Classic traitoring tactics that need to be used more

[deedubya]

Bottom post of the previous page:

ask the owner of the steal objective politely if you can have it

You'd be surprised how often this works. Hell, it worked in a wiz round I played a couple months ago.

[Screemonster]

Act mildly suspicious so you get searched repeatedly in the first few minutes of the round, doing shit like printing off a book titled "cryptographic sequencer" and putting it in your bag in view of a sec officer then running away, then spawn your gear once they start telling you to fuck off instead of searching you

so it's not a tator tell, do it on regular rounds too

That's actually amazing. So when people yell you do have an emag Sec doesn't buy it for a bit.

[PKPenguin321]

Better yet, hollow out the book and put your actual emag in there for dramatic irony.

[deedubya]

I'm pretty sure half the playerbase subscribes to the "act like a shitter every round so it's not an antag tell" mindset.

The ol' Pax tactic.

Add in aggressively ahelping whenever sec players start to metagrudge you, so that they are afraid to arrest you when you're actually antag.

[delaron]

Get into escalation fight with target
Act like you are helping your target to cyrotube to heal
Add in some easy OD chem to beaker a little goes a long way.
Epinephrine is a slick one if the medical staff are not on their A game, Super easy to OD in the tube on and few would bat an eye at its use.
Watch them die in tube.

[Calomel]

Snip

A very useful tactic, chemists rarely make Calomel because it's so situational and it requires Furnace work to get it,
so you get quite a bit of of leeway for your murderous ways.

[bandit]

do this if you want to get banned

[RiskySikh]

Make 6-8 meth bombs, put voice analyses in them bait yourself getting arrested, or go to a group of people and scream the magic words, and make a huge hole out of the station. Or you can bait people into interviewing with them, make them sit, get an e-sword and hack them to death, then space their remains.

this is a very good strategy if you're a contractor and you gotta abduct someone like the lawyer
"hey can i sue the captain"
"sure"
angry contractor batoning mid conversation

on that note nobody abuses the true combo of "connect disposals straight to the grinder and then emag it" to "ebow people and then stuff them down disposals"

[Screemonster]

redirecting disposals into the supermatter is more fun
or a fusion chamber

I think my favourite one was back when the singulo was still the main engine, not for redirecting them into the singulo itself, but just for dumping them into a containment field and watching them get pinballed around

[CPTANT]

Be clown and buy a storage implant and poison kit.

Hide poisoned beer in your implant but also carry regular beer in your backpack.

Go around feeding people poisoned beer. When caught deny everything and laugh as they try to feed you the beer from your backpack.

[RobustAndRun]

My favorite old strategy was ultra simple: acquire a .357 and c4, plus a spare jumpsuit, hat, and shoes, and gasmask.

Change into murder outfit, remove ID, hide in closet near target's workspace. When the target comes along, just empty the gun into them, plant c4, and run.
Change back into your uniform in maint, throw your bag containing revolver + murder outfit into space. Even the shittest sec powergamers would have issues pinning this one on you, if done properly.

[CPTANT]

Be a ling, disguise yourself as someone, go around armblading some people and gtfo into a vent.

Laugh as they lynch and cremate the person you impersonated.

[srifenbyxp]

The ol walk in front and slip, which goes into pew pew or hack and slash. Super effective if you got a bear trap. Always carry a bucket of water with you with some no slips.

[Screemonster]

empty an oxygen canister and fill it with hot plasma instead

swap it for one of the publicly accessible oxygen cans and just wait for someone to refill their emergency tank with it

[cacogen]

throw a soap at their feet and then shoot them

[terbs]

Emag every single door just to be a fucking dickhead

[Kel-the-Oblivious]

Corpse conga line into the mining shuttle, and a relocated mining shuttle terminal. Lead a mega close, wait until they spot the corpses, run out of aggro, let them "Ooh, a piece of candy" into the mining shuttle, send to station.

[Arathian]

Golems are never taken because people (rightfully usually) assume they are a boring role and aren't even independent. But people will ALWAYS join when they know they will get free antag.

So, how do you utilize that?

Start as sci doing xenobiology. In the offtime, build an arsenal in the maint (loads of spears will do the trick really).

Make 10-15 or more, the sky's the limit!, golem shells but don't complete them.

The hard step: kill a few people. It doesn't have to be a full on murderbone. But it has to be enough to create salt with ghosts. That will get you the ghost circle. 3-5 people should be enough.

Now complete all golems. Ghosts will be following you and they will see that you created the golems. They will instantly join because they know gamer time is about to happen.

Enjoy your free golem army!

But Arathian, what about the spiders?

Only people with TC can have spiders. This can be done by anyone, like blood brothers or even lings!

this strange mix of exploiting psychology and taking advantage of the way the game works is both fascinating and extremely frustrating to me

can't deny it's correct though

[Super Aggro Crag]

one time i killed a geneticist by asking him to teach me how to genetics then locking him in the tube and irradiating him to death then i turned him into a monkey and swallowed him whole

man how many people are playing on citadel these days

[teepeepee]

monkey vore was a thing on /tg/ until a few months back dude

[Super Aggro Crag]

monkey vore was a thing on /tg/ until a few months back dude

aw they removed it? bummer secret monkey technique was awesome

[Shadowflame909]

Xeno vore also got removed.

Xenos only drag now until someone gives them the kangaroo pouch orange man asked for a long long time ago

[cacogen]

oh ok

[PKPenguin321]

shame too because eating a whole monkey in front of a crowd always got a hell of a reaction

[teepeepee]

the monkeys were still alive in your belly and gasped for a while until they died too, shit was hilarious

[cacogen]

>it's vorecode

[Screemonster]

lmao at the people being "it's vorecode" when it was around long before vorestation existed

[deedubya]

vorecode existed well before vorestation did(read again: cit), in fact I'm pretty sure that's why vorestation was made, would have to ask a furry degen for confirmation though

[Super Aggro Crag]

Coders: ugh im removing this it's VORECODE FETISH CONTENT

Coders: *add in mothoids, catoids, and thirdgenderoids*

[Jack7D1]

Wait there are moth fetish? Here I was thinking it was just a challenge race.

[Super Aggro Crag]

moths are furry

[Screemonster]

I mean sure remove it if it's janky ancient code that's impossible to maintain that's a good reason to remove it or if you still need xenos to be able to abduct people without dragging then replace it with an updated version that isn't based off code that hasn't been touched for like eight years

[Anonmare]

Xenos need a fireman carry

[Screemonster]

Xenos need a fireman carry

great now I'm picturing them just hoisting a guy arm-straight above their heads and dashing off like a cartoon thief

[Super Aggro Crag]

listen xenos have tails

have 'em pick people up with the tail that way they can still claw dudes while carrying a dude

[Jack7D1]

Imagine fighting a Beno while you see your buddy skewered on their tail.

[CPTANT]

The engineering door remote can be used to brutally murder people working on the turbine by bolting the exit closed and opening the turbine airlock.
