My connection dropped just as I set up the engine, and then the actual SERVER crashes? God.

About setting up the engine…  Yeah you kind of forgot to turn down the Particle Accelerator.

In my defense, I also had to micromanage the plasma I accidentally filled Engineering with. >.< And I would've done it, except CONNECTION FAILED.

Yeah, connection errors are always annoying.

Have you ever forgotten you were holding a plasma tank and turned on your internals? It's best when this happens AS you turn on the Singuloth.

Oh all the time. I've started manually turning on my air tank now, at least while in engineering. Well, I had started. I really should play again...

Nothing says "competence" like seeing an engineer in engineering at round start with gas mask on for inside work.

server is back up

Yeah, some people are kinda ridiculous. It takes an immediate threat to THEIR life to get them to call it.

Honestly I think it's the opposite - alot of people are ridiculous in how early they are willing to call the shuttle.

From an ingame viewpoint the station is probably expensive and NT would want you to try and salvage it if possible. Give how horrible of a company they are made out to be... it's probably not good times for the people who called the shuttle without a VERY good reason (and probably not good times even if there was a good reason).

But from a metagame perspective it just means a new round and either greentext if you're traitor, or a chance to be traitor if you're not... so some people call it the instant someone stubs their toe.

[BigD145]

For a traitor they need to spend as little time as possible on station once they have fulfilled their mission. Any time spent sitting on their hands is time they can be caught/killed. It's not meta for them. They want to be gone.

_{I try to be reasonable IC for calling the shuttle}

[BigD145]

I need to turn traitor back on. I'm bad at it, or rather I'm bad at causing the shuttle to be called within 2 hours. I'm also bad at tracking the traitor keywords. With a higher pop that first thing is not as much a problem but the second thing is made worse. I need to work on that second thing because collaboration makes the game interesting.

I have no problem when a traitor calls it, but honestly I feel that people should feel more lenient and at least attempt to extend the round.

But a lot of the time the crew will call the shuttle because of some minor thing. I have been in rounds where someone set the bar on fire and the shuttle got called. The bar.

Well when you've got fire near the booze stockpile you want to make sure no one's close enough for the explosion to hit them.

Lack of booze is a reason to call the shuttle.

Spoiler: The misadventures of C.O.N.F.U.S.E.D. (click to show/hide)

I love playing as C.O.N.F.U.S.E.D., especially when I actually amuse other people!  Was owned by the warden, who immediately saw the HoS dragging a dead body out of maint.  Later, the warden was gunned down, so the CE took me.  We set up a single solar array since the admins fired the power laser, and he proceeded to find and yakkety sax away with the HoS's corpse, which was found burned to death in his cell, pointing at the detective.  The CE gets arrested so the detective takes me, and we proceed to just kind of dick around for a while, before stumbling into the library to discover Hector was stockpiling donuts.  Four full boxes of them.  After eating enough to become fat and stealing the rest, I pointed out how Kert told Hector that 'It is time" over the radio, and took it as evidence he was part of a diabetic blood cult.  After snooping for a while, I suggested breaking into the teleporter room to search the locked-down bridge, which went poorly because, after spitting us in maint a few times, and then three spaces away many more times, the hand tele dropped us in space.  She desperately tried teleporting back I suggested throwing something so she did...and we drifted diagonally southwest.  We hit the derelict, and I proceeded to just ramble for EVER until round end with a split personality of myself, apparently to the amusement of the detective's ghost.  The detective received 4 PDA messages, despite not even ME being able to send her any.  I got a single spam message about some romantic comedy, which led me to deduce the station was abandoned due to the local AI evolving into a spambot, before wondering if I was manufactured by an enemy of nanotrasen. The warden was never cloned, so I got greentext, despite my many prayers to Robocop being unanswered.  The end.
