Space Station 13 is a game about surviving on a badly designed and constructed space station held together only by spit and a prayer. You can expect to discover new and bizarre things, which have an exceptionally high chance of killing you horribly, about as frequently and as often as your own heartbeat. Space Station 13 is filled by a paranoid, schizophrenic, psychopathic, homicidal crew, likely because that's just what happens to you when you live in such a shithole. The crew will often try to kill these strange things, without regard to safety and collateral damage, and will certainly fail at everything but the latter. Much like a rock is weathered in the ocean, so too is the station, in a gigantic sea of fire and shit.

This happens over the course of a single round (or shift). Rounds can last anywhere between (rarely) a few seconds to a few hours, depending on events occurring in the round, which tends to be dictated by the gamemode, but there's no actual time limit in a round - the round ends when the emergency shuttle comes to what remains of the station, and returns back to Central Command, or when a gamemode-specific condition is met (more on that below), or when every person is totally dead. When the round ends, the cycle begins again.

SS13 was originally just an atmos simulator, and in 2003 it was very rare and quite a good day when server pop hit double digits. Eventually, the source code went around, and the Something Awful goons got their hands on it, and released the base of every other codebase out there: known as r4407, many codebases took that and refined it, continuing to do so as the game gets more and more popular. Today lots more people play this game, and there are more then plenty of different servers and people to play with.

A gamemode is, simply put, a bunch of specific events that will happen in that round, aside from the events that the players will create themselves. There are plenty of them and different servers will have their own, but these are the most common:

[B][U]Extended:[/U][/B]
Extended, also known as "god fuck why is it extended", "fucking dog shit boring" and "badmin event central" is just what it says on the tin: the round is extended. Jack shit will happen as far as gamemode events go, so this can sometimes be used as a chance for people to explore the depth that the game has, but is really used for the game admins to fuck around on their own. The crew will always subconsciously know that it is extended, (likely because jack shit is happening) and so cause even the most righteous of players to grief the fuck outta everything

[B][U]Traitor:[/U][/B]
This is THE gamemode. If you know The Ship, or Trouble in Terrorist Town, there you go. Literally that's all there is to it: some people randomly are chosen to be traitors amongst the crew: only the player that is a traitor will be informed that they are a traitor. No one, not even other traitors will know between who is crew and a traitor (or who may be an unexpected ally). Traitors get objectives to complete, which range from assassinating specific crewmembers, to stealing secure items such as a hand teleporter or the Chief's magnetic boots, to killing monkeys, or stealing the AI's CPU and/or killing its cyborgs. Traitors get special traitor gear to accomplish this goal, but they can choose to do said objectives at their own leisure, or instead to do something else entirely.

[B][U]Nuclear Operative:[/U][/B]
This gamemode involves 5/6 people, chosen at random to become NUKE OPS, whose singular goal is to [del]make a plan and break it causing everyone to find and kill the ops and take their gear[/del] [del]work as a team[/del] blow the station up with a nuke. Whatever their objective; they will fail. They also are given their own specialized gear to help even the odds against the mob of 40+ angry crew that want to steal your gun, your clothes, and your [del]motorcycle[/del] space vehicle. They hunt after the nuclear disc which is needed to set up the bomb, and it is the captain's duty to guard the disc with his life.

The disc will often be found alone right on the captain's desk, where the nuclear disc spawns in every round.

This gamemode is unique in that it has multiple victory states, ranging from the crew winning by escaping with the disc on the shuttle, killing all of the nuke ops, and the ops winning by blowing up the station and surviving. The round will end if the nuke ops blow up the nuke, otherwise the shuttle is the only option.

[B][U]Changeling:[/U][/B]
Changeling is basically "The Thing", but is really just a shitty knockoff filled with bullshit, the gamemode. The Changeling(s!) can instantly stun someone for a long duration and remove them from the round within half a minute. The changeling can transform into anyone they have absorbed and have various stings which do various things. Changeling was supposed to be a thing where there would be horror from people being missing and suspicion at if anyone was really the changeling. Instead it's just terrible and unfun. Recent versions of this gamemode have made it even more of a joke, so it's basically a really long boring round with fuck shit all to do.

[URL="http://wiki.ss13.co/Changeling"]Goon's Changeling is by far a much better version.[/URL]

[B][U]Wizard:[/U][/B]
In Wizard, one player gets picked for wizard. The wizard can choose between a number of spells, with many utilities. A wizard will generally always need to wear his wizard clothing and have a staff to cast his spells. The wizard also has objectives to complete: these tend to be hard since the crew will mob you, but you're a goddamn wizard so even an idiot like you ought to be able to fuck everything up right? Even then, some wizards try to forgo violence and seek to increase relations with the crew of SS13.

Some wizards are [highlight]fucking stupid[/highlight].

The round ends if the wizard dies. He often will, and tends to hold the record for "quickest round ends".

[B][U]Revolution:[/U][/B]
Revolution, aka REV is a gamemode where three random crew members become rev heads. Their goal is to kill the Command Staff of the station, and they can convert more people to their side by flashing them. This is why Heads of Staff are fucking paranoid about flashes. This gamemode will inevitably degenerate into all out war vs Security, the Heads of Staff, and non rev crew. Why non-rev crew? Well, there's always one asshole Head of Staff who tries to go incognito and extends the round like a fucking cunt forcing everyone to fight to the death in case they are actually the Head in disguise.

This was removed from Goon for "terrible".
The round ends when all the Heads of Staff die, or the revheads die. The shuttle cannot be called and will never arrive, thus causing the terrible deathmatches.

[B][U]Cult:[/U][/B]
Cult was a gamemode created by /tg/, and tends to be available on any /tg/code servers. Basically imagine Rev, but instead you start out weak as shit, and unable to convert anyone at the start. Also you need to do research to find out magic words to do anything, and doing the research and magic words will easily kill you. Also, it's quite obvious what the hell is happening and so random people will often rat you out.

It's like Rev but so much worse and twice as long. It's fucking terrible as shit [highlight]jesus H christ[/highlight]

[B][U]And More!:[/U][/B]
There are plenty more gamemodes, and fun random events that'll happen besides, but these are the most common and you really ought to experience those for yourself.

Can't update it, Garry made the servers all fucky and it won't apply the changes I made.

It's a beautiful day when we manage to fill 520 pages with spacemen. Let us fill another 125 pages with glorious Clown beatings and Janitorial lynchings.

[Col.Rebel]

so a group of greytide assistants asks the ai to open the bridge and captains office so they can have a "party"

let it be known that the captain fought well with his egun, but as soon as his desk was wrenched down, it was not long before he was pushed over, tabled, stripped naked, zip-tied, and flushed down disposals

Glad the current king of SS13 has his rightful place as thread OP.

Anyone knows what the current thread post limit is?

[DETrooper]

rip v.10 you will be missed

we should go back and get some of the best stories and post them here

Ugh. 10000 would have been better.

Whatever, I guess we can take comfort in the fact that this subforum didn't get hit too hard by the garrypocalypse.

At the very least we'll be able to take refuge on Hippie Station 13's forums if shit really goes south.

On topic, I haven't played SS13 in way too long and I feel like playing but at the same time /tg/ was my favorite server but apparently now it's shit so I'll probably want to play on Hippie Station but it's too much effort learning the new stuff for now.

What version of chemistry do you guys even have?

Same old chemistry, /tg/ added in horrible things like table climbing and removed Warm Donk Pockets.

I bailed out of /tg/ just before the not-so-frictionless space update came, so table climbing was something I still found annoying and tolerable.

You guys should import the new traitor items rebalance (where you had 20 tc instead of 10, they added new items and rebalanced costs), it's like one of the last good things /tg/ did.

Under that system you can now buy 20 soaps instead of a mere 10!

Was fun hanging out in the trenches with the other mods but to be honest I never would have had the time to do any moderating, and I couldn't enjoy the server when I was watching over it.

Still had a fun time though, and at least now I'll be able to enjoy the server.

I tried.

[Valiantttt]

Reminds me of a round where I played a clown, engineers let singlu get loose about 8 minutes in. There was a cult but I had all acess cause, captain was nice, and I tried setupping up a pacman generator and 2 solars. Sadly I found out when i finished wiring the first 2 wings, that the solar tracker was broken, and then when i finished wiring the other solars(very badly might I add) I found out that fucking singlu somehow came back and had eaten the SMES..

Honk. That is why a clown should not be an engineer but it was safer then going in the station, I then tried fixing engineering pod but it turns out that the pods don't work like the shuttle.... so the pod left without me. Honk.

At least I had a jetpack...

[NikolaT]

Wow I was so unrobust those past two rounds.
