ok let's do this

Now let me tell you the story of my last round, 10 hours ago. Where shuttle was called 26 minutes in for no apparent reason, and it ended on a murderboner by some north star+carp+whatever nerd. And I was just a chef cooking. The absolute state of tgstation. Back in my day...

Unfortunately I cannot find the old forums anymore, so you can't really reference it for a players veterancy.

My byond account was created around 2011, if anyone cares to know.

Being serious. I believe a 'veteran' would simply be someone who's played the game long enough to be familiar with the games systems and major departments.

Even then though, I'd argue a true 'veteran' would be someone who is familiar enough with SS13 that they can quickly adapt and adopt new techniques and concepts that have been developed and added into the game.

Was that even that long ago? I feels like it wasn't...
That's probably bad.

I think you're a veteran when you try to leave and come back, for the second/third/etc time.

Or if you remember the SoS days...

I've been playing on and off for a long time but I don't think I had ever gotten robust haha

Edit: also just another thing to add onto the gatekeeping pile...

If you were present when "The Bible Melts" was a thing and if you'd ever frequented when there was an lizard janitor back when humans were the only race.

OOR back when everyone was playing Uterus and the singularity engine required a short spacewalk and it looked like ass
