pedestrian) then tried to escape a radiation wave by hiding in a clubhouse and slowly dying, cold and alone, from radiation sickness. I had both a toxins syringe and a revolver with me but couldn't figure out how to use either on myself.

If it says DRAW click on the word DRAW so it turns into INJECT. Unless you have a weird bloodtype and want to gently caress people over by sharing needles. You don't want to use the russian revolver outside of roleplay (and even then not if you want to be revived) click on the gun to randomise the chamber, click on anything to play a game. pseudo-edit: why don't you know how to use the revolver having played before? quote:The captains only duty is to keep the spare ID safe and stop the hop from making more captains. There's only room for one green moron on the ship and the staff need to respect this. the admins did this a few years back during an adminbus round, the captains started flashing their IDs all over and wouldn't stop until the badmins bombed the bridge

SugarAddict posted:I am now imaging a syndie in disguise sneak into engineering and fart out 5 other syndies in full combat gear. So, funny story. The deep fryer lets you, or at least used to let you deep fry anything. And you used to be able to pump yourself chock full of whatever chemicals you wanted. The net bug that this resulted in was, if you pumped yourself full of enough of the right healing chems, you could suicide next to the fryer and deep fry yourself into a piece of edible food. Another person could then eat you. Now, when that happens, the game would sort of put your player into a weird state of existing-but-not-existing, where your body didn't exist, but things could still happen to you. Like, you know, those massive amounts of healing chems bringing you back to life. Overall, this wasn't that big of a thing though, because your body didn't exist, right? So throw in another bug, where if the person that ate you had their body be destroyed, then that triggered... something that I'm honestly not still 100% sure on, which caused your living, breathing body to respawn in the other guy's place. All of this was found out by accident over the course of several weeks, and culminated in a syndie round where the team of syndies broke into the kitchen and deep fried all but one member, who ate all of the rest of them. That lone syndie then disguised himself, hunted down the captain, got him in a room alone, and shoved a chainsaw into his own chest, gibbing him and releasing half a dozen other fully armed and armored syndicate team members like Pennywise's hosed up, meaty clown car.

That sounds familiar, yeah. I'm honestly kinda sad that this stuff was patched out, because it was almost always hilarious. I'm also surprised no one ever seemed to do a full Matryoshka-style boss fight-esque "This isn't even my Final Form  " kinda thing. Fryermancy and jugglemancy were two of those rare, precious arts that were amazing because they were true quirks of the game engine and should never have rightfully existed, but came together in that perfect storm sort of way that made them magical to learn about.
