Fun stuff you like to do in general SS13

[helios345]

When you're not playing Colonial Marines (or if you are), what do you like to do when you play SS13 in general? One of my favorite past-times is training the security team from a bunch of donut-eating mall cops into an elite group of paramilitary badasses who don't take shit from any threats but always use non-lethal force unless it's an incredibly dangerous foe (like a wizard for example). Basically I make them into a supreme police force with access to literally every part of the station in case of a major emergency. A well-trained and well-equipped army is second to none, after all.

We once raided a cult-infested virology lab and flashbanged and cuffed every single one of them, about 5-7 cultists, it was absolutely glorious. Needless to say everyone could sleep soundly after the chaplain was commissioned to be our Grand Inquisitor in making the heretics renounce their evil ways.

Play serious RP on BayStation 12 without anyone fucking up our good time. I hope this come to CM, that'd be great.

Being in a competent squad is always fun

@UnknownMurder: RP ain't feasible in a combat-oriented SS13 server. Reason for that is that while you're writing a reaction to seeing an alien, you get pounced and facehugged. If a doctor stops to roleplay surprise for an "unknown body present in chest," his patient becomes a larva. If you stop to say "holy shit" after an explosion knocks your fellow marine unconscious, an alien will come and take him away into their nest. If you say "guys, I think this room was depressurized" instead of getting the fuck out of there, you get a lung rupture.

Unlike speech in real life (I can walk and talk, and I hope you can too), talking/emoting in SS13 completely takes you off the game for a few seconds. Sometimes a few seconds are all it takes.

I like doing succesful surgery on patients with my right hand missing

@Juninho77 : RPing while in those situations is possible, it just becomes knowing when is the time to RP and when is the time to be getting out before the room explodes. Though most times, it almost is near impossible, but it's the effort that counts I think!

As for some fun stuff to do in SS13 :P I'm ashamed, but I'll admit, it's fun to make some good ol' fashioned Hell Ramen, pour it in random foods and watch the fireworks. (In proper dosage, it's not lethal! So it's just minor to mild damage!) Or you know, kill an antag with it. >D

Fun for me is being a xenoarch for 4 hours, finally having the storerooms filled, all the anomaly batteries filled, and sitting back, snapping open a can of softdrink as the new xenoarch guy ducks into my lab, and being like, "Sup?"

and then shuttle gets called 17 minutes later...

Spiking the cryo mix with space drugs and mindbreaker. Thats fun.
Giving the clown 100 bananas, then telling him to 'go bananas'.
Setting mindbreaker toxin smoke grenades around the entire station and setting them all off at once.
Turning Security into the Gestapo.

I am a terrible person.
