So tonight we learned that, when you suicide by deep fryer, you don't immediately die, you stay in crit while you fry

There is enough grace period for someone to take you out and eat you while still living

If you eat a living person, interesting things happen

Ironically this is what they claim the goonstation mods are like.

My favorite is when they go “Why can’t we have sexist/racist names or use slurs?!” and try way harder to rules lawyer why they should be able to do that rather than just, you know, play the game and have fun?

Protip for sneaky Captains:

Do: dress a humanmonkey up as you and keep it as bait.

Do: make a fake persona and disguise for yourself (like Nanotransen Special Investigator) and spy on your crew. Take notes!

Don't: dispose of said fake-captain violently and in public by beating them and flushing them down disposals.

One of the best ways to kill someone is to frame them for the murder of Heisenbee or Dr. Acula. Other station pets work, too, but those two are especially likely to turn the crew against whoever you set up.

Are you allowed to kill someone as a non-antag if the evidence indicates that they're a pet-murdering sonuvabitch?

Technically, no, but it's a pretty easy leap to make from "murdered Heisenbee" to "definitely a traitor". To my knowledge, it's totally within the rules to murder someone as a non-antag if you're convinced they're an antag. Happened to me once when I saw someone dressed up like a nuke op right after someone shouted out on the radio that they were, in fact, a nuke op. He moved towards me and I lit him up before realizing that he was only wearing the turtleneck so probably wasn't an actual nuke op. Turns out it was a Changeling round, and boy was my face red.

There's also at least one (possibly retired) Miscreant objective that requires you to goad someone else into killing you, so it's clear there are circumstances where murdering a non-antag is permissible, likely based on how much they've been acting like an antag.

I'm still proud of the time I, as Chef, murdered both George and Jones and made a sandwich out of them and was then instantly mobbed and killed by the stunningly angry crew. They actually coordinated with one another to bring tools to bear and break through my walls. Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it.

They sure as hell did.
Humanized monkeys are proven almost as effective as real captains.

"Cap I need something..."
"...cap?"
*sighs and leaves*

Also they sometimes talk and pickpocket. Is there a way to rename chimps? This requires further development.

I mean it would be more obvious at a glance.

New tactic: monkefy self as Captain and hide in the monkey lockup.

You can't really rename monkies but stable mutagen can make them indistinguishable from someone who already exists and you can use the same stuff to make yourself into anyone else so theoretically if you want a money to look like someone you can come into the round as who you want them to be, mutate them, than stable yourself into someone else

Ok I need to know more.

I thought unstable just gives you random mutations?

Like I know there's a 'polymorph' mutation but I never knew it just straight up scrambles your appearance?

Like what I did was fully dress them as captain, with a fake 'captain' ID and my PDA, and a gas mask so that anyone looking at them just sees 'me'. This of course breaks when the monkey talks - which it does every time it tries to steal an item from someone. It'll say 'give me XXX item' and then try take it - except it always says Chimp (as Jake) says: etc

While lurking around chimp-human-captain I also discovered that they can see you inside lockers, and will open the locker to go through your pockets. Monkeys are assholes.

Likewise, when I'm disguised, talking out loud gives me away - I know there are voice changers? But I'm pretty sure those are an antag item. I did think about trying to get Genetics to give me polymorph but that would have gotten extremely confusing (probably in a fun way).

Stable mutagen isn't like unstable. Mixing stable mutagen with blood lets you basically copy the appearance and genetics of the blood donor as they are at the time of drawing it.

So I'm walking down the hall on Cogmap1, and who do I see but Satan himself in a little nook above EVA:


He offers a deal: roll higher than him on a d100 and get a wish.
I win with a 96 and wish for a golden fiddle.
I get a damned wooden fiddle for a left arm, so I try to beat him to death with a bible, and get both arms hacked off by my crewmates instead.

Then I walk into a teleporter-->crusher trap.

He placed a teleporter pad on both sides of an airbridge and then welded/dropped the bolts on all the doors. People would run up, realize the doors were sealed, and run into the teleporter expecting it would take them to the other side. And for a while, it did. Which helps build trust that can later be exploited.

Then he built the trap out in space. Just three tiles, walls to seal them in, a teleporter pad, and graviton traps that fling anyone who walks on them into a crusher.

After he built his crusher trap out in space, he rerouted the teleporters to lead to his trap...one-way. So people would walk into the teleporters and get insta-mulched.
