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.
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.
