A question on shennanigans

Post by Nezara » 21 Oct 2017, 08:57

So Iv been playing Marine alot recently and im starting to find sometimes a game can be long or boring or slow and I feel like logging off (via cryo of course). Now if its high pop 120+ or im playing with friends or with a competent commander its all good. I try other roles but sometimes I dont want the responsibility and stress of a harder role, I just want some fun, but there are some nights when its low pop 40 and I want to try something different, something fun...something that will probably get me into trouble arrested as a marine, BUT not banned for griefing.

my last game was a slow game, orders were vague, SL didnt communicate that well with the team, aliens were on guerilla warfare tactics picking people off who strayed but otherwise created no real engagements. I was running backwards and forwards trying to hunt down contact but alas I eventually got tired of running around so I went to the bar...and got drunk. I got plastered. Medic tried to help black out me and I eventually came to. I headed back on the Alamo and headed up....on my way to cryo, still drunk I grabbed a fire extinguisher and tried to break into a doctors office to grab their chair to have some fun. Surprise surprise the MP's were called...

I began tossing up options. I could keep breaking in, take the chair and take the MP's for a ride..I would eventually get caught and jailed (in which I would probably logout as soon as a could, but logging out in jail is probably considered a dick move), OR I could take the MP's for a ride and then run to cryo (again, probably a dick move). Not really knowing what that line is between having fun and griefing...and not really wanting to risk a negative note...I stopped and headed to cryo.

Which prompted me to make this post.


I wanted to know if anyone had any general suggestions for fun item interactions or some role play things I could do (sometimes with a friend) to shake things up, I fully expect to get arrested if caught or If I mess up, just so long as it does not greatly annoying other players (hell even better if its fun for them to watch). I dont plan to act in this way all the time...just on the odd slow game. I also wanted to know in that mentioned situation, when would it be ok to log out after being caught.


I want to emphasize I dont want this thread to be a "how to get away with griefing" or "how to be a dick" just...some fun or crazy role play situations I could try and initiate.

lets me know your thoughts :)

usually a ball gag, some rope and an electric sewing machine is enough to do it for me

Just have fun escaping MPs, go planetside and fight aliens while MPs are trying to find you. Get arrested and make an interesting roleplay situation so your time will pass fast enough, even if you are charged long enough when aliens will board the ship you will have to fight too. At last, ask staff about doing some more fun, admins can let you to go antag and moderators can tell you how to have fun without breaking the rules.

Good to know my behaviour was well within RP.

being relatively new to SS13 in general, are there any other fun interactions of items you can name? I know the fire extinguisher and rolling chair (which blew my mind first time I saw it), I once saw a guy set off a..not quite sure but it was a large explosion of yellow like liquid that made people slip over....can you name anything like that?

Those are foam grenades.

Generally if it doesn't specifically ruin someone's round or get people killed it will be left at an IC issue.

Slipping someone can IC issue in some situations, but slipping someone in the middle of combat with xenos is an ooc issue.

Just remember this is a medium to server.

Civilian crew aboard the Almayer always get up to some kind of shenanigans. Gives the MP's something to do, too!

The real way to say it is Non-Combat crew aboard the ship are just about always down for some solid shenanigans unless they're in the middle of doing their job.

I keep seeing these posts of Aoi Bell being hilarious, so why ban him? He brought weird easterner (probably racist) shenanigans to the server, even if a few marines had to get FFd by rapid fire akimbo smgs in the process

He was a little more than that, and was often a shitter towards people. When he didn't get his attachments, he took them from other marines. He'd flush his spec weapons (wtf), and was a spec with fancy armor and bonus attachments. Nothing more.

I also recall him being on thin ice for awhile because of his other characters' shenanigans.
