So tonight I initiated my first (actually executed correctly) admin gimmick round. I dub it, "Three Stooges".
Players that join immediately after round start, those that check for gimmick jobs, would be met with surprise to see "AI" in the listing and took it. Three AIs would be about on the station: the orange snoozleberry newt rollups, the pink LoveNet, and the green Invisible AI. They were given a single extra law: be the last AI standing, overriding the second and third laws as necessary, otherwise Bad Things would happen.
Needless to say, most of the round was serenaded with the hilarious bantering of the warring AIs. At the beginning, one stand-up crew member took it upon himself to pull all of the AIs out of their cramped core shields and lined them up in a row so they could be told apart. snoozleberry newt rollups took this opportunity to strike, having been savvy enough to catch the telescience offsets and evicted LoveNet and Invisible AI from the upload foyer. At first the ghosts and I thought he'd sent them straight to the crusher since that had happened in a previous round with an AI lawed to exterminate wizards, but snoozleberry wasn't that mean and instead stuffed them into the walls by the upload foyer's airbridge.
LoveNet on the bottom, Invisible AI on the top. Unfortunately the only screenshot I thought to take. I was too busy laughing to take any others.
This didn't afford snoozleberry as much personal space as he would've liked though, as LoveNet responded by unbolting the upload foyer and shutting off the turrets. Someone promptly ran in and... uploaded a law that told the AIs not to assert dominance over each other. Then another crew member quickly excised the no-fun law and replaced it with "Only Mr. Muggles is human."
Well, crap, now the AIs were unbound from the crew and yelling at each other. Sadly Invisible AI was inactive and ultimately had to leave the game, so a replacement AI was drafted in the form of HUMAN TRAPPED IN AN AI SHELL... and ended up spawning right on top of snoozleberry, who had teleported himself back into the core shields like it was some kind of throne. Since the teleporter was random in what it pulled off of the same tile, snoozleberry bedrudgingly let him stay put.
Some more hilarious dialogue later, the traitor Jimmy Jakins (actually Shaquille O:Bama in disguise) approached the stacked AIs and declared he would solve their dispute using... his inability to poo.
He wasn't wrong.
Jimmy Jakins emits a loud clunk!
Shaq had ingested a bunch of simethicone and a macrobomb, literally farting himself to death and obliterating all of the AIs at once... or so he thought, for the crew hadn't found LoveNet. Indeed, snoozleberry's telesci shenanigans ultimately worked against him in the end by sparing LoveNet his explosive fate. Sadly, in the walls was where LoveNet would say for the rest of the round, as another traitor and his mindslave had murdered nearly everyone else on the station with swarms upon swarms of killer tomatoes. They were kind enough to let all the survivours onto the shuttle with them, though.
...But unfortunately forgot one important fact, one that LoveNet tried to warn them about: Invisible AI, though braindead, was technically still alive and brought the AI count to more than one. And his warnings were not heeded.
And so Bad Things happened and black holes devoured the Escape Shuttle en route to Centcom.
