Injected Acid: Delayed effect, instant gratification.

The strange part about this is that Stange was Freshmaniscoolman and we had a conversation about he is going to die or not going to die and when he wanted to mutilate my body he died because of the syringe with acid that I shot into him with the syringe gun while I was chief medical officer that I made with chems from chem lab.

On Solars, no, but it works great when you need to fix wires that run next to or under walls. I usually never find use of it either.

Yeah, I'm still trying to work out wiring outside of the relatively simple solar arrays.

On a related note, do shields (from shield generators) seal in atmosphere? Or just seal out baddies?

Chemistry, with a competent Chemist, is an utterly horrifying department. Security? Chloral (Or Poly acid) smoke grenade, then metal foam grenade. Locked doors? Thermite + Welding tool. Borg? EMP bomb. AI? Thermite + EMP bomb + more Thermite. Assistants? Mindbreaker Toxin Smoke Grenade (Or Space Drugs smoke grenade.)


Also, I find it interesting how often we have appendicitis on this station. I've had emergency appendectomy performed on me by a changeling detective and a tripping-balls Chief Engineer, I've performed emergency appendectomy on the Captain as the HoP, I've guided surgery on the Captain and Mime as an AI, and I tried to perform some sort of eye-restoring surgery on Garrett Digson but someone horribly murdered him before I could get back through the space vines.

Indeed, especially a late night admin (I'm thinking late night GMT -6 for reference.) or two.

Oh, and votes are broken. very broken.

Votes are only broken PRE-ROUND. Let a round start then run votes to your heart's content. Also, looking to add admins?

I PM-d KG earlier and am waiting for him to respond.
I dunno yet.

If you're still talking about voting being borked, its a problem with the TG code, not with the server. I should have clarified that in my earlier post.

[choppy]

i am up for it.

[Scelly9]

I'd also be up for it. I'm in GMT -6, and usually on until 2 or 3 in the morning.

After reading some of the more macabre adventures described in this thread, my interest has over taken me and now I'm ready to try this out.
Two questions though:

• Do you guys go easy on new players, or do I need to find somewhere to train?
• Any tips for aforementioned new player?

1. As long as you aren't a reliance to the whole station (IE, don't pick security, engineering, medical, or any commanding position), then even the most unforgiving player shouldn't harass you. I recommend your first job be bartender or cook. They're very good jobs to ease you into the RP, and you can get a grasp for the UI. Or you can pick janitor if you don't want to interact with people for your first couple games.
2. Use adminhelp if you have any questions, well if a (friendly) admin is on anyway. Avoid talking about the game in OOC chat, and don't take things too seriously. If someone blows your head off, don't rage in the OOC chat. If you have a good admin, he'll see the combat report and act accordingly. Oh, and don't use smileys in IC chat. I don't know why, but that bugs people a lot.

READ THE WIKI.
Thats basically all the tip you need, for any non-AI job that has a guide. (AI you just have to learn as you go how it works, as far as I've seen). Don't start as a Head though, or Captain, unless you know what you're doing.

Some assorted other tips:
Right click stuff. Theres a lot of things you can do inside the right click menu, including the (most of the time) awesomely useful Examine.
Tab is activate hotkeys mode. This lets you use WASD for movement (default is arrow keys), Q to drop things, R to throw things, X to switch hands, T to bring up a Say window, etc. THeres a verb in one of the tabs that gives you the full list 'o hotkeys it allows.
Ctrl+click on something to pull it without needing to right click and click pull. Quite useful in Cargobay.
:h is a default department radio thing for the say verb. For the actual department radio letter, examine your headset, For the general channel, use semicolon (;).

1) I'm very new, and people haven't been tearing chunks off me - and the OOC channel's usually a good place to ask for help (as long as you don't give away too much IC information by doing so). 

2) Read the TGStation wiki.  Has seriously helped me out loads.

Just had a fun round playing as the chef, who proceeded to whip up plenty of pizza and cheesecake until a blob exploded through the back wall of the kitchen.  Rest of the crew fought it off, then power went down, and atmospherics, and it turned into a mad scramble to the escape shuttle/pods as the singularity escaped.

Kudos to whoever was the mime.

Sometimes, good engineers are nice.

Sometimes, less than competent engineers leave hilarious side-effects.

Absent-minded engineers are great.

Let's see... Have I finished everything...

Set up the SMAC, check.
Loaded and activated the radiation collectors... check.
Activated the containment field... check.
Fixed and activated the particle accelerator... check.

Alright then, all I have left to do is switch this accelerator up to 2, and we should be set for power.

*click* *click*

All set. Now for some lunch.

.........

And hilarity ensues.

Ah that was a fun round. Suddenly the roboticist arrives in a Ripley and says, "I'll kill the blob!" Then does so.
I was AI, I had activated the panic syphons, hoping the air loss would stop the blob from expanding. But the Roboticist destroyed the blob core within a couple minutes. Good times.

No problem
