Official Space Station 13 Server

[Gender: Xenomorph]

Only time I was actively threatened with a ban was on /tg/ a few years ago, and it was for using the name of a "famous or noteworthy person IRL". Except it was a name I had been using on the server for more than 6 months prior to receiving the threat for action, and it was also a name I just arbitrarily came up with by trying to make up the most generic sounding name I could think of. I literally had no idea it was the same name as some Senate attorney who had suddenly become newsworthy at the time for some bullshit involving Trump, which was something I didn't even remotely know about until I got threatened by this admin. I explained all of these factors to the admin. The admin said he didn't care, even though I suggested that he could check my ckey and logs to see that I was using this name well before [current events] in order to corroborate my story, he demanded that I change it or I'd eat a ban. So I changed it to the next most generic name I could think of while hoping some other random fuck on God's green earth didn't also share the name and become newsworthy.

Reminds me of Nick Dorito player on Bee.

Nick Dorito played for ages without problem. Then one day admins decided the name is not 'roleplay friendly' anymore and appearance banned him <3

There are people out there (mostly outside onlookers of SS13) who genuinely think SS14 is a successor platform for SS13. Meanwhile it has a troon logo when booting it up and nothing but Russian servers.
Whenever someone says the SS13 community isn't infested with troons and its an exaggeration; just assume they too may be a troon.

RE:SS3D gets SS13 out of the 32x32 top-down tiles bullshit. Highly recommended and no troon logo.

This is a 3D recreation of Space Station 13, on the Unity engine, which will come with its own set of gameplay/graphical improvements.

The idea of remaking SS13 into either a new 2D or 3D Engine has been floating around since 2010 and they usually peter out immediately for obvious reasons. SS14 is unironically the closest thing to base game created from the ground up that hasn't ended up as abandonedware, but due to things I mentioned earlier (troon infested broswer) on top of the inability for any code of other communities to carry over, it's not going to gain attraction from most people who enjoyed SS13 on Byond.

No troons. Or anything other than art. Like, GAMEPLAY?

The devlog be like: We added walls.

Long way to go my dude.

SS13 and even SS14 being troon infested feels like such a fall from grace.

I can't recall the actual dates I played SS13, but it was in the ballpark of 2013-14, then during Ssethtide that I picked it up again. Both times on /tg/. I don't recall the game slipping into the 'no fun allowed' mentality by then, but I believe it these days.

I occasionally do brief skims of the pull requests on the SS14 github. Occasionally you get some autistic slapfight when a no fun allowed PR is created, and the more reasonable lead developers respond 'this is shit, why do you want this in the game.' Naturally, tantrums follow.

A recent controversy that sparked an entire apology post from the SS14 devs is some tranny drama surrounding a server called 'Nyanotrasen' and its lead dev/operator being at odds with the jannies. Standard tranny faire: Discord harassment, pedo allegations, the usual discord troon shit. This caused the server to be delisted from the main server browser.

SS14 Dev Apology Post / Archive

Spoiler: tangent

I'm not entirely certain what cultural change brought about all smaller development projects feeling a moralistic need to be responsible for every community server hosted from their project's source. Garry Newman of Gmod fame somewhat recently did a soapbox post about 'If activity on your server is something my wife wouldn't approve of, you should not be hosting a server.' If anyone could find that post or an archive of it I'd be grateful as I lost it. Meanwhile, CS:S zombie survival servers are still running with usernames such as 'Faggot Destroyer' 'Niggerblaster5000' and so on and Valve has never once given a fuck that I can remember.

Why do these fags care so much what other people are doing with the server binaries they provided? Is it too much to simply say that servers without the official branding are not guaranteed to meet the moderation or behavioral standards of official servers?

I simply pine for the days of Ssethtide and pre-Ssethtide /tg/ where doing weird and wacky shit on shift was the norm. Getting killed in funny, interesting or impressive ways was the entire point of the game. Not spending hours minmaxing your job and ahelping when an antag causes some chaos.

I legit don't think there's any future in SS13. The entire thing is terminally infested and was a product of its time. It may be that it's simple time to just move on.

 

[Gravemind]

SS13 doomposting is dumb.

Dedicated autism birthed the game and helped its niche community initially grow. Dedicated autism will help SS13 continue lasting even when the troons lose interest.

Either make your own dedicated hole (no, don't beg Null for a Kiwi Station 2, run it yourself) or keep an ear to the ground. This is the point where the SS13 community is at. Everyone is doing their own thing in their own segregated spaces.

It's not even tranny jannies that are killing SS13. It's this.

Not spending hours minmaxing your job and ahelping when an antag causes some chaos.

It's the playerbase of no-fun-allowed autists.

I don't care what server it is, I hate playing with these autists, and these's no one left to play SS13 with.

SS13 was about player interaction and the chaos it created, not about slime breeding and genetics. I hate people who play SS13 by just locking themselves up in a room and crunching numbers.

There's literally always been people that autistic about their spacemans and server mods and admins who will cater exclusively to them.

I still see people uploading recent videos of recent rounds on recent stations in both SS13 and SS14 where interaction-based chaos is still the name of the game, though. That hasn't changed either.

I'm pretty sure half the thing is, you either need to find the server that's right for you, or you have to learn to get more creative and interactive with the chaos you attempt to sow, because a lot of the people who complain about this sort of thing usually prove to be exactly the sort of niggers in actual gameplay who just powergamed and destroyed entire stations/departments in a handful of minutes and forced a shuttle call, rather than slowly building up to the eventual station-wrecking chaos through light roleplay and smaller bits of sabotage that lead to a bigger shitstorm.

The problem is observed intent. If you single out the one "lock himself in his department and play with buttons/numbers" nerd and he isn't your target as an antag, then a lot of people are going to consider that dickish and most admins have been inclined towards cracking down on that, given how you're basically round-ruining the one single asocial autist just trying to have his own good time. Now, say, if that same solitary autist happens to be collateral damage in some larger act of deviousness, or they happen to be a good stepping stone towards a target (like, say, you're a ling and you realize you could adopt his identity in order to put yourself in a more advantageous position), then all bets are usually off – anything is permissible.

That's always generally been the antag rule. If you're going to be as disruptive as possible, then at least make sure your methodology is entertaining for most everyone involved.

SS13 doomposting is dumb.

Admittedly I wasn't trying to start a doompost scroll. Just voicing some annoyances with the current state of the game.

I'd love to play again, but the idea of adapting to a new codebase or tiptoeing between powerjannies banning for minor offenses just makes me feel like it wouldn't be worth it. Colonial Marines is always there though.

I'm interested in SS14, I want it to be good, but I'm not in any rush to try it until AI and borgs are in the game. /tg/ synthetics were so much fun I'm happy to wait for them. The planned implementation of AI being multiple display views instead of freecam with LoS relative to cameras doesn't sound too great though.

SS14 also currently only has traitors, nuke ops and a very early version of wizard afaik. Mining is also just 'salvaging' right now where you teleport hunks of scrap to the station and mine it with a timer. No Lavaland. Despite the 2 or more years they've been working on it the things I associate with the most interesting parts of 13 like antag variety, gamemode variety, cults, changelings, genetics, surgery (requires engine rewrites lol) and so on just aren't there.

But hey you can build your own shuttles and fly them around in realtime. Cool but definitely far from essential.

This guy's been slowly but surely working on implementing more features into his own SS14 server build. Might be worth keeping an eye on his progress.

This gives me more hope that SS14 won't be barren for much longer.

This system for the mining job generating random combat or mining missions is pretty cool:

This looks very promising. We could host a KF SS14 server if they succeed.
They've recently added more items, functions and added more details in classic SS13. Some examples being the Defib dealing slight heat damage when reviving a patient and mice eating unattended food (could lead to some fun chef trolling). They removed the Brig Medic but he was a pretty useless role. I'm interested to see how they'll design surgery. One change that was kind of retarded was removing HoP's ability to give out all access.

Very interesting stuff. Maybe people that know what they're doing pushed the troons aside and started working on it.

What server does he run. The trannies running the main server, wizden, are so fucking anti fun its insane.

 

[titty skeleton]

I encourage you to read the comments on the pull request for that change because the discussion about it was long and devolved into flaming pretty quickly. Fairly funny read but offers a very transparent look at the people in charge of both the project and the maintaining.

Mentioned in the PR is the idea of running experiments to remove HoP entirely which sounds equally as retarded. I may be dipping into 'tism being resistant to change but that just sounds like a change for the sake of change to me.

I've heard this exact sentiment from a few people I know who have played. Some got banned for even trying to have fun, or for calling someone stupid for doing something that would kill them. No fun allowed tranny jannies are the norm on the official servers so personally I'd avoid them.

Have these retards ever played SS13? At this point it sounds like they're appealing to the youngest of their trooned out Discord users.

I've gotten banned many times for "racism" in my roleplay. I played on the pedophile Nyanotrasen server you mentioned and I got perma'd for yelling "Spiders will no replace us" while harassing players with an Arachnid character. All I wanted was to bring some chaos to order in a 70 server with 70 players because nothing was going on other than people jobbing away as if they get a real currency for it. Even the antagonists were boring.

Let's ignore the fact that being a libshit in 2023 is retarded after everything that's happened in the last 3 years. I may be a zoomer, but I know that people that like SS13 are old. Older people are not the same faggoty leftists that zoomers are today. The troons are willingly shutting out a big part of the userbase they want to bring back because they don't fit the most trendy modern standards.

SS13 used to be small, with next to 0 content on it with more than 10k views on youtube. the justification for keeping it small used to be 'the servers can't handle more people' but in reality it was to keep that little bastion of the internet away from woke troons, poons, and other fagoons.

it's such a shame, too. hippie and /tg/ used to be titans, now they're practically non-existent (excluding CM but I don't care about CM). now the kingpins in population count are hyperwoke shit or ERP dens for degenerates

Nyano is pretty fucking bad, and was ran almost entirely by gay fags.
However, they were still way better than Main server to the point that whoever controls the master server delisted them.

Honestly ss14 feels like a yandev type situation where whoever runs the master server soaks up the gibs while volunteers do all the work.

I think the problem is that troons are highly organized and they all share the same values (the LGBT cult). I suppose that's to be expected, they have the governement on their side.

Their number really aren't that great. A significant portion of them will concentrate in groups and we see them in large volumes as a result. Normal people that see what they're pushing as the nonsense that it is are scattered all across the internet by comparison.

I wonder if a group could take over and kick out all the troons over time. Wouldn't be all that dissimilar from how they took over /tg/.

The troon in control of the master server delisted nyano, a server ran by bunch of literal liberal fags, denouncing them as far right nazi's.
Imo they were delisted because they were making proprietary code and werent really contributing to the upstream code.

Assuming you could even find enough spergs to program for a kiwistation, it would be delisted immediately.
