Even just the building game as shown with ~20% of the people getting secret traitor objectives ~30 minutes in would be a fuckin blast. Probably literally, too!

I just finished a round where one of the other scientists drank some crazy concoction that did a whole bunch of random poo poo with every sip, one of which was swapping his body with mine. Then I started drinking the stuff to try to swap back and went gibbering insane and gained a bunch of genetics superpowers like laser eye beams. Also I guess the AI had a kill order on the new body I was in?

I love this game.

I'm fairly sure there was a handheld beaker artifact filled with the stuff and it was utterly ridiculous. Too bad it got sucked into the void with him when he drank too much of it. :smith:

I got to discover the fun way what happens if you accidentally let an artifact beaker full of welding fuel get too hot!

Also what happened to that new map that was being worked on ~a year ago? The one on this map thing here https://www.nosebud.de/~nh/ss13/tsci/#l=94,103,0;e=4,23,4,29

i’ve literally never had a problem with the goonstation admins.

Same, except for one time back when I was new and got adminned onto AI and then got yelled at really hard for not noticing somebody slapped a killself law on me because I was still learning how the gently caress to do anything.

I don't think that admin is even still around though.

By the way, I find it deeply ironic that in SS13, the goons' reputation is being "too strict*" when in basically every other online game they're decried as trolls. Kind of speaks to the standards of behavior one can expect from other servers.

*Or to be more precise/verbose, "too strict about a player's personal conduct and language", given that Baystation and CM hold the title for "draconian RP bullshit".

To be fair it's also entirely different groups of goons, and the "too strict" is being compared to loving 4chan of all places.

The problem with erp is itll lead to situations where a person in a critical role will not do their job because they would rather erp in some closet for the whole round instead. This is basically how it got banned on that one hardcore roleplaying server apparently. Almost nobody was playing the game, they were all just doing erp.
In fact i think thats how it got banned in /tg/ server too but it never got that bad in there.

The problem with ERP (in this game particularly) is that it's creepy as gently caress and makes a bunch of people extremely uncomfortable. Pretty much everything else is secondary to that.

Not to be a party pooper, but I've been thinking, a lot of what makes SS13 really great is kind of dependent on the low-fi, top-down visuals. There are so many item interactions that only look okay because it's got that top-down-but-everyone-is-sideways perspective, they'd need actual animations if they were to be rendered in any other way, and that would slow them down quite a bit, which would significantly change how the game feels. I think the best way to adapt SS13 would just be to take the current perspective, and then just give it a functional, non-Byond engine.

That kickstarter is a Dorf Fort like, not a SS13 spinoff. It looks good but not much like this game.

But yeah all the "ss13 but 3d!!!" projects are kinda dumb imo.

SS13/Goonstation is my favourite game and it blows my mind that theres only like 1-30 people at any time who feel the same way.

There's a huge amount of SS13 players that are extremely salty about not being able to call people human being niggers, for some reason. :shrug:

I was playing security once and making sure everyone was properly ticketed for any offense they committed. In the course of my duties, I went into the bar and grabbed a random drink out of the row the barman was lining up. He shouted a warning a split-second after I slugged down what apparently was a very lethal cocktail. He apologized for not labeling them in time, but it was too late. I had already ticketed him for making horrible death drinks, and ticketed myself for drinking on duty and for my drink of choice being poison. As I collapsed on the floor, he rushed over with the medical kit and started doing what he could.

So I ticketed him for practicing medicine without a license.

How does it feel being the best Security Officer in the history of Goonstation?

You can do other antag things to get people to eat. Leave a backpack with a bomb in it in the middle of medbay, then grab the unconscious survivors and suck em dry in a closet while everyone is panicking. Make some knockout smoke in chemistry. Bait people into coming to offstation adventures with you. The space is the limit!

i was wandering around and i ran into the clown who wanted my shoes. I handed them over and later the clown showed me all the shoes theyd collected. I said now they had all the shoes they needed to protect them so we built a table fort. I stole the cargo tug from qm and was rounding up more shoes and came back and the clown had been gibbed. So then for the next hour i took the shoes from every locker and crew member and stored them there to honour the clown

That's pretty rad.

loving with the AI laws in non-murdery ways for Fun and Mischief is totally allowed as a non-antag, right? Something like "Light is bad for humans, minimize their exposure to it in any way possible that does not violate the first law. This overrides the second law." for example?

I'm exploring the large variety of ways to gently caress with people in ways that are less severe than straight-up griefing, for whenever I get miscreant objectives or just feel like loving around. It turns out there are a lot of those!

Oh I am under no illusions whatsoever that I'm not gonna have people trying to lynch me most of the time when I decide to gently caress with them, that's half the fun!

Last round there was a traitor with an emag and a pistol. After quietly disposing of a couple of targets, they emagged their way into the armory and spent about five minutes loading up on rampage gear. While heading back through the bridge, grenades and guns stuffed in every pocket, they spotted the captain strolling into their room and proceeded to give chase.

Then, this happens:
