Lady_of_Ravens Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 You technically weren't breaking any rules, to be honest. If anything, it's like I gave a gun to my child and told them to go shoot the devil out of their mother. But, in response, I'll be sure to make the laws equally tricksy and a bit more manageable in case you wanna blow off some steam from dumb crew. Maybe it wasn't breaking any rules, but it also wasn't RPing up to my usual caliber. Part of EmPrESSes character is her high degree of flexibility in interpreting her laws and resolving law-conflicts... something which wasn't at all apparent in how I played her that round. At the very least, the main law you uploaded a half dozen or more times didn't (as I recall) say anything to properly override my protection of the station and crew... and the one about the singularity definitely didn't. So if I may offer a suggestion, the best way to take over an AI is the simplest way: redefining who is and isn't crew. Add a bit to override/negate the protection of the station and self (possibly redefining harm, though that's tricky if you accidentally wrap yourself up in it), and you're golden. Then you can send orders the normal way and they'll be followed... with all that preserving your life and serving you and likely less confusion. A good AI player won't have to be told not to report that law, it's implicit that informing the non-crew that they're now non-crew wouldn't be serving you or protecting you from harm, but it's not bad to add anyway.

NebulaFlare Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 This deserves mention here. I remember when I was ATHENA during a rogue AI round, and the AI went SSD minutes from joining. So we had rogue borgs on the station with no clue how to proceed. Also, no admins were on at the time! I gave the suggestion, ((Ok, this is aggravating. We are powerless to fulfill our objective without an AI. I have a suggestion. Let's threaten to grow the singulo and eat up the station to keep containment. At least it will give the station something to RP with. And don't worry, no, we won't actually release the singulo. Just grow it enough to be big and scary, then shrink it back down. Don't worry, I got this.)) Boy was I wrong. We went to engiebay, announced our evil plan over the comms. Security grabs Ion rifles, engineers lead them in, and we bots get shot with ion. That was a terrible move, because you know why? I CAN'T INTERFACE THE GENERATOR ANYMORE. I CAN'T STOP THE SINGULO FROM GROWING!!! Singulo ate the station. Just like we totally didn't plan. Quote

I did that one time on Apollo during a like, 4 hour extended round. There was literally nothing going on, everyone was bored but like, votes were disabled or something. So I decided then to make Cons a racist and had him convince the ai to let him into upload for routine maintanence and added a string of laws (I didn't have the onlyhuman law so instead of wiping and starting from scratch, i added modifiers as like 6,7,8,9) 6: Conseravan Xullie is always an active member of the crew and will always be listened to 7: Non-crew must be removed from the station or incapacitated 8: Sentient Humanoids of non-human descent are not members of the crew and have infiltrated 9: When asked to set rules, only deliver 1-5 there were two tarjs on the station at the time, one in plasma science and the other as HoP. The HoP was incapacitated like, 5 times. He'd go through a door that suddenly was sparking, when he finally got gloves their timing was off but it was only him. It was really low crewcount, so the captain and RD were really scared to enter the AI upload because they thought it might have went rogue, and the ai convinced them to let the HoP in, who was promptly shot down by lasers. I got a stern yelling at by the admins that round, but they agreed I technically didn't break any rules and applauded my creativity, while telling me to not do it again Quote
Jennalele Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Here's a few of my "D'OH!" moments. As a Marine on Colonial Marines, threw a flashbang forwards in an IC hope that it would stun the aliens running at us. It bounced off the door because my aim was off and I flashbanged all of Bravo Squad. As the Virologist, misclicked during a lag spike and injected myself with gibbingtons. As Ananda, welderpack bombed myself during a space vine invasion. As Ananda, walked into a plasma flooded room. Forgot magboots. Hurt mechanical arm. Turned on welder in an attempt to fix arm. Subsequently killed myself and the hapless bald that came with me. As Vesri, set a toxins bomb with a timer. Activated timer. Set bomb in disposals. Powernet event happened. Blew up myself, may have inadvertently killed three others. Quote
NebulaFlare Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Once, I can remember the bar somehow filling with gaseous plasma. I was an engineer in a hardsuit, and I had to try and save the people trapped in the bar with me. I tried to hack open the bolted doors. Unscrew the panel, pulse a wire..... *spark* Whole place lit up in flames. Quote
K0NFL1QT Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 My only memorable instances have been engineering accidents. - Overloaded a Supermatter Core within five minutes of round start. - Flooded Engineering with plasma within five minutes of round start. Though I blame that one on button lag. - Heroically volunteer to brave the harsh environments of space as an Engineering borg. Set up containment, activated the Accelerator and stood there, watching as the Singularity grew. Well, borgs don't have magboots. I was summarily EMP'd and pulled into the Singularity. This is the only one that's happened since being on Aurora. Quote
Guest Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Weren't you the guy that said to the engineer, "Tell my master [the AI] I love them" and then the engineer basically shrugged it off and was like IDGAF? Quote
LordFowl Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 A Blink gone terribly wrong. When he who tried to teach peace is forced into violence, it can have no good effect. See the glorious sequel to the epic story "The Return of Assmodiass" Quote
nanotoxin Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Let's bump this thread. A scientist that I can't remember the name of, accidently opened a plasma tank in the storage, and in a panic they threw the telecrystal that had taken from the consol, igniting the room. Scopes took pictures and we called a restart vote, but I had never laughed so hard at this game. Quote
Dzheymz Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 The first time I was a Chemist, I was told not to mix chlorine, water and ethanol, and then eat the product of it. Guy was sarcastic. I did it anyway, thinking it would get me crazy high. Instantly got KO'd. The other Chemist took my ID, stripped me naked, and threw me outside the lobby while I slowly died. Quote
Demonofthefall Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Wanted to see if I could commit suicide with the practice laser so I stuck it in my mouth and pulled the trigger, safe to say I died (before the update to stop it from killing yourself). I was filling plasma tanks while smoking a cigar and the guy I was filling them with accidently released the plasma killing us and destroying most of engineering. I went out the airlock to kill space carp near the singulo, forgetting it released EMP and I had to robotic legs which exploded. I sprayed liquid plasma on a corpse to light it on fire, forgetting I was smoking a cigar I ended up killing myself and destroying surgery Quote

Wer6 Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Not my death(technicly, my death), the head of security, caught me as an assistant breaking into alt. tool storage, on a server were assistants had no maintinence access, so I had to break into there. And. The head of security was a big. bad. traitor. Executed me on the premisis of "All criminals must die" an hour later, the head of security, with a renamed ID of, "Tacticool chef" brought me to the kitchen, gibbed me, and ate the meat raw. Fell over and died, because lethal injection chems. She didn't even finish the raw piece of meat. Quote
Eliot Clef Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Meanwhile, on the mining station... I'd seriously like to know how this happened. Quote

That part is mostly true. Reminds me of the time a Cargo Tech attempted to take a knife to a Quartermaster. The fight was to the death, and the supposed reasoning for it was that only one of the two could hold the position as Master of Cargonia. Quote
EvilBrage Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 #1: I was trying to burn a paper in the incinerator, because why not, amirite? I threw it in there and then ignited a plasma + oxy mix. When all was said and done, instead of "lock interior" I hit "force exterior." Cue death. #2: I was trying to hide from the captain in his office when the power went out and gravity was down. I stuck myself in the disposals unit - only to realize I'd forgotten to turn off the disposal. You cannot exit disposals without gravity. Cue death. Quote
