Is this a slimepeople(and one human) gang?

No, the 3D ultra realistic graphics make spessmens better. Seriously though, a cosmetic black screen to me would be cool. Imagine undergoing surgery then waking up in maint cuffed to a chair with duct tape covering your mouth while 3 guys in bacaclavas get ready to murder you? That’s fucking neat to me, but I guess other people don’t like it. ??

Ghosts using meta =/= sleeping and using meta. With sleeping, there IS a solution since there's really no need to know what's going on, ergo SLEEPING. Ghosts need to see because since they're dead it's the most entertaining thing. I'm not saying that you should "fix" every single thing people could abuse, I'm saying there's ONE certain thing that would be better off a certain way, and this is just a supporting point. side note: kidnapping would be way more fun if you couldn't see anything. even being the kidnapee!

But the fact it's even there is kind of counter-intuitive, when there's an easy solution to it.

It's just my opinion, but to ME, unless you're bored you wouldn't go out of your way to roleplay a disability that IC, mechanically and OOC wise cripple you.

I do believe we've gone a little off topic. If players want to be blind, I guess this would make sense, but sleeping should not let you see anything. Period. Closing my eyes and then praying I open it at the same time I wake up isn't really gonna cut it. You have a point, but on my part that was a bad analogy. What I meant was being asleep should cover the whole screen since you can't smell, touch(you do but you can't actually process it while sleeping unless it's bad pain), sight, hear (slightly), and taste. And it's a very powerful tool for metagamers, and adding a cosmetic black screen wouldn't do much harm.

If you were blind IRL, imagine trying to use a microwave... Or even better, try navigating a computer. Do both with your eyes closed and tell me how it goes.

Closing my eyes? There's a REASON why I'm playing a 2d pixel game which it's complexity goes over even pistol aim! Begone heretic. But seriously, disabilities are disabilities for a reason. If someone's bored enough to try being mute/blind, they wouldn't get permission to say "hey" and "bye" when mute, so why would they get a little sight for navigating the station when blind? Doesn't make sense.

Not really. It would be better if occasionally, it blinked a view of what was going on. It would be way better. I remember the first time I went into cyro into Bay and was genuinely scared at the fact that I didn't know what was going on. Being bored, well.. You can't not be bored during surgery. It's fun or whatever for the other person, but for ME as the person undergoing it? It would be better if the screen was just black.

This too. Red uniform + jackboots + prayer they haven't been cloned and thralled.

No, BECAUSE of the sight I was granted, I was able to not get absorbed because I saw two patrol buddies walking over and talking to the guy. I shouldn't have even known security was coming over, and if I was a metagamer if I hovered over the guy's sprite with my mouse, once I regained consciousness I could've screamed "[SO AND SO] IS A CHANGELING!!!" That's what I mean, sorry.

Like Baystation, the ENTIRE screen should be covered with black so you don't know HOW you got in maint, stripped naked and left with a note saying "Shouldn't have fucking taken my insulated gloves you rotten piece of shit." Because with the little hole, a good mouse placing and knowledge of the map, along with your inventory being visible, it makes it super easy to determine where you're going and why you're going. I saw someone who was trying to kidnap me and absorb me but didn't because security was walking around BECAUSE of the little hole.

Hello, PhantasmicDream! I will go over your comments of my criticism and try to help you with the "other things" segment. DISCLAIMER: I am not a God sent artist and my scribbles are comparable to peppa pig. Refrenced drawings These drawings look like something an actual human would do although they're all extremely sexual.. lewd.. AND it's not so similar to the reference that it looks like you traced over it and slapped a character's face on it. I recommend doing this more often as it will help you draw naturally without references and let you become a God that can draw humans in under 30 seconds without breaking a sweat become more proficient in drawing humans without the help of a reference. Modeled drawings Surprise surprise! They look good, maybe even better than the ones you didn't use a model for. Of course, there will be times that you can't find a model in the pose you want, but with the above combined with your modeled drawings, you'll be even MORE good at drawing humans then you are at being a human!(?) Poses It may be something that you tend to do often, but in the several moving of countries, schools, cities, etc I've GENUINELY (or at least can't remember) seeing someone do a pose like holding your chest up to your chest. To me, it kind of looks stiff and wonky, like a really bad ironic anime show. Since you differ from your characters, it may be wise to "observe the people in their natural habitat". However I'm sure you're mature enough not to stare at them for too long. Once they look in your general direction they'll be wondering why the fuck somebody was just staring at them for the last 10 minutes. Rushed Now, if you think it's fine, it IS your artwork. But I believe that "messy" artpieces should be reserved for when you want the observer to feel scared/creeped out. If you search up most horror related art pieces, you'll see they encoporate this style. With the two vulp dancing in your references, the lines were smooth and it was more appealing than your "rushed" usual artstyle. Jonah Oh, I thought it was an accident on your part. Thank you for clearing this up! Other thangs. Try looking up criminal mugshots. There are a LOT and it'll help you get used to side profiles. Hands are only "difficult to draw" because of the negative stigma around them. It would be best just searching it up since there DOCUMENTARIES on this. Pro tip - draw a circles. Then base your eyes off that circle. The rest, I don't know how to help you with. I hope to see you grow in the future!

"It was a dark day when Domitia arrived on station. The lizard cliques kept growing and growing! It was a xenophobe's nightmare.."

Christ. I know it's all a game but it sounds so real. I think I'm going to write these stories IC instead of OOC now.

I did see a SST operative with a durand, was that you?

Captain is robust? Rare. Albeit it's with a mech..

Alright, this is a round that JUST occured. A bit of context - Zebhiki is infamous/famous as a mechanic for always breaking into the Syndicate Depot, and blowing it up or looting it to no end. It's horribly difficult but they just stride in like it's nothing. I'm a cargo tech, a bit late to the shift. Usual. I spew my xenophobe shit at my quartermaster who tells the HoP they didn't close the cargo tech slot and they have all these useless cargo techs IMMEDIATELY when I walk in cargo. Usual. We have to collect fish for some reason and a drask CC officer tells us via announcements to get to it. I tell him via comms that if he likes fish so much he should check out wetskrell.nt. I got BSA'd. So I get revived and head back to the delivery office, when a syndicate announcement blares on comms. "lol kill zabawaka XD hurt our depot ? now we hurt u ? ??" So I think nothing of it, maybe they send in a SIT or SST, doesn't really matter. Until I get the message "You are the traitor" immediately afterwards. I know I'm fucked now. They tell me the location of Zebhiki and low and behold, when I arrive in the operating room he's in, there's two security guards watching him. The doctor, Ophelia Mason (lovely doctor btw), once finished with Zebhiki tells him to make a dash for it, letting him go to the surgery storage room. I figure I'll have a better chance later, so I go back to my Delivery office. I think the QM came and we gave each other code words? Not really sure. I tell whoever it was that I'll bomb the mech's office and right as I said that somebody passed by in the hallway. I figured they reported me, and my suspicions came true when I got searched, AND arrested JUST to be searched in security again. I was let go since I didn't have the bomb yet and used the grace period to get into scichem to make a potassium water bomb. Headed to the mech's office and broke my way in, and threw the bomb next to his teleporter. CE was on his way to engineering and saw me, baton'd me and threw me in a locker. I was fucking lucky he didn't go to Zebhiki's office otherwise he'd put two and two together. I headed back to cargo and on the way the syndicate made an announcement that they'd send in Bravo. Whatever that was. Probably a SST to be honest. I headed to cargo and found TWO durands wanting to get into the cargo bay. Inside, a bunch of shitbirds vox were screaming about "KINSIES" or some shit like that. They knew me as a xenophobe so one even tased me while the others disarmed me. One agent suicide bombed the place because they were holding Zebhiki there for protection, mechanic ending up dying. The vox who had me handcuffed and tased threw me into the hull damage and so I died. And thus, this was the end of my round. Domitia's round. OOOH BOY REMEMBER THAT FUCKING BRAVO SYNDICATE TEAM? YOU BETTER! Admemes spawned a SST and I clicked yes in a heartbeat. My name is no longer "Domitia Aquila". I have advanced. It's MASTER SERGEANT YESKEY NOW BITCH! We had to steal the captain's yellow documents, and so we got our guns, got in the shuttle and headed to that bitch NSS Cyberaid. Once we got on station, I spread an unusally wholesome code - "DON'T KILL INNOCENTS!" I was.. Ignored. We rushed the bridge but one officer with a riot shield managed to best us both, so I set some x-4 at the door, and walked away. I dragged some people to medbay for cloning when a teammate told me he got the folder. I boarded the shuttle so casually, but I tried to rush the "bridge" of the shuttle. Didn't go so well, I got BOTH my guns taken away and was held in cuffs. Didn't matter though, since we ended up getting the folder. I, ended up in the hands of that DICKHEAD nanotrasen, though, so I guess I really WAS unlucky this round..

Hello, PhantasmicDream! Your art is very pleasing to me, so I'd like to give you some constructive criticism on how to improve. With a minority of your characters, their poses seem natural and something an actual human would do. With the majority, just try replicating it and see that it'd be impossible to actually do this without thinking. This was a problem with Chronarch's art, and it is a problem with yours. To bring up an example, you like to draw Zeke clutching his hand into a fist while it's sort of raised, his elbow at an acute angle. The problem with this is, it isn't a natural physical expression. Worried, happy, angry, sad - it's just not a normal thing someone would do. I advise you, like Chronarch, before drawing the art piece, you should try doing the pose you want your character to do or reference a model. The greatest artists in the world did this to a legendary extent, but for your artstyle and skill a quick look at a picture won't do any harm. Your art seems kind of rushed, like a fully coloured sketch. Now, this wouldn't be a problem if it went with the art you're trying to make. For example, your IPC Necromancer fits this very well because of the white, black, and red colour palette(with a greyish background and blue medhud), it gives off a feeling of either authority or uneasyness, which I suppose you were trying to accomplish. But with other arts, like the demon, fallen angel and Cherub(?), it gives off a vibe that you're trying to stick it in as quickly as possible. Jonah? Whenever you draw Jonah, his face is so pointy that it's almost like an entirely different artist drew him compared to the roundness of other characters. If you want him to stick out, then this is a very creative and artistic way to go about it, but it's very obvious you don't want him to, even putting him in the roundstart detective outfit 9/10% of the time. Because of how pointy his face is, he looks malnourished. Now, wouldn't Zeke care if his/her husband/boyfriend stopped eating? Remember, your art is still good! But no one's perfect. I hope to see you improve in the future. Take care!

If you're new to the game, I URGE you to read the starter's guide for the paradise wiki. You'll learn a lot of controls, and after a round or two of using them it'll be engrained in your memory. Also, it's a good idea to read the SoP for the detective because people LOOOVE shitting on security for forgetting SoP for a second. Even your own security mates will hate ya.

I'll take this into major consideration. Thanks, Bogolyubov.

It's the start of a round, and I'm the chaplain! I set my religion to Despakito and my deity to space spain - grab my null rod, change it to that one red chainsaw sword or whatever. OOC gets muted, and before I could spout something like "Come to the chapel and check out the new trendy religion!", that big, red coloured sentence cursed my entire round. "You are the traitor." So. My objectives were to steal an unused slime extract.. Easy enough.. Steal the CE's mag boots? Difficult, not impossible. Escape alive and free? This was going to be EASY greentext. First things first, I needed to buy a holoparasite. I headed into a locker in chapel maint, and got my holoparasite. Planned on cremating it, so I injected myself and put the box inside mybag. A paramedic came and awkwardly stood there, and I think he saw my holoparasite injector inhand since I couldn't put it in my bag quick enough. Thankfully, he walked off with no reports on the comms. Turns out, I wasn't very proficient at cremating. My holoparasite (Titanium Orchid) had to teach me how to do it, and from that moment on I knew we'd be best friends. Also, my collaborator was a vox named Chayakriti or something along those lines - I asked something very simple of her, "If I get caught, I'll say the code words on comms so you can save me from perma." She agreed. I headed back to the chapel maint to make sure I didn't leave any evidence, when someone by the name of U.S.S.R strolled along. My holoparasite urged me to tell him the code words, so I did. Me and him said the codewords at the same time, so we both knew we were cool. I leaned in and whispered that Chayakriti, the roboticist, was on our side. I told him my objectives, and he said he could try to snag the magboots for me. We shared a nod and parted ways. Later, while I sat in the chapel, my holoparasite suggested a plan. We go to scimaint all the way to xenobiology and ask for an unused slime extract "for a ritual". Sounds good. I headed to scimaint, to xenobiology, where I sat with a "cat girl", where we waited for someone to open the xenobiology door. His name was Gavin, and again, my holoparasite urged me to say the codewords. I did, and at first he seemed oblivious to it but within maybe 10 seconds he caught on. He said "Oh, right, codewords! Peace test pride, yeah yeah, whatever." I told him that U.S.S.R and Chayakriti were friends, and eventually the RD came around. She asked why we wanted in and I said I needed a slime extract for a ritual. She was being annoying, saying that we had to wait for a xenobiologist to come, but amazingly, a xenobiologist walked through and we quickly followed. He gave me a yellow slime extract which I stuck in my internals box (no one ever looks there), and Gavin.. Did something. I didn't see to be honest. Once I left, I sat in the chapel some more when U.S.S.R PDA'd me about him mindslaving a vox. Cool! Later on, when I took a stroll out the chapel, I saw him implanting a roboticist and knew it was probably another mindslave. Now all of robotics and a vox, including a holoparasite, were now an unstoppable team. The shift dragged on, and comms was screaming about Asrair having a holoparasite. None of my business, so I went to robotics where our CREW (some at least) were hanging out. Chayakriti tried to kill E-N with a fucking chainsaw. And everyone who passed by robotics didn't care. Even a security guard came to the desk and they didn't give a shit. I strolled in and asked if he had the magboots, he replied with a sad no. But this gave me an idea. Here's how theoretically it'd go down. I ask the CE to a duel. If he says yes, I say that "no machinery is allowed" and I throw away my PDA and headset, urging him to do the same. We battle in the holodeck where instead of an actual honourable fight, me and my holoparasite beat him to death and stuff his body in some locker in maint. ??? Steal his magboots and ID. However, when me and U.S.S.R got to engineering to look for him, he declined. He called security but instead of harmbatoning hungry maniacs the NT rep Emily-7 came. She told me to get out, but luckily my chapel blew up a little prior to her coming in. So I used it as an excuse to stay here to "complain" because the CE let it happen(lol). She got tired of it and left, and U.S.S.R came to my side. We devised a plan. Here's what was supposed to happen. We get the mindslaved vox with a chainsaw, U.S.S.R armed with some sort of weapon, my holy chainsaw sword, and the holoparasite all together. We get soap. Slip CE. Beat into crit as a collective before he can even utter a word on comms. Space the body in the airlock leading to the engine. ??? Steal magboots, PDA and ID. For the most part, it worked! We killed him in less than 15 seconds and I stuffed the magboots in my bag! I asked the vox to space the body, but he didn't listen and left. I didn't have access and gave the vox the CE's ID. I didn't think anyone would visit engineering's secure storage nor engine's airlock, so I left it. God I was so wrong. The shuttle was coincidentally called BECAUSE of Asrair's shenanigans, so we all huddled over at the waiting room for the shuttle. I heard outcry like "recall the shuttle!" and after 3 minutes, the Captain caved in. I thought nothing of it, until I heard these horrible words on comms. [Common][NT rep]Emily-7:"Blueshield, go check engineering." FUCK. I told U.S.S.R, since he had access to engineering to go try and space the body. He argued a bit but he submitted. I didn't hear from him again. So it was me and Gavin sitting on those chairs. I got continously more and more anxious, until I decided to fuck it and head to a pod with Gavin. My holoparasite said to ask if he had a holoparasite, so I did and he said yes. THIS IS IMPORTANT. We headed to the pod, and our holoparasites had a conversation we couldn't understand. The crew transfer vote activated and, like usual, everyone said yes. So we were in that pod for 3 minutes until the door opened. It was a security officer. He tased me and immediately I knew why. The CE must've been cloned. Gavin and I summoned our holoparasites but the officer killed me quickly, and Gavin's holoparasite failed him too, him getting clawed while on the floor to death. The shuttle flied off while I was in the brigbay, where I saw Asrair's body whilst in the after life. Only 2 more minutes and I would've been let off scot-free. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Hi, Chronarch. I like your style of drawing so I want to give you a bit of criticism so you can improve with your art. Refrence a human body Now, I understand near all of your characters are IPCs, but according to the sprites, they aren't that far away from a human in terms of body types(unlike vox or dionae), so it's good to have the image of a model posing in/similar to the way that you want your character posing. But don't get TOO good, because then you'll just be drawing humans with TV heads (good for synths tho). Remember that IPCs are robots, and even now robots aren't thicc. Besides maybe synths. If you're drawing a TV head, I reccomend making them a bit blocky(e.g the thighs curve in at the opposite side of the knee, make it look like a polygon instead) Understand what the human body is capable of doing This'll be easy, but I had to put this in because of your "Good night" artwork. Your wife's arms are supposed to hold onto you but it looks like either she's wrapping her arm around your arm like an anaconda choking their pray or she has really loose hands. Like said above, to make your art look natural, it's best to refrence a model so your character doesn't end up twisting his arm to give a thumbs up. Understand the human tendencies/norm An example of this would be how people draw dead people's fingers. Flat on the floor(or whatever surface), but you'll realize if you leave your hands like that on a table(flat), your fingers will start to curl up. IPCs probably have an endo-skeleton, so this counts for them as well. Best way to recreate this is just to be hyper aware when your walking around, doing a skit that involves movement, etc. Notes IPCs have hands. That's what makes them better more robust than cyborgs. In your "Good Night" artwork, one out of your million IPCs had a claw for a hand(of course, if the cyborgs have stubs at the top of their arms then this is null) IPCs would not mourn the loss over each other as unless the body is missing, they can always repair them. IPCs are manmade. The feelings they feel are simulated, and their actions nor their decisions will be effected by a "sad" feeling or a "happy" reason. Love the art, hope to see it more in the future!

I didn’t actually mean it, it was supposed to be a joke. Aspiring comedian here ? Well, first, I need to clarify something. I thought it would be like the survivor in CM, where the game whips up some randomly generated story and tells it to you via the chat when the round starts. And, it would be in your notes(memories) so you could check them at any time. OP said some convicts would be previous agents and would be ranked higher for the kill objective as they don’t want any loose ends. Some people would take this as a bootleg antag token of sorts. Like an antag ticket. But you’re not really an antag. But the possible crimes you posted are good ideas. I would like to keep the convict down to any other mid round perma prisoner, only difference is that (unless they’re actually a traitor) won’t be associated with EoCs and are probably in perma for an accidental plasma leaking which some doofus on security who didn’t read space law deemed it grand sabotage. And they aren’t allowed to be more....physical when escaping, because (granted most of the time admins will know that convict1 took it too far but) admins aren’t Gods. They don’t know what is EXACTLY right or wrong in every situation, so they have to rely on their opinion. Which gets them shitted on in either ban appeals or admin complaints. So, as said in another post, one admin may think the madman must be locked in a real jail for crippling the warden who came to check on them to the point where they just started speaking Chinese instead of en-.. Galatic common and one may think nothing was wrong with it. also according to SoP just kill yourself once and they have to clone you - go back to perma without a fuss but do it again and assuming there’s enough biomass and nobody’s currently being cloned, you’ll get cloned automatically. EZ escape

My point was that because of the lenience on whether you could, say, kill that AFK warden coming to check on you and hold the station hostage while you arm up on the Armoury or not leads to confusion. “Is this too far” would be a question players ask when PM’d by admins on their antaggy behavior. There is no clear answer. One may think it’s ridiculous and the other may think nothing was wrong /because/ of the leeway given on a Convict’s antaggy behavior. But Convicts - who DO have IC justification will beg to differ, as most (if not all) would believe that they’re special BECAUSE they have IC justification.
