SS13 is being one of Urists from Dwarf Fortress, except this time there is noone around to fix your screw ups and murder dissapear those retarded nobles. If there was someone to document this, it would be an awesome social experiment.

I should be a journalist and just focus on writing about the BS going on in the rounds.

[Kot]

You will get dissapointed, people usually don't want to read about BS when there is BS going around. You would have to gain attention of very circlejerk-rp person that is capable of having one huge talk about their background through one three-hour shift, despite their superiors yelling at them for not doing things done (Medbay whores nurses, eh). Unless you mean writing the BS down OOCkly, then it's fine, because we always enjoy a good story.

Yeah, the correct way to play Journalist is to walk around, snapping photos of literally everything, then releasing them as news items, comically misinterpreted. Maybe you could add one or two quote-mined passerby comments to it, but god forbid you actually take interviews to have any sort of clear picture of your news.

Unless you're on a heavy-RP server. Then you should act like an actual journalist.

Cover sports events. Include random beatings as sports events.

I was talking about meta writing, actually.

My way of being a journalist is writing about nearly everything as big problem, which heads and security cant solve.
Several fights between crewmembers, crime rates going up. Will the security do anything?
Glass broken in brig, syndicate strikes swiftly and our security force fails to prevent it. How can you feel safe in this world?

Most glorius thing you can do is to out the unsuspecting changelling in your news. Then he suddenly gets swarmed by newspaper readers.

i should type up the story of how i went from being a single nurse spider in xenobio to the entire station being flooded with spiders and admins yelling at me for almost crashing the server with spiderling lag

That's actually a pretty good idea - if you want to OOC journalize, play a Journalist IC. You don't need to bother with the IC crap nobody will read, but you have a plausible reason to be in places where round crap happens so you can witness it personally.

Once, an AI let me in its core to take a picture of it.

[Aseaheru]

 You mean it dident have stock photos for that?

[scrdest]

You mean it dident have [EXPUNGED] for that?

After the Great Shutterstock War, the... photographic materials that should remain unnamed were banned forever to spare the humanity another such horror. The destruction it wrought and wartime research directly encouraged human expansion into space.

[SOLDIER First]

I've looked at Cogmap 2.0 and Belt Hell looks awesome and the delivery method looks extremely fucking angerous. Make sure not to stand in front of the doors, kids!

Looks like the Urist library archives have been wiped, RIP our memes.
