yeah I was on the server when that happened but I just wanna say that the "viewing range" is actually a gun called the Particle Accelerator or whatever. I only know because I had one 3 rounds before that, it was in sec for some reason, and the guy who gave it to me said it randomly showed up on the floor.

Start as a miner, in clock cult. Only one other person roll calls, and they had abandoned a gang leader spot on the other server. I had gotten ghosted into them then died like a chump. Thanks Scuff.

Manage to convert the mining borg a right after the ash storm dies down. Tell it to go convert the AI. Don't want to convert the other miners because then the people on station won't be able to use geass.

First ash storm hits; I take all the minerals to R&D. Hoping to gain the cult a foothold in science. We are at 4/6 still. Scuff has stolen the spare ID and the radio is yelling about him. Get mining bag and a pair of advanced mining tools, for "dual wielding". Don't manage to convert or blow the cults cover. Convert the QM who has never played cult before, so I direct them to the wiki.

Find an ash ligger nest. Hell yes if we can EVER get that borg to go get the AI we even have combat upgrades. OH Geass will still work to convert. Convert an ash ligger. A second one comes up and kills me. The new cultist makes no attempts to help me.

It could have been the ash lizard cult! We had a free converted AI (but didn't). When people say "conversion modes suck" do they just mean "fuck teamwork?"

I didn't actually want it for myself. I wanted a second to give to someone else once I converted them so they had a ranged weapon.

But seriously, I've never managed to convert ashwalkers before and the idea of cultists invading from the planet seemed amazing. I guess that's actually kinda close to what the rework is planning.

I'm still seeing fucking red after this fiasco.

Roll CE as planned. Looking to build a sweet housing unit for the BSA. I figure if I focus entirely on building, I'll have time to finish it before TGs notoriously short rounds cut it down.
Attempt to delegate solar array wiring to my one lone engineer. Easy.
"I uh, don't know how to wire the solars."
The easiest form of power generation, whatever. I roll my eyes and tell him not to worry about it. I'll do it. I finish packing up the extra metal and supplies for the BSA orbital platform and start wiring the solar arrays. I get halfway done.
"Engineering to cargo. A goliath ripped apart the mining dock."
My derpy engineer is on the other side of the station, and I'm already in space. I backtrack to cargo and patch up the hole, repressurize QMs office. And make it look decent.
Go back to wiring solars.
"Engineering to brig"
I wait a moment, and ask, "What happened."
"We've got a breach"
Rolling my eyes, I put off starting my project yet again and head off to brig from space. The locker room windows were all smashed out, and the HoS is surverying the damage. I wave to him and start welding the glass shards and rounding up the metal rods. I begin pushing all the lockers back inside and wrenching them in place.
Finally. Everything is neat and tidy. I begin to to start the actual repairs when suddenly...
Blood stained EVA-suit roboticist approaches from starboard. Wielding a stun baton no less. I draw my tele baton and prepare to defend myself but he's already on top of me. harm-stun, harm-stun, prods. Holy shit the baton was out of charge?! I madly start clicking on the fallen telebaton, I may well have a chance here. No such luck. I fall into crit before I can recover the baton and killed. Then... the frustration truly begins.
"I got the brig looter"
He's actively calling for security over the radio, and begins going through my things. The suspicious fucker wasn't the cause of the breach, just a goddamn validhunter that got their hands on a baton and space suit. I'm just praying that one of the officers that originally called me to repair the breach comes by and sets him straight. I watch helplessly as he happens to choose a zig-zag path out of the brig that perfectly misses the only other officer in the area as they were coming in.
He's now wearing my completely blood soaked hardsuit, dragging my body behind him labeled Chief Engineer. No one stops to question this. I'm taken all the way to medbay and into cloning. An officer is there. Looks at me, looks at the bloodied CE hardsuit. Back to me. "Huh. That's weird" and goes about his business.
I'm eventually cloned and stuffed into cryo. At this point, the roboticist realizes his immense fuckup and leaves the hardsuit behind. My clothes are left in a pile, sans my tie, and satchel. Which are still in the brig where I was looted.
I'm still mad at the roboticist for being reckless validhunter, and ask for an apology over PDAs. surprisingly, I get it, and feel better over the whole ordeal.
Grumbling, I get dressed and prepare to head back to the brig to finish my wor-
You are having a seizure!
AAAAAAA!
I painfully limp to genetics for a mutadone pill, in between moments of infuriating blindness and stuns.
Get the mutadone. Find a mirror, fix my hair. Alright. Off the brig. Then to last solar array. THEN to my BSA project.
I have to ask the AI to let me into the locker room, but that goes without too much
"CE to chapel"
ಠ_ಠ
"Hadrian come to the chapel please"
Fine. Whatever. I dart out into space and circle around to escape wing and enter the chapel. The curator and his buddy have combined the two areas into a big fort. complete with multiple wooden barricades, fresh walls, and most impressively, force shield barriers that they likely borrowed from xenobio. They need my help wiring, and unlocking them.
That's fine, I can put up with this one last task. I finished the wiring. And it'll help make someone else's round a little cooler. I unlock the generators. Now back to-- The generators are turned on.
instantly gibbed.

Seriously this round was garbage.


Also I've been enjoying setting up sheild generator death traps lately. The first try with just slipping was good. The second try with thermals and a hallway maze was better, if less funny since I didn't have a borgs MMI shouting not to walk down the hallway while I'm getting more and more people. The most important lesson is that you kill nothing of value because apparently the only ones wandering around are greyshirts, security, and heads.

Pro tip for ling: Buy only healing and getaway abilities (NOTHING combat related), DNA sting a shitload of people at the beginning, strip completely nude except for your backpack and maybe shoes and radio (keep vital gear like ID in your backpack), transform into somebody you DNA stung and you'll get flesh disguises making you look exactly like them. Then get into as much trouble as you want and use your getaway abilities if you get busted/into trouble, and transform into somebody else when you're out of sight (the flesh disguises will transform too). Ling is actually god tier at impersonating people with flesh disguises, people just tend not to use them because they require removing most of your regular gear.

It's universally agreed that beachers/vets meta making a path on station or other ruins or megafauna to kill them and get the stuff themselves are thrash. Re write what I said or what you did in whatever way you want, it's still a shit thing to do.
I see what's happening here - you're mistaking me for someone else, hence the use of "probably" attached to shitty behaviour. Based on your own assumptions, too, which means that this sort of behaviour you've thought of must be close to home.

APLU mechs have drills (or plasmacutters). Drills (or plasmacutters) are good for getting around Lavaland. A pickaxe is, in comparison, not.

So when someone who's observed the round sees a cool thing that they want to play with and isn't going to harm (or even be known of) by anyone, then they've definitely got to ignore it, it seems. Shitty metagaming would be someone using ghostroles after dying to beeline for the station and sabotage/kill their previous character's killer, but in the eyes of some people, this is exactly the same as running around an isolated part of the map.

I take "universally agreed" things with more than a pinch of salt, since it's also "universally agreed" that murderboning using noslips-water/lube, double energy swords, Syndicate revolver etc. is fresh and exciting enough to perpetuate in rounds pretty much every day, and that roleplay is booooooring go back to Baaaaaaaay.

Having typed this, I realised that I won't change your mind, and you won't change mine, so I'll leave you to it.

When it rains, it pours.
At least my target died. Somehow.
