Had to vanish at the end of the cultist round last night (first ever cultist round for me - yay!), but very much enjoyed it.
However, I noticed what might've been a glitch or might just have been lack of understanding on my end, and would appreciate any clarification:
I was the first person converted by the cultists (apparently - gullible atmos tech here!), and got a book and a page-generating page (forgive my lack of correct terminology). Later, I planted a conversion rune in maintenance and, after luring a fellow tech up to the north-west solars, stunned him with a stun page. I then dragged him onto the rune and clicked it with an empty hand.
It appeared to activate as planned, as I got a message along the lines of "You shout 'Quiet Evil Sealing Rune'" or something similar, and the unfortunate victim acted as if they'd gotten a 'the veil has lifted from your eyes, you now worship the dark lord' message or similar.
However:
1) I didn't as far as I can tell, get any new words for my book - there was no obvious message about a voice from the gods.
2) The now-converted victim didn't actually show up as a cultist on my display - no little green cthulhu icon by their head. Despite this, they acted as if they were converted, which either means they
were converted and it just didn't show for me, or that they weren't converted in-code and were just RPing it (in which case, well played Gary the tech, whoever you were).
This caused me a bit of confusion later on, as I wasn't sure whether the guy was converted or not and obviously didn't want to just
ask him and give the game away! I know I should probably have adminhelped this at the time, but curious if I did something wrong during the conversion or similar.
Different round: atmos tech again, helping with a (malicious) plasma leak in toxins, have managed to clear the main room of toxin/air and need to get into the second room to clear it (no scrubbers), but can't get through the door and don't want to risk ghetto-hacking it (no multitool). So I decide to deconstruct the wall between the rooms. First step: weld the plating off...
Second step: wall is no longer airtight, plasma the other side is at higher pressure than anticipated, and welding torch is still on.
Fire is not friend.
