in Space Station 13 the Staff Assistants wear grey suits. For some reason people think there should be no rules and Staff Assistants should be able to cause complete murderous chaos every round and get really mad when they get in trouble for this

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

sounds like greytiding is some high-quality old-school goonery, good for them

I played with a lot of goons in Battlefield 4. With 5-10 coordinated goons on the same voice chat, you can absolutely stomp every single pubbie

Finding live Twitch streamers to invade and dunk on was really fun too.

These days it doesn't take much to make people mad about video games, simply playing it better than them is usually enough :smuggo:

it's fun once in a while but it's kind of boring when every round ends up that way. bear in mind this is a 2D game with hour-long rounds that rides on paranoia, suspicion and constantly infuriating everyone around you

The goon serves are really, really lax on rules anyway, it's like the forum rule of "being an rear end in a top hat is fine as long as you're entertaining", the people who get in trouble/complain are always the deeply unfunny annoying ones

SS13 is a weird game in that its absolutely designed to allow for hilarious goonery and stuff but then everyone wants to do that goonery and most people are garbage at it and then the game just becomes non-functional.

idiots going on rampages every round is boring, and interferes with people exploiting the hell out of the game engine to do actual hilarious poo poo that takes time to set up, like eating the sun or creating flying fractal sandwiches so complicated that they crash the server. it's the quality, not the quantity that matters

I like when the admin deleted chemistry because they kept on making bombs, and then removed the cleaning products because they kept on making bombs, and finally gave up when they figured out how to destroy the station with potato chips and water.

We recently went over it in the PYF little thing about game AND things dragging games down if you feel like doing some forums archeology.

Otherwise I would suggest you do a search for SS13 Crashwich in the old griefing thread to get the gist of most of those things.

Coolguye posted:

I wish I could find the screencaps on the wiki of the time Pope[crunch] went absolutely loving apeshit on Chemistry. 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.'

PopeCrunch posted:

I couldn't figure out how you goatfuckers STILL managed to be terrorists with potato chips and water. YOU FOUND A WAY. I had two coders on IRC combing through reactions trying to figure out exactly how you motherless fucks were managing to make potato chips and water into explosives, and they had no loving idea. It shouldn't have been possible. It couldn't have been possible. I fear for the safety of the world if the people who managed to find a way to do murders with mother loving potato chips and goddamned water ever get recruited by a real world terrorist organization. The headlines the next day will read something like WE'RE ALL hosed: SOME NERD KILLS 3/4 OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION WITH A USED BANDAID AND THE SQUEAKER FROM A DOG TOY. THIS SECURITY PHOTO SHOWS THE SUSPECT PURCHASING A STICK OF GUM. DOES HE WANT FRESH BREATH, OR IS HE FINISHING THE JOB? OUR ONLY CONSOLATION IS THAT WE WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE IT COMING. FILM AT 11 IF WE'RE LUCKY. OR UNLUCKY. gently caress IT. WHATEVER. -(AP)

edit to add: I would like to thank the Maker's Mark Distillery for providing me with the liquid courage to have made it through that terrible time

Basic story is that in BYOND, the framework that SS13 is built in, everything is an object. Including the UI, probably the individual text in chat, everything. Someone figured out a way to grab the UI with their character and eat it.


This is probably one of the lesser weird things that have happened in SS13's history, which includes things like an admin having to try and find a single log/screenshot where someone wasn't farting so he could turn that in to the FBI without having to explain why farting is so ubiqitous on SS13.

when I played Eve goonswarm the guy in charge of the guild said "gently caress goons" and sold all the goons virtual spaceships and ran off with the money, but that was like a normal everyday thing that was expected to happen, so goons were just like "yeah gently caress goons" and doxxed him. I mean it was good for the game but was a typical case of goon mmo behavior as a creeping forum sickness

Remedy/Remedial is a big fat guy

His parents are rich and they paid his way to Harvard Law I think, but instead of going he decided to marry a big fat ugly puerto rican girl and play the whole thing off like his parents refused the marriage and disowned him because he stuck to prnciple

He went on to lead the goonswarm goon goons in the eve goon game goon

In order to pay rent after he was cut off and refused on principle to get a job and support himself, he took up donations and sold eve online goon goon related merchandise, making literally thousands of dollars from those pathetic creatures

And so he was wed to his West Side Story meets Applebee's bride, which was attended by the eve goon spaceguild

Then, as the eve goon guild goons were saving up all their spacebucks to buy the biggest, shiniest imaginary spaceship of all, he raided the spacebuck reserves, stole the money, resold it, and used that to pay for more rent/fatty foods

He was just permabanned after someone hijacked his account and posted naked pictures of him and his empanaza wife, which he and she took originally send to woman on the internet and attempt to strike up a three-way

these are the facts as i understand them, but i could be wrong here or there

Here is what happened in EVE: People found a way to let people gamble in-game currency on out-of-game websites. Goons, for once, didn't go whole hog into this incredibly lucrative business, but were a small part of it. Anyway, the people who ran the casinos essentially had a few infinite money buttons, and so grew increasingly powerful, but they rarely flexed that power in-game. Then a goon or two tried to rob one of these casinos, and maybe succeeded? Anyway, they were found out, and the people running the casinos funded infinite war against goons as way of retribution. Goons, not having very many in-game friends, got utterly wrecked as every dipshit with a grudge (as opposed to dipshits with a something awful forums account) got in on essentially risk-free anti-goon war since new characters, ships, etc. were essentially free for the asking because the money men behind the casinos were paying out that hard to gently caress over goons forever.

As far as I'm aware, goons have lost nearly all territory and have begun to leave the game in droves.
