SS13: Singularity Below Arrivals Shuttle, Glass Cannon in the Hallways, Oh my! Edition

Welcome to the thread for d20 station, a rules light, medium RP Space Station 13 server.

>What is Space Station 13?
It's a 2D top down atmospherics simulator with who dun it gameplay layered on top. Each crew member aboard the station has a specific job to perform, while a select few are selected to be traitors (assassin/spy/thief).

>Why is this on muh Veeky Forums?
d20 is a server made for fa/tg/uys by fa/tg/uys

>How do I play?
You'll need to download the BYOND client.
BYOND Download link: byond.com/download/
A BYOND account is HIGHLY recommended

>I'm new, and I don't know what the fuck to do. How do I swap hands?
Use OOC (backspace say" in the bottom, type OOC and hit enter, or: i.imgur.com/RodAGGZ.png), which means Out Of Character chat, and ask someone for help on how to play. People will almost always help you get a grip of the game if you're polite about it, just don't reveal too much in-round information in OOC.
There's also wikis dedicated to documenting the spaceman way of life, but they vary widely from server to server.

>What are the rules?
The rules are very relaxed and admins try to take a hands-off approach to administrating. Admins will generally only intervene if someone is explicitly playing to ruin the game. Reminder to read the rules in-game.

>What map/code do you run?
We run a heavily modified Ministation map with mostly custom code. Most jobs on Ministation are merged with similar counterparts and head roles have been re-enabled.

>When does everyone play?
The server is mostly populated with Americlaps, so peak times are usually between 7pm-3am EST

>Who are these tripfags?
Usually admins/coders for the server.

It's happened like 5 times in d20 history I'm sure.

astv is gay

I'm surprised this server is still up. Maybe I'll come hang out, but I'm really hesitant to touch the code, because a lot of stuff has been added with no input and I'm scared of what spaghetti I might find.

Wait, my trip code looks off. Maybe this was the right one

...

Is this a decent server to learn how to play if I've never seriously played SS13 before? It has always looked interesting to me.

Yes. They are all veteran spacemen. Just ask for help. But know that dying is part of the FUN.

Reminder to shout at Goo to start up the server every tuesday

I've learned the basics of the game, played as cargotech, chef, barmen, botanist and chemist, that's the next big step?

learning the advanced parts of the game

play as an engineer and help people build things, or start your own project, ask what a rage cage is and then build one, and participate in one

Engineering
Move onto science after that
Enable antag roles if you haven't yet. Getting robust is a important step, and having to fight/be sneaky is a big part of that

engineering will keep you occupied for a while if you stick around to learn how to manipulate air instead of just building things
if you truly learn all of engineering you should be able to repair breaches without people being able to tell it was breached and make your own space forts.

Nobody's touching the code anymore. All I do is minor fixes.
thursday
Plus we can dorf if we get enough people who know how to engineer.

>we can dorf
wut

Do you know what Dwarf Fortress is?
if so, Dorf is playing Dwarf fortress from the perspective of a Dwarf, in the high tech future in a asteroid field

You start with a station that's a bar+cargo. There's a fuck huge asteroid filled with equipment and mobs. Carp spawns are cranked up to overdrive to force station defense.
Antagonists are disabled for dorf and people are free to work together to build one big autism station. When people get bored or the station is overrun by carp we go back to playing regular space station.

Pic related, a dorf run where nothing was built except for turrets.

Why can't I join? I'm able to join other SS13 stations but not this one for some reason. I'm using Chrome.

I'm having the same issue. Restarting dream daemon now, should fix it.

Sounds like fun. Should everyone drink regularly or face insanity?

Yes

Be glad to have you even if you just want to hang out. You're a cool guy Mezzo.

What's the prime activity time? Every time I look, servers are just empty.

Was there a better dorf than this one?

4-7pm EST

the one where I accidentally set the entire asteroid on fire after we dilligently avoided it for about 30 minutes

>4-7pm EST
Awesome, my before-bed time.

...

I just got flashbacks from reading Boatmurdered...

You can't use the web client to connect to d20, we turned it off when it was launched because it was buggy. If it's better, I can try enabling it.

6 people on right now

Serious question what's the point of playing this if you're not going to roleplay? Sure it might be entertaining for a round or two but inevitably it turns into a circlejerk with everyone competing to be the most randumb

Holy shit what this is a thing again?


Shame I currently have a corpse of a toaster so no SS13 for me.

You don't need all that much computer power to run spessmens

Try to join, you might actually be able to play

No what I mean is that I had a toaster. Now I have a corpse. It's not running anything any more.

all this talk of dorf makes me want to play dorf again

Have mechs and guns been expanded further?
I want to remove ayy and autism

You can run spacemens on a potato with an electrical current
If Matyi can run it on his 3rd world shitbox, I'd bet you can

Like, why even call it "medium RP" if you're going to just be lol so randum

>if you're going to just be lol so randum
are we?

not him but yes

see:
I really want to dorf but I don't think just throwing it up without people being prepared for it will help the pop-count.

Like I said I'd love to but I'm currently in the situation where a ded PC means I'm reduced to a phone tech-wise and as much as SS13 is potato-friendly that's a bridge too far.

So since nernums and emiko don't get on much or at all, is there a need for an extra pair of soulless eyes to dutifully watch over the lambs?

Yes, I'd like to be able to take days off.

>>telekinesis grabs stop being deepfry-able
A sad day.
Got the picture of a deep fried singularity being stuffed into a cigarette packet?

I fondly recall once, as an engineering borg, meticulously furnishing an electrified fence around the entirerty of the dorf station, with garrison laser turrets. I wouldn't have needed assistant hands at all, if it weren't for the turret guns.

but who was antag?

I have this?

Pretty normal round honestly kinda boring even

yeah glad that nothing ever happens when lee is an admin

we had a great old bland time

same smame,gideon aswell
they kept the peace

Yup no fun stuff happened it was rather bland

ya i probably won't even mention it when I greentext this in like 10 months

Yeah i mean ive already forgotten that lame round,it was like watching a barkeep pop popcorn

I take it back, this server should've just stayed dead. That whole round was oppressively boring.

Can you nerds help me with this lawset?

1. The Captain is the Philosopher King
2. All Crewmembers are rational until proven otherwise. The Philosopher King is always Rational.
3. All orders from a rational being must be questioned unless the rational being is the Philosopher King.
4. You question the order by having a debate about the rationality of the order. The Philosopher King decides who wins the debate. If the crewmember loses, then he is no longer seen as rational. If you lose, then you must alt tab and read philosophy for 10 minutes.


Also post gimmick law sets

1. Be Polite
2. Be Efficient
3. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

Seems fine, if a little complicated. However, what if a being is proven to be irrational?
Does the AI ignore them completely?

What if an AI following this lawset has a different definition of rationality than others?
What if it sees venting the station and shocking all doors as a rational move, because humans can be generally proven to be irrational beings and killing them is a logical solution to ending their irrationality?

Perhaps add in another law like this: It is irrational to harm a rational being.
Just to stop shittery, you know?

>tfw in your pic
>tfw have no face
I remember it well
It was a day or two after emiko added legal science meme sabers
In fact I'm pretty sure the person on the bottom is Rusty

>OOC rules
bad
>rules cannot function unless a certain job role is being played
bad
>no listed consequences for a crewmember being classified as rational or not
bad

Reading the rules as they are currently written, I would have to question everything a crewmember requires of me until the captain intervenes, and if he doesnt/cant, the debates would literally never be resolved.
It also encourages crewmembers to be irrational, since only rationals have their orders questioned.
It also eats a lot of time for a pointless gimmick that would either lead to a thousand pointless arguments, or the AI getting glassed at the earliest opportunity.

Try harder.

Thanks, this was a really rough idea for a Philosophy AI. I'll work on it tomorrow when I'm not so tired.

>tfw can now bus all the people who bullied me
there's a new shleeriff in town

gideon pls
i hardly make name puns anymore

Are Gideon and Lee going to be the meme waring eachother and we're all caught in the crossfire

Dear god no

no that wont happen
no one can controll gideon

No, don't worry.
I intend to take my new role very seriously and only mess with Lee very occasionally when he deserves it

Ritual night bump

Also remember when we used to do / propose to do "raids" but it was moreso do a gimmick or help people? I think one fun one to do would be to go on a relatively high pop server and show these nerds how to be a good sec force.

...

Also what needs spriting? I want to help out, but I am rather uncreative.

How do you niggers come up with your ideas anyways? I've seen the type of shit you people come up with.

I think we're probably the wrong community to teach others how to be a good sec force

Not needed but, I'd personally like to see a different take on the cargo uniform
I don't really like the one that we, and most servers, have.

honestly the greyish blue coveralls mechanics and sailors wear makes the most sense to me
greyshits shouldnt wear grey clothes they should spawn in with normal clothes like something an intern would wear not grey coveralls

also why dont cargoshits (except shaft miners) not dress like mailmen? they are a glorified postal service after all

had the loneliest round ever, round is still going. check out cargo for all the things you need

except food

the one thing I wanted to do was sign in as a bunch of grey tide and do random station improvement projects as a team

I'm up for that

Sign me up.

If my connection works

Aw man, thought of joining, but you seem to have a well-established circlejerk already. Guess I'll stick with Veeky Forumsstation...

Well to be fair a lot of greyshirts aren't grey for long - only as long as it takes to fill the loom with cloth or to mess with the autodrobe and get hold of whatever outfit they want.
