    Syndicate Rivals

    in Suggestions

    Posted · Edited by Bxil
    Added Escape Shuttle.

    Name: Rivals

    Access: Syndicate

    Additional Access: Syndicate Command for the commander

    Supervisors: The Syndicate

    Duties: Kidnap crew. Max RND. Sabotage Nanotrasen.

    Congratulations, you have been selected by one of the many Syndicate corporations to join the crew of a new station directly orbiting the NSS Cyberiad! Ensure that you complete your tasks at all costs. Stealth is not mandatory, but recommended while possible.

    Your objectives

    In general you will have the following tasks:

    ·         Ensure that at least 5 Nanotrasen personnel (command worth 2) is jailed on the Syndicate Station. They must survive. Experimenting permitted.

    ·         Reach maximum research levels. You don’t have everything on-site for this. It is mandatory that you steal machinery from the Cyberiad to scan.

    ·         At least 3 of you must survive (syndicate commander worth two).

    The Syndicate Station

    Command Office: There is a long-range fax machine and an uplink of 30TC inside. Only the commander has access to this room.

    Atmospherics: There is a hardsuit, and all tools, including insulated gloves.

    Chemistry: Basic chemistry equipment included.

    Medbay: Cryotubes and necessary tools for surgery are provided. The operating theatre is easily accessible from RND.

    Interrogation: Including a lot of non-lethal but painful weaponry to deal with whatever you have to. Also has several straightjackets and muzzles. The jail opens from here, and targets put in here also count for the objective.

    Kitchen: Even corrupt corporate agents must eat too.

    Radio Station: Equipped with several intercoms with access to all Nanotrasen channels. The Syndicate t-comms array is also put here. Note that the “syndicate encryption key” which can be bought from the uplink works on a completely different channel. The frequency for your headsets will be randomized each round.

    Research and Development: Equipped with all machinery required for RND and robotics including an autolathe. It should be a priority to finish tech levels for your objective – and also for better tools. While certain things still come out as lockboxes, remember your commander’s uplink and all the emags he can order.

    Construction: An empty area made for personal projects. Use it well.

    Solars: Where all your power comes from.

    Turret array: There is a turret array around the Syndicate Station to prevent intruders. They should not shoot at you while you have your ID.

    Podbay: You start with a military armored spacepod with laser weaponry.

    Attack Shuttle: You start with a shuttle designed for breaking though the Cyberiad’s hull. It can dock at numerous areas. Ensure this does not get captured by the enemy.

    Escape Shuttle: The console only activates when all objectives are done. It makes a worldwide announcement saying that the syndicate shuttle has been activated. If the shuttle docks at syndicate command with at least 3 of you alive, the prisoners are in the shuttle brig, and having the RND server on max (which is on the shuttle) then you win.

    You can make numerous improvements thanks to your RND lab. Making your own AI. Teleporters. An autocloner. The possibilities are endless.

    But I am Nanotrasen!

    Worry not! Obviously first you must identify that the round type is rivals. For this you must have one of the following to be completely sure:

    • A screaming mechanic.
    • A screaming pod pilot.
    • Mysterious people dragging your colleagues (or you, whoops) into dark shuttles.
    • Morons who run around with ID cards saying “Syndicate.”
    • Or ultimately the announcement which comes.

    You have multiple ways to deal with the threat. Building a BSA tends to help. Making the mechanic build security a fleet and storming the area is an option also. Still, beware of the turrets!

    Traitorino:
    Play as a Vox with mechanical eyes. 
    Have an IPC Librarian target.
    Decide to use EMP to steal his head and make him into a borg (or a talking brain pet - hadn't decided).
    Forget that EMP damages cortical stack and mechanical eyes.
    Blind self when killing the target, just about manage to run into library maintenance.
    Walk out a couple minutes later to several officers and a witness talking about the crime 'that doctor Vox' just committed. 
    Arrested.
    Spend 40 minutes in the brig, sitting quietly and occasionally fixing people up with meds.
     

    (I did get away with it though - they perma'd me without taking ANY of my gear, so I just used my toolbelt to break out). 

    Uh... Checkmate?

    Recruit: "HoS, you have no idea what you're doing. Comdom."

    HoS: "That's Emotional Distress! To prison with you!" *draws his stunbaton*

    Recruit: "Hell no!" *disarms the baton-wielding HoS*

    HoS: "Assault on an Officer! To the permabrig with you!" *draws his gun*

    Recruit: "Hell no! What is this shitcurity? This is facism!" *tries to flee*

    HoS: "That's being offensive to security! I call for his execution! Guards, take him away!"

    * Recruit is jumped on by three officers, then dragged off, kicking and screaming.

    * IAA hears the commotion in the brig, and walks in to see what is going on.

    IAA: "Uh, what's all this commotion?"

    Officer: "I think we just executed someone... ultimately because they called the HoS a comdom. Good riddance I say!"

    IAA: "..."

    HoS: "You there. What are you writing? You better not be disparaging Security! Guards, arrest that IAA troublemaker on suspicion of insulting Security!"

    * IAA flees, never to return. A glorious happy ending was had by all, and by "all", we mean "Security". Up until the admins banned them all for managing to recreate  Facist Germany in space. And the antags decided to all go after their objectives on the escape shuttle.

    This story is so beautiful, I teared up... Especially when he said: "That's being offensive to security!" Beautiful! Bravo, bravo!

    Bxil's NTSL Scripts

    TAnn system. This will send a nice big, black announcement over the channel you use it. To use say the following: "tann YOUR MESSAGE HERE"
    Don't forget to change YOUR NAME HERE to your name.

    Spoiler

      

    
//Bxil's telecomms announcement system (Ryan Xovr)
loc = find($content, "tann");
if(loc == 1 && $source == "YOUR NAME HERE"){
$pass = false;
$content = "<font size=4 color=black>"
+ substr($content, 6, length($content)+1)
+ "</font><font color=black> - " + $source + "</font>";
broadcast($content, $freq, "Telecomms Announcement");
}

     

    Cookie System. You can use it to add cookies to people. To use say the following: "cookie,Name" Name should be of course the person you want to give the cookie.

    Spoiler

      

    
//Bxil's cookie system (Ryan Xovr)
$exploded = explode($content, ",");
loc = find($content, "cookie,");
if(loc == 1){
$pass = false;
$name = at($exploded, 2);
$name = replace($name, " ", "");
$score = mem($name);
$total = 1 + $score;
mem($name, $total);
$content = $name + " now has " + tostring($total) + " cookies! (Plus 1 from " + $source + "!)";
broadcast($content, $freq, "Cookie System");
}

     

    Salt Counter. It will announce salt levels every minute. It does nothing practical. I mostly made this to experiment with the timing.

    Spoiler

      

    
//Bxil's salt (Ryan Xovr)
timer = time();
current = mem("time");
if(timer > current + 100 && $freq == 1459){
salt = mem("salt") + 1;
mem("salt", salt);
to_salt = tostring(salt);
if(salt > 49){
broadcast("Warning! Salt level at dangerously high " + to_salt + "%!", 1459, "Salt Counter", "Debug");
}
if(salt == 100){
broadcast("ALERT! Salt level reached critical conditions! Resetting salt levels to prevent server breakdown!", 1459, "Salt Counter", "Debug");
mem("salt", 0);
}
if(salt < 50){
broadcast("Salt level at " + to_salt + "%!", 1459, "Salt Counter", "Debug");
}
}
mem("time", timer);

    IMHO, a VR training sim where you play as nuclear ops against a TINY npc-inhabited station, or simply a syndicate equipment tutorial VR, would be better.

    This is a very good idea. You could put it in dorms (maybe something like a cryochamber) and have it built on the CentCom Z-level. Or it could be a randomized new Z-level for each round just like gateway.

    So the HOS is the queen even if not female?

    Yes, they often take it as a good joke. Once we had a male HOS who kept saying the whole round how fabolous he is.

    In my experience so far the rank King is a big ego-boost to the captain. Except when they are female... Figures.

    Validhunting Rule

    in Public Archives

    Posted · Edited by Bxil

    This game SHOULDN'T BE WINNABLE in the first place.

    It has been stated a million times already that the point is never (and will never be) victory. We should REALLY remove greentext. Or objectives. Antags shouldn't be treated like a privilige. The original purpose of an antag is to make the round FUN for others. People should be punished for even thinking about validhunting (1984 intensifies). Maybe antagonists would go easier on people if they did not acted out all the time as "MUH VULIDS."

    One time I revealed to the HOS that I am a vampire in the first 10 minutes. One of the best rounds of my life. And then some asshole blueshield came: "HE IS A VAMPIRE TO THE CHAPEL WITH HIM BLAH BLAH BLAH..." Should he've been the HOS, I assume he would've shot me right after I confessed.

    My AI is CHESSMASTER.

    I have a telecomms script which adds ranks to people as chess pieces.

    • Captain: King
    • HOS: Queen
    • Command: Rook
    • Security and law: Knight
    • Chaplain: Bishop
    • Other: pawn

    My announcements are often chess themed too.

    Spoiler

    AI announcement: "Knight to clown office. Enemy pawn down." (A traitor got caught.)

    Random person: "You must be playing a very strange chess variant there, AI."

    Antag Reward

    It comes up here every month now that we need an alternative, such as removing greentext or removing objectives alltogether. While the admins do not punish those who finish their objectives with doing nothing fun, they prefer (I think actually we ALL prefer) if you do something interesting. Please mind that getting caught or intentionally doing it weirdly (like asking for t-comms tour from the RD to steal the voidsuit from there) can be extremely fun and often results in karma mountains.

    There'd be no point to this forum if people couldn't make suggestions that were found to be bad in the end.

    Exactly.

    It takes some time to understand how everything works, but feel free to make new suggestions even if they get rejeted. Worst case scenario, you learn something new.

    In this suggestion not really the karma is the problem, more like the mentality that it comes with greentexting.
