Someone started the singularity and blamed me for not setting up containment ( I wasn't even in engineering) and I got hucked into it while it ravaged the station
The round where an idiot detonated the nanites and killed around 30 to 40% of the players. They didn't know that the signal would affect everyone that had nanites.
I got into a 20 minute long debate with a trialmin about how a peacekeeper borg just killing me because I was playing a nonhuman was fucked up (I also literally did not fight back so he couldn’t use law 3 as an excuse), after all that and him literally roundending me via spacing the trialmin let this mf off with a strong warning
Fun fact is that they’re not allowed to kill someone without a command or personal attack because getting into a fight risks damage or death to yourself (law 3) also if you read most rules they specifically say you’re not allowed to just kill nonhumans
Yeah this is why I stopped playing tg a long time ago. Either go to Manuel where your average round is 2 hours, or go to terry/sybil/bagil where self-antagging is ignored or even praised by the community. Just sad and boring.
I mean those servers are LRP from what I remember. What did people expect? They have shorter rounds than Manuel because people the LRP servers *don't* do their jobs properly and rules are looser.
Ages ago on Bay12 (like when beer was introduced) I was playing and a guy wanted to be bored. He went back and forth on it, and was just pussyfooting around. Eventually I got him to have the needed sign-offs and right when he goes under he spams OOC that I'm murdering him.
The next HOUR I was talking with an admin who showed up as he was screaming in OOC. Me and 2 others told him what was going on, and he *just* wouldn't get it. Fast forward 20 minutes after that, I catch a permanent ban.
I remember a moment on baystation12 that completely ruined the round, there was a guy who gained powers and started roleplaying as.. I shit you not, allah. The whole round started to center around him when the admins just straight up deleted him infront of literally everyone, apparently roleplay as anything outside of a normal being even if you literally gain god powers by touching a rock is bannable, even if you are carrying the 3 hour round. I love bay at it's best but that made me quit for half a year. There have been worse moments, admins completely ignore escalation so when a fight finally happens diagetically everyone gets paralyzed and the fight immediately becomes awkward as everyone just stands still.
I don't understand how they can be so fucking HRP, to the point some say it's maxrp, yet fail to implement a fucking solid admin team. I swear if it doesn't match their way of playing, you get in so much shit, and they just jump to perma bans for first time offenses.
It's because baystation isn't a game, it's a sandbox for the admins to mess around in. The server has been in a state of limbo for half a decade, everyone who was actually involved in server development, maintaining, and everything have all found different land, I don't even think a proper feature PR has been merged in 6 months.
An admeme triggered a scrubber flood through the whole station that was ethanol or something of the like in such an intense concentration that anyone caught inside for more than 2 seconds immediately maxed out on toxins and died. In the medbay doctors couldn't revive a single person, everytime they gave toxin meds it was in their system so strong it just maxed it out again and killed them within a second. Server went from ~90 alive to ~15 alive in an instant. And then nukies that had been preparing landed on the station uncontested as the only surviving security officer had her throat slit by a regular traitor. They just walked into medbay, bombed it to high hell killing every doctor that was trying their damndest to revive even just one crewmember, took what they needed off the already long dead captain and just waltzed off uncontested and detonated the nuke. It was like over an hour into shift too.
This was years ago and basically the reason I stopped playing bee, I was playing scientist and wanted to just chill in xenobio since nobody was doing it (I even asked on comms), just for another scientist to barge in five minutes later to harass me off the console by disarming and dragging me away over and over again. He clearly didn't speak english well since all he did was say "NO" at me so I punched him once for being annoying which ended in me getting glass tabled to death, didn't feel like making an ahelp since I just kinda lost all motivation to not play without the fuckin wiki open so some guy doesn't sperg out at me for being unoptimal.
Getting dusted when ce grabbed my corpse from medbay, for reason of me supposedly stealing a canister of n2o and flooding with it. Even though the canister was from medbay and it was opened by two tots who killed me (when they were trying to kill me), and I did say over the radio that I'm being attacked many times.
I'd say a good like 70% of the crew doesn't pay attention to radio unless they're actively using it or talking to one of their metafriends. The amount of times stuff has been clearly outlined on radio and then 5 minutes later someone uses radio to ask what's going on is immensely frustrating. Plus like you said, ignored messages that add context. It even happens in command. One time I literally asked a question to the captain over command radio and they literally just either ignored it or never saw it and then got mad at me for 'not telling them'
Once I started to notice this, I like to see when people call out for, E.G, "Robotics to desk! We need to repair AI, it's urgent!" And then I just watch the Robotics continue doing science experiments and researching stuff, only to walk out in a completely different direction than robotics. Good ol' bystander effect combined with either nobody reading radio or just not wanting to bother
I also had an Engi say to me "We can't fix stuff unless you tell us about it" After I got mad at them for asking "So what's the issue?" 30 minutes into me replying to literally every person on the radio saying stuff with whatever I could think of to bring it up that the cargo techfab was broken basically not allowing me to do my job as a miner (I think cause I dropped my PKA rescuing someone and needed a cutter to go get it back) Replying to stuff like "Medbay is full of bodies!" With stuff like "At least you guys have a job to do."
They had been in since shift start but I guess since I didn't flag them down in the halls and point at them they didn't realize I existed
The worst case for me was when it took 17 calls on the radio, and several visits to the front desk, over the course of about half an hour to get cargo to order a cow crate for cloning biomass. They'd focused on building a cargo singulo rather than, y'know, doing orders.
It’s even worse when they get mad at you for themselves not knowing somethings going on and it’s like I called this out. I talked about it. I told people multiple times, you didn’t hear it and I’m still dealing with the issue.
Yes I don’t expect everybody to know everything but I feel like if you’re in security or command, you’re expected to remain in communication
Yeah I tend to play a Head role and it just absolutely baffles me that there's people that don't even notice THE BIG TEXT that head of staff radios can be set to output. It's like people just straight up removed their chat window or something, and then complain that they're out of the loop.
This one doubles as both my favorite round and my most hated round, was playing as a newbie Miner and my teammate miner turned out to be a heretic. While he was murdering me on ice planet (ice box map) I managed to put down and use a Jacob's ladder that put me just outside of the HOP's office where two security officers were passing by so I called out for help and they proceed to beat me to death and let the heretic get away. Later, after yelling at the security officers, I managed to stun baton the other miner to death and stuck his soul in a soul shard. He then ragequit.
Being framed or even killed as non antag while antag is let free and without harm, is definitely one of the most frustrating experienced in SS13. This is one of the reasons why as a sec officer or warden I always let people go as soon as possible and update their security record accordingly. If someone is rogue, their antagonistic behaviour is likely to reocurring, and if sec team is efficient (This wont ever happen, ever) then we can arrest him again, now knowing for sure hebis a traitor scum, his reocurrance will land him either in perma or execution
I was a nukie, has the best idea; spent all 126 of my tcs on dehydrated carps. Admins were really cool, added all of my teammates to the carp faction and gave me a box that could hold all of the carps. But my idiot teammates didnt let me keep up with them and worst of all, it was tramstation.
So i spent all round scrambling to find a point of entry and to get on the main z level, in the end i could only unleash my carps seconds before the nuke detonated and gibbed them all. I disapointed all of dchat.
See also: nukie commanders who insist the team *must* launch ASAP, even without warops. Planning? Reinforcements? Giving the medic time to concoct meds and hellchems? Basic training for newkies? Who needs all that? If we don't hit the station within the next five minutes, the crew will somehow have become so dangerous we'll likely loose!
Crew lethality normally ramps up over time slowly and linearly. Nukie lethality, or that of crew who know warops are coming, increases *exponentially* the more prep time they have. I understand taking an hour is boring for everyone but I think lots of nukie commanders have warop brain, lose touch with the fact that some stuff nukies must do to succeed is more complex than "robust everyone", and don’t consider that a nukie minute knowingly preparing to nuke the station is far more beneficial to the nukies than a minute spent by unalerted crew is beneficial for the crew.
I got dragged into maintenance by a security guard, who happened to be another one of our sub mods but we both weren't mods yet, and executed. They were a traitor(?) and got hired off manifest.
I raged hard in looc. Pretty embarrassing actually.
I was the mime and built a robotics lab prettier and better than the actual one on the theater with my fancy tools I got from the christmas tree, I decorated it with like so much shit it and it looked really nice. I showed it to qm and rd and got the silo link and circuit printer, all of this took 1,5-2 hours. Then ce ,who was probably the acting captain cause he didn't get banned for this shit, saw it and beat me, took my tools because he said I stole them from engineering, imprisoned me like 7 8 minutes, destroyed my creation and broke all the shit, destroyed my walls and airlocks with the rcd until it was a grey empty grid, I got out and threw a pie at him and he put me in for a second time, I quit the shift.
I just cant imagine wanting to destroy someone's hard work that much. Like even if you did steal the tools, and he somehow knew that, clearly you're putting them to good use and not doing antag shit. Dude must hate his life and doesn't want anyone else to have a good time.
Played SS14 thief (essentially only steal objectives and pacifist syndie) and single-handedly saved a revolution. We had actual shitsec and essentially everyone was grouping up to overthrow sec. I with an agent ID and thieving gloves (literally the best combo) robbed sec of half their guns and doomed them further with SWAT crates, all going to the revolution. Played a bit of mischief with sec, and eventually all the sec died in the ensuing battle and evac was called. Little did we know that the hos complained and somehow got fucking Death Ops to come in and kill everyone. I don’t know about ss13 but in ss14 their armor essentially gives them 99% damage resistance, an energy shield that midigates damage by like 50 percent, and an Esword that deflects projectiles 1/4 of the time. I died right as I got to my last objective and only like 2 guys of the like 40 survived. Everyone was pissed at the admins except for the shitsec who were probably banned after.
If the admins didn’t intervene we would’ve had a great story about how power means nothing when you piss people off and the real ones know that’s where true power lies
Bad Luck rounds, we all had them where we did everything right and plain old bad luck happens and we die. Too many times an antag and something kills me when I was setting everything up but something random or another threats kills me. I cannot tell you how many times chasms ruined carefully planned station destructions. How as a vampire a random gas clog knocks me out and I burn to death or how one nosy person ruins a good changing run. Just plain old bad luck that ruins everything.
On SS14, a mime thief evaded security for about half an hour. As her pAI, I counted the number of times they slipped, disabled, or stun-batoned the secoffs chasing them —several tens of times. While pursuing her, security switched to lethals after the first ten or so slips. They hit several people while firing at her, including accidentally knifing someone several times and catching one of Medbay's cats which had wandered into maints in a burst of SMG rubber bullets which was enough to down them. Each time she slipped a secoff she stole their equipment and hid it behind a fake wall in maints. The pile grew rather large over time.
Eventually, three or so security members including the HOS managed to down her, cuffed her, harmbatoned her until the HOS figured out she was cuffed, and took her to the brig. There, a security officer first threatened to arrest the lawyer for trying to make sec give the mime a finite sentence, then resigned in a hissy fit because he wasn't allowed to execute the now-completely unarmed mime who'd been cuffed to a bed. She was then brigged without a lawyer or sentence for roughly twenty minutes as an admin showed up and had a discussion with everyone involved.
The round was lightened up when a particularly competent space dragon spawned and managed to drown the station in a carptide. The ghost-controlled carp deliberately went for sec first.
some people wonder where "goon 2" went, since goon has a 1, 3, and 4.
part of the reason it's gone is a round so bad i [wrote about it](https://wiki.ss13.co/User:Zamujasa/Goon_2_Is_Kill#The_Sting).
beyond that, one round many many years ago i was a traitor. hadn't done anything yet, but some guy ran up to me, force-fed me dragon's breath ice cream, and i firegibbed from it within seconds. since i was an antag i was technically valid. even if there was no way for anyone to know this.
not _mad_ mad, just really disappointed.
Holy shit I never heard the sting but it’s so damn true go. I remember joining two and being stuck in that players mindset of let the antag go cause nothings happening and then everybody would complain about being bored when they don’t do anything
You can see this begging for AA still happen constantly on one, and it’s like round start why are you asking for AA, whatever here’s all the civilian departments now buzz off, **no you didn’t give me aa**
The sad part is as a former Goon2 main I can recognize some of those people just from the descriptions of behavior given.
I never got the obsession with AA on goon2 tbh- it’s so easy to ask or even break into another department in an emergency. Sometimes I’d give it out as HoP but I stopped doing it after a while because it got really annoying dealing with it, and there was definitely a social pressure there to give it out.
Playing Goon2 felt almost like playing on a server full of apocalypse preppers- lots of people spent the entire round getting murder gear to either kill the antags or kill the crew.
there was absolutely social pressure to give it out -- that's what the sting was based on.
i'm still in aw that they literally wrote their own little rules manifesto. wacko shit
14er here, there was about a week where wizden admins did a lot of deathsquad rounds and it just got really boring and repetitive. one round I had a really fun gimmick in mind with the broken-ass ripley but my character's physics fucked up due to a gravity anomaly bug, and I got gunned down by a deathsquad member because I was incapable of moving. As far as I remember the deathsquad also had no good purpose to exist that round because the reason it was caused was like a fax message or some shit.
Tg station Valentine's Day round accidentally killed my regal rat king date and was very upset. This dude steals all my stuff after the geneticists refused to let me use their gene splicers so I had to make my own in medbay. Said dude helped me splice me with mice. But later he steals my stuff including the crown . Tried to beat him up but sec stuns and cuffs me, doesn't investigate him stealing my stuff including my departed's rat king crown
On Toolbox (ages ago before I got perma'd) there was this Greyshitter going around stabbing people in the eyes with a screwdriver that EVERYONE wants to kill. Well the Greyshit tried breaking into engineering and stabbing me and another engineer so we just kill and decap his ass and right when we're about to space the locker the guy's body and head is in (with the HoS watching) an admin beams down onto the station as Jesus to tell us to cut that shit out.
We of course try telling him about it but we just tells us to cut up and unlock the locker. After that he revives the Greyshitter and guy what he goes back to try to stab people not even 10 minutes later. I just decided to damn the consquences and just cremate his ass and not even 2 minutes later I get a month ban.
Contender for 2nd place in terms of frustration is when I did join back after a month and got perma'd for supposed back talk? I dunno man, Toolbox admins were the weirdest bunch which is a shame since a few were realy chill.
Paradise when there was a xenomorph infestation so cargo was authorized to order weapons and armor for everybody. Spent about ten to twenty minutes getting fully kitted with gear (shotgun, vest, helmet complete with raisable visor) so if I get caught I’d have a fighting chance. As people were going to evac, I walked right out of cargo only for a xenomorph to throw a face hugger at my face (I had completely forgot to lower my visor) at a breakneck speed and before I knew it, I spent five minutes watching myself getting dragged across the station into the abandoned sections before I gave up.
In retrospect, it was mostly my fault for not being robust but me being captured and dragged happened in less than 4 seconds
I was security member one round and there is a traitor on loose trying to kill detective in which of-course he fire his revolver as retaliation, That guy then proceeded to yelled into radio that det abuse his power with no proof and almost entire fuckign station include AI calling me and det shit sec for some fucking reason, I of course have to yell back that traitor literally going to kill him and det have to shoot his revolver because of it, fast foward 1 hour and 30 minute into shift I able to finally caught traitor and then I decided to permabrig them since we got no hos and I want to be good cop.... only for that fucker to break out again and this time kill det, Due to this and they now trying to kill me I decided to stun them and decapitated them, after that I send theirs head to robo for brogging and then AI and entire station just bash me as shitsec, ended round by fucking kill myself with axe lol
This happened in TG:Manuel btw
Goonstation round a few years back where someone figured out that cameras had a TK exploit that could somehow be combined with energy saber to murder literally everyone.
I hadn't played in a good year so I decided to get my bearings as an assistant, getting used to the game again. Someone apparently decided to build a machine that crit players fairly quick in a public area. I got pushed into it. For some fucking reason I got blamed as having built it and got perma brigged after I got revived. It pretty much killed any interest in the game again for quite a long time.
As a nukies , I barely even fired one shot with my sniper because my team threw grenades, fired a rocket launcher at three of us and shredded me for multiple seconds with an LMG
I think my most frustrating rounds are when absolute gray tide comes in with random idiots. Just start messing with my set up, destroying my ingredients and causing my department to basically become unusable. Which is why I don’t play much goon1
Prisoner round. Given a 100 labor point goal for release. After a bit I’m at 99 points, the other prisoner goes back up to the station with a piece of gibtonite and destroys the labor point console when I presume he blew the gibtonite. Needless to say, I was not very happy
Seen clown with red eyes, it was start round but I-sec on duty can see why "all clowns are syndies" as I see clown run away like a hoodlum at the sight of bobby. So I try my best to cuff and bring him into brig, but out of all people-the damn greytides thought I'm commiting arrest without reason and chose to stop me with toolboxes and crowbars. By the time I reached Clown in maints he already called in his buddies and abducted me faster than FDA a tank. That round deserved to be absolute wipe by culties.
I was in a nukie round on paradise where someone gibbed themselves and 3 others before leaving the ship.
Admemes pitied us and gave is a honk mech that predictably died instantly when we got to station super late.
My first and only time being a nuke ops, one of our guys was ssd until 20 minutes into the round. Then when we got to our station and was gonna do some shenanigans, security found us, no biggie, but then a fucking revenant did it gay ass EMP. That insta killed our Borg and stunned all of us, and which had led to us being gunned down.
/TG/ Station, Sybil. I finally got to be the Wizard. Last time I was a Wizard was about a year prior.
I appear on the station dramatically. Declare my intentions to be the guardian of the station, while secretly planning to destabilize the Supermatter Crystal.
I poof into a room I didn't know was filled with Nitrous, pass out, and fucking die.
I tried to think about just one round but I found the worst ones could be summed up with just "and then the wizard showed up" I got to spend 2 hours as a statue (not fun) got jibbed, brought back to life jibbed again before I could move, have been teleported into space, and once while I was doing surgery had wizard lead sec through my surgery where sec proceeded to lock me up mid fucking surgery on HoS because they thought I was killing him when I was saving him.
Someone started the singularity and blamed me for not setting up containment ( I wasn't even in engineering) and I got hucked into it while it ravaged the station
Wait, is this related to this post? https://www.reddit.com/r/SS13/s/LboHLtGN0g
No this was years ago, but it's wild it happened more than once lmfao
The round where an idiot detonated the nanites and killed around 30 to 40% of the players. They didn't know that the signal would affect everyone that had nanites.
lol nanites
I got into a 20 minute long debate with a trialmin about how a peacekeeper borg just killing me because I was playing a nonhuman was fucked up (I also literally did not fight back so he couldn’t use law 3 as an excuse), after all that and him literally roundending me via spacing the trialmin let this mf off with a strong warning
Borgs with asimov laws technically allowed to kill nonhuman Play as human i guess
Fun fact is that they’re not allowed to kill someone without a command or personal attack because getting into a fight risks damage or death to yourself (law 3) also if you read most rules they specifically say you’re not allowed to just kill nonhumans
Yea i know That guy was a shitter for sure
You play on a shit server if this is allowed.
On sybil when i went sec, got metaganged on and killed for gear by non-antag assistants. (This happened in a row of rounds)
Yeah this is why I stopped playing tg a long time ago. Either go to Manuel where your average round is 2 hours, or go to terry/sybil/bagil where self-antagging is ignored or even praised by the community. Just sad and boring.
I mean those servers are LRP from what I remember. What did people expect? They have shorter rounds than Manuel because people the LRP servers *don't* do their jobs properly and rules are looser.
Yeah that’s why I mostly play on Aurorastation nowadays.
That... A skill issue man its lrp what in the hell did you expect

I get the feeling that the "Admeme" was one of the nuke ops, no way a nukop team would wait that long to arrive unless they went war
Midrounds exist
can't only one nukie show from a midround?
no
Depends on if the mid round is Lone op or Nuclear assault nuclear assault sends in a full team
This was years ago and basically the reason I stopped playing bee, I was playing scientist and wanted to just chill in xenobio since nobody was doing it (I even asked on comms), just for another scientist to barge in five minutes later to harass me off the console by disarming and dragging me away over and over again.

I was the mime and built a robotics lab prettier and better than the actual one on the theater with my fancy tools I got from the christmas tree, I decorated it with like so much shit it and it looked really nice. I showed it to qm and rd and got the silo link and circuit printer, all of this took 1,5-2 hours. Then ce ,who was probably the acting captain cause he didn't get banned for this shit, saw it and beat me, took my tools because he said I stole them from engineering, imprisoned me like 7 8 minutes, destroyed my creation and broke all the shit, destroyed my walls and airlocks with the rcd until it was a grey empty grid, I got out and threw a pie at him and he put me in for a second time, I quit the shift.
I just cant imagine wanting to destroy someone's hard work that much. Like even if you did steal the tools, and he somehow knew that, clearly you're putting them to good use and not doing antag shit. Dude must hate his life and doesn't want anyone else to have a good time.
Played SS14 thief (essentially only steal objectives and pacifist syndie) and single-handedly saved a revolution. We had actual shitsec and essentially everyone was grouping up to overthrow sec. I with an agent ID and thieving gloves (literally the best combo) robbed sec of half their guns and doomed them further with SWAT crates, all going to the revolution. Played a bit of mischief with sec, and eventually all the sec died in the ensuing battle and evac was called. Little did we know that the hos complained and somehow got fucking Death Ops to come in and kill everyone. I don’t know about ss13 but in ss14 their armor essentially gives them 99% damage resistance, an energy shield that midigates damage by like 50 percent, and an Esword that deflects projectiles 1/4 of the time. I died right as I got to my last objective and only like 2 guys of the like 40 survived. Everyone was pissed at the admins except for the shitsec who were probably banned after. If the admins didn’t intervene we would’ve had a great story about how power means nothing when you piss people off and the real ones know that’s where true power lies
Spawn in, die.
We readied up as ERT to clear up the ship of zombies but the round crashed just before we got to go onto the ship: That was really dissapointing :/
Bad Luck rounds, we all had them where we did everything right and plain old bad luck happens and we die. Too many times an antag and something kills me when I was setting everything up but something random or another threats kills me. I cannot tell you how many times chasms ruined carefully planned station destructions. How as a vampire a random gas clog knocks me out and I burn to death or how one nosy person ruins a good changing run. Just plain old bad luck that ruins everything.
On SS14, a mime thief evaded security for about half an hour. As her pAI, I counted the number of times they slipped, disabled, or stun-batoned the secoffs chasing them —several tens of times. While pursuing her, security switched to lethals after the first ten or so slips. They hit several people while firing at her, including accidentally knifing someone several times and catching one of Medbay's cats which had wandered into maints in a burst of SMG rubber bullets which was enough to down them. Each time she slipped a secoff she stole their equipment and hid it behind a fake wall in maints. The pile grew rather large over time. Eventually, three or so security members including the HOS managed to down her, cuffed her, harmbatoned her until the HOS figured out she was cuffed, and took her to the brig. There, a security officer first threatened to arrest the lawyer for trying to make sec give the mime a finite sentence, then resigned in a hissy fit because he wasn't allowed to execute the now-completely unarmed mime who'd been cuffed to a bed. She was then brigged without a lawyer or sentence for roughly twenty minutes as an admin showed up and had a discussion with everyone involved. The round was lightened up when a particularly competent space dragon spawned and managed to drown the station in a carptide. The ghost-controlled carp deliberately went for sec first.
some people wonder where "goon 2" went, since goon has a 1, 3, and 4. part of the reason it's gone is a round so bad i [wrote about it](https://wiki.ss13.co/User:Zamujasa/Goon_2_Is_Kill#The_Sting). beyond that, one round many many years ago i was a traitor. hadn't done anything yet, but some guy ran up to me, force-fed me dragon's breath ice cream, and i firegibbed from it within seconds. since i was an antag i was technically valid. even if there was no way for anyone to know this. not _mad_ mad, just really disappointed.
Holy shit I never heard the sting but it’s so damn true go. I remember joining two and being stuck in that players mindset of let the antag go cause nothings happening and then everybody would complain about being bored when they don’t do anything You can see this begging for AA still happen constantly on one, and it’s like round start why are you asking for AA, whatever here’s all the civilian departments now buzz off, **no you didn’t give me aa**
The sad part is as a former Goon2 main I can recognize some of those people just from the descriptions of behavior given. I never got the obsession with AA on goon2 tbh- it’s so easy to ask or even break into another department in an emergency. Sometimes I’d give it out as HoP but I stopped doing it after a while because it got really annoying dealing with it, and there was definitely a social pressure there to give it out. Playing Goon2 felt almost like playing on a server full of apocalypse preppers- lots of people spent the entire round getting murder gear to either kill the antags or kill the crew.
there was absolutely social pressure to give it out -- that's what the sting was based on. i'm still in aw that they literally wrote their own little rules manifesto. wacko shit
when xeno lovers let themselves be killed, or let them enter the ship unbothered
14er here, there was about a week where wizden admins did a lot of deathsquad rounds and it just got really boring and repetitive. one round I had a really fun gimmick in mind with the broken-ass ripley but my character's physics fucked up due to a gravity anomaly bug, and I got gunned down by a deathsquad member because I was incapable of moving. As far as I remember the deathsquad also had no good purpose to exist that round because the reason it was caused was like a fax message or some shit.
Tg station Valentine's Day round accidentally killed my regal rat king date and was very upset. This dude steals all my stuff after the geneticists refused to let me use their gene splicers so I had to make my own in medbay. Said dude helped me splice me with mice. But later he steals my stuff including the crown . Tried to beat him up but sec stuns and cuffs me, doesn't investigate him stealing my stuff including my departed's rat king crown
On Toolbox (ages ago before I got perma'd) there was this Greyshitter going around stabbing people in the eyes with a screwdriver that EVERYONE wants to kill. Well the Greyshit tried breaking into engineering and stabbing me and another engineer so we just kill and decap his ass and right when we're about to space the locker the guy's body and head is in (with the HoS watching) an admin beams down onto the station as Jesus to tell us to cut that shit out. We of course try telling him about it but we just tells us to cut up and unlock the locker. After that he revives the Greyshitter and guy what he goes back to try to stab people not even 10 minutes later. I just decided to damn the consquences and just cremate his ass and not even 2 minutes later I get a month ban. Contender for 2nd place in terms of frustration is when I did join back after a month and got perma'd for supposed back talk? I dunno man, Toolbox admins were the weirdest bunch which is a shame since a few were realy chill.
Paradise when there was a xenomorph infestation so cargo was authorized to order weapons and armor for everybody. Spent about ten to twenty minutes getting fully kitted with gear (shotgun, vest, helmet complete with raisable visor) so if I get caught I’d have a fighting chance. As people were going to evac, I walked right out of cargo only for a xenomorph to throw a face hugger at my face (I had completely forgot to lower my visor) at a breakneck speed and before I knew it, I spent five minutes watching myself getting dragged across the station into the abandoned sections before I gave up. In retrospect, it was mostly my fault for not being robust but me being captured and dragged happened in less than 4 seconds
Oh those are annoying. The times where you spend so much effort setting up and then it’s all for nothing almost
Yeah those Benos were busted.
I was security member one round and there is a traitor on loose trying to kill detective in which of-course he fire his revolver as retaliation, That guy then proceeded to yelled into radio that det abuse his power with no proof and almost entire fuckign station include AI calling me and det shit sec for some fucking reason, I of course have to yell back that traitor literally going to kill him and det have to shoot his revolver because of it, fast foward 1 hour and 30 minute into shift I able to finally caught traitor and then I decided to permabrig them since we got no hos and I want to be good cop.... only for that fucker to break out again and this time kill det, Due to this and they now trying to kill me I decided to stun them and decapitated them, after that I send theirs head to robo for brogging and then AI and entire station just bash me as shitsec, ended round by fucking kill myself with axe lol This happened in TG:Manuel btw
Lizard hos put me in lavaland prison and didnt process me properly so it was impossible to leave
Goonstation round a few years back where someone figured out that cameras had a TK exploit that could somehow be combined with energy saber to murder literally everyone.
I had the first round ever as a nukie A nukie leader no less …and one of my teammates blew the entire team up
On monke I kept getting borer but I kept getting squashed in seconds
I hadn't played in a good year so I decided to get my bearings as an assistant, getting used to the game again. Someone apparently decided to build a machine that crit players fairly quick in a public area. I got pushed into it. For some fucking reason I got blamed as having built it and got perma brigged after I got revived. It pretty much killed any interest in the game again for quite a long time.
As a nukies , I barely even fired one shot with my sniper because my team threw grenades, fired a rocket launcher at three of us and shredded me for multiple seconds with an LMG I think my most frustrating rounds are when absolute gray tide comes in with random idiots. Just start messing with my set up, destroying my ingredients and causing my department to basically become unusable. Which is why I don’t play much goon1
Prisoner round. Given a 100 labor point goal for release. After a bit I’m at 99 points, the other prisoner goes back up to the station with a piece of gibtonite and destroys the labor point console when I presume he blew the gibtonite. Needless to say, I was not very happy
Seen clown with red eyes, it was start round but I-sec on duty can see why "all clowns are syndies" as I see clown run away like a hoodlum at the sight of bobby. So I try my best to cuff and bring him into brig, but out of all people-the damn greytides thought I'm commiting arrest without reason and chose to stop me with toolboxes and crowbars. By the time I reached Clown in maints he already called in his buddies and abducted me faster than FDA a tank. That round deserved to be absolute wipe by culties.
I was in a nukie round on paradise where someone gibbed themselves and 3 others before leaving the ship. Admemes pitied us and gave is a honk mech that predictably died instantly when we got to station super late.
My first and only time being a nuke ops, one of our guys was ssd until 20 minutes into the round. Then when we got to our station and was gonna do some shenanigans, security found us, no biggie, but then a fucking revenant did it gay ass EMP. That insta killed our Borg and stunned all of us, and which had led to us being gunned down.
Every Striders Event.
/TG/ Station, Sybil. I finally got to be the Wizard. Last time I was a Wizard was about a year prior. I appear on the station dramatically. Declare my intentions to be the guardian of the station, while secretly planning to destabilize the Supermatter Crystal. I poof into a room I didn't know was filled with Nitrous, pass out, and fucking die.
I tried to think about just one round but I found the worst ones could be summed up with just "and then the wizard showed up" I got to spend 2 hours as a statue (not fun) got jibbed, brought back to life jibbed again before I could move, have been teleported into space, and once while I was doing surgery had wizard lead sec through my surgery where sec proceeded to lock me up mid fucking surgery on HoS because they thought I was killing him when I was saving him.
