I found SS13 completely on accident. Someone in a skype chat group I was in linked the video "Clown.wmv" the 1 hour version. I was mostly in "What the fuck is this? I need to learn more" And began thinking to myself that if anyone makes a video like that. takes the effort to do something like that and post it, it's a meme refrence of something. So I watched a video or two after that.
Next video I saw was Clown man 2. I thought it was great. I knew nothing of the game, and here is this dickwad walking around as a clown and fucking with people. The Sims music added to the background really sold it for me too.
I was sold on wanting to know what the game was. And saw the name Space Station 13 in one of the linking videos to a lets play. I got bored and just typed the game name up. And found the legendary video called "Space Station 13" by Aphtönites. This video really sold it. It provided information on the backstory of the game, what it was about. And how fucked up it was. I thought it was great mostly because I played custom maps like this game, in games like starcraft 1/2 warcraft 3. Then at the end, when he says "Get your pudgy little nerd ass over to space station 13, and start bustin' heads" I was like, FUCK YES! (This video is still a motivator)
It took me awhile to set up the game, mostly confused about the byond thing at the start. Once it was all said and done. I read somewhere during my research that goon was one of the best servers. I was septical. Mostly due to Goon rep in other games (Like eve-online) Still, goon was my first server, and pretty much the only server I play on.
I knew no one that played SS13, or to teach me the game. I mostly had to learn how to play by myself. Mentor chat did help with some of the basic things that I struggled with, since I kept hitting myself with objects the first few times before I learned better. How to open a box and get things out of it. How to pull off my backpack. Generally though, I studied the wiki, found the guide of being robust. And I played mining to learn the game. Which helped a lot.
So after 2 years. I only been banned 2 times (Not something to be proud of, but something worth mentioning because we all make mistakes and go through growing pains as we get older) I applied for and became a mentor. Partook in some incredible stuff. Telesci adventures, doing disaster rounds and surviving them . Being part in some interesting admin gimmicks. Causing my own. Even though I don't play as much as I 'd like to anymore. I still love the place, can't wait for cog 2.
