Do you smell it? That smell. A kind of smelly smell. A smelly smell that smells...smelly. SUGGESTIONS! On a more Serious Note I felt like thinking of some Traitor items and because I actually do not intend to spam suggestions to death I contained all of em in one list. Alright lets begin! Reverse Russian Revolver - 2 Tc - Functions and looks like the normal russian revolver but comes with 5 loaded chambers instead of one. Perfect for duelling your target at the bar, just make sure to convince them to go first. (And god have mercy on your soul if he survives the first round.) “Never trust a member of the syndicate to play fairly, especially in matters of life and death.” Madder Dog Hot Sauce - 2 Tc - The hottest Hot Sauce to exist in the universe. It is in fact hot enough to ignite anyone ingesting it on fire. (And make them scream a lot. (Bonus points if they get a giant red message that is even bigger than the OH SHIT ANTS one)). Can be used to put a drop of it into food to make the food just as hot (and dangerous). “Categorised as a chemical weapon in over 30 different planets.” Fake floor Tile - 2 Tc - Looks exactly like a floor tile, but is in reality a piece of painted cardboard. Anyone stepping on it trips and breaks the tile. (At least I think there's enough space between a floor tile and the floor below to get your foot stuck in it if you were to go through the floor suddenly. I mean the smugglers satchel fits there.) Best used to prep a meeting place. “These rarely ever get traced back to a syndicate agent as clowns love to do the same thing.” (Man imagine if anyone could actually do this with some cardboard and a crayon) Martial Mopping Scroll - Janitor Only - 12 Tc - Teaches you the Art of “Mop Fu”. As long as you have a Mop in your hand you gain a bunch of abilities: Instantly wet any floors by clicking on them with mop in hand Deal extra damage with mop on people lying on the ground (Bonus points if he yells random messages like “SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE SIGN!”) Natural immunity to slipping on wet floors Maybe projectile deflection like Carp Fu? So the poor guy doesn’t just get shot while trying to look cool. The counter to this would be 2 things: Literally just walking (As they will still be normal wet floors) Anything with slip immunity Borgs. Ps: You really just gotta imagine a madly laughing janitor spreading wetness everywhere while borgs run after him. “An ancient art born from the need to fend off enraged people who didn’t read the sign.” Bucket of Bluespace Paint - 2 Tc - Splash this onto any wall to paint a fake airlock onto it. Anyone trying to use it by running into it runs straight into the wall, sustaining minor brute damage and falling on the ground for a moment. Trying to use it by clicking on it will reveal its true nature as a wall painting. Can be cleaned like crayon drawings. (Omega Bonus points if you remove an actual Airlock and replace it with this) “Someone faxed the syndicate that they should try being creative, now we can’t even trust our own doors anymore!” Advanced Cardboard Cutout - 2 Tc - This Cutout is equipped with sensors that react to light. If shined on with light, after a short delay this cutout will teleport a short distance away and then proceed to self destruct, leaving no trace of its existence. The perfect tool to scare the station into believing the round is Shadowlings. "I'm telling you man IT MOVED!" That's it for now. May make another post in this thread later when I got a new batch of ideas in my head.

You...are aware that is already an item, right? Box of throwing weapons, 3 TC, comes with 5 throwing stars that are guaranteed to embed and 2 bolas. The stars even do exactly 20 damage.

Some backstory: Lich, everyone's favorite NT Rep, has been attempting to assist two of his friends in getting married. Every time they attempted to FINALLY get somewhere- all hell would break loose to the point that it was neigh impossible. Between the usual chaos of the station or one or more parties not being present, it turned into quite the wait before everything was minimally ready. After much patience and a few space cows: It finally happened.... Sorta. Current Story: So the shift started off rather normally, nothing jumping out as being otherwise dangerous or requiring a lot of action on anyone's part to handle. It just so happened to finally be the day that both parties were on the same shift with enough people to finally get the paperwork done. Lich, being the master of paperwork that he is, eagerly stepped up to the plate when it came to filling out the appropriate forms. With pen in hand, he laid down the foundations and before long- the basics of the marriage certificate were all but officiated. For the paperwork to be considered complete, Lich needed to get a Minister and three witnesses to make the document complete. With his own signature, he turned the number of witnesses down two just two. And so started Lich's adventure to get signatures on a piece of paper! What could possibly go wrong? Fast-forward ten minutes later and Lich is banging his head against the wall. Lich failed to remember that he had a strange encounter with the Chaplain and their friends prior to starting the paperwork. They were requesting the nuke of all damn things to worship! The captain was a bit unsure about giving it to them but wasn't tossing the idea out the window due to threats from the chaplain regarding the 'Wrath of Atom'. The captain decided at that point to leave to go ask CC if they could have it, this raised two problems: 1. The Chaplain was clearly not going to help Lich sign as a minister unless he was ultra lucky. 2. The Captain was too busy doing other things to actually sign his form and was not answering any of his requests regarding it for some time. Lich did what any rational person would do in his position. He sat infront of the captain's door and spammed the shit out of it until the captain got so annoyed they opened it up. Success! Once inside, Lich had it easy as the Captain was all too happy to sign... As a WITNESS. They signed it, stamped it, it was done unless he wanted to start all over again but apparently that's what the couple wanted anyway so-... He'd have to figure out Something. At the same time, the Captain politely informed Lich that the church was likely not going to be TOO happy given that CC gave a rather strongly worded response about handing the nuke out to random people. With this information in hand, he left and did what he could to try and make amends with the chaplain in HOPES that he could get this paperwork filled out. Another witness would be easy, the minister signature? Now that was a bit harder, so this was critical to his success. Lich made his way to the chapel and found one of the chaplain's friends in there but the chaplain was nowhere to be seen. Lich was apparently in so much of a rush that he didn't really register that the chaplain's friend was putting down green flooring... And was wearing a radiation suit... And was holding uranium... Needless to say Lich did his best to quickly leave that place and head towards the medbay, attempting to recover from this situation and get some treatment. Yeah.. That didn't happen. As Lich finally got to the Medbay, he learned very quickly that someone had gotten into the space lube and had coated all of the area in front of Medbay with it several times over. So there Lich was, slipping from one end of the hallway to the other, slowly dipping further and further into a crit state while he was clutching this precious document for all it was worth. Then... He passed out. Lich awoke with a start! The defibrillator going off as he was hip tossed into a cryopod and returned to his comatose like state... Another start! Again on the ground, Lich found himself being dragged up and hip tossed BACK into cryo. Another start! And again Lich was on the ground but he didn't even get to see the damn cryo before... Another Start! And again Lich... Another start!... This happened for about four or five times before they seemed to give up. He felt his spirit finally start to drift a bit as his body slowly rested... Another start! Lich was semi-conscious enough to look over and see himself... Sort of. A half of his face floated by in the mess of biomass that was the failed cloning attempt they had tried on him. Perhaps it was watching the literal blinder mess that was his clone's body or perhaps it was the fact that he was going into cardiac arrest, either way- you know the drill. Another start! Thankfully it's the last one. Lich finally stood up, stark naked in the middle of Medbay but not really caring. He NEEDED to get his paperwork back. He didn't care about ANYTHING other then his damn paperwork. Rushing to the cloning area, he managed to get in and recover his dignity as well as the precious documents before skulking off towards the bridge, defeated for the moment. Screw it, he decided, I'll just PDA them and tell them to come HERE. After all, it's the least they could do after THAT mess, right? Just as he hit Send on his PDA, asking rather politely for the chaplain to come to the medical bay he heard something in his headset: The chaplain was in critical state in the medbay reception area. Lich banged his head against the wall a few times before going to see if the chaplain would survive or if he'd have to wait for her to die about five times too before she'd be deemed okay to walk out again. As he entered the Medbay he noticed the CMO hovering over the chaplain, perhaps there was hope after all for this situation! The CMO, to their credit, wasn't involved in his care until the very end when he was able to walk away- so perhaps the chaplain would actually make it out of there in a timely manner!.. Eh, sorta... The chaplain died about two or three times total, a mixture of advanced radiation poisoning (ironic), cardiac arrest, and perhaps some legitimate wrath from a deity. Either way, the chaplain was FINALLY spit out of the cryotube and given the CMO's blessings to walk out. Lich was ecstatic, shaking the chaplain with the goal of waking her up or giving her brain damage in the process, which ever came first. She finally managed to stagger to her feet and Lich whipped out his trust PDA, eager to send his request to her to SIGN THE DAMN PAPER AND HOLD THE DAMN CEREMONY. Just as he was going to hit send he heard a ping overhead: Ionospheric anomalies... Telecoms down... FUCK IT! Lich grabbed the chaplain and handed her a pen, practically stabbing it into her with the urgency he had. As he went to hand her the other form he realized she had fused her arm into a fucking arm blade because of course she did. Frantically, Lich grabbed ahold of her and dragged her over towards the nearest table. He slapped that paper down and pointed to the Minister line. It was RIGHT there. The chaplain raised her hand, moving to sign before collapsing over again. Lich thought she died for a moment then he realized.. She's just asleep... SSD... Lich proceeded to flip the table and get on his knees, silently crying out to whatever god was deciding to take a serious piss on him at that moment. After a private pitty party, Lich grabbed the SSD chaplain by the ankle and hauled her to the bridge. If she was waking up, he'd be there dammit. And yet- he was running out of time! He had to think of SOMETHING! Smashing his head against the bridge walls again, it finally hit him- the chaplain's friends! They were given titles of Clergy! Frantically, Lich PDAed them as soon as he could and thankfully- it worked... They showed up, or the first one did and proceeded to hand it to the second one who THEN proceeded to hand it BACK to Lich until Lich showed them EXACTLY where to sign. Thankfully, he FINALLY got that signature! Lich turned around and went back into the bridge, having only been just outside of it. Now inside, the couple was there, their other friend signing as witness, THINGS WERE FINALLY GOING WELL! They even decided to hold the chapel service then and there, not wanting to hold any other delays, right on the bridge. They closed the shutters, blocking out the Christmas tree that was attempting to wail on the bridge window and actually managed to get through the whole process! They were finally married! Then they were all eaten by a slaughter demon... Literally. The end.

NOTE: I am not writing this out of hate but out of a desire to fix the race so that they're not just "dog people". So I have an artist friend who deals a lot with animals, anthropology, and such and I asked them to draw my character. When attempting to explain what a Vulp is, I used the Wiki article and that's when we both discovered that there are some things that definitely need explained if this race is going to be anything other then "Dog Person". I have a background in medicine so we put our heads together and came up with a few things to point out. Based on their anatomy and physiology we determined that prior to NT finding them they were likely a hunter-gatherer society that likely had some amount of farming capability but primarily relied on tools and ambush tactics. This idea is supported by the fact that they have low light vision, opposable thumbs, and plantigrade feet which would not make them very fast in comparison to something like an actual dog. Their ribs are apparently fused in a web-like lattice structure. This structure, we deduced, has to be relatively flexible not only to suit their ambush tactics but if it was rigid, they'd have more 'barrel chested' appearances. Additionally, having this lattice like structure would actually give them more blood flow then a human (as humans have bundles of veins and arteries tucked under each rib in a small notch) since blood flow can go and reach just about anywhere in the chest cavity without major obstruction. This would require them to have rather tough lungs to help push up against their own chest. As far as organs are concerned, it is noted that they have two primary differences to humans: 1. A two chambered stomach. 2. A 'special' liver. Ill discuss these later. Their face will have to have center focused eyes (like a human) that don't offer as great of a field of vision as a prey would have. In addition, due to their overall structure and nature they can probably smell very well but at the cost of requiring them to have strong muzzles. Their jaws, on the other hand, don't need to be as strong nor do their necks as they don't appear to need to be able to hold thrashing animals in their teeth, thus their teeth aren't too tough in comparison to humans. Here are the things that we feel need to either be clarified or otherwise changed as to make the race actually make some means of practical sense. If Atlam was a temperate world, why the increased blood flow to the ears? You wouldn't need greater thermo-regulation in a temperate environment, regardless of how 'big' their ears are it's otherwise excessive. If you're saying it's an evolutionary adaptation, it's been about 4 generations since they've moved and become space fairing, that's very fast evolution by anyone's standards and while variances in height might be possible in that time, developing entire networks of collateral blood flow in ears to accommodate space? Color blindness and correction. The reason why a lot of creatures are colorblind is because they've got an advantage in light conditions that we as humans (who see more color) don't have. Most wild animals are able to see in low light areas which increases their ability to hunt. As we already mentioned, we're pretty sure that they were ambush predators who relied on hunting so them having relative color blindness in favor of low-light visibility makes sense. What doesn't make sense is if it's later corrected, they should, in theory, lose the ability to see in the dark as effectively as they previously could. Possible solution: Only one eye is usually fixed. The brain will be able to bridge the gap and fill in the color blindness while also allowing them to retain their low light visibility. Chest cavity. Due to how their chest is made up, it's got to be more flexible then a humans. This would be a lot more akin to our floating ribs due to their overall requirement of flexibility and allowing expansion during inhalation. The ribs, in conjunction with the muscles of the chest, would support them taking breaths in and would also do decent jobs protecting their chests from slashing damage but would be relatively shit at protecting them from blunt trauma. This is due to the fact that, unlike a human's semi-rigid chest thanks to the presence of a sternum, they have nothing but a flexible chest that prioritizes supporting their stream-like design rather then being protective and thus take more organ damage from blunt trauma. Organs. While their heart is likely 4 chambered, lungs will have to be different in the sense that they're more tough and able to support moving their chest in a uniform motion as they draw in a breath. Otherwise, the muscles on their chest have to be rather significant as they're always relying on these (what would be to a human 'accessory') muscles to help move their chest in a meaningful way. Additionally, their stomach is two chambered apparently? We actually figured this is reasonable if they're able to consume raw meat. We're aware that creatures like bears are able to do both with a single chambered stomach but we realized that while the stomach is very strong in a bear, it requires a ton of intestines to help support its large structure as the whole system is generally inefficient when compared to the relatively compact design we're going for here. Thus, the stomach should be noted to probably be able to handle raw meat a lot better then most other crew members could be able to. What about the specialized "vulpkanin liver" as when a vulp is gibbed, it's even denoted as such? Well that thing has to support a very fast metabolism which makes since with the +11% loss to hunger. In turn, medications, toxins, and food should all be processed quickly though the body but remain for very brief amounts of time. For example, if you give a vulp and a human the same med: The vulp will have the medicine activate sooner and end sooner then the human would by a significant amount. This means that vulp may require more medication to heal them then most crew. The issue with the tails: Since they're plantigrade creatures they are able to enjoy all the benefits that humans do with their hands and feet, like the ability to be bipedal, climb, pick things up, wear clothes, etc. Since their so plantigrade why have the tails in the first place? Tails are usually used as a means of providing some amount of balance to a creature as it moves in some form or fashion. Cats use it to turn while running and falling. Now, their tails do have some use in the way of communicating in their language as well as playing a role in their overall body language. Where this doesn't make sense is that their tail has a similar bone structure to a limb rather than a usual tail? Monkeys, dogs, cats, etc all have tails that are essentially part of their spines and play an active role in such. They are, thanks to their spinal nature, light weight and generally easy to control in some form or fashion. Vulps apparently have a bone structure more akin to a limb? For a vulp to wag their tail as they do in game, that means that we know it's at least greater than one to two bones (likely closer to around three to six at least) because the more long bones present, the less flexible and able to 'wag' the tail. This means that not only is their tail Heavy due to the bone presence but the flexibility required to communicate would be staunched greatly. Simple fix: have it as a part of their spine. Makes it light weight, non-weight bearing (can't pick shit up with them), but able to be controlled to some degree that would make it essential for communication. Simple fixes: Amend the wiki and potentially give them more organ damage as a result of blunt trauma to the chest.

I mean, Plasmamen are obscured by the potential that they were previously humans who are now suffering from a unique disease. Creates mystery while explaining their shape and disposition. Overall great writing.

I still like my idea of the Pnuematic Stack Splitter for 6 tc. Holds one full stack of items (like a 50 stack of rods or 60 stack of floor tiles) and shoots them out one at a time until empty. Show them the true potential of floor tiles.

Hello there, it's me again with more suggestion. Bad news is its only two this time, good news is I improved the format a little bit by adding a "why" section where I talk about some background thoughts I have about the idea. Box of Energy Shurikens - 6 Tc - A box filled with Energy Shurikens. Perfect for people who love throwing things. When thrown Energy Shurikens deal 20 Damage and embed upon hitting someone. Why: Because it would be nice to have a proper high damage throwing weapon. It would kinda be the more expensive and stronger version of those syndicate cards. “A reminder of the one time the syndicate worked together with the Spider clan.” Rabies Shot - Scientist only - 6 Tc - An injector that when used on a simple mob turns it hostile after two minutes. Holds 5 Charges. It should be noted that the user of the injector is in no way safe from the wrath of the simple mobs, so best to get away fast. Why: The basic idea behind this one is to have a traitor item made for xenobiologists. We all know how they love to sometimes spread massive amounts of neutral mobs through the station like space bears and the likes. Now imagine what chaos could unfold if these mobs suddenly turned hostile. Concerning sentient simple mobs, the injector could either outright refuse to inject them or the players would be told to go wild. “Not the Bears!”

To be honest, I don't know what's going on anymore. But at least @Spacemanspark helped @shatterdcoyote with his eye sight issues.

Alffd, who has hosted us for several years, is retiring from that role today. We owe him our thanks for years of high-quality hosting, managing the ~17 (!) back end servers that made up Paradise. We wish him well. As of today, I've officially taken on the role of host, and we have completed our migration to a new set of servers. You may notice some changes as I settle into the role and implement new back-end systems. For example, the game server MOTD now tells you the last time the server was updated, as well as what version of paracode it is running.

ALL NEW BLUESPACE ITEMS ARE CONDEMNED ON THE SERVER. This post is void but I'll leave it up since the sprites look cool. https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/10771 I really want to code some new bluespace upgrades, and want some neat, not over-powered ideas to occupy my coding cravings. Almost anything could be bluespace and protolathe printed, so comment below what you would like me to code! Coded/Finished items (All sprites were created by @Ionward) Bluespace Medical Hypospray - Holds 100u instead of 30u. Can also inject through hardsuits. Bluespace Handcuffs: A pair of rechargeable handcuffs that has a max of 3 charges to dispense energy cuffs with the same breakout time as zip ties. Vaporizes when broken out of. Suggested by@xeroxide Bluespace Emergency Oxygen Tank: Has a volume of 10 rather than 4. Suggested by @xeroxide Modular Hud Attachment Device (MHAD): Can hold two huds of any type to allowing the user to use two huds at once. Suggested by @xeroxide Bluespace Defibrillator - Able to revive after a patient has been dead for 2/3rds longer than normal. Also gives a little bit of health (more than the base amount) after successful revival. Also can revive through hardsuits. q Bluespace Bone Setter: A bone setter and bone gel combo that's just the IMS for bones. Suggested by me originally than @Pckables made me rethink. Y'all gotta fight for it to get added when I post the PR. Definitely going to code (in a future PR) Bluespace Jumpsuit: Allows walking through players with harm intent. Also provides an ambient glow, possibly a flashlight replacement. Suggested by @Splgrk Bluespace Swiss Army Knife: - All tools of a tool belt (minus multitool and devices) in one "convenient" item. Suggested by @Medi Bluespace light replacer (Non-emaggable): Can replace and pick up lights from range through walls, (like RnD's Bluespace RPED). Can dump stored broken lights into lathes in a similar fashion. Suggested by @Pckables Bluespace Bandolier: Holds more shells. Suggested by @Denthamos. Bluespace RCD: Long range RCD. Costs more the farther the target. Also in borg module form. Suggested by @Denthamos. Link to my github so yall can see the code, item names, and descriptions. https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/compare/master...Jazz23:Bluepace-Upgrades

Hello all, 1. Started the round as a civilian. 2. Go to HoP line and transfer into an understaffed Security. 3. Get Mindshielded. 4. Spawn an Agent Stamp, Mask, and Uniform. 5. Proceed to the IAA. Ask them how the Fax worked - asked if I could try logging in and checking its mechanics. They trusted me, a Mind Shielded Officer. 6. Copy their ID. 7. Forge paperwork, faking the identity of Major Han Sol - the CC Officer. Requesting my target's cremation. 8. Target gets cremated. I go on patrol. 9. It's blue alert by now, due to confirmed Syndicate Activity. I abuse this change in colour, and randomly search the CMO [peacefully]. 10. Ask to see his ID. Check his bags. Copy his ID, gain bridge access. 11. With Bridge Access I go to IAA to fake another Fax. This time announcing Major Han Sol's arrival to the Cyberiad. Saying I'll be their main point of contact with Central Command. So anything that was meant to go to CC was redirected to my Office [NT Rep]. 12. Discarded old attire, binned and destroyed it. Equip the ID, Gas Mask, Security Helmet, Taser, Detective's Cloak and rock up to the Bridge without a Radio or proper equipment and complain this is due to the 'Budget Cuts' enforced by Central Command after the Station accidentally releases the Tesla [to be fixed by Admins at a 10,000,000 debt to the Station]. 13. I go through all of Command's SoP. Ask to check the HoP's ID, and copy it in the process of checking if he had all-access. 14. He didn't. So I cycle through command, and the Captain recommends I take on an IAA to follow me around. I do, and decide to give the IAA a fake promotion, to 'Naval Officer Recruit'. 15. While handing the new Naval Officer Recruit all-access, I copied their ID. 16. Issued orders continuously throughout the round. No one suspected a thing. 17. Escape successfully, and without my cover being blown. 18. Got no karma that round due to people thinking I was an admin character.

So while I can't claim to be an expert. I do know a decent amount of physics astro and otherwise. Lets break this down a bit. We'll start with the quantity of gas listed. A mole refers to a number of molecules. I won't go into details on that but all you really need to know is that the size of the molecule directly affects the size and volume of a mole of that molecule. Under normal circumstances, Nitrogen and oxygen would be at roughly 82 and 21 moles respectively. Due to the pressure they're under, the gas has achieved a density of about 4.5 times that. We won't touch the CO2 and Heat Capacity is a result of density and air products so they are relatively self explanatory. Now for the big stuff. How much pressure is 6.15e+015kPA? Well, to start, it's 6.07e+013 or 60 tera-Atmospheres. While I wasn't able to find great sources on the actual pressures in stars, this is above the point where hydrogen would start fusing but certainly still in the realm of possibilities for larger metallic stars. Enjoy being one with a star I guess? The Temp is the real fun one 4.00e+015C is about three orders of magnitude higher than the Hagedorn temperature. In other words, this is so hot, that matter is no longer recognizable. Atoms can not form at this temperature and you get a quark gluon plasma not dissimilar from the earliest moments of the universe. We're not talking about anything to crazy like the merging of the fundamental forces, we're just talking about the temperature reaching a point so hot that the kinetic energy of the quarks that make up the particles in the cores of atoms becomes greater than the strong and weak nuclear forces. In other words, you would not be vaporized, you would not be atomized, you would instead be rendered into a state so unrecognizable and exotic that we have not yet even been able to confirm its existence.
