/tg/Station 13

You are evil infused primitive savages, would it kill ya to act like it?

Yeah, friendly ash walkers are cringe.

One of my favourite moments as a ghost role was when me and a fellow ash walker encountered some human (a lost vet I think), and she stood unsure of how to react. We said a few lines in ash lizard about how we were gonna kill her, did an "evil grin" emote, and poked her to death with spears. I felt like a real savage villain and I'm surprised people don't enjoy being a part of what makes lavaland scary.

Being tribalistic murderers is what makes ashwalkers so much fun. There is no experience quite like hijacking the mining shuttle and getting frozen to death as you bring the crew's bodies back to lavaland because someone opened the door. Also being friendly to lizardmen miners is a god given right and I will stand by this (I kill the human miners and then the lizard miner gets mad so we kill him too).

This is actually the lame way to play ashies. If it were up to me you'd have to kill a miner and steal their ID to access the mining shuttle (unless this is already the case and I'm just dumb)

Miners deserve death, I will not dare step on station before every miner has been fed to my pillar.

I wish every ash walker who goes to the station a very

Miner assassinating your base tendril while you're gone

Defend your home damn it.

Considering we now have the code to punish free golems for going on station it probably wouldnt be hard to punish ashies for going on station when there is still people on lavaland. A nice "You sense that the tendril is still in danger, and its power is fading from you..." as you switch Z levels and some slowdown or something to ensure you will go deal with the problem.

I played ashie on a round where we killed the miners, and the captain led security on an exterminatus against our kind. Since my ashie happened to revive right before the tendril collapsed, and lost all will to fight, they just took me back to the station and had a lizard engineer tell me to get to working.
A space age research station kidnapping literal stone age savages for manpower is a hilarious concept.

lavaland defending ashies are based.
station invading ashies are cringe and should just be deleted off of the shuttle when it arrives.

I think it would be cool if ashwalkers could somehow affect the station without leaving lavaland.

Like, if they were able to siege the mining base and somehow prevent the ORM from functioning until they're driven away.

Friendly antags are cringe in general.

I kill antags only if they've become violent, or if they're friendly. Antags turning shit to extended past 20pop is lame. Friendly antags are wasting everyone's time. 60 fucking people in the lobby rolled for what you're pissing away and using for bar rp.

Having made the Lavaland Elites, I hold extreme contempt for players who take roles of murderous alien lifeforms from a hell planet and try to be friendly anyways. Unlike some other people, I don't mind seeing Ashies on the station and think its fun, but only if the mining team has already been dealt with. I think the planet retaliating against the station is thematically neat, and if you really hate ashwalkers all that much all you need to do is sprinkle some glass shards on the ground and let nature take its course.

Sometimes people want to try something different or does anyone playing not how you want them to a problem?

yes if you are an antagonist, antagonize. there are places for you, for people like you, there is room and space, most of the game is designed for you, and there are settings you can turn on to explicitly ensure you do NOT end up in those places/roles you don't want to be

if you want to be friendly don't literally sign up for THE baddest guys and turn this whole game into a powerful barbiturate

Ash walkers on station are hilarious because you can just combat mode break glass on the floor and they can't do anything

They can get a broom

the ash lizard support division, armed with brooms

Ash ligger with a repulse armor would be hilarious

ashie pro-tip is to capture miners using sinue restraints and keep them hostage as they cry out on radio for someone to come save them (more people to feed to pillar).

I dont hate friendly ash lizards because people are more likely to hesitate on the trigger and get speared by angry tribal lizards if they think they might be about to be welcomed as a king

>unintentionally encounter friendly miner
>keep the peace to avoid being slaughtered by a larger group with better technology
You may not like it but this is what civilisation looks like

Ash walkers should get a research table they can use to unlock better technology (like a primitive R&D console) to craft and one of the nodes should be digitigrade shoes (no this isn’t a serious suggestion)

Hmm yes why are they being cordial with the miners

Toss your spears, use a bone axe, attack in numbers, or dodge

Skill issue.
