Meta knowledge is bad for determining what kind of round it is. This also goes for agents, cults and shadowling.

Saying things like "There can't be syndicates, we have cultists!" is a great way to get an agent spawned with you as a target.

Thing is,I used to go off red alert but....red alert allows us to get night shift off....

I like the night shift as it adds to the roleplay

Yes, congratulations.

Be aware of race abilities and weaknesses:

 

Instant - kill. 

Diona: Weedkiller pretty much instantly kills Diona. (This is also why Diona sec is vulnerable because of the free weed-killer in perma)

IPC take 50% more burn and brute damage and can be instant killed with EMP. EMP is almost always worth getting as a tator/changeling because of this. 

 

Mild

Vulps hate being flashed, it can blind them. 

Vox take 20% more brute damage. Vox can also be killed with EMP. 

Grey can be hurt mildly with water. 

Drask and Tajara are hurt more by heat. 

Unathi are vulnerable to cold.

Skrell can't handle alcohol well.

Isn't this also a thing with Diona?

I dislike it because i find that it makes it harder for me to see things.

[Spacemanspark]

That's part of the mystery.

Wayyy more than mildly. A fire extinguisher can quickly kill them.

You can rig a light to explode when it is turned on by injecting it with plasma.

Do you mean an actual explosion, or just the light popping?

[necaladun]

Actual. Also power cells can be injected with plasma. Remove one from a stunbaton, drop it, wait for greytide to pick it up....

[davidchan]

Also works for Borgs and hilarious way to kill a CE is ripping apart a SMES or APC and leaving the sabatoged cells nearby.

booby trapped lights can cause some hilarity as ghost haunting can trigger the boom, though most lights aren't near switches so it's difficult to lure a target that way. The more plasma the bigger the boom.

clown shoes can be washed with crayons to make them look normal, but they still squeak. Steal someone's shoes and leave the duds around for them to grab instead.

Make Stunprod but inject plasma dust into the cell battery with syringe.

Stun somebody. Or let someone use it to stun someone else.

As a grey player, i have learned to fear the mighty fire extinguisher. It most certainly one shots greys if you focus the spray.

Some departments have an EFTPOS scanner that extracts credits from IDs. This is never used because everyone expects things to be free for them, the self entitled greytiders.

It's too much of a hassle to use it.

[Irkalla]

When Antag: Infuse powercells with plasma and swap the cell of a baton with it. Throw the inactive baton at sec. Sec of course turns the baton on. Depending on charge they get severly hurt or gibbed. Never turn on a rigged baton. Same thing works with lightbulbs. Secerly underused. Impractical. But pretty neat to pull off.

[Alliostra]

you can put boxes into printed out shipping boxes if you wrap them beforehand.

[Alliostra]

Kidan take high tox damage from pest spray.

I wonder why this isnt on their wiki page...

Dabbing is terrible and makes you 10 times less robust.
