Space Station 13

| So I started playing this game a few days ago because it sounded unique. It's a multiplayer game where everyone has a job. After playing assistant and doing nothing the first few games, I finally got the hang of being a Janitor.

I was quickly called to clean up a murder scene with blood and viscera everywhere. While I was mopping the floors I preferred to keep my flashlight on. I didn't think it was strange at the time, but someone loudly complained about my light so I put it off.


| Later, I got a spontaneous fever and rushed to medical. I was rescued by the same guy as before, a physician there. Bodies were piling up, so I found myself scrambling to assist with patients (again, I'm a janitor) while the evacuation pod was on its way. On my way out, the doctor who revived me before grappled me and bit my neck.

He was a fucking vampire the whole time. I barely made it to the escape naked and literally exploded as the round ended. You guys ever play this game?

| One of these days I'll stop being lazy and learn how to play this.

I'd like to get into it but learning how to do stuff and interpret the UI is an investment


| I used to play it a lot. I mainly played as a xenobiologist when I could since it was the only job that was complicated but easy to get the hang of. Though I've been murdered by slimes one too many times and sometimes their so cunning you'd think they were sentient.


| I used to vent my autism in engineering department especially atmos back in the day at /vg/station but the admin drama and flood of immigrants from other servers ruined the comfy vibes and I stopped playing and haven't touched it since then


| This game sounds like a complicated disaster if you don't already have a group of experienced friends to play with.

playing and talking with friends outside of the game and character is meatgaming and it's instant ban in almost all servers
if you do play with friends you won't have any sort of advantage beside risking getting banned because you will eventually metagame and screw yourself over


| >>311120
They'd know enough to help get you started, not outright metagame if they're experienced. A first run in a group of overwhelmed and confused players unable to do anything is bad, and so is falling into an experienced group of strangers who all want you gone because you're holding them back.

honestly ss13 despite seeming overwhelming and hostile has a gentle and new player friendly players depending on what server you play on
just go to /vg/station and before a round starts tell the players that you are new and want to learn the game in cargo and 9 out of 10 times someone picks cargo master to help you and spend the entire round teaching you how to survive and how to play the game
there is no shame in asking for a mentor on OOC and thats how I learned the game

>First time playing in /tg/station
>Someone pulls me and takes me to a bloody place
>I get shot to death
Great experience


| I remember the first time I played someone talked to me, and I didn't know how to chat so I ran away like an autist. I had fun with it though, should pick it up again.

>have one bad experience on /tg/
You’re playing SS13, dying is Part of the FunTM
But really, give it a chance and the real reward is some day turning the tables on them and goving security their dead body.
