I'll update OP later, since I'm on mobile right now, but this is pretty much a game where you roleplay a job on a space station. For example, you could be a scientist, geneticist, chef, botanist, clown, captain, ai, cyborg, and lots of other jobs. What makes the game interesting are the different antagonist roles that I'll make a list of:
Traitor -
Several people on the station are traitors sent from an organization called the syndicate, hellbent on taking down Nanotrasen(company that owns the space station). The traitors have access to a syndicate uplink through their pda's that can order several items to help complete their objectives at the cost of telecrystals. A few of those items are a pizza bomb, an "id" that breaks doors and cyborgs and lots of other fun stuff, thermal goggles, C4, revolver, energy sword (p much lightsaber), and lots of other items you can see on a wiki.
Changeling -
Creatures that can suck up DNA and impersonate anyone they come across are on the station! They can mutate abilities such as an arm blade or stinger, switch their identity to anyone who's dna they have absorbed, and spread mistrust through the crew. Sometimes these types of rounds are mixed with traitor rounds, which results in changelings having access to the syndicate uplink.
Nuke Ops -
5 Nuclear Operatives from the Syndicate are sent on the station, who have to blow up the station and escape with the nuclear fission explosive on board the station. They also have access to the syndicate uplink, with even more items on them. They will attempt to steal a nuclear authentication disk that the captain starts out with, and once they get it, they usually always win.
There are some other types of rounds like cult, revolution, and gang wars, but I'll write that down when I get on a computer.
There are 3 main branches of the SS13 source cod, /tg/ (most popular), Goon, and BayStation12. Each have there own advantages and disadvantages, but I prefer /tg/.
To get the game, you need this stuffty software called BYOND. Go on byond.com and download it, and create an account. You can run a virus scan if you want to make sure the installer isn't a virus. After that, just search space station 13 in the games list and it should pop up!
Welp that's the end of the thread, I'll add more later when I get on a computer. Try it out, give your thoughts to the game. This game also has a pretty steep learning curve, and a wiki is pretty much required to do well. Make sure you have the right wiki for the server you are on.
Woops sorry forgot to add the honk!!!!-man to antag roles yeah he obviously goes there.
