Nothing. You have to stick out pretty bad to get whacked by an admin. As an alien I pretty much beeline for the shuttle regardless of the queen's orders and spend most if the match crawling around the spaceship vents ambushing people.

As anal as the rules are, the admins aren't trying to get people to leave the server - the worst I ever got was a 2 hr ban. Also if you know the rules you know the best ways to feign ignorance or get out of minor altercations (like cutting all of someone's limbs off and having them report you which I then got out of by claiming I was in a hurry and didn't have time to do surgery properly). The server isn't the nofun hellscape goons like to claim it is, but that's just like, my opinion.

That's why I mention it. CM was actually how I got into SS13 - the more straightforward guided experience let me focus on learning one thing at a time while still feeling like there was some purpose to me being there instead of the whole thing being postmodern goon hijinks simulator #534

A lot of what I've said has been hyperbole. Yes the admins enforce roleplay and can come off as stiff when dealing with players, but overall it's not bad. When I got my legs blown off for playing around with a wheelchair it was during a special event, so admin scrutiny was a bit stricter.

Yeah, if they had given you like an hour ban or something like that then it would be pretty poo poo, but blowing your legs off for playing in a wheelchair is something that I could see a drunk goonstation admin doing on a whim.

On a related note why does medbay not have a wheelchair? I love the cut off all my limbs and force someone to roll me for the whole round gimmick but right now I have to use an office chair or roller bed with a tequila iv attatched.

Broadly speaking from experience; with Goonstation so long as you tell people what you're doing to them, and they consent, it's all kosher. And honestly, I'd wager most goons would INSIST you fill their IV bag with as many drugs as you have on-hand. Or that you make more this instant!

Forcing someone to drink your 'hilarious' drugmix is bad, but offering a glass of your hellish thrillride of narcotics in a cocktail glass for them to drink by choice is fine.

Well, I'm pretty sure I just successfully achieved the miscreant objective to enforce as much petty bureaucracy as possible.

All departments had their power off until a written request was provided. Conservation policies, you see, power isn't free. The AI was also enforcing petty regulations by refusing to obey orders unless they were provided in writing or by a Department Head. By the end, I was no-one's friend.

Your killer track.




I can't remember what server it was on (all the non-goon, non-CM servers blur together for me) but I used to always play as a legless, half-blind Head of Security constantly suffering from epileptic seizures (you can pick all this stuff during character creation). It created this great juxtaposition where the RP security crew has to be respectful of the chain of command and help me get around, brutally punishing anyone that pushes me out of my wheelchair, while simultaneously quickly going through all the proper paperwork to get me fired because I'm completely useless at my job.

I'll also try to immediately murder the pets as discreetly as possible because nothing creates station-wide chaos like someone announcing that the corgi's been beaten to death.

End of the round. I was actually one of the few to make it off the station due to Horse Horsington flooding the shuttle with metal foam. I was in the shuttle sickbay, patching myself up from the barman beating me up and throwing me out the airlock.

Said beating may have been due to me standing by the (unlocked) shuttle door, demanding to see people's tickets and/or travel papers at the time while insisting they wouldn't get to depart otherwise.

For what it's worth, an Engineer with a miscreant objective to make the station messy did so by scrawling "THE CAPTAIN SUCKS" and "gently caress THE CAPTAIN" in big letters on the hallway floors all throughout the station. I consider that a win.

I hosed up trying to make Colorful Reagent and ended up with a beaker full of drugs, acid, mutagen, and nasty chemicals that I couldn’t use. I turned them into pills, headed for the bar and asked the barman if he wanted to become a drug dealer. Handed over the pill bottle with the disclaimer that these pills are basically toxic waste and will more than likely kill anyone who eats them.

He offered the annoying screaming guy who has hung out at the bar all round a deal, if he ate a pill he’d give him free booze for the rest of the shift. The guy took the pill and announced he was tripping balls, puked everywhere, and ran away saying monsters were trying to kill him. Problem solved!

Way back on mushroom station, I repeatedly attempted to figure out Grog. I usually ended up with a watering can full of heinous poisons, drugs of all sorts, and rum.

Most of these times, I was HoP, so I'd head back to my desk and announce that anyone who drank and survived a shot of my signature house cocktail, Space Nightmare ™, would receive boosted access.

I of course sample my own supply and am an epileptic fat man. Two people come to take the Space Nightmare ™ challenge. First guy downs a shot, says that he feels fine, walks away, and gibs in five steps.

Customer #2 drinks her Space Nightmare ™, loses her hair, and goes blind. After waiting a minute due to a seizure to check for any further effects, I promote her to Captain and proceed to drink myself into the grave.
