Best moments ever thread 2.0

[YJHGHTFH]

Of course me being an idiot, I forgot to actually put in what I did.
this is the real one.



Was a wiz alone on the server with nothing to do

eventually at the 60 minute mark I got bored, so I did this:

Spoiler!

don't worry I locked myself in a locker to wait for the air to run out, so the round eventually did end.

why would you ever be proud of this you dull fuck

[Readster]

Ah yes, I remember fondly having to deal with that you shit!

[ClockworkCupcake]

To be clear here: People fucking up the arrivals shuttle on low-pop servers with maneaters, golems, etc. contributes to the server population imbalance and is generally not a great thing to do even on an active server. I think it's one of the few things that get frowned on even as a traitorous action.

A++ effort for making people mad.

You know what would help fixing imbalance, if this is even a problem? (And it isn't, because at least two servers are always viable).
Having the servers restart properly when everybody is dead or when nobody has been connected for a few minutes. That's what usually leaves broke rounds going for hours.

The problem isn't that everyone is dead, the problem is that everyone except one antag is dead and he just murders any new arrivals.

And "just go to another server" actually does contribute to the population imbalance. If you join a lowpop server and you get murdered instantly, you're going to be more inclined to join a highpop server where that won't happen.

[lifehole]

To be honest I'd rather we just had 1 or two servers rather than what you guys seem to be advertising the optimum as: 15 or so players each server, because we really don't have that many, and it's not balanced because people prefer to play on higher pop servers rather than mid-low pop. I consider 15 people around low-pop.

On topic, I had a really fun traitor round last night using a cloak, emagged hypospray, and tons of initrobeedrill. Was fun.

[Zadeon]

We got haxed

[VictorMAngoStein]

We got haxed

And I tried out ant smoke for the first time! Allahu akbar!

[Zadeon]

Then I turned into this:

[Zamujasa]

I was in that round and got turned into some wierd, always-front-facing corpse-thing after smashing a few clownspiders. *fart and *scream were also way lower pitched and everything I said came out as "XXXXXX shrieks, ..."

I kind of agree, but at the same time it was actually a lot of fun joining as a group of 3-5 people for a Solarium run on one of the dead servers, when all of the station is basically covered in Kudzu and out of power. It's strangely quiet, everything is dead, and you never know what's lurking behind that next tile of kudzu, all while everyone's working to get the shuttle called and make it to Escape.

...but the chances of that happening are extremely rare. I'd just as soon agree that the server should restart after 5 minutes of 0 alive players.

I got the miscreant objective to be a snake oil salesman. Checked my bag, pill bottle of bath salts. Game on. I go to the market, but business is shit...then the captain comes up, and shouts that winners don't use drugs. I proceed to challenge him to a fight, me on drugs, him on none. He responds by breaking into my store. Taking this as an acceptance of the battle, I got drugged out of my brain on that sweet sweet bath salt...all 5 pills...and started decking the shit out of the captain. I knocked him down, kicked him shitless. After a pitched battle, he finally laid into me with a laser gun, executing me...but I was only in crit. Then I get a message. "Space King: BOOM". My corpse explodes into a mass of gibs all around the captain and the bystanders, leaving them mildly speechless.

[Terminal Entropy]

After a particularly long week, I binge watched Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown which gave me a wonderful idea.

I came to the station to film Spaceman Spiff: Parts Unknown, the new hit TV show on the Syndicate Network. I spent the round drinking different things in different exotic locations, including the bar, captain's quarters, and medbay and scored interviews with various local crew members. Channeling my inner Bourdain, I got crazy drunk, ate a bunch of exotic local cuisine, and made a bunch of heavy handed comments about race, culture, and politics. After the episode was over, I headed for the escape pods, but not before fulfilling my quota of anti-Nanotrassen subversive comments, at the request of our syndicate advertisers. I ended the episode with flair that Bourdain would have been proud of (I swore a lot at the crew and then stumbled into an escape pod, leading to my demise in the asteroid field). All in all, a successful episode, so look forward to our next episode, where I head out to the telescience levels to drink and eat with the locals in a feeble attempt to better understand their culture.

Spaceman Spiff: Parts Unknown is funded by Syndicate donors just like you. Thank you.

Spoiler!

I'd like to call this a succesful QM round.
