Nice job to the admins on the changeling resurrection.  That was really cool.

How are things going over here? I've been gone a while, and this game is just stupid enough to entertain me.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Well, there's blood all over medbay, the lawyer wants to be borged, half the staff is catatonic, and there's a disemboweled body in genetics. Not to mention the engineers asking me to look after their wills, so yea. Pretty normal

And yet in extended the most excitement we had was a meteor swarm taking out the access and escape arms.  It was a good chance to brush up on my construction skills though.

Well, extended can be uneventful especially with the strict rules (which is the only real drawback to what would normally be a fun mode) but secret or traitor modes on a Wednesday can get pretty hectic as people struggle to fuck stuff up, with in rp context, before having to go (presumably for homework or work)

Got bored last round as Chief Engineer and kept a log on my clipboard.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Chief Engineer's Log: 0745Z
Just got the PA engine running.  Conner working on solars, almost done.  A bit mouthy to the
captain...Not sure I like this fellow, but he does good work.

Chief Engineer's Log: 0800Z
Conner finished up solars, put him on downtime for the night.  Cap'n is asleep, along with MD
at her desk.

Chief Engineer's Log: 0815Z
RD reported med emergency in Xeno, had to break into R&D.  Found him just inside the
doors...said something about "infected".  Now we just got a un-IDed lifeform warning...what the
hell is going on?

Chief Engineer's Log: 0830Z
RD being cared for in medbay, seems to think he's dying.  Ship is otherwise quiet.  Going to
make the rounds and kick solar output on.

Chief Engineer's Log: 0840Z
Solars are on the grid, and we have a 110% safety margin.  RD seems to have settled down; may
be in for a quiet night after all.

Chief Engineer's Log: 0850Z
Geez, I'm bored.  Found creepy robot porn in the library's fiction...wonder what the hell he
keeps in his "special" section.  Ran into Conner and chatted for a bit, he seems happier than
he was.  Maybe I didn't give the fellow enough credit.

EPILOGUE (posthumous):  Conner blew us all to shreds.  He does good work.

what I don't really like about extended is that at the first minor issue the shuttle are called and ship abandoned.

granted, there is the problem that one the station gets leaky it's quite impossible to fix due the current plumbing layout, but I'd like just once to see a meteor swarm handled by everyone suiting up, bracing at center, fixing the hull, pumping the air and have a beer instead of 'omgshuttletnxbyegg'

[kg333]

The issue is that a lot of people don't like extended, and are more than eager to end it. So, they wait for something, ANYTHING to happen, and then they call the shuttles. Rather disappointing. Extended rounds can.... well, I once stayed up for 7 hours, throughout the entire night, for a single Extended round.

Pretty much this.  Extended can be a lot of fun if you like to RP, but without that, there's not a lot to it, so people tend to dislike it.  I've noticed it seems to work best when an admin is on and throws stuff at the players every so often to keep them on their toes.

It's not that extended is fun if you like RP, it's that the exciting rp typical of ss13 arises as a result of there being an antagonist. Without any kind of antagonist, the RP is very weak, and without conflict there's little story.

[LoSboccacc]

there are plenty of non player antagonists: meteors, viruses, player errors.

the problem is not lacking of challenge in extended, but lacking of will to fix up the mess thereafter.

even having the neons broken is a valid reason to abandon station and be done with the turn!
