...could the spider have eight katanas? :magical:
It has to stand on at least two legs, so it can only have 6.

Can someone point me in the right direction for learning about gas mixes and reactions? I'm not looking for a straight list of instructions, but the other day I observed a badass hellburn setup while some traitor ripped apart almost the entire station with canbombs and I have no idea how even the science behind either these things works, let alone how to recreate them. I'd like to figure this stuff out for myself but the info on the wiki as to how gases function/react is sparse and just loving around in the toxin department will probably get me banned once I blow up the research wing on accident.

mix gases that are flammable into a can with different ratios and see what mix is the most flammable. and toxins is expected to blow up, so don't worry too much if that wing gets lost. you can always blame the explosion on chemistry :science:

If you're honestly and earnestly experimenting and poo poo goes south (especially if you are caught in your own hubris), you shouldn't be banned or punished at all.

Mix gases, and remember that plasma needs oxygen to burn, and outputs CO2. Also remember that gas can burn anywhere - you don't just need to put it in a canister.

I so rarely see traitors preemptively blame someone killed in the blast for explosions they cause or other havoc they wreak. It's surprising, I've gotten away with all sorts of criming when I roll traitor just by making sure there's no witnesses, then blaming the dead for my crimes (hell, even if I didn't kill them, if they're dead and nobody else knows it, they're an ideal scapegoat, especially if you prevent anyone from finding the body, so they're believed to be at large). The only danger is that Ghost Detective is becoming a more popular dead guy pastime lately, but the easy way to ruin that is to kill someone else, who will inevitably start loving with the Oujia board and render it impossible for the first guy to blow your cover in a way anyone will believe.

Hi I'm an admin and I can promise you you won't be banned for accidentally destroying stuff while researching plasma. Everyone on the staff has played and/or adminned for a long rear end time and it's really really obvious to us when someone is intentionally being poo poo vs trying to learn the game. We'll be cool with you if you're the latter.

What time is it?
Played a round as the only botanist. After i figured out how to use my backpack without beating myself in the face with it I grew some melons. I got some rainbow melons and they kept knocking me on my rear end. Shipped a bunch off to the chef and chopped up the rest to spread around the station. I stopped at the bar for a quick drink before exploring the rest of the station and the barman offered me a drink. After I took a shot a scalpel animated and chased me around, I assumed it was a hallucination or something so I didn't mind. It was not a hallucination. I crawled away and some passing doc healed me then flipped over me.

The rest of the round I was trying to find a saxophone or something. The barman told me to find a nanofab which I am sure if very helpful to nearly anyone else, but not to me. When the shuttle was called I ran as fast as I could to catch it. Sadly I mistook arrivals for escape. Cog2 is massive.

i got some cover one time by calling out a changeling that didn't exist. i "didn't catch who it was" and that (plus a changeling-free bloodtest) drew a lot of attention away for most of the round.

sorry, that was me and i was in the midst of colorful reagent-centric hijinx and couldn't remember where the lounge was on cog2. nanofabricators can make instrument parts, so if you're having a tough time finding one you can make your own. also if you have an emag you can poop out instruments at any general fabricator.

The new fluid system has some interesting interactions if you've got a lot of stuff in your bloodstream. While bleeding weapons seem to just cause a straight bloodstain, surgical mishaps appear to remove a representative sample of your blood. When I went under the knife with a robusstec implant in me (generating omnizine every time there was a wound or health problem), my character kept on bleeding a huge pool of omnizine that flooded the room. To complete the blue blood look, I later found some colourful reagent and kept ingesting it until my bloodstains roughly matched the colour.

Then I kept walking around bleeding at around the same rate the omnizine was replenishing me because the station was way too tidy.

Oh god okay.

So back in the deeps of time before I was adminned, there was a brand new poison added that was basically an immediate death sentence with very little chance of survival even if you had a fully stocked medbay ready to rock the instant you got dosed: Initropidril. Through subterfuge, spying, begging, and good old fashioned skulduggery I had managed to get the recipe. Unfortunately, word got out that I had the recipe. I couldn't go a single round without some dickweed grabbing me and welding me into a closet to try and force me to give them the recipe or the like, and this wasn't slowed down no matter how many times the jerks got banned (for when they weren't antags). So in a fit of exasperation, I told one guy that the coders had implemented fluid tracking, and that this was key to the recipe: You had to piss in a container, drink it, piss again, drink THAT, and piss yet again. This would still appear as 'urine' if you analyzed it but it's totally triplepiss you guys trust me i swear.

That got them off my nuts for about a week, but then the abductions resumed apace because obviously it wasn't working. Oh, i said, I forgot to mention - it only works if the pisser has B+ blood.

For the next few MONTHS, whoever rolled captain would IMMEDIATELY haul balls to medbay, look up in the med computer everyone with B+ blood, and two minutes later they'd have some poor assistant cornered in some godforsaken maintenance tunnel somewhere, forcing them at gunpoint to drink their own piss. That was YEARS ago and i still get asked about it once in a while.

This is easily the greatest scam I have ever pulled in SS13 and will probably be a record I never beat.
