"Hi Everybody!"

I just had the second loving round in a row where the captain and the hop are both traitors, and the captain immediately picks up a cloaker and goes loving wild, this is crazy.


Oh, and apparently cloakers are literally immune to everything now because flashes don't reveal them, and not only do janitor shoes stop you from slipping on water but also banana peels? So how do you stop that?

Also why is the cloak still in after all this time? Early on there's stuff you could do to stop it, either have one of the two pairs of thermals and shoot him (which is almost impossible), There was peels water spacelube and hope that he was dumb and had the cloak in his hands and doesn't have janitor shoes (which I GUESS protects you from all of those?), or using a bomb? Does that cover all the bases because that's dumb and the fact that it's one of the oldest traitor items doesn't help the fact that it's the most bullshit item because there's nothing to do against it except stop playing the round and go to the other server.

Janitor galoshes don't protect against spacelube, and the reason you couldn't flash the captain is because he was probably wearing sunglasses.

Easy, just burn your house down.
I wasn't talking about flashing the captain to knock him over, Someone wanted to use the flash to reveal him to then bonk him but apparently they 'fixed' that the person said.

Mega deal with it

You can also try using activated T-Ray scanners, although by the time the lag has revealed the cloaker you're probably dead from standing next to him. I guess you could make a clever trap by setting up a bunch of scanners in a room and waiting for them to come inside, though.

I think you can build some security bots, and they will stop him they see him. But really I agree, the cloaking device protects you from 90% of the crew, provided the electricians didn't preemptively build a bunch of thermals. I think if the cloak disabled when you attack someone or fire a gun it wouldn't be so much of an issue to deal with, or maybe just give it a 5-10 minute battery and once that's used up it's dead for good.

A cluwned werewolf is pretty much the most terrifying thing possible. I made a fully equipped sec guard too afraid to leave the locker room after ripping apart and devouring over 4 people in front of him, honking and laughing the entire time. Everyone who set foot in sec just became another layer of gibs splattered on the floor.

As a new player my first few rounds cloakers ripped me apart and I had no idea what was going on. It'd probably help new players if you at least gave some indication of what was happening.

They only reveal the cloaker for a split-second, enough to tell you that he's there and nothing else.

I certainly dont have deep-seated issues involving birthdays.
So I just had a fun round, The whole thing was spent hunting monsters.

I had killed a vampire to earn my stripes as a mallcop monster hunter, I was eager to test my metal against another when the radio obliged me with "CHANGELING ESCAPE", I run down to escape in time to see my fellow officer, the one who helped me tag the vampire, standing with dead assistant in hand, the botanist who called it in explaining the situation, clothes littered the escape arm and I knew this was not the same man who had my back during the vampire incident.

We exchange taser fire and I quickly retreat once his starts spitting acid, he follows and runs out the escape arm door just as the detective, who being the detective, tases me and the botanist and ignores the running changeling, after explaining the error of his ways and returning his weapon and wiping his blood off my stun baton we board the shuttle which just arrived, It's an anxious wait, we're all aware there is a changeling, The botanist, the captain, the detective and me all hang around at opposite ends of the shuttle far from the doors (except me, I was out of taser shots but I'd be damned if I let that thing aboard!)

An assistant comes crawling down the corridor limping and wearing a gasmask and my eyes narrow, those twenty four hours in nanotrasen security school coming back in a rush as I examine him through the wall using my thermal goggles

Security headset

Brown shoes

It's him, The second he enters I smash him in the face with my stun baton and scream ITS HIM, he replies by going NNNNOOOOO but people ignore him, they saw what happened to the vampire, Than he explodes, turning into a hideous shambling abomination, still stunned from my baton and with the shuttle leaving I have to make a choice

Like a wrestler I hefted that huge, enormous monstrosity onto my shoulders and dived out the shuttle door, I kick the airlock panel, opening an apature into space, and knowing I cannot throw this behemoth, I dive, Me and him floating into the freezing burning depths of space, the shuttle leaves as my consciousness fades... I am hero...


THE TWIST: the botanist was a changeling as well.

Cogwerks, did you remove Hobo Surgery? I tried to put someone's arm back on outside of medbay, and it would not work. I just kept hitting them in the left arm, with their own left arm. It was kind of freaky.

(Normal table, he was lying down, help intent targeted on the missing body part, would not work.)

Well this was the lamest loving round ever. I spawned late as an assistant with the objectives to destroy all cyborgs and steal the AI's processor. I spawn some stealth items; trick cigs, stealth storage, a derringer and an emag - planning to wait till the coast is clear and then try and stealth grab what I need to break into AI upload. I'm walking past security when some rear end in a top hat security guard just flashes me and shoves me down the disposals to brig without a word - leaving me there.

I'm forced to EMAG my way out and attempt a stupid rampage with stealth items because of some POS security. Admin help, which is usually excellent, was very loving unhelpful which all in all ruined what could have been a fun assistant traitor game for me. I took one guard out but got flashed by the other - which then ended with him murdering me with a crusher janitor cart - even though he wasn't even a loving traitor either and had absolutely no evidence I was.

I can't see in what scenario wordlessly brigging greyshirts for absolutely no reason it acceptable - he lucked out that I was a traitor, but that only loving fored me to try and rampage when I was trying to be stealthy.

Let me get this straight. You got a one-way trip into the brig, without any suspicion on you, and you had an Emag? Why did you not break into the armory and level the entire loving station?

I mean, yeah, poo poo thing for that guy to do, but it's called making the best of a bad situation. I'd kill to be by myself in the brig with an Emag.

I did get to the armory - hence why I was able to shotgun the first guard. The second one however came whizzing in and flashed me when I didn't even know he was there.

Okay, real talk. Cool space kids smoke. It came at a cost before. Two cigs would fill your blood with nicotine so you couldn't be cured if you were damaged. At some point smoking changed. Now the nicotine deals damage also. It actually puts you into critical after three smokes in a row. I get that you're going for the Metal Gear thing, where it hurts you in real time, but it already was pretty detrimental to smoke with the drug block. You get my drift? Let's bring the smoke filled days of yore back to the future and herald in a new era of bad vice cop impressions.

I don't know who set it up but during a round, I became the Poovahkin. My destiny was to hunt down and kill all vampires, wizards, and elves. After meeting Magical Mike, I couldn't kill him and instead teamed up with him to chase down elves. Lucky for me a radiation storm gave some people pointy ears. It ended when a scientist called me out and suicide-bombed me. I hope the admin who made me that and ghost liked my performance.

I never got that vampire either

I've grown really fond of the New Eden server, I finally learned how to be a good cultist and holy gently caress is this fun. Seed a few tomes once I get all the words (which only takes like 10 minutes if you find a quiet spot on your own) and hide a teleport rune if you need a quick escape. Then start converting people in your job area. My first round as a cultist kinda hosed up though, because the chief medic had a bunch of people to do the summoning with but a lot of them were brain dead so it didn't work and some rear end in a top hat betrayed the cult to security and we got bused, that's something to remember for later I guess.

It's a relatively new server, I don't think there were any mods on tonight but I'm considering signing up as one because yeah, there's a lot of human being being thrown around. I like it because it's a /tg/ that has a decent amount of traitors so rounds are interesting. The other /tg/ servers are utter poo poo and have extended mode in their secret rotation, what the christ?

As for cat people, I don't really care but I make an effort to murder them mercilessly when I'm a traitor.

Edit: OOC really just deserves to be permanently muted during a round, though.

Using a voicechat to cooperate in-game is usually considered metagaming and can be bannable. If you're completely new I'd recommend reading a bit about the interface and then just diving into a relatively low-key job like chef, barman, botanist or miner*. Joining a round as an observer to get a feel for the layout before you start playing actively is helpful, too. Skim through the wiki if you want but I find it more useful to keep up in the background so I can look things up if I have no idea what I'm doing.

*Miner is low-key unless another miner is a traitor/changeling/decides to murder everyone with the pod for no reason, in which case it's just brief.
