Goonstation Monthly Contest: January Edition!

[Flourish]

Happy new year crew! Welcome to the future, welcome to 2053. Please have a wonderful stay. 

For this month's contest, we have two categories open for submissions. If you're a fan of platitudes, or are still in the mood for new year's resolutions type things, I guess we can say that both of them follow the idea of how small things can make a big difference. Here they are:

Hair sprites: Hair is often the most distinctive feature of your character's appearance and identity. Your hairstyle conveys much of your personality and is integral to your sense of self (ever had someone dye your hair without your permission? ever wanted to beat them to death? yeah, same). Hair sprites themselves, though, aren't some super complicated art thing. And because hairstyles are fairly accessible, even to the inexperienced spriter, we'd like ask members of the community to try their hand at new hair sprites! For any submissions you make to this category, please also include a suggested hairstyle name. 

Roundstart tips and tricks: You ever see those random bits of advice at roundstart, maybe ones that say "see something scary? press ctrl + S", or "you can switch hands by pressing the page up key"? Ever think to yourself, man, that's not useful at all or dang, isn't that really outdated? is that even a thing anymore?  Or maybe even just hm, I wish I could contribute to this cool and useful pool of tips!, maybe? Well, here's your chance.  We'd like to ask you for your wisdom and input on what tips and tricks should be shown! While it may only take you a couple minutes to come up with a bit of advice, for newer players who see them at roundstart, it could mean a world of difference. 

I've attached .dmi's of a human and all our current hair sprites your convenience. Similarly, the current pool of roundstart hints is spoilered below. As far as logistics go, feel free to make as many submissions as you'd like (preferably all in one post), to one or both categories. However, please do select a single submission as the one you'd like to go towards the voting phase. Voting will be conducted as usual, with three winners and the usual prizes (a Gannets sticker and a medal). Extremely ridiculous (this is more relevant to the tips + hints category than the hair one) submissions will be disqualified. Otherwise, all qualified submissions will be added to the game (perhaps with some tweaks, which you will be notified of!). 
If you think this contest is particularly cute or neat, please thank Pali, as he suggested this month's categories! 

And if you'd like to provide suggestions or feedback for this or future contests, please feel free to reach out on Discord and let us know! Thank you again for being a part of the Goonstation community! Have a wonderful January, and we hope to see your submission(s) soon!  

Spoiler!

You can step over crates by click-dragging yourself onto them.
Hold space and click on a tile to throw your current item there
You can switch hands by pressing the Page Up key.
Hold Alt and click on something to examine it.
Hold Ctrl and click on a nearby object to start pulling it.
You can drop your current item by pressing the Home key.
You can toggle throw mode on and off by pressing the Delete key.
Hold Ctrl and press F to fart. All the cool kids are doing it.
If you suspect someone's being shit, adminhelp it with F1.
Admins can always see adminhelps no matter whether they are currently on the server or not.
Admins may not be able to give you feedback about certain subjects, IE identities of traitors.
Anyone who intentionally put "Hitler" in their name is adminhelpable.
Don't forget your PDA has a built-in flashlight.
Lie down on the ground and hit Resist if you're on fire to try and extinguish it.
Make sure the AI is actually alive before asking it for help.
You can pass by people when both parties are on Help intent.
Dying is not uncommon. Don't get frustrated if it happens to you.
If the current server has too many players, try out a different one.
Soda, candy, smokes, and coffee can help you recover from stuns more quickly. Check the vending machines!
Hard drugs can give you a major advantage in combat, if you're willing to face the risks.
Never trust a vigilante. They're probably committing all sorts of crimes too.
If you encounter someone murdering another player, don't just take their word for it if they say it's okay.
People who use the word 'shitsecurity' should always be messed with. Always.
Killing bad dudes isn't always necessary. Sometimes it can be much more fun to publicly shame them.
Safecracking and loot-hunting in space derelicts can pay off very well.
Most departments have credit-transfer cardswipes if you want to charge for goods and services.
If someone is dying near you, clicking them with an open hand on Help intent will perform CPR. Keep clicking!
Something scary happen in front of you? Hit CTRL-S.
Chat with your coworkers and neighbors! Friendly players tend to get rescued more often.
Chat with your enemies too! Fights are more fun with some buildup and interpersonal tension, silent fights are less satisfying.
Space exploration can be very dangerous. Teams often survive longer than individuals.
In the mood for adventure? Offer to join a Telescience expedition. You'll probably die horribly, but it might be fun!
Hats or helmets can increase your chances of survival.
The sleeper beds outside of Medbay can help stabilize dying people if the doctors are busy or missing.
The cryo tubes in Medbay are excellent for healing most types of damage. They can also be sabotaged in fiendish ways.
You can inject food items with syringes for mischief and crime.
If you're a traitor, helping people and gaining trust first will make your eventual betrayals all the more entertaining.
Look around for Beepsky or the guardbuddies before you take traitor weapons out in public.
Beware the syndicate drones out in the asteroid belt.
Stuck in space? Throwing an item will propel you in the opposite direction.
Need more supplies for your workplace? Check your PDA for the supply request program, or use one of the supply consoles near the cargo belts.
The cargo routing system is great for quick escapes.
Antagonist status is rolled before job selection, so if you have Security Officer or Head of Security set as your favorite job, you can still be selected to be a bad guy!
