I'd like to play.  I heard about it again the other day and reading all about it has me interested, and stories of horrifying admins brought me here.

Is there room for a total newbie?  It sounds like the kind of game where learning to put your shoes on may be fatal.

Even BS12 (which is the most strict) is fine as long as you're not a dick and randomly killing people, they will cut you some slack for being new. Other servers are less strict and on the goonstation servers you can pretty much run around doing whatever you want all the time as long as you don't blow anything up or kill anyone.

You're probably using it wrong.... most people think you set the timer and drop/throw it but that's not how it works - you have to place it (click it on a wall, the floor might work too not sure) and wait while you set it up - it takes like 5 - 10 seconds or something, then RUN because it's armed after you finish setting it. Don't feel too bad, I made the same mistake the first time I tried it :p

I was setting the timer (10 seconds), setting the bomb, then running off. Nothing happened after several minutes.

Alright, I'll try it out later tonight and see if I can't stay alive.

Try the Red Dwarf server, if you want to try it with a small group of people, try the others for big groups and varying levels of chaos.

NOTE: the BS12 servver I come from dose NOT have electritions

Well the game already has such overpowered ways to kill people that people have invented whole systems of metagaming, accepted by the community and justified because it is so powerful, in order to handle it (since if you didn't... games wouldn't be fun)

So yeah... the AI can kill people quite effectively to my knowledge on its own.

Depends on your server. Red dwarf it's really hard to kill some one as the ai.

[Micro102]

The AI can already has the ability to see through walls with perfect clarity, mess with almost every system on the ship and has little better to do than constantly tattle on traitors. The blasted thing is powerful enough as is. Leaving it mildly vulnerable to a competent spacefaring engineer is one of the game's few nods towards the notion of balance in its dealings with the AI.

Keep in mind that I actually favor the removal of the AI role. It's so hard to have a good traitor round with even a semi-competent AI.

It's not mildly vulnerable. If someone has the right equipment and want to kill the AI, they WILL kill the AI. There is nothing the AI can do to stop him.

Had a really silly round on /tg/.

>Get full access from HoP to deal with the situation myself
>Immediately get pounced on by 15 security officers
