I saw a very ss13 story in the Oxygen Not Included thread a week or two ago. One of the player's colonists had a quirk where they farted natural gas. The player didn't realize this and eventually the natural gas sunk down and clogged the colony CO2 scrubbers and next thing you know, entire group is suffocating to death because of one man's unfortunate flatulence.

From the sounds of it you guys would make it a funny thing, rather than the typical random beatdowns i'd used to get from non-traitors.

If someone breaks into the room I'm working in and doesn't respond when I try to talk to them, I used to just flush myself down the disposal chute and come back later.

I was not a fan of the disposals belt being sped up.

I followed the captain into the bridge on Clarion as a clown. I drank his champagne and ran around honking and farting. He yelled at me to get out then broke a wine glass and started stabbing me with it!

I ran into the AI chamber while the other head on the bridge started yelling that the captain was a clown-murdering traitor. I got permastunned but was able to set up a law that made shoes illegal.

I started yelling LET ME OUT on the radio. The chaplain let me out somehow. The captain was lynched and committed suicide. The chaplain announced he knew how to get us out and biblefarted. All four of us on the bridge biblefarted in turn and the shuttle was called. It was 18 minutes into the round.

Then the nuke ops showed up and blew up the station before the shuttle arrived. A+ clowning.

On goonstation farting on the bible causes you to instantly gib (explode) with the message "X has been smited by a mysterious force!"

Speaking of gibbing: I was pleased to discover that running up to someone, opening up a locker filled with explosive vegetables and a remote igniter right next to them, then detonating it from a safe distance (around 5 tiles) gibs them instantly and creates an impressive hole in the station.

Playing doctor is pretty fun. The surgery gameplay is pretty deep. The community seems to have settled down abit; mods seemed to have clamped down on the racism that comes from the /tg/ players.

I think a good deal of people have either burned out on the game from almost a decade of playing, plus newbies to the genre are more attracted to the more recent, more high population servers with much different game modes, as well as different moderation/administration as mentioned above (for good, or more often for ill.)

I think the only way you'll see a renaissance of Goonstation back to the multiple-packed server days is if a full standalone server/client is developed from the open source by either a team that picks up where the project left off including creating art from scratch that was not included in the release, or by one insane Toady One-style dev.

Triage is the right idea when playing medic, dylguy, except you tend to fall into that hole where the only people you end up saving are the clown and Irene Mincene.

the clown is the only crewmember worth saving. the ideal escape shuttle should consist of yourself and the clown.

Ideally you should try and be on the good side of the clown, but only if they're too squirrely to be pummeled with farts.

Chump clowns are no good for anyone.

Admin PM from-hukhukhuk (IRC): did he break the law, are you serving the public trust/protecting the innocent?
HELP: You: Oh yeah, he's been rude.
Admin PM from-hukhukhuk (IRC): is he an OCP officer?

"Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That's just basic cause and effect. It's easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic cannot be stopped."

It was covered a couple pages back, if that dude was not a traitor, that sort of behavior should be reported to the admins, because it's blatantly murder.

In a case of life imitating art, someone had a cheap effective non gun solution to increasing school safety against shooters: give every classroom a fire extinguisher. Shooter in the area? Hide behind the door, if they enter, blast em with freezing cold co2 to blind/disorientate/suffocate them temporarily and then subdue. If needed, club them with the extinguisher and throw them out an airlock

No word yet on mandatory school clowns as an additional safety option

What if we just give the teachers Chem access and let them fill the extinguisher with whatever mix they want.
