Hey Everyone,Totally stole the topic from Bay12
I am fairly new here to bay 12 games so forgive me if this has already been posted.
But there is a game called Centration that is currently on Kickstarter.
They are also planning to release a mod kit for making custom space stations and event total conversions!
Here are some videos of it as well of the pitch video for their kick starter.
Web Site -Link
Kickstarter - Link
Pitch Video - Link
Technical Air Flow Video - Link
Twitch.TV - Link
Confirmed Information (Update - July 14th 2013)
*There will be another live stream via their twitch.tv in 2 weeks time near the end of there kick starter.
*They are working on the simulation elements and multi-player initially. Gameplay should follow shortly after.
*Characters can get better at skills such as bomb making, Medical, engineering, etc.
*Characters carry over each round provided that they do not die in the previous round. So Survival is important for the sake of your character.
*The space station is fully modular and can be ripped apart, blown up, or just decompressed in to the vacuum of space. There are vents and Maintenance corridors in the walls and floors that can be used and accessed.
*The game is meant to be a commercial release.
*It is not meant to be first person space station 13. However they are providing mod tools that will allow you to make space station 13.
*The game is very simulation heavy. (Air Flow Simulation, Simulating power, etc.)
*The game is meant to be about paranoia and survival.
*There will be in game scripting of devices.
I will try and keep this thread up to date as new information comes out.
*I am not in anyway affiliated with the Centration Development team. I am just a fan that wants to see this made.*

Games / Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator
« on: August 29, 2013, 03:20:01 AM »
How has there not been a topic yet!
And like the lazy motherforgeter I am I'm going to copy stuff from the greenlight page.
"Artemis is designed for anyone who watched Star Trek and dreamed of what it would be like to sit on the bridge of a star ship.
Artemis simulates a spaceship bridge by networking several computers together. One computer runs the simulation and the "main screen", while the others serve as workstations for the normal jobs a bridge officer might do, like Helm, Communication, Engineering, and Weapon Control.
Artemis is a social game where several players are together in one room, and while they all work together, one player plays the Captain, a person who sits in the middle, doesn't have a workstation, and tells everyone what to do."
And here's a video

Games / Space Station 13: Urist McStation
« on: May 26, 2013, 05:07:28 PM »
Original thread http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=123140.0
THREAD RULES:
Space Station 13...
...is an RPG running on the BYOND game making engine, simulating life aboard Nanotrasen Space Station 13. Engineers, doctors, botanists, scientists, security, the captain, and many more live on Space Station 13, keeping everyone happy and healthy. Until the !!FUN!! starts, anyway.
Play...
...as one of the denizens of Space Station 13, performing your assigned duties to keep the station running and productive, but...one of you may be a traitor! Perform your secret corporate espionage, and escape! Or perhaps you're a changeling, disguised to absorb DNA from the unsuspecting humans aboard the station! There are also revolution, cult, and many more possible modes, including secret, where nobody knows what mode is being played.
Urist McStation...
...is running a custom fork of the tgstation code base. Several members of the SS13 community expressed a desire for a server that wasn't completely clownish, while not being too hardcore on requiring roleplay. Roleplay is encouraged on Urist McStation, but players will not be punished for minor slips of character. For example, medical hacking doors is fine, security performing major surgery is frowned upon.
Server IP is (hosted by Vactor):
byond://24.240.44.164:59359
Alternate server is running at:
byond://kyengineer.dyndns.org:56789
SERVER RULES (Please read)
Edited from /tg/station rules at http://wiki.nanotrasen.com/index.php?title=Rules.
Guiding Principle:
Try to keep things fun for everyone, i.e. the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have done unto you.
Primary Policies
0. Admins may disregard any of these rules at their discretion when they feel its in the best interest of the current round/server/playerbase at large. They will, of course, be fully accountable for their actions should they choose to exercise this privilege.
1.We’re all here to have a good time. If you’re intentionally trying to ruin everyone else’s good time, you won’t have a place here. Being a jerk in-character is fine to a point, but being a jerk out of character is not welcome at all.
2. You are playing a game where you are not fully in control of everything. You will be put into situations beyond your control, which will result in some rounds being ruined for you. Man up and deal with it. However, if you are obviously griefed, be sure to report it to administrators by using the ‘adminhelp’ verb.
3. Randomly murdering people is generally considered to be ruining someone’s fun and poor form in roleplay. If you don’t have a solid IC reason for murder, you may be removed. Trying to justify it with ‘My character is so random/insane’ is not tolerated.
4. IC information should be kept out of OOC channels and vice-versa. IC in OOC is far less acceptable than OOC in IC.
5. Don’t metagame. Do not use information, acquired out of character or through patterns or events your character would not be able to know, in game. This includes exploiting bugs.
6. If you take up or are given a job, which is important for game progression (head of staff, AI, antagonist role), make sure you actually do that job. If you find yourself unable to do this due to real life circumstances, that’s fine, but please let an admin know (adminhelp) before you leave.
7. Speak like a normal person while in character. Don’t spam, either IC or OOC. Don’t use smileys, netspeak, etc. in IC speech.
8. ERP is disallowed on Urist McStation. It’s nearly impossible to ensure that people who don’t wish to hear it don’t have to listen (bystanders, ghosts, admins).
9. Ingame administration has the final say in all ingame matters. If problems arise, you can report offending or abusive admins on the forum thread. If an admin says something was valid, it means it was valid. This is the admin’s way of saying it’s been investigated and found to not breaking any rules; The admin will not reveal ingame information.
10. It should go without saying, but if you break the rules (or regularly come very close to breaking them i.e. “toeing the line”), you will be warned, muted, banned, or talked about rudely.
Additional Policies
Roleplay
Murder is justifiable as long as it was properly escalated. You can’t go from a single rude punch to a knife in the neck. You can, however, go from a single punch to a counter punch to a brawl to using weapons, and so on. Other IC justifications may exist for murder, but these are on a case by case basis. Minor aggravations like demotions, pranks, insults, or thefts are not adequate justification.
IC in OOC can be a no warning ban of 15 minutes, it can be longer if the IC in OOC is severe. To clarify, this is revealing anything about the current round that others can use in the OOC channel. If you are unsure do not say it.
Avoid using non character names. If you have a very offensive name or an obviously immersion breaking moniker like 'xenohunter360' you will be asked to change it.
As long as there is adequate IC backing and it doesn’t happen too often, assisting a traitor is within the rules.
Admins are not only allowed to run events or otherwise influence the course of rounds, they are encouraged to. They are as much GMs as they are enforcers of the rules, perhaps even moreso.
Persistent character relationships are acceptable, so long as they’re roleplayed out every round. Wordlessly assisting your OOC friends (or harming your OOC foes) ICly is NOT cool and will be addressed harshly. Roleplaying out your interactions will help you stay on the right side of the rules. How much or how little of previous “shifts” your character recalls is up to their discretion, with the caveat that being a known traitor doesn’t persist past the round it occurred in.
Griefing on the shuttle can also be a no warning ban scaling up from 15 minutes. Shuttle griefing is attacking people or preventing people boarding before the shuttle has launched for no IC reason.
Silicons
All Silicons are expected to follow their laws to the best of their ability. Failure to do so will likely result in a job ban from all silicon positions.
Law order determines law priority. In the case of two laws contradicting, the one with the smaller law number wins.
Asimov silicons are not required to do what players who threaten self-harm demand, unless they choose to interpret law 1 to include that.
Command/Security
Security are expected to use non-lethal force when defending against non-lethal attacks. This of course also means that security are allowed the option to use lethal force when defending against lethal attacks. Getting stunned in a dark maintenance hallway by an assistant is potentially lethal - a clown slipping you outside Medbay, probably not.
Permabrigging is functionally the same as murder. Anyone who is valid for execution is valid for permabrigging. Anyone who is not justifiably executable is, likewise, not justifiably a candidate for permabrigging. Makeshift permabrigs are treated the same as the official permabrig in terms of rules-enforcement.
A Captain or acting Captain may execute criminals, traitors, and other known threats to the station should alternatives not prove sufficient. Abuse or misuse of this privilege can lead to job banning or worse.
Theft, assault, annoyance, false arrest, sentence times etc. are in character matters. Unless it is extremely excessive or griefy, it is not an admin matter.
Admin-help
When you adminhelp do not say things like 'is it valid?' or 'being griefed', give details of what is happening and ideally who is doing it, job and character name.
If you see someone doing something that seems out of line adminhelp right then, do not wait until round end to see if they are a traitor then adminhelp next round. It makes it a lot harder to deal with.
Do not lie in PM's and avoid being aggressive, unhelpful or insulting to admins, lying while being questioned over an incident will cause you to receive a longer ban and being consistently insulting or aggressive will get you muted.

Okay I was told it was fine if I make this, We are looking for more people to come join us in the server and I know most of you guys who play SS13 like to have a server that's always up. Also can can't stress the rules anymore, Please follow them.
THREAD RULES:
- No discussion of admin-ing style of other servers.
- No personal attacks.
- No ban discussion, except as directly related to Urist McStation. Please discuss bans of other servers somewhere else; the bruised feelings tend to get the general discussion thread locked.

Off Topic / What does your Surname mean?
« on: February 03, 2013, 07:23:14 AM »
My surname is Nienhaus.
The meaning of the name Nienhaus:
A North German equivalent of Neuhaus, in which the first element is inflected (i.e. ‘at the new house’).
The North German language is pretty much Scandinavian.
And considering North German wasn't really even used in Germany which is where my family came over from I'm confused a bit.
But anyway go ahead and post what your surname means.
Edit For people who don't know your surname is your last name...
