Tonight I was lighting a nice gentle char burn when I was ambushed by nuke ops. And I was dying, thinking the whole while, had I known they were coming it would have been plasma/O2 in every loop and open valves on every other gas tank I could reach. e. there was still a happy little plasma fire, every op died or suicided, then a heroic bot grabbed the nuke and teleported it off the z-level with seconds to spare, so an excellent round regardless. Next time I'm captain though I'm crushering the disk. rndmnmbr fucked around with this message at 11:06 on Apr 26, 2019 |

My best traitor geneticist round ever began with me and the geneticist next to me both loving up and revealing our traitor status to one another, wherupon we both realized the cosmic gift bestowed upon us and vowed not to waste it. We ended up pulling a bumbling routine where we would call random targets in for genetic enhancement and take turns passing them between us, pretending to incompetently try to fix them while rendering them subsequently mute, blind, deaf, completely irrecognizable, and finally utterly unable to stop us or cry for help as we flushed them down the disposal pipe.

What's to stop you crushering the disk in any case? Is there some recourse for the operatives? I mean yeah it's metagamey as hell to destroy it - but if the captain does do that after seeing there's nukies - is there some alternative for them? Or are they just hosed at that point?

DarkDobe posted:What's to stop you crushering the disk in any case? Is there some recourse for the operatives? on goon, the disk is optional and just reduces the countdown (or increases it if a crewmember uses it) quote:An entirely optional objective that can nevertheless be vital to your planning. When used on an armed bomb, it modifies the countdown depending on who inserted it: 3 minutes less (operative) or 3 minutes more (crew member). Needless to say, the first outcome is vastly preferable from your perspective. The disk can generally be found in the captain's pocket and if your team decides to send somebody after him (be it undercover or not) in preparation for the main strike, remember that he is armed and likely to expect trouble. edit: on other servers where the disk is mandatory, it respawns if it exits the z level. consider recursively containing and deep frying it Ruzihm fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Apr 26, 2019 |

It used to do that here too, but that was removed at the same time the nuke no longer needed to be armed at the Syndicate shuttle but instead on the station somewhere (a very good change). The Auth disk also includes actual authentication codes for a handful of things, and as said, increases the countdown by 3 if a loyal crew member uses it on the nuke. Crushering it is a pretty bad idea. Ruzihm posted:He told me to arrest someone, and I flashed them and managed to figure out how to cuff them before they got up. The told me I didn't say what I arrested them for, so I told them "troublemaking". They had been messing around with teleportation, so they were upset that I apparently considered that worthy of being arrested. I was that person! I was dismantling his teleporter traps that dropped you into the crusher, and I guess he didn't like that. Spacing yourself was a hilarious twist that I wasn't expecting, as I was completely helpless -- arrested, grabbed, and primed to be spaced. It gave me enough of an opportunity to run away, hop on a forklift someone left out, and escape my would-be murderers, surviving all the way to the shuttle. You did well.

If you're not doing a hellburn, but you are using the combustion chamber: When you add plasma to the hot loop, connect the canister, open the valve and immediately shut it. Tiny amounts of gas is all you need. Don't forget about the purge valves either! If you are doing a hellburn it shouldn't matter at all

They got rid of chemistry for a reason. Basically this reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EBcJBdNpeU Though seems like a lot of other servers still have it, and balance it by having most departments also have access to crazy poo poo if you know how. I suppose the issue with chemistry is that it was a lot easier to get your hands on all the crazy poo poo right away if you memorised the formulas.

As long as it's not going away on the station. The best part of the chem dispenser in the bar is making perfluorodecalin and then advertising over the radio that your drinks are so good they'll leave the drinker speechless.

EclecticTastes posted:Well, unless you emag it, or suicide into it. One round, I had just dragged somebody to the cloner and gotten them going when I noticed Jay Wolfe running around with a katana. As the previous couple rounds had also been dumb rampages, I decided not to engage and jumped my rear end into the reclaimer. As it turned out, the machine had run out of biomatter due to a lot of people dying early on and needing to be cloned, and since Jay apparently hosed off more or less right after that without doing the rampage I'd anticipated, people noticed what happened and assumed I'd nobly sacrificed myself for the sake of the crewman being cloned, rather than the reality that I'd just killed myself out of irritation.

A man was sentenced to borging by the Captain, for the crime of cyanide poisoning. There was no trial. There were no roboticists. Just a VERY enthusiastic security man, and a VERY horrified HoP. The procedure was messy. Terribly messy. Traumatizing. The new borg proceeded to drag the husk of its former body away. ...The HoP found it. In his office. It was too much.  Of course HoP was found later and cloned. Still struggling with the horror of what he had done and witnessed, he flung himself from the escape shuttle into the sweet embrace of the void.

Had an awesome admin-assisted round. I was a traitor, and early on I died coincidentally because I'd stepped away from the computer briefly, before I'd even used my telecrystals. I asked if there was anything they could do, and I was changed into a massive syndie rail drone, and left to wander space freely. I became what I can only describe as the equivalent of a bonus boss - an incredibly strong, tanky behemoth that was all but made to catch random explorers unaware, only beatable by focused effort. It was pretty quiet until I stumbled upon the radio station, and gave the host the fright of his life as I claimed the station as my own, crashing through the windows and blasting him. It was at this point pods came to challenge me, and succeeded in drawing me away before succumbing to my blasts. Alas, my knowledge of how to navigate space is limited, and once I followed the pods to the Space Diner I couldn't get back to the radio station. As the shuttle flew home, I had a final showdown with my first rival, destroying her pod. I sat in space with her as she died, as it had been a worthy battle. Then I gibbed her body, as a sign of respect. Such a cool round.

Ruzihm posted:newbies, remember: keep an eye on your intent! Important exception: Do not use any intent other than Help when wielding a stun baton. The Harm intent (and possible Grab/Disarm, I've not tested) introduces a risk of holding the baton backwards and zapping yourself. As far as I can tell, this exists exclusively as a trap for people that overuse the Harm intent.
