[New antagonist: Syndicate Operator]

You are the Syndicate Operator, a high ranking Syndicate agent sent to aid operatives! Remember that you were supposed to only influence from the shadows!

1. Find 3 operatives.
2. Ensure that each one of them has at least 1 completed objective. 'Die a glorious death' and 'escape alive and free' do not count.
3. Escape on the shuttle alive and free.

Details:

• Has no uplink.
• Receives a randomly generated code which he can use to distribute TC.
• Starts with: agent ID card, chameleon clothes, 2 syndicate encryption keys (reduntant to give one to an operative for free or in case he loses the other one), voice synthetizer, DNA Scrambler.
• An operative counts 'found' when the Operator sends a single PDA message to the operative's PDA containing a code.
• This does nothing to a normal PDA other than sending a message.
• If the PDA has an uplink then it will receive 10 extra TC. This will also alter the message into this: "(Unknown / ?Spam) A Syndicate Operator has found you and gave you 10 TC." The AI does not receive this as spam. The Operator also receives an extra message, saying: "10 TC uploaded to target's uplink!"
• Cannot send more than 30TC.
• In order to complete objective no. 1 the operator must send the code to 3 syndicate operatives.
• While objective 2 sounds weird at first it shows that this character was supposed to aid other Syndicate agents and is not a real traitor himself. For example you are not well armed normally, and your first operative is in permabrig. You must do something to make them have at least one completed objective. Find another agent and in exchange for TC have them free your other operative (if you do not know their objective) OR have them finish his objectives (if you do know his objectives).

Thoughts?

[Antag Reward]

No! We do not need to encourage people to strive for greentext even more. You should not give antagonists permanent rewards.

Sounds like a good opportunity for a RP club.

I thought about this, but I would rather see this as something official.

[IC forum]

Good evening!

I am most certain there are some RPers around here who would appreciate the existence of an IC forum area. For example there are several things that happen during the game and would worth becoming canon – thus creating a permanent news feed or something like that. I would also move crew records into it, as they are already mostly written like an IC document.

There is a lot of potential in it. Maybe it should bear a name like NanoNet.

yes, let’s see how much time it takes to have someone make a wetskrell.nt topic

Please discuss.

[Things other races are good for]

Vulpkanins are good pets, provided you have a leash and stunbaton.

[Why Humans are the best]

3. They don't die from some electric buzz thingy EMP.

[My heartfelt appeal: Let my Garys Gary!]

You should be able to make an IPC called Gary in human skin. That would not break any rules as far as  I know. And still everyone would be happy.

[Portfolio]

Please present anything you are proud of that you've built on the Cyberiad (or anywhere else, really). It does not have to look good, it does not have to be perfect - show us literally anything that fits the category.

[Reach the highest number without an admin posting]

Oh the pa1n.

[imsxz (Ares/Aphrodite) retirment]

You probably don't remember your few interactions with me, but I've actually seen a lot about you. I am sad, but good luck with whatever you are going to do in the future!

[Make cluwnes no longer 'Valid']

Well, that is their whole purpose. They are the only non-antag valids. Should we make cluwnes non-valids - it wouldn't be a cluwne anymore.

Say hello to the Greytide Legion. We managed to have about 15 people in this pile before someone slipped us all.

That was a wonderful shift, with so much wonderful things going on. Including this:

[Fart sounds (with cooldown?)]

Unfortunately I have to disagree too.

Considering NT is a company and would probably transfer terrorists/murders/etc from each shift to a Sol Gov prison so as to not have the cost of running a literal on-site penitentiary, I think this would be a bit silly from an IC perspective.

*cough* Megacorporation *cough*

NT is literally a state, just like SolGov. And we also know that NT absolutely loves spending money, just look at all that CC bluespace stuff they use in some shifts.

[Sign Language]

Maybe make it so that if you are mute or deaf at roundstart then you have sign language - no other way to acquire it though.

[Spinoff]

Ok, not this week then, and not the next either, as I won't be able to access my computer at all.

But it's 70% done. All that's left is engineering, research, security, and command. Including objects and enemies, except for research, as research is the final area - it will use all enemies encountered earlier.

[Spinoff]

Thanks for the positive feedback, everyone!

Here's the station layout. Colored not by rooms, but by required access.

Looks interesting. Any plans on releasing it to the public?

Yes. If everything goes well, then this week.

[An Introduction of Sorts]

Welcome to the station, comrade.

Have you died a horrible death yet?

[Spinoff]

Just some little thing I've been working on recently... A short singleplayer adventure.

[Remove Kill Objectives]

I like the prevent from escaping objectives. I read it as kidnap some one. I've done it once, was fun.

Exactly. Kidnapping is much more fun than killing. Even if I have a kill objective, I just kidnap, RP for the rest of the round in some way then:

• get caught.

OR

• grant them an epic death.

[Godling]

Anyone has an idea what is this supposed to be? It's called 'god' in the game files. Reverse shadowling maybe?

[Xenomorph Shuttle]

Yeah, I totally forgot terrorspiders. They would be a better alternative. Also, what was that AI good for? And I am going to check it whenever we still have them or not. I don't remember anything like that when I was going through the sprites though.

EDIT: Are these them?

[Xenomorph Shuttle]

I imagine it would be easy to code a new gamemode where a shuttle crashes into a random area of the station with xenomorphs. It would be good to see souch a round type - we don't see xenomorphs enough nowadays on the server anyways, even though they are really fun to have around.

My favorite is to bucklecuff them on a chair with a bible under it, then feeding them a lot of chinese food.

Oh. My. God.

So goddamn creative.
