Well, I wonder does somebody play this hilarious game? For those of you who are either too lazy to google it or just interested enough to read I'll throw in a short introduction.
Space Station 13 is a free game made on BYOND engine where people use their own servers and make own games - which means different layouts of stations are used, different sprites and different rules (some servers endorse roleplaying, other are mostly special game modes, events etc.). It focuses on players being spawned on the station in different roles. There is Captain; Heads of Staff - security, medical, personel, research; Engineers; Scientists and even Janitors, Mimes, Clowns, Chaplains and Librarians. So - for everybody something interesting. Every job has it's role - be it simple entertainment, providing sustenance for the station or setting up power and engines. It makes Space Station living, breathing place. But not for long.
Why? Because on board at the start of the rund spawn either traitors, nuclear agents, changelings or other disasters. The crew role is to find the enemies and deal with the trouble. Which usually ends in total destruction and calling evacuation shuttle. There are also random disasters like meteor storm or just a chemist accidentaly creating napalm and setting medical bay on fire. Add to that rampant diseases from virology, rogue cyborgs and AI (oh GOD), the explosions depressurising the whole parts of the station... and here you have the experience of SS13.
It's lovingly dangerous and mad. Example? Yesterday I was a Librarian and after printing out the Bible of Trip Falling I began my crusade to convert the rest of the station. As a Mime I stalked a guy until he freaked out and ran. As a Station Engineer I blew up when setting up the Singularity (black hole basically). Death is often and prevalent in SS13, but as long as your brain survived you can get either cloned or borged... IF other people are still doing their job.
So? Anyone plays it? Anyone likes it?
