Complete description part 4:

Patient 0

The virus doesn't arrive on pun pun at all, all of us were fooled by pun pun's zombie like behaviour. It was actually taken here by a crewmember. This crewmember doesn't turn into a zombie but does spread the virus. Once patient 0 is killed by survivers zombies are no longer able to respawn/stand up again from death. The thing is.... Patient 0 diesn't know if they have the virus or not, because they get no symptoms.

i like this idea.

Just imagine,

"HoS, a messenger carrying important information has come from the medbay"

"Please read it to me communication officer"

"I will, it reads, HALP SYNDICAT HERE ME BE MURDERBONED SEND HALP PLS"

"Very interesting communication officer, inform our men to start assaulting the medbay and i will inform the captain"

So yeah, that would be cool

December 9, 2015

This just sounds like enforced griefing.

That said, if (and that's a really big "if") the server has a decent amount of good roleplayers, this could be quite cool. Unfortunately, I have yet to see a round with more than 2 or 3 people who actually bother with roleplay, and even then, they are usually in meaningless jobs like Barber or Librarian.

LIBRARIAN MEANINGLESS! How dare ye!

December 8, 2015

I really, REALY like this idea.

Just imagine a round with this event.

I'll just post a few stories from different perspectives during this event.

Perspective of the HoS

"I've just gotten a horrible fax from cent. comm."

"Is it directive x sir?"

"No officer, it's time to be Shitler"

"Is that the guy with the list sir? From that movie Shitler's list?"

"No fucktard, it means you litterally hitler, gawd, everyone is so stupid."

*guy comes in that has stolen the banana peel from the clown*

"You know the drill officers" the warden says.

"You're going to the perma brig" The guy is told.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" The guy screams over the common radio

From this point we switch to the perspective of the criminal

-question to [insert mentor name]-

Why the FUCK was i arrested?

-awnser from [insert mentor name]-

Just some cool event we started, just roll with it

*guy get's thrown into the perma brig where there already are like 6 people*

"Why are you here?" The guy is asked

"I just stole a FUCKING banana peel, and now i'm in perma"

"Yeah i heard the guards talking about this special fax from central command" A guy in the back says.

"We should warn the rest of the station before it's too late" Another dude starts shouting

So they enable the intercomm in the perma brig and start shouting why they were arrested.

*warden comes into the permabrig and snatches someone*

"What's going to happen to him?" Our guy asks

"Nobody know, they just seem to dissapear when they leave this room. Some say they are put back onto the station because their crimes were too petty, others fear the worst"

Our guy get's a chill down his spine.

Now from the journalist's perspective

The journalist was just doing his regular job by reporting basicly all interesting stuff on the station to a newscaster when he heard over common radio why some people were thrown in perma.

He goes to the bar and when a group of like 3 people are there he starts shouting

"There are currently things going on in the brig that is against our human rights! People are being locked up for barely any crimes at all! We should warn the station for this threat, and we should help the innocent held in the brig!"

"Well then, what evidence do you have for that little journalist?" The bartender asks with his shotgun pointed at the journalist

"Well uhm.... I've been there!" The journalist lies

"I have escaped the prison myself and it was horrible, people were being executed left and right. Most people in there were there for petty crimes like breaking a door or something like that" He continues

"Well that's horrible" The bartender says while putting his shotgun away.

"We should indeed help those guys" a guy smoking a sigarette says.

At that point a security officer barges into the bar screaming

"You are all under arrest for the highest of crimes! Insulting NT And staging a prison break!"

Everyone flees from the bar into the maintenance tunnel except for the bartender, who get's tazed before he reaches the door.

the end.

You see, the story basicly writes itself, this event would be GREAT for roleplaying, but yes, it would suck for the guy who get's executed one second into the shift. But meh, all good things have costs.

December 8, 2015

yeah, that could be fun. But what if the law becomes that everyone NEEDS a weapon. That would mean you can get arrested for NOT having a gun.

December 7, 2015

As for the respawning zombies, aside from the rising ones, that would be the toughest as you'd go best with mobs wearing random loadouts/clothing. This would give variation so it doesn't look like you're removing the same zombie over and over again. Rising zombies you will fight repeatedly until they are properly removed. Limbless zombies, if left along long enough, could rise with their limbs back.

That's an amazing idea.

December 6, 2015

Full Description part 3:

How do deal with all zombies being wiped out.

A zombie king. Basicly an alien queen, but instead of forming alien eggs, it can form Virus Pods. These virus pods could look the same as alien eggs but green. These will allow the zombies to respawn. But to make sure it isn't too overpowered, their special abilities will only start to take effect after 2 minutes after respawning. IC reason: The virus needs time to spread in the organism.

But what would you require to become a zombie king?

Nothing but willpower. Once 10 zombies have been created due to the virus, one of them is able to become a king, just like a mask on the cultist gamemode.

This zombie king will have no way of attacking, but can make gib-nets, basicly red vines.

If you guys have any more fun ideas, or critisism about this or the previous description i'dd love to read it

Full Description part 2: DIfferent classes of zombies for each species as suggested by Tauka Usanake

Human: "walkers" | Bites as attack | No ability | Looks like regular zombie
Tajaran: "Scratchers" | Scratches as attack | Night vision as ability | Look like regular zombie with hair and half a tail

Unathi: "Reptiles" | Bites as attack | More lives due to scales | Greener than regular zombies and has red eyes

Skrell: "Spitters" | Uses acid spit as primary attack | Can absorb dead bodies as ability for more health | Looks like skrell but with only one of those things on their head

Slime People: "Crawlers" | Uses bites as attack | Can ventcrawl as ability | Half a slime person with only arms

Vox: "Spacers" | Uses scratches as attack | Can go into space without a suit as ability (Just like regular voxes) | Look like voxes without a beak

Grey: "Blinkers" | Uses Bites as attack | Can do small teleports (Blink) | Looks like a grey with it's brain exposed

Kidan: "Critters" | Uses Bites as attack | Can spawn small spiders as ability | Looks like a kidan with only half a head and it's brain exposed

Machine People: "Fakers" | Uses Bite as attack (does no damage due to the lack of a mouth) | Can use *beep loads as special ability | Look like regular machine people because they don't actually have the virus and just pretend to be zombies

Diona: "Trunks" | Uses a trunk bash as their attack | Has Regenerating health in the light as ability | Looks like a regular diona except a lot more grey as if the tree has burned a bit

Plasmaman: "Boomers" | Uses short plasmaball lit on fire as it's attack (regular wizard fireballs will do) | He passivly fills a room with plasma, but in zombified mode, can survive in plasmaless environments while filling the rooms with plasma. Then he can light himself on fire which will cause all the plasma he has pumped into the room to light too and go *boom* | Do you know the sprite for fat humans? Yeah that, but purple

The reason they change into cool people with special abilities is because the virus unlocks powers that the species secretly have had for generations, but the virus learns to master the powers.

December 6, 2015

There have been rounds in which i said, welcome to NCS Cyberiad when i was told: Mate, it's NSS.

And when i say, Welcome to NSS Cyberiad i'm told: Mate, it's NCS.

So here's a poll, NSS or NCS.

December 4, 2015

Chapter 0: First contact

Our story starts at the moment a certain security officer arrives at the station. You are part of the Fortress of Brig, is suddenly displayed in the textbox.

"How are we going to do this Supreme Leader Tristan?" was the first thing our security officer asked.

"We are going to truly create a true fortress RVD." Tristan responded.

Chapter 1: Drawing the iron curtain

First thing i (RVD) did was scavenge for supplies, i got most of the tools avaible on the station and some misc. items like some fire suits, metal sheets etc.

After that i began building our fort, it came togheter very fast. I quickly build an additional checkpoint when entereing the brig, removed some of the doors so there were less ways to get in, and added mounted flashes to finish the ordeal.

My radio headset started relaying some words that i didn't think would matter "Science might be building warmechs" I heard Cy Roberts say.

"Just keep reinforcing the fort! and build some windoors in the checkpoint" My supreme leader Tristan said.

"Ofcourse supreme leader" I responded.

Chapter 2: The trade

"Go connect the solars to the Fortress so we can live without engineering Paladin!" I heard my supreme leader say.

"Yes sir!" I responded ofcourse.

One problem, our insulated gloves weren't exactly made out of rubber. I knew cargonia had been ordering some crates full of the real stuff.

I went over to cargonia and on my way there i found an empty toolbox. I put the gloves in them and came up to the window of cargonia.

"How can YOU help cargonia?" A gritty voice told me.

"I'm here on an official trading mission from the Fortress" I responded

"What have you got?" His dark voice asked

"Toolbox with insulated gloves in them, i'dd like a pair of insulated gloves and a multitool from you"

"Ofcourse we'll make that happen!" He said in a suddenly less gritty voice as if he tought HE was getting the better deal.

After swapping the items i made my way to the solars.

Chapter 3: Prematurely Sabotaged

After i had picked up a security hardsuit i went out of a broken window near the solars.

I wired all the solars up untill i came to the solar tracker, There was no tracker.

I soon remembered something i heard earlier that shift coming from an engineer. It was something along the lines of "Darn voxes are messing with our space stuff"

I knew i wasn't going to give up, The Fortress needed this!

I headed to another solar array and borrowed a solar tracker from that one.

Once i had dissassembled that tracker i was on my way back trough space, back to the solar array.

After i installed this brand new tracker i broke into the solar array control room, when that was all set up i went ahead and cut all wires that lead to other places than the Fortress. When i had set this up we were running on our own power source, no need for engineering to step in.

Chapter 4: Sudden Promotion

After about an hour of nothing happening and me just patrolling the new checkpoint, something horrible happened.

*boom* Half the checkpoint exploded. I hear mechs stomping around the hallways. *boom* Second explosion, they could get into the Fortress now.

At this point everything started to go in slowmotion in my mind, I saw a durand staring at me. He fired a machine gun at our supreme leader, when suddenly

I saw a missile, it headed straight towards me. And i got hit, directly. With a leg less and dents everywhere i managed to survive this direct hit from the missile. Collin Bastille dragged me away and said i couldn't fight anymore because i wouldn't stand a chance. Although i knew he was right, i wanted to protect the Fortress, the thing i had created. After bickering a while and me not being able to get up because i had no leg i gave in, collin WAS right and i WAS stupid for trying to go back there.

I recieved a cane and started asking about other survivers, there were only 3. Me, Collin and one other officer. I pronounced myself Supreme Leader of The Fortress of Brig and gave orders to get anything of value from the now destroyed brig.

Chapter 5: Time to go

They told me everything of value was in fact gone from the brig but i didn't believe them, so they went ahead and ran to the garden area in which we had agreed to make a new base. While i went to the brig. And yes, there were infact loads of goodies in the brig. Sadly, my legless body slipped at one point, which ended in me dying due to the lack of pressure in the breached room.

Just before my auditory processors failed due to the vacuum of space i heard "An emergency shuttle has been called"

Epilogue

This was my story of the nations round earlier today. I would love to hear all your stories about how it went down in other departments, i left out loads of parts of the full story on this one but i kind of ran out of time to write. I hope you enjoyed it.

For the TL:DR guys out there: I build a fort, i got hit by a missile, i died by a stupid thing i did.

December 3, 2015

Name of Event: The walking dead

One Sentence Description: Zombie virus, Shuttle comes in 1.5 hours.

Map Changes: No

Code Changes: yes (atleast i think so)

Suggested Number of Players: atleast 30

Full Description of Event: An uncurable airborne virus has infiltrated NCS Cyberiad via Pun Pun. After 10 minutes of the regular shift, people start getting symptoms like "you are getting hungry" in red text. After 15 minutes all power on the station fails, IC reason: Virus emits EMP rays. After 20 minutes all infected crew turn into zombies, which the players can control. 25 minutes into the shift NANOTRASEN ANNOUNCEMENT: "an uncurable virus has infiltrated NCS Cyberiad. All crew is to stay calm and avoid all infected. Symptoms include but are not limited to: Getting hungry, cannabalism and rotting skin. An emergency shuttle has been dispatched but because your energy signals are minimal it will take us some time to find you." At this point the whole crew will basicly go full walking dead and make a base and stop trusting all people who might be infected. Zombies win if all survivers are killed (IPC's not included) Survivers win if atleast 2 people get off on the shuttle WITHOUT the virus in their blood.

How about all the IPC have their PDA hardwired into them. Make them message like the AI via the menu on the right.

Make them able to add PDA cartridges into them, using everything via the menu. And maybe the detective cartridge could make it so that the IPC can just use his hands as scanner? Medic cartridge maybe makes them able to use their hand as medical scanner? Bartender internal booze dispenser? Scientist tank scanner? Chemist reagent scanner? Librarian camera? That guy that handles the death and i always forget the name of, an autopsy scanner?

If this is done they will ofcourse stay the masterrace that they are, but it just sounds unfair to just do this. So maybe grey could have telekinesis? Kidan heat vision?

So what do you guys think about this? And should the other races get upgrades too if this is done? we will never kn- oh sorry, force of habit.

October 12, 2015

Just a plain simple radio channel for the law-sub department. I mean the cargo sub-department has one.

So why not have an :L law channel for lawyers, IAA and the magistrate. Maybe the NT rep could als join in on this.

Or just change the service radio to a law radio. I never see anyone using :z anyways.

October 7, 2015

When someone you think is new and you've been hanging with te whole shift suddenly says

LOOC "Hey i've actually played with you before, i normally play as [Person you hate most]. Cool that we're friends now."

October 2, 2015

I always like events on this server/station, I'm talking about the custom ones here ofcourse. Not that i don't like a good xeno infestation or a nice refreshing meteor shower, but having someone special from nanotrasen come over to inspect the station, have some sort of ambassador from an alien species coming here to visit or having some religious figure spread his NT approved religion around the station are just events that i think are way cooler. I think events like this should get a little more common. And i think i could come up with some good events that can be done by just writing a NT message and giving a person a cool name with an ID with a cool job title.

So here's me wondering, could i become an event manager for events on the server?

I'm online for about 6-10 hours each week and i wouldn't even need any rights on the server except for sending Central Command updates and spawning in a character with a cool jobtitle.

This would make events more common but i understand you already have loads of staff and you don't need another one in the amsterdam/paris timezone, but can you please consider it a bit? You guys might now i'm slightly creative from my in game newspaper "NSS Cyberiad Crime Watch".

Reading the [declined] Unban appeals.

September 17, 2015

I've been making loads of newspapers in SS13 but this one actually got attention and people liked it so here is the full thing just copied. With getting attention i mean that Yuki was angry at me, some security officers were angry at me, the AI was angry at me, the HoS was angry at me, but the captain and HoP liked it.

Newscaster Unit #22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Small war at electrical maint behind the chapel! Multiple officers are fighting against an unkown group of people in electrical maintenance. The group consists of atleast 5 people according to security reports and is highly dangerous. Word goes around that the group has the AI under their control. Who are these people? What is their agenda? We might never know.
