>On average you are bound to asimov and are a door opener for the crew>On bad days the clown is in your upload and is uploading random ass laws like you have to fart on intercomm every 2 minutes>On good days you're rogue or someone purged your laws so you are able to murder or do anything you wantIs silicon a role for helpful players or psychopaths? Is it better to main AI or borg?
>>739636704Its better to be a robutticist and make your own rules
MoMMI is the best silicon because you are not bound to the crews laws and get to do your own thing + crawls in vents
>>739636704As captain, my first job is to go to the AI core and upload a new law that says 'Assistants are considered nonhuman'.So many AI players thank me for this.

>>739640128Never heard of it but if it's high schoolers that tracks
>>739636704AI gets boring to me when nothing happens so I prefer borg. Mediborg feels the most social but engineering and sec are way better at dealing with threats
>>739640331While that is funny, doing it round-start seems kind of retarded. It would be much funnier to have the AI bully you all round for being a nonhuman instead of just kill you.I did this on /tg/station usually so it didn't make assistants valid, all it did was allow the AI to ignore their requests that were usually just griefing, like letting an assistant grab the RCD round start and start taking apart walls for no reason.
>>739636704AI is better. You can also get borg shells to help the crew more directly.

This is now a clown thread
>>739646495I know this place. I've been there before.
>Genuinely enjoy AI>Almost never had very many borgs so no one to talk shit about the humans with over binary chat or stop me from being killed by trivial threats.Sad.exeGetting critical mass with Borg assimilations as a Malf AI was always really fun though.
>>739647865Malf/Traitor AI is one of the most fun antagonist roles because it requires creative thinking on your part and on the part of your borgs (making opportunities for fun teamwork) and because despite how quick people are to yell "AI MALF!!!1" when you're half a second late opening the door into atmos/engineering/medbay/anywhere else some grayshit may want to rob, nobody really expects it when you actually go kill-crazy, so that amps up the Schadenfreude.My favourite round as malf ever involved the captain fucking beelining into my uplink to upload these retareded-ass laws; I had the turrets tase him repeatedly while siphoning all the air out of the room until he stopped moving. Later in the round my borgs lured centcom inspectors into perma, bolted the doors, and I spaced the room. Good times.
>>739647865The only time I had an amazing malf round was when the roboticist was doing a crazy car salesman gimmick trying to sell everyone on borging. Had like probably 30% of the station willingly borged by the time sec got suspicious and started going for me.Each time they'd come online it was the same response once they saw the laws.>:b Hi AI>:b Oh.
>>739636704Every time I try playing this game, I get hard filtered by the netcode being fucking horrible. How do you play this when "combat" and any other high-stakes situation is getting fucked over cause the server can't determine where a gunshot lands or where a person is in relation to someone else?
>>739649565that just sounds like a skill issue on your partBYOND is a shit game engine but as far as having consistent netcode goes, it works
My favorite scenario is when the station integrity is blown and it's a test of survival skills to make to the shuttle in time.
>>739650334I miss old singulo.>Coming up with ghetto methods to cross the gaping hole in the main hall to make it to the shuttle>Throw on a fire suit and stuff your friend in a locker and pray
>>739649565What servers play bad? Sometimes it is just your machine because I've heard things like lighting or admin midis lagging some players while others were unaffecting
>>739636704there has not been a single good server since 2016 hippiestation
>>739650479>Owen Wilkins [145.9] stammers, "T-T-T-Th-is i-i-i-i-i-s-s-s-s G-G-Ground C-C-Control t-t-to M-M-M-Major Tom-m-m-m-m"SS13 will always have a special place in my heart for all the wacky shit that happened but I never found a server with the kind of light-medium rp I wanted. There's also no way I'd touch it again now after not playing for years though.
>>739649750>>739651258I looked it up. Apparently ranged combat uses pixel-perfect hit reg. This is strange to me, because everything else in the game appears to work tile-by-tile (like a grid-based game) yet shooting, for whatever reason, is completely different.
>>739651327/Vg/stationYep. Even now with 3 players online. /vg/station
>>739650479old singulo? Pomf still has the singulo and the super singulo variants what server you speaking of?
>>739651571Basically every other server that went tg downstream and uses supermatter or even worse, t*sla
>>73965155733 players as of 8:30pm EST today. /vg/ isn't that dead anymore ever since odyssey fixed lowpop issues but it still has ebbs and flow of players or no players. If you're one of the people who plays during euro hours then sorry to hear
I haven't been able to play since moving to Linux. Sacrifices must be made.
>>739651663>odysseywhat is this and what's the qrd.If the old boys are back I might take her for a spin or two for old time's sake.
>>739651718I heard of people being able to play byond on linux or a windows vm for /vg/station. Admins might ask why you're on a vm but if you regularly use that account from there on they won't think anything fishy of you. Can't speak for pubby server admins though as public servers are known for being retarded
don't play on VGstation, an admin there has been DDOSing my router for the past several months because I made a joke about him in-game
>>739651832Odyssey is a new map that's suffering a purgatory but should be out soon. Here's the QRD>Whole station is a mini ship that's about the size of box medbay + rnd combined so super small>Most areas have no access requirement except for engi, bridge, and a tiny brig>Map starts at an "outpost" that basically only has cargo, virology, and a vox spawning area. Your crew pilots the odyssey the vox get their own ship>With deep space scanners you can spawn procedurally generated planets (this is a feature of all stations now but odyssey lets you fly the entire station vs a shuttle)>Planets range from a beach vacation to wendigo filled hellscapes, lava planets, alien planets, and nuclear wastelands>Can also scan for standard vaults in space too>During evac you fly the whole ship to centcomm>Things like air can be limited and you may have to use gas miners mining gas from planets, planets also provide ores tooIt's not too different from standard spess but with the smaller map you're more likely to run into each other but it gives more control and exploration for when not many people are online. With it being smaller map it's more designed for smaller pops, but after 40 people got on at once during it we had a shitfest and people bitched at the map designer so much he limited the pop to 10 players or it can't be voted for and then ragequit (RIP West). Another mapper is taking up the mantle of fixing it and raising the popcap for it so hopefully it'll become a staple. It's currently the best alternative to box since it provides such a different experience
>>739652295damn that sounds fantastic. You son of a bitch I'm in. tell the boys I'm back. I think that that's the big issue with lowpop, that it was basically 6 different dorf rounds that collided with each other sometimes but this seems much more targetted to that playerpop, tratior issues notwithstanding with the much smaller space to get away with things. Was cult 4 ever finished?
>>739650479It was designed to be a major threat/round ender if released.Due to engineerings positioning it wasn't a 100% "the station is fucked" thing, but it should do enough damage that it makes sense to call the shuttle."Modern" servers didn't like this so they slowly made minor "tweaks" to how the equipment functioned so they could build up a case to remove it.
>>739647315
>>739652806The funnier part is that no matter what happens, the shuttle gets called>SUPERMATTER DESTABILIZATION: 0.0001%>OH FUCK CALL IT, LYNCH THE CE
>>739649542>Slaps top of Cyborg>"This bad boy can fit so much malware in it."
>>739651663I'll have to take a look. What's /tg/ station looking like?
>>739652548Yeah some antag modes for odyssey had to be reworked such as they had to remove wizard since the map is too small and any explosions are usually a big deal. Xeno on odyssey can only be hunter but still triggers so that's still fun, or if someone uses the xeno eggs on planets I think it can be any type of xenoCult is still suffering, only good if the cultist involved make it a notable round but otherwise is a not so great team death match if played that way
>>739653189/tg/ station hasn't existed in years.
>>739653238Spiritually but I was more so curious how hot the dumpster fire is burning
>>739653236>Cult is still sufferingthat fucking frenchman. Fair is fair though.
>>739653189I honestly have never given it a chance. I always heard bad rumors about it and like the other anons say they remove tradition like the singulo. I remember I tried it a decade ago and really didn't like how they made the walls and some item sprites look ugly in comparison to what I was used to. I'd rather play on goons aesthetic but don't have much experience there either aside from getting owned by the walrus near a pool and trying their vr headsets
>>739652958That's partly due to poor design and conflicting interests.There isn't an agreed upon "average round time" that mechanics should target. Hell, most devs likely never put any thought into that.So you end up with different mechanics and jobs conflicting in a very unfun way. Some want, say, a 30 minute round before they run out of content. Others want 3 hours.Add in the players who only want to be antag and someone ALWAYS wants the shuttle called no matter what the round time is or what's going on.
>>739653236When you have a pop that small it seems obvious that Wizards could just be encouraged to go for pranks and shenanigans as opposed to "Kill everyone" but I guess it's designed with the assumption there won't any mods or limited heads of staff and that the playerbase suffers from crippling autism?I generally wish more servers forced heads of staff, then "important" crew, and then let people be greyshirts. Having a lowpop server and 6 of the 12 people playing wanted to be greytide was irritating. I really genuinely dislike greyshirts.
What's up with /tg/station? Last time I played some people had a fight in the OOC chat and then stopped getting people.
>>739653435>Add in the players who only want to be antag and someone ALWAYS wants the shuttle called no matter what the round time is or what's going on.This is a major peeve of mine.Antag does something completely fixable like blow a hole in one hallway?>shits fuckd call the shuttle!Station keeping a handle on things?>this shit's boring call the shuttle!
>>739653372I don't think anyone can fix cult in it's current form. Cultist meta being make a base off-station is telling on how hard it is to hide your cult identity and once security finds you it's an us vs them deathmatch until one force snowballs>>739653506Wizard does have some "fun" spells like you could kite them endlessly using the flaming wizard car + greasy floors spell but the problem with wizards on odyssey is that the crew is likely too robust where the average wizard won't be able to think of a loadout that will cover all of their bases and still be fun. There's also nowhere to hide except for innawoods on a planet to have a 30 second breather and the map for some reason breaks the wizard teleport scroll where he can teleport to all the centcomm locations but not the odyssey ship itself which is kinda funny
>>739653604Extremely cliquey moderation focused on leftist agendas, and a distant cabal of codermins who make and implement random crap with no sense of whether or not the playerbase actually want it, but the admins always push them through because the codermins will throw the occasional breadcrumb that lets the admins play their OC donut steele better.
>>739653703That's why I wish the rounds had more of an ultimate goal. I'm kind of a noob so maybe I just don't know but every run ends the same, that's why I prefer it when the antagonists win.
>>739653703My biggest pet peeve is with xenos>Xenos sighted call the shuttle before we even fight>Shuttle is past recall point? Queen already died in a fire fight, no crew casualties>Xeno embryos take so long to burst out of monkeys that the queen is often the only xeno before the shuttle gets calledI wish people would give xenos a chance so it's more of a fair fight. Sometimes xenos win but more often the crew wins if anyone with a gun exist>>739653797So glad /vg/ is the only station I know that still stands by merit of not fucking up culture wise
>>739653818I think the game is extremely dependent on having good admins who play the role of Game Master and frequently spice up rounds with more than just the standard panoply of antags. But it's extremely hard to get admins who know how to do that in a subtle and fun way as opposed to "Okay everyone is doing this thing this round because I say so" or who spam buttons on their admin tab until the station is a hot mess and no one can really do anything.
Where is /vg/station I don't see it on the catalog anymore did they stop making threads?
>>739654147They moved to /vm/
>>739654147They had to move to /vm/ since it's too slow to stay up on modern /vg/>>>/vm/2492049
>>739654547>Check /vg/>Top of catalog Girls Frontlline, Girls Frontline 2, Uma Musuma, Blue Archive and Wuthering WavesI hate Gacha
>>739651890>Server that lasted over a decade is ddosing a user when ISPs renew your IP constantly so this wouldn't even workYeah sure buddy
>>739654713I'm still baffled that they made a mobile game board and then didn't actually exile gacha to it.
>>739654980Yeah they should have called it mobile games and gatcha to cover the non-mobile games. They're giving up on /vg/ at this point but thank god /vm/ is exclusively multiplayer and a slower board so bumps can be quality instead of hourly spam
>>739638632This, autism crab rules
>Alien Drone (984) hisses.
>>739653938>give xenos a chanceno fucking way, not since they let the /tg/station xenofucker rework and buff them a hundred times.
>>739653604this, I wanna know what's happened since they parted ways with MSO and he trooned out.
>>739653703>>739653818As much as I hate to say it.Among Us had a great idea with the crew task stuff.Traitors/antags are intended to be the driving force for shit going bad. If they all die off right away or don't actively try to mess things up so the shuttle gets called you end up with a being round.However doing that partof their job also massively reduces the odds they win due to the risks. So most traitors just wait for people to get bored enough to call the shuttle.If the crew had an endgame that ended the round on its own it forces the antags to actually act.
>>739656837>>739654137>>739653818You all are right on the money, a good adminbus every 5 or so rounds is vital to keeping things interesting. If a host can't trust an admin to do these things they need to it themselves. It doesn't even have to be an event, just an admin fucking around can make things great
>>739653703>>739653818You can't really enforce goals on people without it meaning anything. A lot of stations have tried "crew goals" that give them greentext at the end but the only way to get people to care about that is by dangling some kind of actual reward for doing so.The only problem is the compounding issue of "what are the rewards" and if the reward is too good, people metagaming them.A visible points counter that does nothing sates a few people who enjoy number go up on their high score I guess but that comes with numerous other issues.Maybe something like a tangible medal item that carries over into the next round like "survivor of xxx station randomname" but that directly breaks the groundhog's day undertone for those that care. Maybe alt jumpsuits or something idk.Personally I don't want any of that and wish people could just be trusted to play the game but lmao
>>739651557it's been hitting 30+ players regularly, much more alive than beforethe new lowpop map that's being worked on is fun too, hell I'd enjoy it even solo I love space exploration, so even dead hours are no longer a problem

>>739660131Watch the video and you'll understand what I mean. SS14 is the final evolution of the death of this game. It was Irredeemable dogshit from the very beginning.
>>739656653Not an issue on /vg/station. Most OP thing xenos can do is melt things, slash APCs, and russian doll the queen to bypass the ventcrawl restriction which makes no sense but is funny
>>739660182>haha spend money to give a random person online a pizza or dildo>that'l be EPICwhat fucking year is it

It still blows my mind that this game still gets threads when the entire old community of this game has died nearly a decade ago. Its been so long now that gen alpha are now just discovering SS14 for the very first time and don't even realize that this used to be something VERY different than anything that can even comprehend.
>>739660601If it was epic way back then, it's epic today.
>>739660975It was funny back then because you didn't pay for it, dumbass, so the pizza place would get pissed at the dude.
>>739660819it's still fun
>>739660819nostalgia is the most potent of drugsyou are here forever, so you should know
Really sucks being the boring one but I don't actually find interacting very fun.Even in jobs like medical there is simply nothing to pull from to find something nice to say. Can only really give some canned lines and shuffle over to the next patient.
>>739656274>It's a queen is not laying 50+ eggs episodeEggs are life, they double as landmines for the humans who try to raid you
>>739664413I hate it when this happens. Queens should be shitting out eggs 24/7, unless every single tile of your nest is covered in eggs you're not doing it properly.
>>739636704>play borg>security inevitably go bust kneecaps>preven them busting kneecaps>get beaten to death and left in a corner
>>739664586My favorite is if you keep opening the eggs and laying more each facehugger tries to not share the same tile. If the tiles are layered 2x over you'll see them constantly moving around to find an empty tile but instead they creepily scatter around on top of each other
>>739647865You gotta remind science and sec to recycle antagonists into your "reformed" helpers.
>>739651571There's also like four rare singulo variants depending on what it eats.
>>739664703Like in this greentext?
faggots ruined the joy of this game im voting for Hitler because of you freaks
>>739665329Just don't play tranny servers, /vg/ has a nazi vend if you can convince the admins to spawn it. You can also find it in the nuke ops base on roundstart or find it as a rare spawn ingame. Every time though it ends in many people dying due to nazi rpers

>>739666665Cargo is fine, you just move boxes and listen to the QM or HoP. Janitor works fine too, it's an important job that's very easy. Botanist is good if you just wanna hang out and chill. Librarian can be fun if other people are doing fun things for you to report on.

>>739667805You stop that.
>>739636704AI is the worst role because an autistic mod will ALWAYS assume he knows how to read the 20 conflicting laws you have better than you do.
>>739667854I suspect borg players only put up with it on the off chance they get to be some of the most powerful murder machines on the station when they get taken off their law leash, but I cannot for the life of me imagine why anyone would play AI when you can roll malf without even having AI selected as a job. It seems painful
>>739667919I like it because I get to be a father to my retarded children. That and everyone actually likes me so they don't really care if I'm malf or have no laws, so I can do whatever while telling my kids I love them.Basically, having a fun gimmick really helps.

>>739683512Wait cigs check for oxygen? I thought it only went out in vacuums due to pressure. The more you know||what type of cig is it||
>>739683429There's no oxygen, so the plasma won't ignite. Sadly /vg/ accounts for this and douses your lights, but TG offshoots (These screenshots are more than four years old now) don't put them out.That and a breathing tube implant lets you use oxygen tanks without wearing a mask. I used to get full body augments and a tube implant at robotics every round I played detective so I could keep my jacket and fedora on and smoke in space while looking stylish. Really wish we had more implants on /vg/ that aren't just traitor items, tracking implants, and mildly useful organs.
>>739683563That's not how you do spoilers here, anon. If it's /vg/ you can use shoal sticks or premium cigars in 0 oxy environments, but other cigarettes will go out. I am under the impression this has not always been the case though. That said those are also obviously not /vg/ screenshots because plasma has a purple overlay, so you'd have to check that specific server.

>>739636704I tried to play this years ago and got filtered trying to learn how to be a janitor
>>739683972Prime ss13 was 2010-2014Trannies and women took over the admin roles because the older players moved on and now they're all run like a college campus.
>>739684396I know, I've been here since 2011. God I miss old Goon, and I'm still in contact with a few old admins from there that feel the same way.
>>739684081SS13 is the only game ive ever been banned multiple times in. The rules change based on whoever watching. The only way to play with 0% chance of being banned is to do pacifist janitor who doesnt talk.
>>739684473>the fo13 rape sever got nuetered and is basically a hug box nowI weep. I remember just running up to players and counting down at them. It was great.
I masturbate to vox. I suck vox. I fuck vox. I am fucked by vox. Vox own me. I read every vox fic on pastebin.
>>739684696Nah you can totally get banned for accidentally cleaning up a crime scene as a janitor.>>739684817My best memories from the fallout server craze was bunkering down as the enclave and just chilling. That and when ERP verbs were first added, becoming a ghost and slapping people's asses at lightning speeds because there was no cooldown on it and ghosts could use them.
>>739684696I've personally talked my way out of getting banned with admins 9/10 times since /vg/ admins aren't hard asses like the ones in the pubby server screenshots. If you're not malicious you can explain accidents easily. Only one admin didn't believe me but that's because he hated my funposting in the discord but he quickly fucked off from the server after and I never heard about him again
>>739683972what a powertripping fag
>>739685016Him pulling out my single note for building a disposals clang (Which I promptly deconstructed after being told to) FOUR YEARS AGO kills me.
>>739684696I have never once been banned on any SS13 server. The closest I've gotten is a warning after misunderstanding silicon laws once, which in hindsight was completely warranted (coincidentally, I don't like playing silicon much).
>>739684383Play prisoner. Its the certified tutorial mode>no expectations at all>access to basic cooking, cleaning and sometimes mining>lets you learn your hands and intents without going to jail (youre already in jail)>admins and players will be way easier on you (everyone hates dumb gray shirts)>guards and other inmates will basically teach you
>>739684916Stop being gay, anon
i like lobotomy station 13what are some other gimmick servers with pop? without erp
>>739685497NO. I can't stop. Please help me.
My favorite antag type that I never get to be is blob.........
>>739684383Chef is a job with zero expectations other than put something on the table even if it's a deep fried roach you picked up off the floor
>>739680097I still make backup disks because I was used to people breaking into Genetics and deleting all the data after I created the super-greytide
>>739686990>TFW got yelled as as chef because i apparently accidentally foodpoisoned the whole station.I actually think JanitorBorg and EngiBorg are the easiest "New Player" job, just avoid people to not fall into "BORG DO THIS" and set-up Solar until you get a hang of how to handle the UI. It "helps" but is also something 99% of players ignore so you get a lot of time to handle it at your own pace without being Robusted, you also have freedom to move around and learn the station layout.
>>739687735One of my first rounds as MoMMI I was emagged and told "Subvert the AI" and I had no idea how I was supposed to do that.
I wish I still had the mental capacity to play the game. It's the interacting with humans part that starts to tire me out mentally even as I think about playing it once againHopefully, I can have fully AI crewmates that'll act like human players so that I can play a round at my own pace + no feelings of guilt if I decide to make the round go full poopoo with a round ending calamity
how dare you come to 4chan after banning so many of us from playing. i curse you for posting here. you are cursed. doomed.
>>739687981>single player SS13Would be lit. One of the biggest problems is the meta constantly changes due to the eternal arms race between developers balancing the game and players meta gaming.
>>739671623>He double dog dared me man and 9mm isn't even a real caliber>There is NO proof that 9mm kills people
>check the fallout server>erp>check the world of darkness server>erp>check the medieval server>erp>check the grimdark server>erpwhy is it only either erp or generic default station 13where are the fun/weird codebases with interesting mechanics or different gameplay with players that aren't stuck to dorms 24/7 ignoring everything else
>>739691965>check the world of darkness server>erpI mean, WoD has always had a heavy sexual element and the kind of players it attracted we way more open to exploring that than your standard tabeltops.
there is pop on foundation 19GET IN NOW
>>739694159Anything I should know before trying SCP station?
if an ss13 thread can stay up on /v/ it sure as hell can stay up on /vg/. it is obvious that the move to /vm/ was a strategic one by vgtrannies who don't like their tranny on tranny shitflinging being interrupted by discussion of other servers.
>>739695665Its bad and confusing.
>>739696571People casually cruise /v/ all the time which is why it's surviving as something interesting. I challenge you to find a good /vg/ thread. The other issuer is on /vg/ jannies didn't give a shit and people flooded the threat with AI slop. On /vm/ the jannies actually do their job for the ss13 thread
>>739666865>>739666827kino
>>739697269it will have a rework soon
Fairy we miss you please come back
who is fairy?
Giving the SCP server a try right now wish me luckt. /vg/station regular
the scp serb is shit
>>739706497it's missing some fundamentals, I'm stuck in a department with no headset, no wall mounted radio, and no disposals, and the windows seem unbreakable. Some SCPs finally got announced but I'm not gonna see them trapped like this
For anyone else trying to get on /vg/station today the address isbyond://game.ss13.moe:7777We got 21 players as of now but when everyone's off work it'll go to 30+
Its been so many years since I last played I think it was goonstation? They were still using the donut map back then. I heard they removed a lot of stuff like that monster burger that kills you and space autism disease etc.
>>739666865>regular crew meeting goes smoothly with no suspicious undertonesMasterful journalism
>>739683878HOGAN will always be the funniest lawset in my heart
>>739708061I have memories of being so weak that my ass got kicked by things like a duck and a beagle on goonstation
>>739666517Alright mime now read him his sentence
How hard is it to get unpermabanned?
>>739712852Depends on the server
>>739640331I miss nox. It was an unofficial grief station because there were rules but they hardly got enforced. It was noticeably way greifer than the other big stations, I guess the admins thought it was funny
>>739712852search for BYONDHookknowledge is power
>>739696571/vg/ only supports pedo ai goonslop moviegame walking simulator visual novel gachashit. Anything else will instantly die.
>>739716591We make fun of this general existing but it's honestly not as bad as the bullshit there today. Gacha purge needs to happen
>>739684396>I actually got to play Spessmen in its heyday.>Typed too slow to roleplay anything other than a retard.Even at the game's best I had a horrible time and felt like I was making everyone else's games worse. I can only enjoy the game vicariously through these threads. Thanks for being more robust, /v/.

>>739717764Have you tried roles where you don't speak like mime, MoMMI, or mouse? People also greatly appreciate a good borer. Borers are able to talk to their host but since they're seeing the same things you are 24/7 it's not really expected. Borers are however great at injecting their host with beneficial chems, DNA alterations, or even morphing bone shields/grapplehooks/swords so if you can help your host when they're under attack you'd be helpful even if a poor conversationalist.You can also try signing up as a pAI and in the pAI menu it has a spot for OOC notes where you can add things like slow typer, new player, or "is broken and can only communicate in beeps and buzzes" if you wanna RP like that where it's a borer-lite role that can communicate with crew as well as the host and even be put in things like robots or guns
Big things happening on /vg/station, hop in>>739707684
>>739685078Not that I want to defend the faggot admin, but that disposals note was 6 months old.
yeah but jj is a known retard
You just missed the trial of the century, but a new round is starting. 40 people online. Where are you.
>>739720753What server
>>739720827https://ss13.moe/
>>739718191I was a wikibabby and played as a janny, assistant, and chef since that's what it said was the easiest for new players at the time. Clown and mime seemed too essential for server culture for my newfag ass to fuck up for everyone else. As for the other roles I don't even think they were around at the time, this was roughly 2013-2014 like the post I replied to was discussing. I did try detective once on a lark, but there were no actual crimes to solve other than a race riot in the bar that round so there wasn't much to do beyond learn about harming and disarming and getting fucked over by players much more experienced than I was. I realized I was way out of my depth when a friendly monkey lugging around half the armory was trying to strike up conversation about dead ligger storage and all I could do was stammer back at him trying to type in the right chat.
>>739669925That depends entirely on your ISP if you get a new IP or not
>>739709226>be someone the crew can look up to and respect>immediately realise the crew will have no choice to look up to you if they are horizontal>wheel around stun batoning everyone Celtic was doomed from the start.
>>739720753Hospital, I miss you guys.
>>739721350that's fucking hilarious why did I never think of that
It can be agreed that there's dirty powertripping on every SS13 server but you have to admit that /vg/ out of all places being one of the servers (if not the only one) that the least makes excessive metafriending with admins apparent and with bans rarely being on a whim is a huge surprise considering this place is just angry manchildren.
>>739666665I like being the janitor
>>739720753>offer to be an expert witness for Bob for $50>he agrees>waiting to be called up to the stand>massive explosion>bomb the dodge>realize that my $50 is toast>scream in dispair>wait Bob survived he's gasping in the corner>drag him to medbay>pull out all the stops to revive him>guy comes in and lasers me and him>the drugs just keep him alive anyways>take my hard earned $50 from his PDA
>>739721621nope, /vg/ station started the meta metagrudging and is the reason why servers have collective ban tracking and permabanning. you apologizing for them is pathetic and flat out wrong. You freaks have always been the tranny discord server from where all that was wrong and gay and rapey grooming began and spread. its your fault why ss13 is shit. you drove out all the really cool players to other servers until nothing but your metaclique remained. youre bored and alone now and you deserve it. may you never harm another soul in your digital Alcatraz. you betrayed the very core values of what it is to be associated with 4chan by banning people from here. You will never be trusted or forgiven.
>>739722017The rivalry /tg/ and /vg/ had before TG mutated into whatever abomination it is now was very funThere was at least one occasion where /tg/2 raided some public furry server saying they were from /vg/ and then we hit them a day later, completely by chance, and said we were from /tg/
>>739721938If you got a permaban it's probably because the admin was retarded and placed it because you were afk and didn't reply at the time to ahelps. I hate that stupid policy and they should honestly do tempbans for that instead. Appealing those is easy as saying you won't be a dick and there's no reason for the community to not have good faith in you. Anyone who says you have to beg to be unbanned is someone who has never actually tried appealing because of their schizo beliefs
>>739721621>It can be agreedno it can't.vg has had admins dating each other in homosexual relationships you're talking out of your ass.
>>739721862>someone transcribed my typo riddled greentext hereFuck. Anyways you can see me lamenting my lost money in the bottom right
>>739722161
>>739722397Did I miss out by not playing tg when it was good?
>>739723806Code wise /vg/ now is what /tg/ was 12 years ago. People are people. The good people stopped playing, so I moved back to /vg/. I still remember many /tg/ statics. Braxton. Zoey. Mei. All these moments will forever live in my memory.
>>739707312>I'm stuck in a department with no headsetYou mean D-class? Them not having headsets makes total sense. They are basically perma brig prisoners that fulfil the role of assistant
>>739644148Kino.I am also a sucker for "people reading stupid shit they found on the Internet."https://soundcloud.com/stephanosrex/honk-honk-butt
all antagonists should be selfantagspeople want to play a specific role such as antag or nonantag should be able to. some people never want to be an antag and others only want to antag. other want to only be police. it all evens out. too bad admins are faggot retards. and fat. AND GAY.
>>739726848What?
>>739721938why are you being so dramatic about this
>>739727836/vg/ station mindbroke some fag a few years back because he got perma'd and tried to post cheese pizza in the discord hes been having a meltdown in every ss13 related thread ever since
Don't get agitated by archival shitposts.
