I'm a sentimental person so I'm probably prone to this, but to me SS13 and this server in particular is a game of moments. Fleeting and ephemeral. Awkward moments of social interaction. Conflicting interests and misunderstandings. Bravery, cowardice, and malice. Mentorship and menace. When the round is over its all gone forever. Mostly. You had to be there. I'm not adding anything new here, just dropping a note of thanks for rounds well played. Hope I dropped it in the right place. I also hope in the long run I can keep up. Big thanks to those of you who have helped me acclimate.1 point

Yeah, there is so much potential there. Since psychological experiments are always based on people, they would force interaction between the psychologist and the crewmembers. There could be a number of different experiments, pre-determined, similar to station goals where the Psychologist has to write a report and hand it to the captain or NTrep for faxing in or the goals could be more freeform and have no "cleared" state. It would require some re-writes to the Psychologist and it would become a more prominent role, but as I mention in my first post, they have no purpose right now so why not try it. Goals they could have range from "candid camera" level seriousness to really dark. There could be actual scientific value for some of these things for a corporation like Nanotrasen. In todays world, many experiments wouldn't be ethical but Nanotrasen doesn't seem to be that ethical.. Off the top of my head, scaled from comedic and light to sad and dark, here are some experiments/studys: Does the violence level of the station decrease based on the cleanliness of the station? Make sure it's clean and observe the results. Suggested method is increasing the amount of janitors, checking they do their job and correlate with amount of reports of violence or brigged subjects. How does the different departments react to having the clown in their department, entertaining them? Perform the experiment, interview subjects and write a detailed report. Which race responds best to a pay raise? Have the HoP call in members of different races and tell them they are getting a payraise. Obviously they can't find out this is an experiment based on race so keep it secret. Observe and write a report. Does the level of violence increase if the station is dirtier or bloodier? Make sure it's messy and observe the results. Is there a way to make prisoners performe productive labor for Nanotrasen? Work with security to set up simple workstations in the cells. Writing books, making sushi, crafting objects could all be useful and valuable to Nanotrasen. What motivates them best? Money, promise of freedom, encouragement or threats? What is the breaking point for the different command members? Interview each of them and see if they behave professionally even though you are allowed to act like a baffoon to rile them up. What is the best way to explain to an individual that they have been wrongfully arrested without them seeking revenge or becoming unproductive? Get security to arrest 3 innocent civilians and find out. Since these psychological experiments are based on natural reactions, the Psychologist should keep them secret for as much as they can. It might lead to a closer work with the NTrep or IAA agents which I think would be good.1 point
