What type of event would you make?

[getfreur]

If you had the Power to make any type of event, what event you would make?

I would make a even where ALL player are survivor with a small clf garrison, need to hold the colony útil CLF reinfocements arrive against aliens.

[simonset55]

I do enjoy an almayer invasion event with UPP forces, insert a russian song MIDI for bonus point

[GenericUsername]

Marines vs CLF is always the best, no doubt. Specially on BR

[Recounted]

Space boarding event. Marines have to wear down a couple hostile ships to disable it then proceed to baord it in order to capture the ship and the hostiles or important details.

[GoliathTheDespoiler]

Replace survivors with CLF soldiers.

Or have a containment event involving the SCP foundation (if i could break lore)

Or have a predator invasion instead of xenos with the preds being weaker than normal but greater in number

[Vispain]

My favorites are the events where a "UPP Destroyer *Commie Name* " or something or another transmits a message to the Almayer saying something like "You are trespassing. Surrender your arms and prepare to be boarded."


A scenario like where we had, more or less, our beloved Almayer "fighting" a "UPP warship" makes it all the more interesting.
Hell, I remember a round where UPP took over the Almayer, defeating the xenos who had killed the marines and Ivan aka Hacked ARES used the Almayer's weapons to fend off another USCM warship.
The RP then went further with extra fluff of the same UPP warship transmitting they'd be towing the Almayer back to a UPP orbital dock. Stuff like that feels good.

Stuff like that is always amazing and often it doesn't even have to involve landing on the planet, although it would be cool to throw that bit in somehow.

CLF rounds don't feel the same way for me. They feel uber combat based because CLF are basically terrorists while UPP are a actual political entity

[davidofmk771]

ANY type of event? If I could sprite and code? Klendathu invasion. The similarities of the Colonial Marines and the Federation is utterly undeniable, James Cameron was partially inspired by Starship Troopers when he created the Colonial Marines. Given how much "bugs" are casually mentioned in Aliens, we never get to see anything other than xenos and fawras. Whenever I see xenos called "bugs", I just imagine marines being hacked apart and melted in a WO-style desert map by pretty much the same bugs you see in the Verhoeven movie. There could even be an offensive marine win condition, something like invading a cave and killing/capturing the brain bug.

Honestly I think the bugs of ST would fit the server perfectly if you just take away their asteroid-tossing abilities. If they were locked on one planet, they wouldn't be much more than a resource-blocking nuisance, something i'd imagine W-Y has the USCM throw boots at often.

I also agree with UPP anything. I think a sense of 'don't shoot the green guys the instant you see them' has slowly been instilled in the marines as events have been held, and it's really starting to become a fun "Cold War Border-Tensions in Space" simulator.

[completelynewguy]

SS13 equivalent of playing RS2's community maps, on the Territories game mode, like Firebase Georgina or Lolo.

[Cry of Wolves]

Ice Colony with the Zombie Virus. everyone starts out as Colonist. once shit goes down hill, USCM comes to aid and also gets rekt'd.

[Simo94]

The Thing on ice colony.

[GoliathTheDespoiler]

The Thing on ice colony.

+1

[DeusMortis]

If I could host an event, it'd a Vietnam one where Marines would be equipped with older gear such as the M16, .45 M4A3s, basic first aid kits, etc. The enemy Marines would be facing would be CLF with equally as old equipment (their normal equipment, basically).

[Rio]

The Thing on ice colony.

+1

Round would also need Midis of the soundtrack, and .357s and flamethrowers are the only weapons allowed.

[Heckenshutze]

SCOTLAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!

Shut it nothern england

[Forst]

When I was an admin on Yogstation I did a few events. Cant say that all were good but I liked them.

Space Sprite, which was my favorite.

► Show Spoiler

I had, before the round started, filled mining with all sorts of terrible creatures(before the shift to lavaland). I was a small ball of light called a Space Sprite. In my description I said that I could lead you to great treasures, or a terrible fate. Due to admin fuckery, mining was exceptionally well off since I was leading the miners to huge deposits of ore.

Then I lead them to some bananium and let their greed take hold. They were floored by the surge of resprited simple mob faithless monsters to look like some of my random monster sprites. They were upset with me in deadchat, but they said they understood.

The Crate

► Show Spoiler

I turned a dead player into a fantastical beast, gave them free reign to dick around, and stuffed them in an animal crate. The crate literally said "DANGEROUS SPECIMEN, DO NOT OPEN". Another player was the hunter who captured it alive, and was collecting the bounty the Captain posted on said beast.

Captain didn't know anything about this. The hunter was told to do whatever and performed as well as they could when the Captain opened the crate to see it for himself.

The round for quite awhile longer as the monster hunted down survivors in the hallway. It was a good round.

----

The next time I did a crate event the Captain and RD happened to be part of the original. The Capt gave the hunter the nuke disk, and the RD blew up the box with a maxcap bomb at the testing lab.

The Beast

► Show Spoiler

I realized that the two wish granters could be used if you removed antag status. Use one for immortality, and then the other which cursed you. Then turn into a skeleton.

You had a hulking telekenetic glowing skeleton with laser eyes. Only a mild amount of admin fuckery to make, and terrifying to fight against. I let one loose on the station. It died in a glorious shootout near medbay after murdering half the station.

Dead Space

► Show Spoiler

They were never as good as my XCOM sprites, but I had a decent set of Dead Space pixels to run events with. A strange crate containing a dead space marker was left in the chapel before the round started, leaving the chaplain to do whatever he wanted with it.

I did literally nothing this round. People were freaking out because they were hearing voices in the halls and the walls were bleeding. All kinds of random shit, most of it lies and the other was changelings going wild with their hallucinogen sting.

Spirit Detectives

► Show Spoiler

Apparently ectoplasm spawned somewhere so an assistant and the detective became Spirit Detectives to investigate. They had their own news story where they published ideas and hoaxes. They performed interviews, kidnapped a legit changeling, and one of them even tried using drugs to communicate with the spirit realm.

Seeing as I could have a bit of fun with this, I spawned in as a fly person in a trenchcoat. I caught one in the hall, and offered them a box full of pictures of cult constructs and xenos, in return for one thing. A single human soul.

They found some other assistant who volunteered because they were bored. I gave them the box, they started frantically going through the photos wondering where I got them. Then I exploded the assistant into gibs.

"This pact is sealed.", I said. Then I exploded into gibs and spiderlings. The detective did his best to kill them all with his gun, but there was more than he could shoot.

There were already spiderlings on the station from other lings, so I gave the assistant I exploded control of one and named him Spiderbro. Rest of the round went normally except the detective had PTSD and a spider was working the bar.

Talking Dog

► Show Spoiler

I liked to posses a dog, have it say "No-one will ever believe you" then de-possess the dog.

Pizza Pete and Party Phil

► Show Spoiler

A local radio DJ held a contest and the station won a pizza party. I laced all the pizzas and booze with LSD so it was gonna be a wicked party. We showed up in a horse mask/owl mask, Hawaiian shirts and sandals.

We were partying in the dorms, literally like 30 people showed up and were all really fucked up on drugged pizza, drugged booze and a laser light show happening in the holodeck.

Apparently the clown was an "escape alone" traitor because he used a pizza bomb and somehow emagged the holodeck console to release carp.

Everyone on the station died within ten seconds. Still a good party.

The Warlock

► Show Spoiler

Another admin wanted to test out one of the new monsters that came with lavaland before we actually made the shift. I became a wizard so I could teleport around with it.

He clicked AI chamber instead of Admin something, leading him to land directly in the AI core. It started screaming so I admin spawned smoke and sparks to make it seem magical. The AI took that as an act of war.

Security came in guns blazing and it escaped. The other admin and I didn't really plan for this, but we had accidentally made the creature unkillable. Since I was a wizard, why not have some sort of magical duel?

I renamed my wizard cult sword into some fancy sounding thing. Then I went into battle.

Security shot me dead.

I came back as a ghost, and after the crew tried shooting me again, told them that I came to help them, and that their salvation lay with me. Use the HOLY RELIC, slay the dragon like a hero of Olde.

They eventually got it. Like ten people died trying to club it with fire extinguishers, but eventually it got hit with the sword and exploded into acid mist.

[Wubs4Scrubs]

Have 5 CLs on the ship all competing for a sizable bonus. Objectives get progressively more ridiculous as the round progresses.

[Hastati]

Round starts as normal. Distress beacon is heard, soon followed by encrypted transmission. At 12:15, an impact is felt on the Almayer as a ship plows into the hull.
It's full of clowns.

[Nicboone]

Ship to ship combat.

I did it before and i will again motherfuckers.

A Human vs Human event in Whiskey Outpost map.

It’d be more or less simple. A UPP group or a commando team have to infiltrate/attack the base. Take some cargo, sabotage something or assasinate/kidnap someone or just eleminate all marines. They’ve inserted through the crashed dropship or so.

Marines on the other side are unaware or move in to investigate the crash. Their objective beingand defending their base. For them its just another regular day. Would probably be something new and interesting as no Almayer is around.

Or even placing xenos instead. However, the game mode is meant to be either the default infestation or extended roleplay.



Another idea would be a human vs human round in LV map. Have responders fill the planetside roles at nexus and so on, security marshalls, bartenders, colony director and so on. Put in a small team of CLFs forces over by secure storage or something. Their mission is to get aboard the Almayer as spies and try to sabotage or take control of the vessel. Taking down T-Comms, storming CIC and sending a distress beacon.

Once the distress beacon is sent CLF reinforcements come in via shuttles and the colonists all rebel on the USCM forces and try to take over DS1.

USCM objective would be to defend their ship and take over the colony.



As for events involving xenos, I think feweh made a great one earlier where power went down, xenos overran the upper deck and CIC and when the power went up most were unaware and in disarray.

Hostile freelancers in prison station. UPP presence in Ice colony. Some event with predator drama. Where predators are the protagonists.

Theres really a lot of possibilities. Problem is that on high pop the server gets laggy and crashes can also happen.

[Jonesome]

I saw this suggestion a while back, but it would be like a prequel to the events on LV-624, where the round starts with a fully-functioning colony and human garrison of scientists, miners, and other colonists. One person is chosen to be infected, and that chestburster goes on to lead the infestation that slowly grows over the course of the round. It ends colonists either repelling the Aliens or being overcome and making a last stand. Bonus points if it then continued as a normal CM round with the marines touching down.

[Saxis]

My event would basically be the USS Almayer replacing the USS Sophora in Alien lore.

The old Sulaco map is reinstated with a landing point for the Alamo at the Sulaco's escape wing. W-Y PMCs control the bridge of the Sulaco who use its guns to fire upon the Almayer. Of course while all of this is happening xenos have infested the entire ship. There would basically be three battles occuring: humans fighting against each other, humans fighting the xenos, and the struggle of the Alamayer's staff desperately trying to do damage control (fight fires, fix breaches, etc) and stop the ship's nuclear reactors from going critical. I think there would be a lot of potential for great RP especially for the ship-side crew like the MTs.

[Bancrose]

This would be good, its got everyone in it.

Its a round where its on LV and it starts out with the colony not being actually destroyed yet. In the time that marines are getting into briefed, the last of the colonists are getting captured and slaughtered. The CL is already aware its a WeYu Experiment. As marines land, CLF is spawned and The Marines and CLF attempt to kill the newly started hive. Marines get into a 3 way firefight between the CLF and Aliens. Preds are just out and about, A few colonists are suppose to be guaranteed to survive only to try and get away from the CL.

UPP enter the orbit of LV and attempt to fire upon the Almayer and board it. Death squad at the end. Its just hectic and nobody knows whats going on. But Carson has to be the commander as part of the catch for the event. Also CL has to try and avoid the wrath of the Marines and attempt to cover up the whole story by killing the survivor.
