SS14 - All Ghost Roles Explained

[@Liltenhead]

While this guide is fairly comprehensive, if in doubt, please ahelp before you do something drastic as a role.

[@mikakuhn958]

You forgot the Cak (cake cat)

[@ConnorDaly-n7c]

Do any guides cover the content in the marine vs xenomorph server?

[@boof6009]

A little Rat King tip. When you "cheese em" you can point at someone and all your rats servants that are close enough will gang up on that person.

[@Liltenhead]

That's cool, had no idea.

[@CommanderM117]

if i ever play rat king or skeleton just going to turn em into the mafia.

[@mastermage23]

Listen, cognizine gave me one of the best rounds of my SS time. Pun-Pun had been fed a bit of Cog and decided to make more (valid since the first bit made him "slightly" smart). Worked in botany with me, as I was the lone botanist.Eventually he could speak in a broken but understandable manner and ended up running the Chem department for the rest of the round. Hamlet, meanwhile had been delighting the crew so much the captain OFFICIALLY stepped down and let Hamlet take over (likely as gag). Pun-Pun then served Hamlet some cog, making him sentient and caused him to deliver speech after speech, actually running the station in full. Then I died to the DUMBEST traitor I ever saw, who got pranked by his fellow syndie who told him he could deep-fry a grenade like any other weapon. Botany and Kitchen blew to kingdom come...but that was fine with me: I got to watch the Nukies land soon after who did their best to kill off Sec and the crew...only to fail because Hamlet coordinated shit. The best captain I ever served under...and he was a hamster.

[@ZigealFaust]

That sounds like me, lol. Cap gave me sunglasses and a hat and told me I was cap then someone gave me cog and i straight up was spying on the syndies, bitting them, then leading them into sec death squads one by one.

[@mikaelpalm1862]

Some of the best sessions i have had has been as Pun-Pun and i think that's down to basically playing him as the mime and using emotes and the occasional "Oook!" to create conversations with the crew.

[@beatrix.21886]

This is why space station exists

[@scottmacgregor3444]

Hey I was part of that round. Started off as a Service worker, but the chef didn't want me around, so I basically wound up being a gopher shuttling stuff around to various departments. I got bombed or killed several times, but kept getting brought back at the shambles of medical to the point where the doctors complained about the resources I was eating up. I got my first nukie kill too when I ran into a vacuum and magdumped one that was healing after killing a sec officer I'd kinda bonded with. Got critted but dragged out by a Grey tider... Who promptly looted me and left me to die.

[@mastermage23]

@@scottmacgregor3444 The tide giveth, the tide taketh....and then taketh more to tide even harder. Glad you got your first nukie down, I think I saw you get bombed in the corner of my eye when passing near botany. Never expected though to be killed by a genius syndie trying to deepfry a bomb...

[@undefinedse]

my favorite skeleton closet moment ive ever had is when i spawned in the rd office and just claimed that i was a previous rd that ive just woken up from a very long “nap”

[@Liltenhead]

I'd accept you as the new RD

[@catfoodbob1]

Was playing a sentient artifact that not only sets people on fire but heals them massively as well, made it very hard for someone to assasinate the Rd cause they kept getting back up for some reason.

[@Dankadamas]

>3 Minutes In >Be Observer >Be Hamlet >Get Tossed Out Into Space >5 Minutes In

[@Liltenhead]

Average hamlet experience.

[@shroomer3867]

Spawn in as hamlet, Be honorary crew, Be captain level of authority Get merked by nukies

[@teetree6661]

Tip for Revenant: You can hide inside walls while you take someone's soul. This is great for just annoying Medical all shift, it's hilarious, however it's likely unintentional. They can also use the malfunction ability to emag shuttle, however this is really annoying for everyone.

[@Liltenhead]

Being inside the wall is definitely unintended and already a reported issue. Also shuttle emag was removed

[@blissseeker4719]

​@@Liltenhead how is that consistent with this game's logic? And shuttle just gets bombed usually anyway

[@spookymulder6911]

One time i respawned as ian and nonverbally manged to convey to HOP i wanted a translator by leadding him to it. I then proceeded to make a cult and commondeer the ship from captain and have him executed. Then i demanded a great feast of treats fit for me, the great khan ian. Those who did not pay tribute were given sky burials. My reign was cut to an end near the end of the round as a cowardly assassin from cargonia struck me down. Long live ian

[@Badbadgerboy]

2:00 (Deletes rat with God powers) Proceeds to continue explaining.

[@incendiarycrocs7449]

Pretty sure I was that Smile on a shift ages ago with you, did tricks with the tophat and a crowbar until some security stole it from me!

[@Liltenhead]

I did find your top hat though!

[@NonName425]

There is an unidentified corpse in the game, you can save him and give him cognizine (or whatever it was called), in which case he will become a full-fledged member of the station’s crew.

[@vyxzuw768]

Smile the Slime can drink fluids on the floor, and can serve as a minor janitor.

[@whips2783]

1:59 poor mouse…. Sent to the abyss

[@stardust-reverie]

whenever i get a pest role (hamlet included i guess lmao) i have to keep my insatiable urge to chug the arith jug under an iron grip

[@Blackern5000]

some advice for aspiring revenants (my favorite ghost role despite the unfinished-ness) - While corporeal you'll have a status on the side of your screen telling you how long you'll be corporeal for using a circular meter. - While corporeal you can still phase through any door, just not walls, blast doors don't count I believe. - You can harvest while inside a window to become immune to attacks. - You can talk while invisible or not, and nearby crew can hear you in the chat tab, so if there's a revenant on station near you you'll see *The soul of violent laughter*: "AHAHAHHAHA HA HAHAHAHAHHA AHHAHAHAHHAHA", haunt to your heart's content! - revenants can harvest from people who are crit, dead, or ASLEEP, so if dorms is full of people who left and aren't coming back you've got an easy emag ability. - Your essence is your HP, when someone damages you it damages that, and it regenerates slowly, but it is also the energy you use for your abilities, so using emag (60 essence) while at 61 essence means literally anything will immediately kill you, keep an eye on that number and don't get TOO risky in your problem causing. - Someone punching you while you're harvesting a soul will stun you momentarily and cancel the harvest, this stun makes you very VERY vulnerable to being damaged. - Someone can drag a person you're harvesting away from you to prevent you from getting the essence, but this doesn't stun you and make you vulnerable like punching does and it only applies once they get 2 tiles away from you. - Harvesting a soul does a ton of damage to the person being harvested. - You can't harvest someone twice, and another revenant can't harvest from someone you already harvested, even if they're revived and brought to crit/dead, but if two revenants start harvesting from the same person at the same time they'll both get the stolen essence. - Stealing essence also gives you extra maximum essence, meaning if you steal dozens of souls then you'll be extremely tanky along with being able to cause chaos. - Stealing essence adds essence to your current total, and can also give you essence OVER your maximum. - The revenant can emag ANYTHING, do with this what you will. - Something funny I like doing as revenant is letting prisoners free, it causes problems for sec and said prisoner can kill people to get you more essence. A syndie and a revenant make a powerful combo. - Don't try to attack the captain, their sword will rip you apart faster than you can shock them with the lights.

[@Nathan-hl3bp]

Closet Skeleton has been a little tricky on our server when it comes to being a "free agent" like rat king. Haven't quite figured out what restrictions/goals they should have as of yet.

[@shadekage3432]

I had a round where our skeleton was quite friendly, then right in a critical moment of nukies, he lit up all of our backlines with a smg, then got shot to death promptly right after

[@ZigealFaust]

@@shadekage3432 RATTLE EM BOYS!

[@VirtualKota]

Yknow, despite there being a variety of ghost roles not a lot of them tend to pop up, especially in MRP. I kinda hope they'll eventually add the whole hotel/tribe thing to the game, it'd be nice to do something that's still "crew-like" after you're removed from the round. I dunno, maybe that's just me.

[@Nemesis-crest]

Sentient artifacts are fun God of explosion are remembered and fun one was Sad that skeleton cant make singuloose

[@mateushff1445]

Thank you for bringing this video!

[@somerandomserbian7077]

33:13 Minor mistake, they can be made by Science (robotics?), not Cargo, video is now unwatchable

[@Hmeister]

Cargo can still build them, they can create the parts

[@usuariogenerico6140]

Today i play honkbot for first time, good bullyng machine 10/10

[@NotOkarin]

I love your videos, but please. Don’t hide the GUI off. I really wanna see what you’re pointing to. 17:39

[@Liltenhead]

I didn't really cut anything off though

[@crowsenpai5625]

Once played a rebellious Hamlet that joined up with the Rat King

[@spote571]

Can smile drag stuff anymore? I can't seem to be able to.

[@Liltenhead]

Unfortunately not.

[@Werddrewtv]

Dear God, thank you for making this video. I've been looking for a revenant tutorial for like 3 weeks. Also day 35 of asking Liltenhead to unban me in his comments

[@degreescelcius]

okay

[@Pasakoye]

I'm mean pun pun. it a creative havoc kind of way. Grab his id to raid the bar machine, but it back on him when done. His clothes let you run around nude, yet have pockets. Cognazine should be grenade or gas forms only!

Why is the youtube automatic translation for mothroach "MUSH" lmfao

[@Shneeble_McWeevil]

@@HmeisterLMFAO i didnt even notice

[@jamestuck5877]

if only the ghost role choseing was like ss13 and wasent the most painfull thing in existance

[@stanenjoyer1890]

hey, lilten the agent syndicate suit got a revamp

[@Kjackhammer]

If I became a skeleton I would tell the first person I saw: "greetings flesh sack, I require work to keep myself entertained through the millenia!" And would then ask what jobs were available.

[@agustron2479]

Revnants can remember his past life?, i mean there isnt a rule on his role that makes him not do that

[@memewarranty]

I believe it's kinda his quirk, you're the vengeful spirit, be it a random side character or your poor guy rhat rot in security

Does anyone know where to get/find the hand puppets?

Mmmm no. I'ma just play.

[@Liltenhead]

yeah

[@Bruno-dv3ym]

the skeleton in the closet is one of the most fun things ive ever done

[@mickmouse7771]

Ghost

[@artem599]

CAUTION! breaking the box as hamlet is extremely not cool, that would be non-rp, what you should do is squeak, piep and scream, anyone from command nearby will hear you and free you. Also please consider doing what the ghost role tells you, hamlet is a captain's pet, do not just go roam around the station, do not harass science to make you a hmptr as a main prioroty or harass chem or salv to get you cognizine AND MOST OF ALL DONT DO IT THROUGH LOOC, not to mention that there are other shitters that would try to microwave you. Also people VERY oftenly read the Pun Pun ghostrole, and then IMMIDEATLY GO AND GET ANOTHER JOB! this is extremely annoying to see Pun Pun become sentient and the moment he does he just rushes to HoP to become a secoff, Pun Pun is a BARTENDER, not an all in one monkey.

[@BoiledToast_0]

Got it. I will now break into bridge as a secoff pun-pun and microwave the fat hamster. Wish me luck o7

[@tadpolegaming4510]

​@@BoiledToast_0w player

[@DeadlyNightshadeZ]

If Hamlet, or a mouse, is being annoying, I like to stick them in the kitchen grinder. Hearing their panicked squeaks as they realize what is about to happen to them, followed by me drinking a protein smoothy from a beaker, is priceless.

[@artem599]

@@DeadlyNightshadeZ i usually do that as cap after a shitter ghost roles into him and starts biting me and everyone else

[@EpicSwadianGaming]

[@theghostinthemachine]

I am going to play Hamlet, and bite my way out, then chew that decorative tree. It looks so~tasty~! Then I am going to wander around, occasionally biting things that my sister's hamsters have attempted to eat IRL. (shoelaces, cords too close to the ground, lint, bedsheets, fake plants, real plants, the lettuce out of a hamburger (then I need to figure out how to throw up from the grease left on the lettuce making a hamster sick)) Generally acting like a tiny vegetarian garbage disposal. Oh... and wooden furnature. No idea why, but sometimes you will walk into her room and find just... everybody chewing on the legs of that unfinished wooden table. All four Hamhams just gnawing away at the rough hickory legs. And if someone drops veggies on the floor, I will dart for it, if they pick it up then I will chirp and sqeak to communicate that floor veggies are *mine* and this is not acceptable behavior.

[@zacharyo8747]

My hot take is that if you take an antagonist role and then don't antagonize the station you probably deserve a antag role ban. This goes double for traitors who save all their telecrystals to bomb the evac shuttle.
