Bottom post of the previous page:

Trust your gut.

Work with what you have, work to improve and increase what you have.

How to work with incompetent people.

Basic style.

Don't rely on guns they have no ammo anyway just beat the fuck out of people with your hands or something heavy if you need to.

You can learn the natural rhythm of a round, and if somebody's behavior deviates from the norm, they're new, shit, or a bad guy like a traitor. It wouldn't do to act on this alone, of course, but after a while you start to realize why the RD is hovering around the HoP's office silently with a gas mask on. Or why that security borg has come to check up on Atmospherics eight times in ten minutes.

On that note, beware gas masks. People who wear them are usually up to no good. Whether the Security kind counts for this is up to your personal interpretation.

Just because trying to not-powergame is actively discouraged, mocked, and will often get you killed or worse, doesn't mean you should stop trying. I don't mean elaborate typing out of you aiming your gun at a suspect, I mean, like, pulling out your gun, tossing them a pair of cuffs, and ordering them to cuff themselves rather than silently stuncuffing them.

One of the best ways to sum up what I mean is to describe what happened one round when I started as HoS. Some admin shit came up, so I enlisted a random volunteer ghost to replace me in my body as I did shit, and then returned, eh, half an hour later. I was literally horrified to discover that my character had insulated gloves on her hands, a full toolbelt on her waist, magboots on her feet, a traitor's devices in the backpack ready to be used at any moment... on the HoS. And of course, they'd been giving harsh sentences, typing in lower-case every fucking line, barely bothering to talk or listen at all...

Fuck's sake.

That's the kind of sensibility I mean. The active attempt to, at least in some areas, not powergame too much even if it gives you a worse IC outcome. Being killed and betrayed is part of the game, but that's no reason to totally stop trusting people. That's the whole point, that's part of the fun IMO.

This is just silly. Real-life police don't even do this, and for good reason.

Real police can walk and talk at the same time. Something spessmen can't do effectively.

No, real-life police draw their taser, which is an incredibly-painful non-lethal weapon and tell you to get on the ground.
If you have a weapon, real-life police draw their gun, which is a lethal weapon and is always intended to be used as such.
Don't compare SS13 to real life.

A man can be so badass that he can murder an entire room of people, simultaneously throw two people on tables and cuff them, and dispense enough laser fire in a ten second span to reenact the holocaust, but he will never be robust enough to walk and talk at the same time.

Speak for yourself. Walking and talking just requires two hands - One on the arrow keys, the other on the letters. Yeah, you'll type slow, but it's possible.
