Most competitive games have some sort of high skill cap class or character that, in the hands of the right person, is an absolute menace that provides a stupid amount of value for the team if played right but fully takes the L HARD when not. Even more devious games give this class a particular ability kit or equipment to further differentiate them from everyone else, making the unique value incredibly apparent when applied correctly.

In Space Station 13, everyone has a job on the station, from basic assistants to cargo technicians, all the way to virologists. All of them have varying degrees of responsibility and access to different parts of the station depending on their role so that different hierarchies can get where they need to in order to do their jobs.

Enter: The Clown. The clown is different.

I love the sheer level of wacky-inane bullshit that can happen in this game, and that the sheer variety of content on offer between different code bases is also astronomical, absolutely fuckin amazing

i'm a goonstation admin and (absentee) host of monkestation, funny to see ss13 here

there's one clown on goon that goes by noot, sometimes people post his horrible monstrosity art on the r/ss13 reddit. he never posts it himself

he regularly finds new and innovative ways to abuse the game engine. absolute legend

his casual disregard for monkey npcs is the most ss13 possible. if you haven't seen it he just uses a monkey vendor into an enclosed pen with a transposed particle field, that eats the monkey and drops all of its organs on the ground

it's fascinating in that :stonklol: kind of way

Reading about it is what drew me to learning how to play, you'd be surprised how much fun you can have even just a cargo tech (especially when it means starting a Cargonia revolution or wrapping someone in a package and sending it through pipes to the captain's office)

y'know i've thought about playing ss13 but i don't really know where to start. doesn't help that i am sensitive to rejection so i am deathly afraid to play the game wrong which is why i haven't even booted up the game yet :x

You can choose to not ever be a traitor and pick a role that doesn't have a lot of demand like staff assistant, miner or janitor. That lets you learn the ropes and reduces your official duties to "get to evacuation if needed"

There are some AMAZING developers still working at it, including a code compiler that effectively translates BYOND code to workable code outside of the engine (I think some variation of C). Which in effect would mean you could feed entire codebases through and make it into a workable codebase for SS14 and getting around the massive hardware hamstring that comes with BYOND! Super exciting!

oh hey it's Pinkie Pie. you never know whether she's completely useless or even deliberately sandbagging for fun, or alternatively a combat improv powerhouse complete with witty jokes, or even going far off the deep end and destroying everything.

Somehow, the clown is also the more narrowed down version of the Assistant in terms of Sheer Chaos; you know the minimum level of chaos to expect with a clown, but with an Assistant? Anything goes. They could be someone who legitimately is trying to learn the first steps, or they could be John Wick, ready to table and ziptie you at a moment's notice, then off to steal the Nuke Disk.
