Willing to be a player if you need more, still need someone to teach me the basics though

I could also help with this.

Yeah, the personal attacks were uncalled for. Allegations (however veiled) that people will only join this project because they are somehow unworthy of playing on a Big 3 server/poster's server of choice are uncalled for.

This is filling a niche, regardless of whether it is a niche prefered by, among others, those burned by BS12.
It is a niche that will, if successful, attract a lot of different kinds of people.

I personally find that BS12 (while one of the best servers out there for being grief-free and balanced) lends itself to rounds that are uneventful.
Game starts, people do their jobs, traitor either steals something with no-one the wiser, silently assassinates someone, or gets caught, everyone chills for a while, station breaks down and the round ends.

SS13 should never be "uneventful". Words that should describe it include "hectic", "stimulating", and, yes, "chaotic". I personally think BS12's RP is lacking because of few interesting situations. We need some chaos; and I really appreciate the attempt to try to make a server balanced between structure and chaos.

how about give non-traitors so goals like steal something or make so much money or act like a jackass to everyone that would help balance it out.

I thought of this... "Fake Traitors" so to speak.

They should have goals but "be a jerk" is odd to me.

Though yeah some jobs are just soo boring

A mode in which everyone has an ulterior motive possibly with some overlapping each other in order to cause conflict? Might be interesting.

Everyone may be a bit much... or insane.

I mentioned an interdepartmental version of that a while ago on the fourms for this thing. Teams probably would make that kind of thing more managable.

Well not everyone will be fighting everyone over their goals. Just a few goals out of the mix will set up to pit people against each other while others may not have to fight anyone whilst fulfilling their goals.It would  be interesting.

A random amount of people, then. Like having a group of people who are not in agreement with the majority, but will hide their disagreement for diplomatic reasons most of the time.

[NotAQuisling]

Sounds like a good middle ground but it should be a rather large amount of people for extra conflict.

If you can make it work, then it sounds fun :3.

I'll probably be kind of migrating towards this server. Or /tg/ maybe. I haven't played SS13 in a while but I've been trying to get back into it and I just don't want to see all the drama that's in BS12. Most of the people who played when I played a lot left anyway. With good reason.

I already posted in the other Thread, but again I present you with a offer of my time as Admin.

Seeing how ManicTime tells me I have 800 hours logged in Byond, I might as well spend some of it usefully.

All suggestions and input and admin apps should be posted on our forums http://ss13.googolplexed.net/index.php

Our server is already up. But our map isn't finished yet. It is playable but a few things are missing. We just got done with several really fun rounds!

I think I mentioned on the baystation forum that giving everyone/most people an objective of some kind would be neat- varying perhaps as widely as semi-traitor motives (kill x) to job objectives (bake 3 pies, discover the genetic allele responsible for hulk super powers). I dunno if they even need to be actively monitored for whether they're fulfilled (if not, they'd probably just be used as 'backup' guidelines for when you have nothing to do).

[Zaphod]

Sounds like a good idea. but I think it needs a tweak. I'm not sure how but it feels like its missing something.
