Official Space Station 13 Server

[Agent Scud]

Planning on trying my first round some time this evening but I wanted to make sure what the best way to start is. Should I bother going assistant or should I just pick a role and start experimenting?

I'd recommend cook, look the tgstation wiki, follow recipes, it forces you to work through a lot of the controls of the game, and if you fuck it up most people will just live off vending machine food until the station is destroyed anyways.

Words of advice, don't bother with the deep fryer, it seems to just be a meme.

The deep fryer is where the belongings of the people who break into the kitchen and harass you go.

A nice medical bot healed me but, he or someone else helping might have put a PDA bomb on me since my PDA blew up randomly later on

PDA bombs are sent by someone ringing your PDA with the detomatix card installed in theirs. You can avoid getting them by turning your PDA messages off in the settings if you think someone wants to kill you.

How do I understand the map's layout? I keep getting lost because of my incompetence at this game.

You should start with a wayfinder if you're new. Put it in your hand and activate it and it'll lead you to where you're trying to go.

Behold Kiwistation13, an ss13 server outfitted with its own set of rules that should be followed. You might think to yourself "well thats just about the most ordinary thing on this godgiven earth, why is this man writing about this boring subject much less a treatise about it? Well as with many things the answer is power, what power you might ask let me answer, Administrators or jannies of space station13 are a breed of people that use the internet whose sole job is to not be paid and administrate a server, them being unpaid combined with having to deal with every kind of homosexual and nondesirable there is cause them to deviate from normal behaviour into bitter, angry individuals, endowed with power like this never ends well for anyone, not the adm*n nor the player.

To add to this pile of misery, degeneracy and moral freefall are the Head Administrators, they come in pairs of 4: 3 head admins and a host but for simplicities sake we'll clump them together as one entity. Do not be fooled, Head Admins are not of the same breed as normal jannies, they are barely human their only human factor is the fact that they are capable of typing out sentences on the internet, their whole being is not made of spirit body and mind as normal humans but hate, dirt, disdain, crusty socks and everything Godforsaken you can possibly think off, this makes them the most dangerous being in existence next to the armies of hell which they associate with in particular with beelzebub who is their direct progenitor by blood.

For the less intelligent asking themselves why this is an unjust ban let me demonstrate:

1. "joined as captain and immideatly declared all women characters were valid"


I joined as captain of course,mostly because i was scared of other people becoming captain who might not have the gut to keep the station intact.

Previous rounds on this station i had noticed a high amount of """""""">>>>>"Female"<<<<<<""""""" characters, of course any space station13 player knows, that not one woman has touched this game, ergo every female character is a maletofemale tranny giving me the absolute moral highground in ordering mass beatings.

I never said they were valid, i merely ordered the normal crewmates to beat up these infiltrators who are clearly up to nothing good.
With this i have proved the deception and treachery of that demonic entity "Head Administrator" the only thing this " person" administrates is the various circles of hell.


2. "Spent the round being obnoxious."

Seeing as i have demonstrated the deceptivness of the Godforsaken one i will call him on his lie and call forward witnesses when i gather them to dispute this fact.



3. "Finally broke the only hard rule we had by spamming alerts."

Okay my bad didnt know lmao also i only clicked the button like 5 times, sadly for me i gave him the cassus belli to instantly ban me witthout any warning, which shows that servants of satan have no sense of justice.


This is my case against an unjust ban, the jannies and trannies of space station 13

Unban my captain post-haste @Null

In other servers viros get lynched by the crew or sec throws them into lockup for the rest of the round. Here Tradwife turned me into a nugget. These things tend to self regulate. You guys should rethink ban policy - in a few weeks you may run out of players.

Running out of players who keep randomly murdering people as nontags is the goal, mate.

Your server, your rules. All I'm saying is that you may end up in a sterile environment. Like tg.

It's not my server. If it was my server I'd make you suck my dick and then still not unban you.

Nurse Spiders can no longer lay eggs. Please reverse this.

Related to this, please add broodmothers back to the gold slime monster spawn pool.

This isn't a bad way to go, nor is going assistant. If you're an assistant, nothing will be expected of you, however nor will anyone give a shit about you. Its a great role to learn how to make your own fun, but you're not essential and assistants in the culture of SS13 are known for being shitters (google the term greytide in relation to SS13. Don't buy into greytiding, but you'll learn what preconceptions people will have of you and why) so as an assistant you're very much a lower class citizen, but nobody will scream at you for fucking up your job. You might even get lucky, if wandering the station you find a role you're interested in, if you're polite and not a fuckwit some department worker might even take you under their wing and show you the ropes.

Chef is pretty low impact if you want to challenge yourself initially in having responsibilities and a role. You're more essential than an assistant, but if you fuck up the crew will know other solutions for getting food to survive. If people are fucking with you or the cafeteria / bar / kitchen, security is pretty good about mopping up the rabble rousers, so you have a degree more of protection than you would as an assistant, wherein there's a 50 / 50 chance someone will just tell you to fuck off and leave them alone for the audacity of wearing a grey jumpsuit.

Ultimately, I'd say try both, but in whatever order you feel most comfortable. SS13 rounds as a rule average about an hour (some go longer, some go shorter for... a myriad of fuck ups from the other crew), so you're not hard locked into any role for very long. You can also find the Head of Personnel's line and ask for a job switch mid role if you want, though that's contingent on a HoP being present and willing, so again, be polite and not a fuckwit, and also be a little bit lucky in that HoP isn't dead or dealing with shit.

In any case, SS13 is about your day going wrong, in a lot of ways, so expect shit to not go the way you want, and don't get upset when something unexpected happens and you're placed into a situation you didn't want. Its just how life goes in space.

Another good idea is to observe a round as a ghost and just watch people to get a read on the general server tone, normal way to interact with people, how players of a specific job generally spend their time, etc.

For some people, if that's your speed then cool, but I think on hands learning is more effective.

That's just like, my opinion though, man.

I'm aware of the stigma on assistants, if only through Black Pants Legion/Tex videos, but from the general tone I remember at the beginning of this thread it sounded like they're not as "beat on sight" as they are generally. By what you're saying I'll probably go assistant to at least get a hang on the basic controls and try offering help if I don't beat myself half to death in the mean time.

I'll give it a shot. Going to be on call for a few hours so I'll do it between jobs.

Dude, that unban isn't worth the trauma of seeing your schlong. I'm getting my fix on Bee right now, less crazy, but hey - it's still SS13.

This isn't a complaint by any means, but any time you make a sugar cookie a big red flashing ERROR animation pops up. I thought it was just local but someone commented on it so they were seeing it too.
