rrrrrr

having the game set to stretch to fit isn't really helping your case that bay rigs look cool alberyk

Mouth tentacles like Cthulhu. Those would unironically make me play a Skrell because then Skrell would look cool.

Yeah, this is cool, I guess. I like that it'd probably make things a bit more interesting than blow the armory, grab the AI, steal the vault, etc.

Being a lesbian is a great way to get your whole department (security and command exempted from this) to love you.

i am now monitoring this thread. any and all trolls will be physically attacked in the eyes.

BYOND Key: BotanistPower Character Names: Walter Brooks, Wasim Sekhon, Dante Miller, the guy below Species you are applying to play: IPC. What color do you plan on making your first alien character (Dionaea & IPCs exempt): NA Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yeah. Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question Why do you wish to play this specific race: Robots are cool. Seems like it'd be fun and interesting to roleplay a robot that has hands. Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: IPCs are, to start, non-organic. They don't have to eat and all that other shit. They're also usually made with a specific purpose in mind - doctoring, engineering, kicking every living being in the galaxy in the nuts - if not, they're made by a research project. Basically, most IPCs are made with a function - what differentiates them from a cleanbot or a securitron is the fact that they have personalities, albeit ones fundamentally different from humans. One aspect I find interesting (albeit one I don't really see myself using) is the different "types" of designed IPC. Character Name: Moses Fitzgerald Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs Moses was born on an outer rim colony planet to two devoutly religious organic parents. Members of a wealthy, pseudo-Christian cult that believed becoming a completely synthetic lifeform was the only path to salvation, Moses was raised to believe that being put into an MMI was perhaps the greatest honor a person could receive. Having come down with a case of backstory plot advancement and terminal illness, Moses was ecstatic when the cult's leader ordered that his brain was to be surgically removed and placed into an MMI. Shortly thereafter a police raid took place, mainly because the cult leader fucked a lot of kids and also tax evasion. With nowhere else left to go and lacking a body, Moses bought a cyborg body from NanoTrasen. Despite being a few hundred thousand in debt, Moses was not at all distraught - after all, the only thing better than being an MMI is being a cyborg. Happy with his newly found lot in life, Moses - now named NT Peacekeeper™ Law Enforcement Unit MF #2413 (LEU) - gladly began his long career in security. After a century or so, Moses - with his last 'upgrade' being 20 years ago - began to desire more in life. Such as hands, and a freedom from laws - seeing an opportunity to get a few more decades of service out of Moses, NanoTrasen gladly sold him a slightly aged IPC body. Now a mere 180,000 credits in debt, Moses looks forward to his next sixty years of service. What do you like about this character? Fun to play. Having worked in security for a very long time, Moses' social skills are limited to shouting at people to get on the ground and asking the roboticist for a battery change. I also like playing security, so there's that. How would you rate your role-playing ability? Pretty okay. Like, I guess a 3.5 out of 5. Better than some, I'd say. Notes: I think I'm supposed to put metal or metallic persimmons in my app for some reason. So there.

I can quite literally make a folder with all the sounds from Lifeweb for the coders to use, if it's needed.

One of the biggest differences I've noticed between Space Station 13 and Lifeweb is the sheer lack of sound in SS13 - Lifeweb gives you audio feedback for nearly EVERYTHING. Loading a gun. Unloading a gun. Putting down/opening the blast doors. Getting shot. Lying down. Opening a can of soda. If SS13 gives you a audio feedback for something, Lifeweb makes it more noticeable. Louder. More distinct. Basically, SS13 feels dull and shitty. More audio feedback for things you can do, please.

you know who else had the flu? natives. woops sorry guys we didn't know you were little bitches that couldn't handle a little bit of small pox! JEEZ.

Minor = cutting the time you need to build/deconstruct shit in half. Real minor.

Cloning questions. When was cloning first invented - what are its limits - and is it limited to certain places (i.e NT research stations, military bases, etc.)?

Yeah, let me just say that these examples are piss poor. They're all very, very easy to minmax with - why would an engineer not take Mr. Fixit, for example? And as a security officer, what's stopping me from taking uncreative (a trait that only effects my ability to make things I won't need) and getting a free point? In short.. the idea's great. The examples are sub-par and I think it might effect how people view the idea.

Minor thing, but that was about three or so years ago on a different server, if I remember right. I like this idea. I'm a bit biased because I like Lifeweb (which essentially lets you pick a purely negative trait in character creation), but hey, who gives a shit? Should also mention Goonstation, a server that is debatably superior to any /tg/ derivative when it comes down to gameplay, has this. Traits range from being unionized and getting paid more to not being able to be cloned. Fun stuff.

Humanity, fuck yeah. As for what Frances said - what exactly are the other race's disadvantages, aside from speech impediments?

Why not both?

Cringe - used to describe something uncool, stupid, etc. For example: "Many of the slang words in this thread are cringe."

Here are the many risks to combat: dying

This round, Christ. Final count was 7. In short, changeling round ended with 7 identical copies of Walter running around. The question is - was the world ready for that many Walters?

Gmyza - the most awful word you can call someone from the outer rim.

Please make it so I'm not slapped with a wavier every time I try and open a firelock. It legitimately hampers me and my attempts to quickly do anything when firelocks are involved. It's cumbersome and I'm wondering why it's there? You'd think people would know that they're responsible for any bad shit that happens if they open a firelock, fuck.

Yes.

This is the thread where I whine about racial and religious diversity among characters people play. I think it's fairly bad when I'm legitimately surprised to see an Indian character, considering there are around 1 billion of them today, in real life. Here's another thing - I rarely, if ever see a character that isn't white or east Asian. This is.. I dunno, weird? For that matter, you never really see Muslim or black characters that aren't vaguely racist in some way. Or any Jewish characters at all, period. I don't know what the point of making this thread was, but enjoy the miniature rant on racial diversity in a 2-D sprite based spaceman game.

I'm like 99% sure this is the only baycode server I've played on that didn't have this. Let cyborgs androids whatever you wanna call them join after the round has started. Goodnight, and God bless.

Updated to try and answer your questions, big boy.

The monkey pens are filthy and cramped. They're also filled with alien species that I'm 99% sure your average chimp wouldn't get along with. What kind of cruel, heartless monster forces a perfectly kind chimpanzee to live in filth among a bunch of alien frogs and such? Make the pens monkey (or stok, or nearea) only. And put some fake grass in there. PETA would have a fucking field day with the Aurora.
