The Day of Destiny (LLJK #1 RP Campaign - Thank You For Playing!)

[BBEG]

To be fair, nobody could have predicted that reading a book would have crashed a server.

i know im not mad just a bit disappointed. also wow reading a freaking book crashed the server how the hell did that happen i once played a round were someone set off 4 canister bombs and all that happen was a lag spike.

[poland spring]

It was a really long book I bet

[BurntCornMuffin]

It was an admin spawned book, so it was probably full of forbidden secrets and such.

[The Grim Sleeper]

Quick question: any chance of a rerun some 6 to 8 hours earlier? Some of us Europeans have some sleep planned at that the currently set time.

The 7th Artifact Activator?

This thread title sounds like a cool sci Fi short story name or something and thus I nominate it for a Day of Destiny plot line

Toot-toot, beatchass!

Not a bad idea. I can even see some friendly competition coming from seeing which round is more "successful"

Or like people arguing which version of The Office is better

There's more than one version?

D-Day soon!

[Frank_Stein]

I made some updates for the calendar for this and the thing where rules are relaxed on the 13th, if that is cool

[babayetu83]

this has been a pretty mixed bag so far, for me at least

the first event was fun, everyone was involved and had something to do

second event was pretty boring since the event centered mainly on 7 handpicked snowflakes and since this was the case and NO COMMITING CRIME BECAUSE THATS NOT PROPER RP!!!!!!! i found myself going afk for most of it

don't have much to say about the third episode since i died 15 minutes in due to a magnetic storm gibbing me

[Musketman12]

D-day just finished and I have to say that was loads of fun.

Edit: I was going to post this on the DoD stories thread but I guess it was removed so i'll put it here.
Well for all 3 episodes I was the HoS. 

Episode 1: I was made a traitor with the objective to basically be a jerk, rough up the crew and accuse them of crimes they didn't commit. Well every prisoner I received I made sure to beat them with my baton a few times for "effect" and would just be a jerk to everyone. When the shuttle was on the way, I ended up capturing the captain and usurping power in a coup d'etat, escaping on the shuttle alive later.
Episode 2: We had the derelict ship come in so me and Stan Beezlebub formed the transport squad and retreived all the survivors from the ship. I forgot their name but the chef just went crazy so I spent a bit of the round organizing the survivors, and trying to get the chef to calm down. I even had Kara the geneticist come in as an unlicensed psychologist to help. Anyways we ended up having to go to outpost theta (the ice moon) to investigate what happened to the survivors. I led the mission along with Stan and few other people. The chef came along too. We found some creepy shit and scientists. We tried to go down the elevators and were instantly mauled by ice spiders. This is when everything went to shit, people started screaming Phillip was an impostor so I incapacitated him and tried to get Stan to safety before he died. When we got to the surface we found the chef murdering everyone with a wendigo, we were then all subsequently killed by the wendigo. RIP Theta expedition. The round ended then with a deathsquad purging the shuttle of changelings. The changelings roleplayed fantastically and it was super fun for everyone.
Episode 3: I was made a werewolf with the objective of defeating the vampire menace! Well it just so happened that my fellow werewolves had already formed an alliance with the crew so we maintained that. Meanwhile Stan was discovered to be a vampire and was mauled by my wolf bud. The chaplain was a traitor, trying to stop both the vampires and werewolves from taking over the station. I killed the chaplain after he killed one of my werewolf friends. After this I went back to sec when the shuttle was called. The last other werewolf came too and we decided to finally stop resisting our bloodlust and decided to finish the puny humans. It was a beautiful blood filled slaughterfest. My werewolf friend died on the shuttle, but I made it for all werewolf kind.  

This event was fun as shit and I can't wait for season 2.

>put 4 docs on to deal with the crit guys, and the rest to clone and sort clonings surplus items
>get them sorted out, only one crit person died because they had injected him with an epi and we didn't know


i would write out the rest but i think this is enough, the end was lings got on the ship and i started losing staff. was just me and one other by the time the shuttle eta got to 2 min and at that time Geoff Goldman had eaten me after i tested his blood in medbay. overall, episode 2 was by far the best out of the three in my opinion.
And i cant say it enough that my medical staff on all (but three since i wasnt MD) episodes did a super job at following orders and generally doing their jobs.

Cant wait to see what you have for season 2, Bill.

[icanhasdonut]

i made an account just to post the amount of fun i had in episode 2
>be the only geneticist
>first bit of round is pretty chill, do basically nothing except work on genetics and check the rules from MD
>give myself and the MD x-ray vision, give myself teleportation
>some union rep comes in and complains about the fact that i killed a monkey because i left it in the chamber for like 15 minutes
>ignore him
>theta outpost stuff happens and i ignore it since i'm doing genetics
>later see him tied up by MD via x-ray vision and decide to mess with him with telepathy
>offer to turn him into monkey
>on radio sec asks for a psychiatrist to help with a patient from the Theta Outpost
>not acutally a psychiatrist but i'm basically qualified enough so i head over
>patient is going crazy in the room, yelling wildly about "the swarm" and how it was coming, pretty much causing mass chaos
>attempt to calm down, radiation storm hits and patient escapes in the commotion in the tunnels

>while chasing them down I hear a theta survivor and the chaplain talking and hear the theta survivor say "no one will listen"
>stop because my goal is to figure out what happened so i can help the escaped patient
>survivor tells me that if anyone comes back from the expedition we're all dead
>help survivor break telesci's teleporter while the chaplain tries to find the captain and hos
>chaos starts happening as the multiple lings on the ship start attacking
>me, the survivor, the chaplain, and another med personnel go to the bridge to attempt to survive
>this whole time i'm telling people not to come back from theta outpost
>guy on sec tells people to hunt me down so i'm pretty much screwed
>as the wendigo starts taunting people i begin to break down
>i turn into a statue due to the genetic instability from all the mutations i gave myself
>freaks out the medical personnel even more since the med personnel lost their id and pda earlier and knows its stolen

from then i watched the death squad come on the shuttle and destroy basically everyone on the destiny
turns out all the survivors were lings, including the two i talked to.
pretty much the best two hours i've had on ss13 ever. i loved trying to solve a huge mystery with partial info and then pretty much hiding from everything later as chaos erupted.
s2's gonna be great

[ferriswheel1]

Is there gonna potentially be a repeat for those of us on European time?

[BBEG]

I remember being the captain during episode 2 it was crazy between the theta expedition and the lings i barley knew what was going on and then there was the RD telling me to call the shuttle after i already called it but most surprising was the fact that i was the only crew member still alive on the shuttle at the end. also i slapped the hop funtimes

[DreamCarver]

Bill, I want to give you a big hug IRL for those two hours that were Mayday. Seriously. You provided all the right simuli at all the right times, so much so that I felt GENUINE FEAR when I bumped into an abomination as the shuttle was arriving. Seriously. I know it was 80% the crew's work too, but good on you for making it all come together with your pacing and events. Damn.

Well, as long as we're greentexting these summaries...

>stop on my way to free that guy to talk to some other survivor chatting with herself FURIOUSLY outside Sec

TLDR; BEST LING ROUND EVER.

Seriously, that was SO freaking fun. And terrifying. And FUN!

And you know what REALLY kills me? PAUL WAS A LING THE WHOLE TIME.

SURPRISE TWIST END!
