A revolution lives or dies by the supply department.  If you can get revs into supply, you only need one weapon to get your crates.  Of course, one of the first things that happens in a rev round is all the heads get full access, and they like to snoop around supply for that very reason.

My point is, although the evil heads routine provides good RP reasons for a revolution, it's also the best meta-strategy to win a rev round for the heads.

Supply + engineering and sneak everything out the back door.

Engineering means you have to deal with the CE.  If you're talking about getting an emitter, that means opening secure storage, which means getting into the CEs office (unless he left it open for you).  This also give great opportunity for the AI to catch you on one of the many cameras around.

There've been more evil head rounds where the revs win then the other way around, at least from what I've seen.

How many players does it take for a legit rev round? I'd be interested to see how it works out in a secret game mode, so people don't know there's a revolution until they make a move.  I'd like to play it with LOLflashing allowed too, just to see how it works out.

We had a secret rev round in the last 2 days that had rampant LOLflashing (including someone running up and flashing me in the hallway directly in front of the giant bridge window, while standing next to a security droid, before running off)

The revs were completely disorganized from what I could see, and the rev heads were rather rapidly dispatched.  The lack of RP conversion leaves new recruits directionless.

[Jacob/Lee]

Yeah. Evil heads rally support for the revolution really, really quickly. Makes for some really dramatic overthrows and PACKED trials.

The CE is a Head. You have to deal with them anyway.

EDIT 2: That round with the singulo on the derelict is still going. In the lobby, it says it's been going for 3 hours, but in the singulo notes, it suggests its been going on for at least 10 hours.

I don't think the server processes things when no one is logged in.

What is the proper way to handle a power sink?

As mentioned, you could just connect the singularity to the main grid. I don't *think* it will cause the sink to explode any faster (it's only supposed to drain up to 600k W a tick, which is the normal max output of the engineering SMES), but it will make any power drained inconsequential. And also allow a traitor with insulated gloves to murder people with doors.

This seems like the best course of action to me. You can see on the power monitoring computer that there's something on the station drawing a lot of power, so the obvious course of action is to supply more power.

Just when we were close to developing a new bomb making method,, comms get destroyed and everything goes down
but we will do it, a day!

[Scelly9]

I have no idea what happened. Everything was hooked up, but it still flooded.

[andrea]

pumps were backward.
Also, why were you working with plasma already? did you open anything on canisters? canister valves must stay closed.
next time, I suggest testing with pure oxygen first.

although I am confused. I saw no plasma canisters anywhere. which one was released? what did you try to do?

[Scelly9]

I was using an oxygen canister, and an empty one.

[USEC_OFFICER]

EDIT: not a traitor. Either neglect or RPed idiocy.

Yep. I was the only traitor that round.

Spoiler: What I did as a traitor (For those who are interested) (click to show/hide)

Saw that my objective was to steal the AI and well... Nope. So I put on my mining hardsuit, bought some C4 and bombed telecoms. A quick trip to the armoury got me some energy guns, which I managed to stun the Captain and the CE. Some quickly made cable restrains later and I managed to swipe the Captain's ID/gun. Obviously I had an agent ID to hide from the AI, so I now had full run of the station. Went to engineering, stole some insulated gloves and went on my merry way. I then decided to sneak into EVA and take all the space suits, but forgot to take a multitool, and EVA was locked down tight. I did manage to ambush Isook and take his tool belt, so it was a good trip anyways. After that I started cutting the solars to cause a black-out (an engineering mishap prevented the singularity engine from being set up) for a while and then went to Arrivals for some food. I think the AI must have turned the lights on at some point, because I remember ambushing the QM from the darkness, but later when the Captain and Luna came everything was nice and bright. Or maybe that was two/three separate encounters. I can't remember exactly. The point is that I somehow managed to survive a 3v1 fight while cornered in arrivals, trying to escape through a window. Thankfully windows block stun shots, so I had a nice little fortess to hide behind, and the Captain's laser gun managed to drive off the attackers before I went critical, though it was very close. After some healing, eating and dicking around the shuttle was called, so I headed to arrivals for the pods. However the AI knew I was there, and a security guard quickly came. I managed to stun him, but forgot to make cable restraints, so started whacking on him with my gun. However he managed to get up, at which point I ran through the breach I had made earlier, then swooped back and managed to stun him again, after which I shot him up with the laser gun before hiding outside the pods. Luckily for me he collasped due to the breaches sucking up all the oxygen, so I escaped safely (and then ganked the captain when I got back to the place where the pods go too).

Mind you that's not the entire thing, but it's close enough. I also had a firefight in engineering with some guy in a space suit, killed beepsky, and stumbled into the CE coming back from mining as the shuttle was arriving, taking his hardsuit with me.

I think that was the most robust round I've ever had.

[Jacob/Lee]

I'm cool with you until you hurt my officers or be a clown and vandalize the station. Then you're slime food.
