i was a part of the oneytide

[@JackindaSack]

this is true, I can confirm

[@ValosarX]

That video was the second video I saw about SS13 and it convinced me to play. The first was a review of the game in general. I haven't been a dick though I think people generally like me though I'm a bit clueless. I have been fucking stabbed in the eye by a screw driver though and now I know why! I did janitor troll during a nuke ops round though by cleaning the floors outside the bar. So many fucking people fell down but hey I put down the signs! They were trying to set up defenses and kept falling dropping tools and shit lmao

[@mikekazz5353]

Chris has released a funny plague, on ss13 and it's kinda good thing I didn't know you can become a clown, it make me want a good PC plus steam fighting games.

[@stoovan3867]

I been through the whole incident. And I never heard anything about Oney hosting fulpstation. As I can remember, we made his own server out of the /tg/ source

[@war2theren227]

My favorite round of SS13 ever was when I played as a Lawyer and the traitors bribed me into rewriting the AI into allowing people to die as legal. I also put in a clause that the AI could only be rewritten by me. Any time one of them got arrested by Security I'd bail them out based on the laws I had written.

[@MrShs812]

SS13 could train killers better than literally any FPS ever made

[@JeffarryLounder]

In SS13, if you are not robust you make it up by pre-planning and intelligently thinking how you're going to carry the attack/ procedure out. As someone who consistently is forced to play in high ping servers because I'm Australian, having to deal with lag in every action I do and losing most fights because of it, it's my go-to approach for taking someone out. Like "leave a banana peel at his only escape route so if he escapes, he slips and I can catch up to him to finish the job" and stuff like that. I really like how creatively it makes you think.

[@Terrakinetic]

I love this story. I listen to it every year.

[@WizardOfThule]

"We go around stabbing people in the eye with screw drivers", that's what I do on a daily basis

As unintuitive and clunky as the hand controls are in SS13, it makes working them out it really exciting. I remember how accomplishing it felt when I managed to figure out how to get the doughnuts out of a doughnut box, after carrying it around for about an hour.

[@tempota7792]

Yeah, the learning curve is a fractal mess, but that's what makes surmounting it feels so good. But, they could have easily just allowed you to keybind LHand and RHand to some keys ffs. There already are hotkeys for so many general actions. Not having bindable L/RHand keys for instant switching or access isat least 50% of what makes this game so gd clunky. Then if we start talking about the Colonial Marine servers where you actually have to survive against Aliens, trying to do split second actions w this control scheme, lmao, yeah, mastering it does legitimately make you a pro at this. I suppose in that way, it's not that much different from Shroud snap shotting someone in CS:GO then, is it?

[@peanutgalery]

I hope I haven't told this story, but around the time oney released the space station 13 video on oneyplays I had downloaded it and joined a random server which had Clown as a job. Naturally I chose that role and ran around pissing everyone off. The best thing about that class is the banana peel. You can put two down in the mail hallway and people cant step on it without falling down. I fucking cried. They ended up throwing me in an air lock and spitting me out into space

[@minecraftwithgadget1848]

I remember my first time playing I did not know how to drop items, so I threw them instead. I was the bartender so did not help at all. The head of personel walk in and just as he did that I acidentaly threw it in his face. I got gunned down and next second I am a robot assistant. 30 min later I start to hear some screaming and it was my own dead body. I got the message "Return to your body" (Something like that) so I tried to kill myself to return to my own body. However I can't hurt myself so I went into space then remembered I am a robot and can't die of oxygen deprovation. Then I get messaged by an admin and he ask why am I in space? Then I am so smart and reply with "My body was screaming so I had to kill myself to enter it because the message would not go away" *Perm Ban* Remember it was my first time so I did not realise I could leave the body any time.

I will gladly play the game to get banned again, its just way too damn fun to fuck with people.

[@tomjensen2572]

Not really, follow the rules, don't grief and you'll be golden. These guys were just being massive shitters and killing people while they're supposed to be civilians. You're only supposed to kill people if you're one of the specific antagonist roles such as traitor.

The only game I recall griefing in was Starsiege. When someone was missile spamming or obviously hacking I'd hop into a Disruptor. It's an absolute piece of junk but it has a weapon that slows others to the point of freezing. It also did a tiny amount of damage, so I would lay into people and slowly turn all their components red, which could take minutes.

"Diabolical tools" hah. Someone hasn't played a botanist at all, what with making super-potent weed and super-potent bananas that leave people on the floor for fifteen seconds instead of eight measily ones. I like how you say that you know the rules, but Chris is still IPB& from all the servers but one for griefing people. The best part is faking being naive and helping out a traitor completing their objectives instead, like that time I was a chemist and made two napalm grenades for a chaplain who wanted to "purge the mutants" and instead used said napalm (as well as a few oxygen+plasma IEDs) to blow up engineering and set the singularity loose, killing absolutely everyone (except for us two and a couple of miners: we went on an extended vacation on the mining checkpoint) Another thing that is funny is when you try to kill someone in plain sight, then security gets you and imprisons you immediately after, the killed person is just going to be cloned and brought back immediately after: it's much simpler than, say, curing radiation poisoning.

Fair game, someone should have stopped you, everyone on the server should have been playing assuming this would happen Like legitimately tell me if I’m just a drooling idiot and don’t get the game

[@arkan5000]

you can't really have assumptions based on irl factors, in the server i play you can only cause chaos if you have a legit in game reason, like if you are an antagonist or your character has brain problems, you can sometimes talk your way out of a troll moment, but you can't just hop in the station as lets say "security" and just start blasting people. Admins will just ban you.

[@elronman]

Youre supppsed to roleplay as the character you choose.

[@pentelegomenon1175]

Basically the game works like a ship simulator, where everyone on the crew has to do their job or things will stop working. So if everyone just griefs instead of doing their job, nothing will work at all.
