Hey guys, i'm trying to invite a friend to start playing Colonial Marines, or SS13 in general, but i can't find a good way to describe the entire game, the gameplay, the RP aspect, all the rules about not griefing, always staying IC, etc...
Let's suppose this situation:
You have your BFF bored, without any games to play. You show CM for him once, but he is a completely bald that can't even pick a gun. After some minutes walking around the Cryo area, he just log out and say to you that was the worst game ever.
How would you describe CM for you friend, showing all the positive aspects?

How to describe CM
On May 17, 2016, a group of farmers dug up the diary of an ear of corn named Watson. Here are his entries.
Day 76:
They took Lawrence, dear god Lawrence... They ripped him off the stalk and smeared him in butter, just like Tyler and Jodie. They shipped him off to the popcorn factory...
I wonder what his wife will say.
Day 120: My brother says the VEGANS are protesting for more anti-meat bullshit. They want more of us to die. FUCKING HEATHENS.
Day 153: The ants are eating me from the inside out. They are popping out my kernels and taking them back to the nest. I feel them moving inside me. Julia says the pesticides will end our misery.
Day 300: Sweet Release. I can hear the planes flying over now. They are dropping the gas, it feels so good, sweet release-

Re: How to describe CM
The best way to describe CM is ARMA infused with Alien's lore and weed.
In other words, a military simulation where everyone is crazy and have to deal with infestations, honor-seeking predators and all manner of other wild shit.. And hopefully survive long enough for tea time.

Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

The only part i can even agree on is that balance is very twitchy and odd at times, but thats all.

positive aspects of CM? you don't have to go to the shop to buy table salt,you can just play a round of CM and watch as your chips (or fries to you American HEATHENS) get nice and salty.
