[I]Silentfather cares for every mime,
Honkmother loves every clown,
Yet their yearning had them commit a crime,
And they both learned the meaning of the frown,
In the clouds of laughing fog,
Inside the halls of banana-colored plates,
A pair of quiet, thankless dogs,
Sit beside, guarding their gate,
We sing and dance and praise and prank,
While we make shows with our faces blank,
We may fight each other,
We may hurt one another,
We may never learn, or love,
But we can't just give each other a shove,
And call it a day,
Like our Gods,
Past the farms of hateful flowers,
Through the invisible maze of walls,
Stand giant, invincible pillars, like towers,
Behind the bars, our honkbrother, calls,
Never answer him, clown,
Never listen to him, mime,
Or you'll learn what's it really like to go to town,
A city covered in red grime,
We sing and dance and praise and prank,
While we make shows with our faces blank,
We may fight each other,
We may hurt one another,
We may never learn, or love,
But we will never be like the Gods above,
Who chained their son,
Who made us run,
From his tsunami of red,
From his mountains of the dead,
Who made us quiver from the cold,
Who made us shiver like the dying old,
Never answer him, clown,
Never listen to him, mime,
Because the Gods wanted their own child,
And then had him exiled.[/I]

hah what the fuck
[QUOTE=thisguy123;51145981]Time was Hippiestation was "The Facepunch server" as it was launched by one of us and run by a few of us but over time it's evolved into it's own sorta thing.
You see people here play on everything from goon, to hippie to /vg/(not to be confused with /tg/) Colonial Marines, sometimes paradise and... [I]eurgh...[/I] [I][U]Citadel.[/U][/I]
On to a sadder note, for fun today i asked the admin on hippie if I could trade my TC for something fun during a Double Agents round. The Admin suggested a pet laser shark and that sounded funny as fuck, so after giving up my TC I said hello to ol' Sharky my new best friend. We headed to science to get a stunprod and some cablecuffs and.... a traitor robotisict had an emagged sec borg which shot a welding fuel tank nearby, killing sharky instantly and I died in crit shortly after.
I wasn't angry, just sad, and mostly sad for the chap who got to play as a laser shark for all of thirty seconds.[/QUOTE]
Was that the same round that the laser shark turned up at the end of the round with the jaws theme playing and killed everyone on the shuttle?

My favorite ss13 story that happened to me
[quote]My best memory from a multiplayer game has to be this one time in ss13.
I like to play a disgruntled medical borg who wants to main and kill everyone around him, but he can't due to his laws. (This has gotten me killed so many times, despite me correctly stating my laws)
Anyways, I'm doing my thing when a man in full syndicate gear approaches me. He presents his ID and proves to me he's the roboticist. He emags me and removes my laws. He tells me to quietly kill as many people as I could, but if he was questioned he'd rat me out. I told him I'd rat him out too. We had an understanding and went our separate ways.
So I'm tricking all these people to follow me into the maintenance tunnels and then either killing them with one of my weapons, or just blowing them out of the airlock.
Eventually I hear over the intercom that my pal the roboticist has gone nuts and it killing people in the break room.
I zip over to the room to help my buddy out when the escape shuttle is called. I ignore it and head to him.
I find him standing on a table surrounded by bodies. I tell him about my body count and he's surprised but he's like "well cool dude. Lets get to the escape shuttle, we're gonna be the only survivors." SO me and him book it, stunning and murdering anyone who gets in out way. He gets injured, and I'm pretty damaged by all this fighting, but we make it.
We're then greeted by a group of syndies, one of whom has the same ID as the roboticist.
That one orders me to kill the real roboticist, and I have no choice but to comply.
I tell him through my robotic tears that he was the only organic I wanted to spare. He just said "I know bro" as I launched him into space.
Before I can think of a way to get revenge, the syndies start talking about how they are going to get the nuke codes or something, when a fucking assistant shows up with a bomb and blows us all the fuck up. The round ended soon after.[/quote]
Just watched the SS13 Review video in the Videos section and was looking to give it a try. I get that it has a steep learning curve and what not.
I've been reading the Wiki for general Setup and Job roles, I know the Assistant is a must for the first few rounds and then start branching off to minor jobs (Janitor and Miner seemed like they weren't too bad.).
Going to ghost watch some rounds and see how it plays out. The text chat looks really confusing.
Enjoy the hopeless confusion while it lasts

It's a bit like dwarf fortress in that regard, once you understand what the interface means it's really rather easy and ss13's interface is a cakewalk compared to Dwarf Fortress'
Good starting jobs from assistant and other civilian roles are,
Cargo tech: you'll learn a lot about how to use your inventory there, interact with a machine or two and drag boxes around the station. You'll also be part of an isolationist, fascist, bigoted and borderline racist cult-like entity known as [I]"Cargonia"[/I]. For the most part all you need to do is pull boxes off the cargo shuttle and load the empty ones on. Occasionally ordering tasers and energy guns for sec, Combat shotguns for R&D... it sounds odd but on TG science will give you a blowjob for this as it lets them reach new levels of weapons research and will often-times result in them handing you a self recharging all in one laser gun.
Shaft Miner: I would not utterly reccomend miner because it's actually rather dull but the minerals you provide will let the R&D team build fancy toys, anywhere from a welder with infinite fuel, to a powerful backpack that can hold almost any item of any size, including other backpacks, a wonderful variety of weapons and upgraded mining tools, implants that give you stun-resistance, eliminate the need for food, prevent you from dropping items and X-Ray vision. If you bring back a shittonne of mats and there's a nice guy in R&D he might even give you a mech(tg and tg bases only) which is a power-trip and a half.
Engineer: Tell people you're new and just learn how to build floors and walls, possibly wire the solars, leave setting up the large chunk of exotic phsyics-defying matter/Hellspace inferno/Giant electrical anomaly/Literal fucking black hole engine to someone else. After a couple rounds and having the wiki page open it's not so hard though and actually flipping the switch and watching power course though the station s quite the rush the first time you pull it off.
Janitor: Apply mop to janicart to wet it, Apply wet mop to bloody floor to clean it, place down sign and silently point at it any time someone slips over. Not the most useful of jobs unless there's as blood transmitted infection going around OR it's a wizard round and he decided to unleash a slaughter demon, which is an utterly horrifying creature that can use blood to teleport around the station at will. And with your mop you can render it near helpless.
Custodial can be pretty fun actually, attach a buffer to your zamboni and zoom around the station with an extinguisher, become a hero while the place falls apart.

Most R&D teams and Janitors forget that a cheap item the protolathe can make turns the janitors bitchin' ride to work the same way as a janiborg. It's rather amazing, and makes for some great chill-out time.
Ask for a "Floor Buffer upgrade" on /tg/ codebases.
I remember when Janicarts used to work in space, IDK why they decided to take that feature out.
reminder if you're using a secway without 3 fire extinguishers in your backpack you're doing it wrong

No it's dead pretty much, I just used an album art I took from the game's engine for this.

A shame but it's unsurprising...

Because they all look at their favorite server, say "I'm gonna make that into a better game", and then get about 10% through adding all the fuckton of features before they realize just how much work its gonna be to add everything else(Every server uses its own code base that has developed over the past 10-13 years, but nobody who wants to make neo-SS13 seems to realize this), instead of stopping at just the base game and releasing the source code so people can modify shit for their own servers like actual SS13.
Is there a discord server and do you guys group up and play together? I'd like to try and re-learn this but I'd prefer to play with people from fp.

I doubt it considering that using external programs for contact during SS13 is heavily frowned upon
I mean you could do it as long as you manage to not rattle away vital information
A friend sent me [URL="https://67.media.tumblr.com/38cd6a1773573558b8b89e8d3d8e6632/tumblr_o4v21ojkOP1qzezhmo1_1280.jpg"]this image.[/URL]

I don't mind hanging out in a discord playing SS13, just hit me up on steam or something.
So I had a neato latejoin roboticist traitor round today, I hid the recycler in such a way that anything travelling though disposals would go though it. I then set up two chutes in the hallway to escape and put airlocks over them. Funfact if a disposal chute is under an airlock the chute takes precedence and you "disappear" into a door into the disposals pipes. I then died to six beartraps on the same tile... which was also funny but I think my kill-count was impressive enough.
[IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9488680/Grinderofdoom.png[/IMG]
Reminds me one time on Hippie when I was an admin for a little while, some guy stunned and threw another guy into disposals. Someone turned on the treadmill for some reason before that and at that time, the recycler gibbed anything that came into it, even if it was a stunned player.
So I bwonk'd the guy to deal with him, but he was such a condescending bastard that he dismissed the accusations at first and later disposaled himself to prove that no one could have died from this. While true, he was able to save himself like any other player, but the fact is he had this other guy paralyzed long enough for him to be gibbed.
In any case I got sick of him and another player who was in disposals room for some reason him screamed, "THE RECYCLED JUST LUNGED AT THE HOP!!" into the radio.
No ban was needed.
WHAT HAVE I DONE
