things for burnt out players to explore

Post by Shadowflame909 » #644387

If your burnt out and still playing the game. It is only a times away before you do something that'll get you banned or in the admins sights. Therefore, I've found a few underused things in the game that get little to no attention throughout the rounds. Here are some of them.

1. Helpful Kudzu. Did you know kudzu can be used for actual good? I doubt it, since the only people who make it are antags or random events! If used for good, it can spread light everywhere, absorb plasma and co2 in the air, and act as a transparent and easily traversable layer that does not impede players. Quite interesting to experiment with.

2. Do Cytology. This is quite the underused mechanic for maint VAT soup explorers. Make rarely seen mobs that'll definitely take all round to make. Avoid getting murdered by them. Find a use for them? (They have some neat mechanics..but I haven't gotten to this part yet.) It's a fetch quest that will keep the burn out at bay.

3. Do the cargo explorer drone missions. They exist, but i've never seen them used. Its like orion trail but for cargo goodies. Try it?? (No wiki guide so read the PR or code dive)

4. Be the black market sales man. Use the black market. Buy stuff from it. Sell stuff from it. Be cool! Get arrested!

5. Break out of perma because you did one of the 4 things and it somehow went wrong. Do the unstoppable. Dont grief sec. Survive the harshness of space!

If you've done all this. You have mastered the game. Feel free to go back to greytiding to get dopamine and eat the ban.

Any other underused mechanics that exist but no one consistently explores during the rounds? Leave them here!

Wouldnt say I'm burned out but I have been playing TGMC and having the opportunity to learn new jobs and roles as well as try dumb strategies is one of the things I enjoyed greatly when I was learning TG

There's a whole station of other people. Talk to them. Make friends. Teach newbies. Help people. Engage the quirks and storylines around you. React to things. Be a part of a story where you're not the hero.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Oranges the wise?
I thought not. It's not a story the admins would tell you. It's a coder legend.
Darth Oranges was a code lord, so wise, so powerful, that he could manipulate the code to create life().

If you give someone a year to stop shitting on the carpet and they keep doing it but get slightly closer to the bathroom every time and sometimes they get to the toilet before it happens, at what point does it become acceptable to just ask them to go shit in someone else's house?

Clownmart pawn shop is great. Do it 3 rounds in a row once a week.
As an antag, try holding someone hostage. It's difficult to do. I did it once as a cargo tech by getting emag for contraband crates and a sleepy pen, and a big old bomb. I held them hostage on mining station and blew us both up when sec raided

Embrace the chaplain role.

Grab bronze and hack the chappie vendor for Ratvar plushie and pretends it's clock cult.

Make wire art of your god/gods.

If you have a god gimmick there is a decent chance someone will join you. Make sure everyone knows what your gimmick is.
