Figured I should make a post like this too. I’ll start with my own comment a moment.
I once played the Colonial Marines server and was trying to survive being lost in the xenomorph infested zone alone. When I used my last flare to light the gooped up hallways, I found two others and we started making our way out of the forest before the Xenomorph players found us.
We made it away after having to throw some grenades at drones and were celebrating surviving the ordeal when a Predator de-cloaked in front of us. One of us was an idiot and tried to charge that Yautja . That Predator beat the dumb marine to a pulp and then threw his barely alive body at my feet and then sighed before cloaking again.
The two of us remained motionless for a moment before dragging the nearly dead marine to a medic. My Squad leader had been in that area luckily and had me evac to the ship since he said it was all a lost cause and over half our squad had already been sent back in bodybags.
When the dropship brought me back to the ship, I decided to drown my sorrows with alcohol from the bar. The chef hooked me up with some potato vodka he made and I drank as much as I could while eating the pizza he laid out on the table. Thanked him for the pizza and he said the thanks was all on Delta squad for coming back mostly in bodybags. I then looked upon the pizza, tacos, pasta and meatballs covering the counter and knew I was seeing my dead squad mates again. Realized what the pizza I ate was and started screaming. I drunkenly called him a monster and ran out drinking the vodka.
Not long after, the Xenomorphs got control of a dropship and were on their way to our ship to attack us. Everybody is screaming while running for a place to hide or defend. We get breached not long after and the Xenomorphs start making their way through the defenses. I drink my way to the command room area where the bulk of the defenses remained and waited for the end to happen. Did not take long for most of us to be taken out by the Xenomorph players and then they rushed in and killed the rest of us.
That was just from one round of of CM I played two years ago. Not long after I played the Mess Sergeant role for the first time and found out that the best way to get corpses was to bribe the doctors with alcohol. I got drunk off the same stuff used to bribe my squad into being Taco Bell/Olive Garden ingredients!
A long time ago there was a series of events run on the goonstation RP server called “Day of Destiny”. In the first one, at the beginning of the round we had 30 minutes to evacuate the ship to one of the telesci locations (Biodome) before a syndicate missile destroyed the ship. I was the AI, and for most of the 30 minutes I helped gather supplies and teleport things, but with like 5 minutes to go I got an ion storm law… I was forced to prevent anyone from leaving the ship. The folks still on the ship barely managed to deactivate me and power back on telescience in time to make it off. Except for the botanists, who were just growing weed with abandon all the way till the end.
I was a traitor clown and went insane in order to get jailed then I demanded to speak with the captain and then tried to beat him up, was kinda fun.
So sad this community isn’t active, let’s fix that!
This was a few years ago. I had died and couldn’t be cloned. So I decided to play as Ian, and was given a headset. I’m barking away on comms, and everyone loves it. Then someone comes to HoP office and asks if I want to visit everyone in science. I chase my tail, so HoP lets me out and I follow the guy to R&D. Turns out it was compromised by a cult, who sacrificed me and spread my blood around.
After a while people start realizing they haven’t heard me barking over comms for a while, and the detective begins Investigating. He asks some questions and retraces my steps, finding the evidence of the cult, and then my body. I’d never seen the crew work together like that to systematically hunt down and eviscerate each cult member.
