has anyone mentioned having a host who would admin abuse himself out of the brig

[cacogen]

i've said this on here before but i got a shotgun from the a wizard and rik hedberg tried to disarm me and when i shot him with it sos gave me half a day ban i got banbaited by the host and i fell for it

[Super Aggro Crag]

All of security chasing after one assistant and failing, not because he's done anything wrong, but because he's a memetic badass and sec deliberately fucks with him in the hopes they can be the one who beat Burer

(Spoiler alert Officer Friendly is the one who beat Burer, because i said "hey man you're really good at this" and flashed the dual taser wielding madman while he was trying to respond)

[NecromancerAnne]

Are you actually gloating about abusing typing? What the fuck is wrong with you, you unrobust mudcrab. You literally just admitted to the scummiest move in the game.

[confused rock]

I was going to say anne is being unnecessarily hostile and aggressive but that's what crag does to people all the time so go you anne go you

>kills a guy
>gets called unrobust for it

ok retard the word robust doesnt mean "skilled", the whole combat system is based on exploits and dickery. if you 're not robusting dirty you're not robusting. there's no honor among greysuits

There is no honor but there are things considered so taboo you don't openly admit it, because it brands you as someone you shoot on sight rather than give the time of day. You only bring the experience of the game as a whole by doing it, and you only open yourself to getting meta'd if you do that shit too often. That's why people don't admit to doing it.

Not like you aren't already known for being a stain but the fact you gloating about this is really damn lacking in self-awareness. Good lord man.

i was late for the burer train but i remember dante saying he always beat him so i don't feel like i missed out on much

i literally said in my post that i didnt shoot on sight, i roleplayed by appealing to his ego and then bopping him. Sorry i'll be more like the admins preferred type of player and silently roll around the station looking for someone to spam left clicks on without getting in trouble rather than doing my job

[Kel]

idk why anne is so up in arms, typebaiting is literally a gambit, especially vs a guy who is murderboning. if you sit there and type to bait someone into responding you are opening yourself up to equal punishment for standing still and using your keyboard (unless of course you are a based legacy controls player who can move and type at the same time).

[Super Aggro Crag]

good ol' days when singularity was at loose almost every single round

[Sometinyprick]

has anyone mentioned having a host who would admin abuse himself out of the brig

Or any of the following which SoS did
-force everyone to say the word "chelp" multiple times throughout the round
-make himself literally unkillable while he disarm spammed security officers for an hour straight
-make edits to the code between rounds like naming the captain "cobra commander" which broke everything and spawned people in space
-create 1000 force fire extingushers and chuck them at sec officers instantly killing them
-give everyone ventcrawling, argue with them in OOC that they couldn't ventcrawl and adminpm them asking them to prove it at which point he would turn off their ability to do it and then make fun of them for thinking they could ventcrawl

The height of this was witnessing seven security officers try to kill him over and over again while he kept using the revive function on himself till they just gave up and welded him in a locker and threw it into space.

It was burer, you weren't going to get the drop on them any other way

A good while, it worked out mostly because he didn't play that often due to his work schedule. I don't think it really became an issue until he got more free time to play and people got fed up real fuckin' quick.

[Googles_Hands]

I'm bringing it back baby, 2023:
- Cargo Tesla
- All Access being a thing
- Outrunning explosions as the wave of the station blowing up chased you
- Guns fitting into backpacks and the warden being a one man armoury
- The ssethtide (I don't think such a large explosion of the playerbase will ever come again)

I know these are more recent changes (in the grand scope of things) but I hope you'll bring something up I forgot and wasn't mentioned yet.

[warbluke]

I know this is a weird one, but I miss that specific version of gangs where all you had to do was tag a wall and then put down the GANG MACHINE once you tagged enough walls, and all the other gangs were doing the same shit. It was fun.
Also:
-Lord Singuloth (Obviously)
-Shadowling
-Science when all you had to do was deconstruct a series of random items in a specific order (Now you have to construct a series of items in a specific order, what has the world come to?!)
-Xenobio before the console
-Bagil having more than 25 players
-Classic Boxstation (Icebox is cool too but multi-z is scary)
-Mutation Toxins for every species
-Hybrid Tazers
-Cloning
A lot of the stuff had questionable effects on the game itself but it's what I remember when I was learning the game, so it will always be peak SS13 to me.
Please bring back Lord Singuloth as a station project or something though.

With vast UI improvements, the removal of click-limiting, and the near-nonissue of topping off plasma canisters at all, the roundstart plasma leak in Engineering is just about gone forever.

[VexingRaven]

The glory of cerestation being a thing and everybody universally hating it but it getting voted anyway.

[cocothegogo]

you will never print a full backpack full of weapons from sci
you will never sleepy pen your target and c4 them and insta gib
you will never taser

[TheSmallBlue]

- You will never scream at the AI to let you into the teleporter so you can rush bluespace research

Funnily this one still applies, yay experiments

I still remember suicide hopline where players would kill themselves as protest against the map.

Was that a cerestation specific thing? I thought that just happened every round when people didn't roll antag.

I definitely remember one time on Meta that it happened wayyyyy back in the day, complete with a cyborg being spawned in with the name Law 3 Violation to join the suicide conga, just to upset the HOP.

Incredible.

Having to take out and shower all your clothes, everything in your bags, pen and ID from PDA/tablet computer, radio encryption keys, and other junk after going near the SM or fusion, even when in a radiation suit. Old radiation contamination made engineering into a shower RP job.

[Timonk]

I loved when old radiation stack overflowed and a wave of instant death even through rad suits would spread around the station

[Pandarsenic]

I think we should bring back the ability to kill every human on the station by hiding a sufficiently irradiated pen and ID in your PDA while you just happen to be wearing the CE hardsuit.

the bible melting 50,000 times

[confused rock]

Having only one antagonist type per round ensuring some semblance of balance and focus instead of an incoherent sandbox mess every round
edit: also cardinal direction only movement
