I was one of your assistants in that round lenin. That round was awesome, (saber squad; best squad) although the c-saber with the seizure effect might want to be toned down a bit. When it comes to traitors and fun I like to play by the rule 'be the change you want to see'. So if you, as the detective, spot someone gathering traitor gear within the first few minutes of the round sure you could go in and shoot them up but that's not too much fun. Play around. I think the admins do a pretty good job of dealing with legitimately bad/griefing/unfun players. Also treadchairs should totally be a thing.

"What would I think was reasonable had I been caught under such circumstances?" People who were blatantly murdering usually get the execution treatment, but if I caught somebody e-magging or some other minor traitor thing I usually confiscate everything bad & give them a jail term. Deep down I know the system works and traitors can be reformed, productive crewmembers.

I remember the Segway and MULEs first getting implemented. Please don't let wheelchairs run people over. Its the worst. Or at least make it take harm intent. Treadchairs definitely should though. And to balance it, allow wheelchairs to do sick wheelies down the hallways which Treadchairs can't do.

And we just had the greatest 3 seconds of IRC as a result. <Blinkdog> > http://puu.sh/38iyg.png I like to imagine reading this like the "foot bone connected to the leg bone" song <Blinkdog> It gets better if you imagine the singers getting more and more concerned as the song goes on <Blinkdog> looking at each other worriedly mouthing "I don't think this is right..." holy hell I am still laughing

I mean as a Geneticist who jobswitched to Robotics in order to destroy all cyborgs I monkeyed and disposaled all my colleagues and threw away five or six robot suits. When a monkeyed crew escaped disposals and got turned back brought three sec officers with him, all I had to do was just sit cuffed for a minute while professing calmly that I had never seen this man before. Then when he said "WELL WHAT ABOUT ALL THE SUITS" we went to disposals and I just hit the conveyor belt lever while we were all crowded around it. Low-key, chill traitors are the best traitors because every arrest ends with a security officer telling you he's sorry for the trouble as he uncuffs you. "No problem, dude. Just doing your job, right?"

A silver tongue and a bit of guile will do you more good than a cyalume saber and general robustness. Usually. Sometimes you'll get your rear end executed before you can get in a word. Such is life on Space Station 13. As traitor detective for example it is a good idea to save people from shitcurity. I once ended up willing to fight to the death to protect a detective who turned out at the end to have been a traitor. All she had to do was tell security to stop beating me to death for farting on them.

Being detective traitor is really the best. You just need to shout really loudly, scream about forensics and fingerprints and not contaminating the evidence, and security will totally back off and leave you alone. You then merrily drag the hapless convict into the disposals area behind your office to either kill them or outfit them with all access, full weaponry, a wink and a smile. Also, you're fully set up to murder everyone from the start, so you can feel free to order a surplus crate and run whatever additional gimmick you feel like. If you get, say, a syndieborg frame, a jar of moonshine and two moustaches, it's not catastrophic. On that note, I hit a sort of epiphany earlier on; I have decided to stop murdering random people as a traitor, because while it's momentarily fun there's no real reason for it and there's not much they can do to stop you. Experienced players just *shrug and say "oh, okay". This was fun for... er... a few months, actually. Now, it just makes me feel bad. I'd rather do silly things and amuse people and keep my merry murdering for the odd assistant who really wants to push you down and spam a vuvuzela at you. Have I finally grown up as a SS13 player?

Have you tried killing the entire station and then propping their corpses up in the bar with a glass in front of each of them? Or killing the HOP, propping up his corpse and using a voice-changer to use him as a ventriloquist dummy? Or maybe using a sleepypen full of krokodil or crank to kill everyone instead of an esword? Food for thought.

In my playing so far I think there's only one thing that really makes rounds Not Fun for me: vampires. Every vampire round, it always seems like 5 minutes in I happen to walk down some corridor with a vampire, with no warning before getting flashed and no means to escape, then I'm eaten. Round over.

One thing that bugs me is how lethal vampires are now. Not in terms of power, but in terms of actual killing. Used to be a vampire would just steal some blood off you and run off, but now they're basically just reskinned changelings. I can't think of a single vampire round in recent memory where the vamp didn't kill every person they fed off of.

I just had an epiphany; traitor or regular doctors should be able to create an arm that, when used with the harm intent, attaches to the victim and attempts to kill them...force feeding them pills or food on nearby tiles, strangling them, slapping them causing minimal damage that accrues over time, hitting nearby people for minimal damage but it shows up as the victim attacking them. The only way to remove it would be something like someone has to pry it off you, which then has an added chance of attaching to the rescuer. The name of the item would be called:Manos, the hands of Hate. Yes I am watching MST3k, why do you ask?

This is kind of already a thing. If you attach someone else's arm to someone's body, it can go nuts and start attacking them. One dude died when his hand began choking him, and kept doing so after he cut it back off.

Here's a idea - instead of "use harm to drink blood" have it so you can do disarm OR harm. Using disarm on the head would be "Count Pooula sips gently at Pubbie McFuckstick". The vampire would then stop sucking right before it becomes lethal. (with a small chance to kill anyway just because). Harm would be like a Hoover for blood and have the message change to be obviously hostile.

There should be an audible slurping sound to accompany it, as well.

Because that's my idea of a good time as a traitor right now.

How are you meant to take out a vampire anyway? Every time i'm attacked by one its because he's smashed all the lights and is invisible, then welp, black screen, might as well quit out.

You can cut a raging limb off and physically separate it from the victim, and they will continue to strangle themselves with their new hateful ghost hand, even if you give them a new cyborg hand to replace the demon hand.

It really has no purpose except to slap, punch, and strangle you. However, I do intend to test whether you can turn someone into a horrid suicidal Shiva by repeatedly attaching and detaching different peoples' arms, hopefully with the end result of needing six medibots to keep the victim alive in a relentless hell of slaps, punches, and choke-outs.

Adminhelps are broadcast into an IRC channel. So even if there's no admin directly on the server, they will still be able to see it.

There's a lot of adminhelps. Sometimes whoever sees it might investigate and deal with it without answering unless they had to ask you a question. There's usually someone around to see it though.

New genetics is magical. They unlocked the powers of cryokinesis in me, and while said power wasn't actually very useful, I just couldn't help myself:quote:Spigot The Bear says, "HEY ODDBALL" quote:Pokie Hokerson attacks Spigot The Bear in the chest with the mini rad-poison-crossbow! This was in the same round as I defeated a lesser-form changeling by grabbing it and stuffing it in the deep fryer. A good round.

Jumpy gives a fantastic jumping ability which is basically just a quick charge forward, but I was able to avoid some changeling spit with it and also make fun of Humble Bee so I can vouch for it's greatness.
