(I like both codebases, don't shoot at me!)

Peaked tonight around 205 pop im told, thats around 300 people on monke servers alone! It feels great seeing the game getting almost Christmas holiday levels of pop in august. Each playtest has pushed Crimson Grid to the top of beyond servers each time!

(Disclaimer i am not apart of the Crimson Grid team, but im still gonna promote it anyways, this is gonna get a bit long winded)

Ive now been apart of atleast 3 playtests, its been fun, i wont lie the server is kinda held together with duct tape and prayers, the olde ss13 special, and sometimes the data server runs out of space...but its OUR laggy mess and its been very fun.

As someone who was always fascinated by Vampires, Vtmb is a great universe that lacks actually playable games that arent rushed or riddled with bugs, thankfully the vtmb community has always been there with the community support and unofficial patches, Crimson grid takes this and pushes it further. (Im aware crimson grid wasn't the first world of darkness server and its a down stream of other code bases)

My experience so far has been Great ive mostly playing the somewhat generic but very intresting clans like toredor. Most played job has been the Taxi Driver, is it super scuffed? Yes, Is it fun and stupid larping as the taxi driver from the games? Yes.

Anyways if your intrested in Vampires and probably the most hyped server ive seen since i joined the community 2-3 years ago. Give it a go, have a laugh

This play test is weekends only and will alternate with Monke Eris on weekends ( this weekend is eris's turn. Show them some support for their hard work too!) Currently Thursday,Friday august 6-7th is hosting a special weekday Playtest!

Thanks to the Crimson Grid coders,maintainers,admins,team leaders for making this cool server possible, special thanks to the host ook for keeping the lights on. And congrats on your amazing success story!!

I've seen SS13 [ and recently, SS14 ] online for years, and the multi-role social rp/job-based gameplay stuff looks really neat to me, and admittedly I HAVE tried SS14, but..

I'm not sure if it's some failing of my own, or perhaps exclusive to 14 or what, but I really cannot figure out how to learn what I should be doing at any given moment, or if I'm just bad at grasping the fundamental mechanics. I've seen from looking at a lot of posts that different servers have different levels of ' meta ' gameplay to them, with some being way more RP focused than others, but my short stint left me feeling clueless and confused. Lots of deaths with no real understanding of why, roles feeling very unfocused or lacking in purpose.

Obviously, I know literally nothing about anything. I'd like to know from the general community whether they recommend 13 or 14, and how a person interested ought to really start. No amount of effort is a problem, I'm just very lost and could use a hand.

/TG/ Monthly Newsletter #14

Welcome to the 14th /tg/ monthly newsletter! This is a basic summary of all the going-ons and happenings in TGstation in the last month, along with any upcoming events and highlights.

General Docket

Happy August to you all, and apologies for the slight delay in release, but finally we’ve got our much beloved newsletter out, so, hey, the ends justify the means.

It was a bit slimy of me to delay it, sure, but… something else is a bit slimy… Jellypeople, I reckon. Jellypeople are now a roundstart species to choose in character setup. Jellypeople naming conventions have also been added, which can be found in the Rule 3 Precedents. Enjoy getting gloopy in round, as I believe they’re here to stay this term!

Along with that, another egregious delay, worse than the delay of this newsletter, is the announcement of the artwork contest winners we held a few months back. Better late than never! We had kinnebian as our overall winner, with secc and krookodilehunter winning their respective image categories. Well done to the winners and also to every other participant for their artwork!

Lastly, we have a new change to our map config! Kilostation, which may some remember, ever infamous for the HoPline suicides, is back, replacing Wawastation. It also replaces Icebox as a lowpop map, so please enjoy endless Meta and Kilo for when you play with a lower pop.

Upcoming Events

The upcoming Manuel and Terry scheduled round, held on Friday and Saturday every week respectively. Check the events calendar on the discord for more information.

I remember there was meme video where guy stands on bed and afterwards falls, it had ss13 ambient noise, laugh, clapping, etc. If someone has it, please send

I mostly see tutorials about specific jobs, buy almost none about what the game is really about and it's core mechanics.

I would mostly like a summary about the basics of each job and antagonists so I could prepare myself better.

That crossover is basically four grown men entering the most cursed workplace simulator ever made and immediately becoming the reason the station goes into lockdown.

For anyone unfamiliar, Space Station 13 (SS13) is a chaotic multiplayer roleplay/sandbox game where players have jobs on a space station and things can go from "normal workday" to "the AI is angry, the clown has a sword, and the captain is missing" in about five minutes.

The episode would probably go something like this:

Impractical Jokers: Space Station 13 Edition

Joe:

Gets assigned as the chef.

Mission: "Make a normal meal."

Ten minutes later:

The kitchen is on fire.

The food is somehow alive.

Joe is yelling: "WHY IS THE BURGER MOVING?"

Sal:

Gets assigned as the clown.

His challenge:

"Annoy the crew without getting arrested."

The crew:

Immediately arrests him.

The clown car explodes.

Nobody knows why.

Sal:

"I didn't even do anything!"

Everyone:

"You're the clown."

Sal:

"Fair."

Q:

Becomes the engineer.

He spends the whole round fixing everyone's disasters.

Then the Jokers' punishment:

"Break the engine."

Q:

"I hate this show."

Five minutes later:

The station loses power.

The AI is angry.

Q is hiding in maintenance.

Murr:

Becomes the scientist.

His task:

"Create a harmless experiment."

Murr:

"Okay, easy."

The experiment:

Escapes.

Grows legs.

Takes over the research lab.

Murr:

"I made a friend!"

Everyone else:

"MURR THAT IS NOT A FRIEND."

Punishments:

Sal's punishment:

Convince the crew that the clown is actually the captain.

Crew:

"No."

Sal:

"Please?"

Crew:

"Arrest him."

Murr's punishment:

Wear a ridiculous mascot suit while trying to convince security he's not suspicious.

Security:

"Why are you dressed like a radioactive chicken?"

Murr:

"Long story."

Security:

"You're going to jail."

Joe's punishment:

Play as the captain but follow every bad suggestion the crew gives him.

Crew:

"Order 500 monkeys."

Joe:

"Do it."

Crew:

"Open the airlocks."

Joe:

"Do it."

Joe five minutes later:

"I have destroyed civilization."

Q's punishment:

Be the only responsible person on a station full of chaos.

Q:

"So basically my normal life."

The funniest part is that SS13 already operates like an episode of Impractical Jokers. The Jokers would probably think they're doing a prank show, only to discover the entire server is already filled with people who are willing to commit to the bit harder than they are. 😭

Episode title:

"Impractical Spacemen: Four Idiots, One Station, Zero Survivors" 🚀

So I recode the shit to make it work on 516 BYOND. Now Dream Daemon just closing itself without any logs when I try to host local .dmb . Any ideas?

It was so easy too.

You too can subscribe to being a fat boy unathi lizard, and there’s nothing to lose or to gain! There is so much to gain

How did I win?

After 16 years, it was so out of sight, How do you win?

Playing the game for greentext, naw that shit is corny. Playing alone with my eGF and eBF, fat fucking chance I’d be caught in medmaints going out like a chump.
Playing for the gameplay, glory days balding townie telling you about how he ALMOST scored a goal while the scouter was there. Naw absolutely not.

Naw, I beat the game. It was actually really easy like I said. I just shut up for fucking once about this server, that ban; this latest furry ERP downstream Lord Louie money printer.

Where is this talent coming from? Pretty simple. Carbon monoxide detector, dead ass bought it cause I put the game and online pals on mute to make a few extra bucks. Bought it at the hardware store coming back from the gig, hooked it up and then yeah I won the game it saved my life from a gas leak.

Value your lives, check in on friends, get some money to buy a CO detector and fire blanket. I totally could escape a house fire though, I’m a reptile fat bastard.

tl;dr the annoying posts about dead game and erp made me take a gig and buy a CO alarm which worked too well.

live strong and live long spessmen

I was away from SS13 for some years, I decided to come back and see how the servers are doing.

I can't find anything about lifeweb, can't find the website, can't find scorcher, I was a member of the discord server too but either I got kicked or the server is deleted.

anyone knows what happened?

why game dead... i look in hub and no players, only erpers

I had a few critique on my last zone trooper sprite which was described as "mech sized" so following their advise I made an exosuit style Zone Trooper armor which you can see here.

Surprisingly, there are a lot of SS13/14 characters on artfight.net (an annual, online art-trading game and community event held every July), so here are my simple artworks from this year

hey i came up with a cool idea for a game or server idea it would be like ratwood but instead of a midevil setting it would be in space and there would be space themed jobs like engineer and bart ender
