I need to get back into SS13 again - was really enjoying it during my last burst of games. 

How do people tend to RP repeated characters i.e. the same character in separate rounds?  Does anybody do it?

I've sometimes been tempted to assume that my character remembers previous rounds as different 'job placements' (although doesn't remember the people there, as most people treat new rounds as whole new realities and, obviously, there's a danger of metagaming if you allow for too much recall).

I had a personal rule that if my character died in a round, I wasn't allowed to play that character again in any future rounds.  Permadeath SS13, I guess.

Yeah, characters are mostly recurring. Actually, I think very few people play a new character each round. The general rule is that you can remember anything except things that would grant you meta-knowledge.

So, let's say that at the beginning of a Nuke round you and some other people threw a great party, then the station got nuked, the following rounds you are free to reminisce about the party with other people, but you CANNOT know about Nuke Ops.

E: Eight people on. Somehow. Come over, it's Seekrit.

We leave it up to the interpretation of the player as long as they RP it, but I'll grab the actual policy on it.

Persistent character relationships are acceptable, so long as they're roleplayed out every round. Due to things like the station blowing up and people dying, inconsistencies can occur, so it is up to you to roleplay it out, just so long as it's logical. Wordlessly assisting your OOC friends (or harming your OOC foes) ICly is NOT cool and will be addressed harshly. Roleplaying out your interactions will help you stay on the right side of the rules. How much or how little of previous "shifts" your character recalls is up to their discretion, with the caveat that being a known traitor doesn't persist past the round it occurred in, and your character is unaware of "meta-knowledge" such as changelings.

Oh, BTW: GLLOOOOOOOOYD! I know what you did with the code!

Hm? What about the code? I've done a lot of things with it

I mean a certain recent addition. Which I wholly support, especially since you merged some fun recent /tg/ things, but you didn't mention adding it in the slightest in the thread itself.

[Aseaheru]

To the code diving!

There was a poll on the server running for a whole week, over thirty people voted... I've announced it on the server dozens of times, haha. I only finally finished it yesterday morning though, and haven't had a chance to post it here yet

EDIT: For those who don't know what I'm talking about, I added the psychologist job as voted for by the playerbase. I'll post more about it when I have a chance.

Oh, I thought you meant the automatic news bits...

I am going to prescribe ALL the medicinal marijuana.

Oh, I forgot about it. That's been sitting there untouched for almost a year now. Horribly outdated, and non-functional. I'll probably just delete it and start from scratch, if I do decide to continue with it.

And it may even be legal... Hmm...

Please continue it. The news is quiet these days... Throw in some S-com guff? You know, like how the new one has things at the bottom of the map room, or how xenonauts has some things talking about UFO activity.

Or not, depending on the station heads/admins. Minor hijinks may ensue.

[Aseaheru]

Right, what is the drying rack?

[BigD145]

'Yo, maaaaaan. You like, totally need medicinal ambrosia!'
'I HAVE TOXIN DAMA- GLORF!'
'EAT THE FUCKING AMBROSIA!'

You just have to administer more drugs to address the bad things in other drugs. That's how medicine works.
