/tg/Station 13

A counter to the "Pet Peeves" thread. What makes you keep coming back to the game? What things make your in game day?


As a borg I like it when people actually give me a pet for doing a good job.
I also love finding random coins as an assistant/low level job, I treat it as my lucky coin for the round, flipping it for good luck.

When I arrest a traitor or get arrested as a traitor I love one final RP session with the HoS or captain before the execution/permabrigging.

People who actually do their jobs, or leave people to do their jobs (as someone who often plays CMO it's awesome seeing someone yell for help and then let the doctors do their job instead of just dragging their buddy to a sleeper and playing doctor themselves).

Elaborate murders. Something is particularly hilarious about cuffing someone and keeping them stunned as the cargo conveyor belt sends them off, or buckle cuffing someone to a chair wearing EVA equipment and oxygen, but they're right in the way of the emergency shuttle, or another shuttle.

People who say "Yes" to my heal viruses, Cargo techs that order the crate before I get the CMO stamp to save time, getting Armory access from the HoP so I can give Sec and Sci lovely AE guns, and people who enable their suit sensors when I am AI so my medhud works.

Dead clowns and mimes.

The little heart thing Ian does when you pet him.

Engiborgs, most of the time, are absurdly cute.

Casual misspellings that have become memetic like fagit and tator.

I like it when you're an engineer, get the singulo running perfectly and the AI announces it over the Vox thing.

On a related note, i also like it when you're doing well in your department and your head makes a note of it. Even a simple "Thanks" or a "Good Work" can make my day.

Clowns, in general.

Speaking of petting, it makes me smile when I pet a borg, and it pings in response!

When clowns are actually funny.

Which usually involves them getting seriously injured

When engiborgs ask for pets after helping out, and wait around for it like a puppy.

When, as RD, I tell my department I'm a rogue as fuck changeling and they just think it's funny and send me debrained bodies to eat

When my borgs come back to cuddle me on the satellite as the station or drag me to the shuttle as it's about to take off.

Borg pings in general.

Binary chat when the borgs and AI are veterans to the roles. Humans have no idea the shit we talk behind their backs.

When I drag somebody throwing a total shitfit in the brig over to interrogation and they actually settle down and talk to me like an adult. This has happened exactly twice.

Awwwwperative

All 4 solars wired into the grid powering the station, with the singulo not set up and the parts locked away. I've done this as CE a few times, it didn't stop a traitor from coming and dismantling the smes in engineering anyway to try to release the non-existent singularity. Not only was there no singulo to release, but the station remained fully powered. More people need to use solars.

When a tator pulls out a double bladed esword and rushes you, and you pull out a spear and wield it and the first hit was yours and a knockout. Didn't even kill the guy, just spaced the esword.
RNGesus answers prayers, m'boy. :^)

I have found a new appreciation for shotguns.

When I am a chemist and the other chemist makes the cryo mix first. I don't care if I was halfway done, but just knowing that I'm not the only person who's not lazy as fuck is good.

When I'm bartender and security doesn't get butthurt over me big game hunting the clown.

when im bartender and people actually ask for drinks aside from black russians and cuba libres

when the rev horde fights sec.

*ping

I have a special place in my heard for cargo that actually gives a shit about orders and after ordering them, uses the mail system to dump whatever it is into my office. I've had things missing from longer or complicated orders, but so far cargo is still hitting a better average than UPS.

Implying security actually cares when someone hurts the clown

A clown once caused me to literately laugh out loud.

A clown also once asked me to tell a joke as a "clown apprentice". Told joke, long pause, Clown says "Well, my job is safe" 10/10 for timing.

I love when a mime is beaten worse than a clown.

fuck mimes...

When I spawn as mime or clown and disposal my counterpart at roundstart

Almost any use of VOX. The day Gia helped me install it on Badger that first day, I was in a constant state of 'dying by laughter'. And even now, few things can make me laugh on the spot like hearing the AI call the crew abortions or say fuck the clown or whatever.

Seeing other people get victimized in hillarious ways. I don't have any examples, but this Monty Python sketch goes quite well as an example.
(I suck at embedding)
Shoplifter - Random greyshirt(s)
Guy behind the counter - Chemist
Officer - Shitcurity
First guy in front of the counter - Someone who was getting chemicals before the whole thing started.

When borgs/AI show personality.

When the captain is robust but RPs incompetence.

WHEN PEOPLE YELL

Seeing a crew stop fucking around with each other and killing each other for fun when a confirmed nuke ops or blob or wizard is confirmed.

Warms my heart to see psychpoaths one minute killing eachother and the othe rminute killing an antag.

Add in Engineers that do this without being ordered to by the CE. A competent Engineering team is an amazing thing.


And Engineers who drop off the Rig Suits when they're done with them instead of pretending to be Isaac Clark for the rest of the round.

When people actually eat food the chef makes instead of shovling 4nos.

On that subject, when chefs and bartenders are actually robust/know what they're doing and do it.

Related note: Botanists that actually make food instead of growing client crashing piles of spessweed

bartenders who serve unmixed drinks, chefs who cook hamburgers ever, and botanists who grow nothing but dank are the opposite of things that make me smile

Had a 1v1 sword fight yesterday, it came down to a bare knuckle match. Granted I lost it was still glorious

Also when being attacked by a sword user drop a box or bag with a space in it. Granted the user will accidently click the box and his weapon will be in the off state inside the container.
why is this allowed? The weapon is in bulkly mode this shouldnt be allowed

I think its to allow traitors to pocket eblades and such quicker

Scardeys Private Reserve is better.

What about Super Bite Burgers, or Clown Burgers so you can feed him his mask?

Crayon colored burgers are the best burgers

what if I told you I got dunked as a nukeop last night because I accidentally clicked a crate with my dual esword out when fighting the captain and two cargonians that were trying to robust me with eguns?

yeah.

glorious last stands

AI bolting the escape airlocks

Seriously, who thought all-access airlocks right across a long hallway are a good idea? Attention to detail like that makes me think the AI actually does care about law 1

Mining in the Gulag.
Granted, I've never ever mined AT ALL before that, but I used a pickaxe and started hacking away at rock. Then had the sense to carrying a mining satchel and accidentally clicked at ores with it. It picked all the ore on that tile! I thought I wouldn't see iron anymore, so I go back and get a flashlight! More ore! I start to think this is too hard when I get a basic pair of mesons, and wonder what's so good and why miners love them. I walked down my tunnel and put them on. Glory.

I'm going to ask to be sent to Gulag now. Never done it ever before that, but mining is fun and I even found diamond ore in my haul in the Gulag. Granted it's only good if you're alone so no one can steal or something, but I think I want to main something else.

dawww so adorable

When something mind-bending absurd happens. I don't mean the obvious stuff like big admin events; a lot of the time, just like Clown/Mime Security, or that one time recently we had to brig a monkey. Like, we welded the vent, and cuffed him in the cell, then uncuffed him. Proper brigging procedure down to the letter, gave him a few for assault and everything. It was an intelligent monkey, the Geneticist had become one to grief, but the very idea just made me laugh.

Drone hats.

When I don't get arrested as an all-access turbomime.

I usually go out of my way to help command and security if they don't make a point of trying to shit on me. Fun shit happens.

yeah all access mimes/assistants/w.e who help people out and be useful instead of using it to be assholes is the best thing

*ping

Ass blast USA

Those rare rounds where Research and Mining are on point and everything is upgraded.

Subsidizing Cargo as a militia by giving them gun access and implanting them.

When the chef, bartender and Botany cooperate.

Creative traitors.

E: PARKOUR

When a traitor fails to subvert an AI by onehumaning a non-asimov.
