I want to come back and play some ss13 again. I haven't played at all in about a year. I used to run the red dwarf server with Googlplexed. I like serious RP but it seems all the RP servers only do extended mode. I guess this is a new trend. Any one got some good server suggestions.

So much for my first time as traitor blew my self up on trying to set up a distraction.

[Scelly9]

Sound like a good distraction.

Baystation12 is going well, and is not dead.


server and forums are still at http://baystation12.net

Heyy, long time no see Zaph.

I can indeed confirm that Baystation12 actually doesn't do Extended that often. Most of the time it's just because of the commonly-picked "Secret" gametype, which has it choose a random gametype (well, not all gametypes are pickable by secret, but some are) so you won't know what you're in for until you see it happen. Otherwise Traitor (or more often Extend-a-traitor-mongous, in which people are made traitors if previous ones die, so there's always at least one Traitor in the crew) is often the norm.

The problem with mongoose is that BS12 is a little too hard on antag rules, to be honest. Unless they're specifically told they can blow something up or kill someone, it's seen as griffing. This tends to mean that traitor rounds turn into extended unless the antags decide to do something big, and even then, the general fuckuppery of station life overpowers the taters anyway.

I remember playing one match where my objective was to kill the CE. Instead of an explosive implant, I sleepy penned her and then dragged her into her office. When she woke, I told her to give me the station blueprints and then organise a free trip off the station in the escape shuttle which was at the other end of the station, giving security plenty of chance to ambush me along the way.

The kidnapping went well, then the HoS showed up. Fast forward through twenty minutes of talking and a total lack of acknowledgment of the obvious terrorist threat to the station, and the HoS pulled out a gun and stunned me (despite the fact I had a needle to the CE's throat with one hand and a bomb in the other). After dragging me to the prison, he gave me a lethal injection and shot me out the airlock.

That was about when I stopped playing.

Better than most shitcurity though. They would've ordered a Durand just to get you.

Last week I went back to the Baystation to see how things are, I played two extend/traitor rounds and had a very good time,

I'm looking forward to putting another round in when I'm home again tonight. woo!

edit: PS, I blame PlumphelmetPunk for recording more SS13.

I guess I'll check out bs12 again then. I went on last weekend and it was extended. It was kind of late at night though. But there were about 12 people on. I just assumed it was perma extended like the other RP servers. Is that mars station server still going?

When was this? Because we're actually fairly lenient on the Antags these days. As long as your actions have a decent reason (helping achieve your objectives, etc.), you're usually in the clear. Letting admins know if you have the time beforehand can help clear up any confusion that may or may not arise, but even if you don't and go through with what you're doing, if they don't ask you don't have to tell. Random murderboner will still get you in big trouble, but you can get away with killing several people in self-defence if that's what things come to.

And another thing, that was very poor RP from the HoS and you probably should've adminhelped about him. We frown upon Play2win attitudes like what that HoS exhibited.

Yeah, you probably just joined on when there weren't many people on, we often get 30+ people during the day, even 50 at one point.

As for the Mars Station, no idea. It was pretty dead last i checked, but that was ages ago so for all i know it's populated again.

Learning how to play, I picked a mostly empty server. I figured out why it was empty! Apparently the station is mostly destroyed. But hey, I made it to a safe place, with a crowbar and a mask. So... I take it thats not what the game is supposed to be?

[Alkhemia]

hmm heard some nasty thing about baystation lol also not a fan of having to ask to blow stuff up seem like it would take the fun out of the game.

[Cassandra]

Speaking as someone who is on a server that has been blown up... Who's losing the fun if things aren't being destroyed constantly? I know I'd rather not have to sprint through corridors with an oxygen mask.

Recently started playing on the Baystation 12 under the most original name ever that is totally not a ploy off my forum name. The most fun I've had as of late has been an "Everything went wrong" situation where a Syndie Bomb squad with Death Squad equipment starting murdering everyone. I was head of Security at the time, and it was a lot of fun.

In fact, I am REALLY enjoying the Baystation12 server in general. Lots of fun stuff happens there, even when nothing is happening.
