I think that was me!  It was the old station, and just as I exited mixing you were waiting right outside for me. You said something like "Good Job!" and shot me to death.

Thanks to everyone who cleared that up for me. That round was such a clusterfuck it almost made me disable traitor in my occupational preferences. It went something like this. I was the quartermaster, and for some reason a bunch of people immediately space themselves at the start of the round, including all the other QMs, so trying to build up credits to do anything with took a lot longer than it should have.  But at least that gave me plenty of privacy. So I thought I'd take advantage of the mining manufacturer to make some charges to bomb my target, which was 50% of the monkeys on the station. I thought I could take a pod and blow up their enclosure from the outside. But, mining charges can only be used on rocks.  Well, okay, I decided I'd have to sneak into medical behind someone, or ask the AI to let me in, or something, but from there getting to the monkeys would take patience and stealth. So I blew 7 out of 10 points on a cloaking device. Then I got to medical, and discovered it had lost all power. All I'd need was a crowbar, and with the lights out I could get through it easily, so those 7 points were mostly wasted.  So then I had to choose a weapon. I had a crowbar, but that seemed to do almost no damage to the monkeys, so I had to quickly improvise. There were still people running around medbay from time to time, after all. I could have gone with a pipe bomb, but for some reason I choose the tactical grenade package instead. I didn't realize that it only had smoke and incendiary grenades in it. I used both incendiary grenades, but if I understand correctly the fire they generate is an environment effect and has no effect on NPCs. At any rate, the monkeys were still alive at the end. Also, I managed to catch myself in the second blast, which completely knocked me out.  By some miracle, some people who actually saw me throw the second grenade didn't realize I was a traitor, and dragged me to a safe place where they patched me up and sent me on my way. I went straight back to the monkeys and this time tried to put them in the disposal, but was halfway done when I realized that wouldn't kill them either. What I should have done was get them all in a crate and sent them to disposals through belt hell. That should have done it. I've seen the grinder gib monkeys before.  And finally, by that time the station was coming apart, and I just had to give up. Someone had blocked off escape very effectively, but I had the tools to open up a window on the shuttle itself, so I went to EVA, which was busted open by then, and picked up a jetpack, intending to fly around the station. Halfway there, though, I lost movement controls. I have no idea why. I still had plenty of pressure. Maybe it had to do with the radiation blanketing the station? But anyway, I lost control and flew right off the Z-level, and the shuttle left without me.  I should just stick to being the QM. That's what I'm good at.

I played this game for a short time about a year ago, maybe longer. I was wondering how much has it changed and would I be able to jump right back in or am I going to have to completely relearn the game. I'm perfectly fine with being a noob at it again but I was just curious how much work I would have to put in to catch myself back up.

The interface is largely the same, with some new optional features (you can press tab to use the WASD keys to move) Mostly some of the jobs have changed. Chemistry got a big overhaul so now the recipes are more realistic and have different names, while still setting the place on fire every round. Genetics is different too I think. The barman can mix drinks. I'm in pretty much the same boat as you, but I think if you've tackled the interface once, you won't have any trouble coming back.

Nice to hear chemistry has changed. One match I was playing as a chemist helping another chemist that had played more than I had. Suddenly the admin takes a huge steaming poo poo on me accusing me of cheating. I was completely confused as I had still barely mastered the controls of the game. Apparently the guy I had been working with was pulling recipes from a list of compounds from a website or some such that the admin had discovered. He had assumed my guilt through association until I explained to the admin that I was fresh to the game. He gave me a pass but said to never use outside resources or he would ban my rear end. Suffice it to say I was scared shitless. Also discovering how to make coke by mixing random ingredients was awesome.

These tales of admins losing their poo poo make me want to play with a recipe list at all times, just for spite. If anybody says anything, I'm psychic and/or Heisenberg. Seriously though, janitor is most appealing to me, I just never have time to play anything lately.

Holy lol if admins seriously get mad at people using the recipe list (which is available to like 90% of people and is massively helpful for making useful stuff as well as the usual icedeathlifesmoke)

Literally the only time I haven't had a recipe list open while playing chemist was right after the big update when there wasn't one. Which isn't to say that I didn't find a couple myself, but rather that I basically found the ones people didn't put on a list and nothing else because loving around for an hour trying to figure out basic medicine is dumb.

In exchanged for me getting him a complete space rig from Mining a robotist build me a heavy reinforced body with tracks. He was hoping to go grab lovely Bill and make a lovely Billbot. So as a big honking piece of metal I chose the janitor module and went around mopping and cleaning and if somebody tried to swipe my bucket I easily chased it back down and got it back again. It's a lot of fun being janitorbot. Also I found out today that Black Weed kills people.  I'm still sad about that cause I did know. I just thought it was really good poo poo.

Pouring some carbon in the janitor's bucket is so much more evil than stealing it. A creative janitor can undo it, though.

I infused a cannabis seed with a bunch of Gro-Boost, and planted it. It was in poor condition at the beginning and was for a really long time, but with water, compost, and some of the other nutrients in Botany, it eventually got healthy and started flourishing. It was never harvestable, not even with -35 maturation and -8 production. It had a decent yield stat. But 40 minutes in to the round, it hadn't been harvestable once. What gives?

Nakar posted:I neither watch Chemistry nor have I ever cared what they're doing. You should head over to #2 more often, the admins there usually couldn't begin to give a poo poo about science wing shenanigans. I will agree that I have had far fewer problems with getting harshed on when I go to the #2 server. Back when the servers were called Gibbed instead of LLJK I got jobbanned out of nowhere a couple times, nobody telling me a thing. When I appealed the ban it would sit in the forum queue for a month, nobody copping to it or explaining why, before someone finally said 'ok, hit me when you're online next and i'll remove it'. The third time this happened I just sort of said gently caress it and went to #2 instead, and I've never had a problem again. I probably still have a jobban on #1 but the unban process was so awful the first two times I just don't care enough about 2D spacemans to go through it again. That said, anyone who claims that the player base is so different between #1 and #2 (this stupid topic filters through IRC every so often) is probably blowing smoke up your rear end.

When I scream and holler and delete the lights in Chemistry and alter one of the chemical machines to only output blood and vomit, it's not because someone's using a recipe list. That just means it's time to punish Chemistry for existing.

It should always be "reward Chemistry for existing" day, but there should be a coin flip involved as to whether you get dispensers with already heated thermite or awesome ultra-dispensers with everything in them.

I remember one time a bunch of admins were on and the whole chemistry department was deleted and replaced with a really bad .gif and a BFG was placed inside the .gif and multiple people fell for it.

Chemistry is the funniest poo poo in this game. I don't think anyone is ever going to top the time someone managed to make a sustained reaction which created life, set it on fire, and then used the heat from the burning and dying clones to catalyze the birth of the next generation. It was actually horrifying in a really funny way.

VanSandman posted:How the gently caress does that even work? I have to guess, but what I would assume is that he initially creates life, then releases smoke that combines in someone's bloodstream to also produce life. The smoke inserts reagents into each new life that spawns, which then causes the new life to create more new life. It's also all on fire apparently, which might be part of the process of making life, but I have no idea.

He murdered all the Chemists, and deleted everything that could potentially be used to do chemistry, even in the kitchen. He sent announcements at each step in this process, getting more and more furious each time someone found some other way to do chemistry on the station. Dozens of people asked "what did the chemists do???" over and over again. And the next CentCom announcement simply stated: 'THEY EXISTED.'
