robotics facility

Posted November 10, 2012 by Shadowwalked

The Robotics Facility is the hub of all technological progress for the station. It currently houses state-of-the-art AI upgrading technology, capable of researching upgrades for the resident Cyborg. To the North is the upgrading station, as well as the console hooked up to the machine.

To the West is the Weapons Room, and to the East is the Medic Room.

To the South are three heavily reinforced doors set to open only with the Captain's key-card or the Tech Specialist's key-card. The furthermost left door leads to the Power Generator, the middle door leads to the Oxygen Generator, and the door on the right leads to the Gravity Generator. Lights displayed above each door is illuminated Green, indicating normal status.

After successfully sneaking around for a bit (And then not being able to sneak anymore, thanks to a certain Xhin), chiefsonny and MajorasMask9 come face to face after chiefsonny made a grab for the Captain's keycard that Majora had just hidden.

Also attempting to sneak in (But since no sneak option has been implemented easily yet, not being able to) is 'Roxas' and Jo Nathan pistols drawn in case of trouble.

Furthermore, after installing a corrupt file of angry birds into his HUD, Xhin's mentality was fried and a past user file was restored. In his place (Mentally) now exists Castrael, the cyborg!

And finally, walking in from the generators is white lancer, the engineer.

lol thanks Cas!

Yeah, chief stole the captain's key card which basically lets him take over the ship.

I'm not saying we should make any hasty decisions, but if he tries to make a run for it I say we shoot his kneecaps.

December 19, 2012

Jo Nathan

We do have a rifle in the inventory we could use.

We could always do a sneak attack on him without him knowing. If that what were possible. and then shoot him.

December 19, 2012
Edit
Castrael

The inventory you see is your own personal inventory, so that's your own personal rifle. Roxas and myself also have our own weapons.

Also just a tip, if there are any important-looking items in your inventory (such as a key card or something), don't let on that you have them. A bad guy might try to kill you in order to obtain them.

I have no intention of shooting anyone at this point, really. If someone attacks me though I'll have no qualms about reducing them to ash. If someone's just trying to make off with a crucial item though I wouldn't kill them. I'd just maim them. {:D}

At this point though I don't even know if chief will come back. He might have gotten fed up with waiting for the game to continue.

Me neither. I came in at a random time and I'm just going to observe for now, I think. I'm sure Shadow will remind everybody.

And :3 I'm going to have to keep that in mind. I forgot we all had different things. lol. Oops. :P

Also, what has happened so far? I don't need to know anything important?

after chiefsonny made a grab for the Captain's keycard that Majora had just hidden.


It say's "made a grab for". I don't even know if I got it. That's another problem with this game. The Host has no way of talking to each player without every other player knowing what the hell is being said.

This is in no way intended as slam on Shadow, but a little more thought and planning should have went into this game before it was started. It has the potential to be a very good game, but not in the hap-hazard way it is now.

For example, if I was able to steal the key, then I should be the only one to know that. If not, there's a big target on my back, which would leave me no choice but to running around killing everything in sight.

I'm not sure at this point rather I want to continue playing or wait until the game is set up right.

I'll post later.

I realize that the sneak mechanic is pretty shitty right now, and I'm trying my best to implement it with the tools I have available to me. I can send small notes via user CP, but I still really want to get the sneak mechanic working.

As for planning, while my schedule might be hap-hazard, I've set the game up so that there is plenty of time for trouble-shooting, feeling around, and general nagging at me when shit isn't working, which is what I really wanted for a first game.

In the Mafia game, people get killed off round one. In this game, we've actually gained three new players

(Yeano, Castrael, and Kyon)

So bear with me for a bit longer. I know my sense of time is a mess, but I'm trying my best to make this an enjoyable game.

Below your reply box you should see "Castrael..." followed by a text box. Those three text boxes are used for you to enter any action you want.

For example, I could enter these three actions:

Jo Nathan shoots chiefsonny in the kneecaps.
Jo Nathan then eats a candy bar.
Finally, Jo Nathan walks into the medical room to see if there are any "medicinal" goodies.

Shadow will then use a randomizer, like rolling virtual dice, to see if each action is successful. He also takes into account how realistic the action would be. Like if I wanted to say "Jo Nathan turns into a monster and destroys the space station" that probably would not work.

December 21, 2012
Edit
Jo Nathan

So, why were you trying to take the KeyCard, chief?

December 21, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

He also takes into account how realistic the action would be.

This is why I went ahead and kept Majora in this room. He would have walked past all three of you (Who were all going to meet up with him in the first place if I recall correctly), so I figured it would be easier to just have Majora stick around rather than play musical rooms.

The alien will be disguised as a human (As the mafia were disguised as townies)


How am I supposed to know he's really the Captain?

And if he is, why is he hiding his key card?

And How was I supposed to know that's what he was hiding?

He could have been planting a explosive device.

And with no way to communicate with the Host, I still don't know what I found if anything.

If we only know who we are and have no way of knowing a human is a human, then everybody is Alien to me until I find out different.

And what bothers me, is why did Shadow refer to MM9 as the Captain.

Isn't that something we should have to find out on our own?

Dosn't that put a target on MM9's back for the Aliens.

Thanks Jo that makes a lot more sense. I'm going to have to remember that.

December 21, 2012

I've got to take into account you'd be able to see each time you enter a room. Majora is currently strutting about in a Captain's uniform, and there's no way for you to know that unless I say it in the starting room description or in reference to him.

December 21, 2012
Edit
Shadowwalked

After going back over the thread "Let the Bewilderment Begin!" there are some things that are still not clear to me.

1. You said that the Aliens know who each other. Since there is no night time thread like in Mafia where they can talk, how is it possible for them to know who one other is?
They are all in disguise right?

2.You said that everyone will be told if an alien is killed. But if a human is killed, the only way we will know is if someone finds our body. So if we get killed in a room that everyone has stopped visiting for a while, then we may never know if one of us has been offed. Right?

3. In the thread I referenced above, you said there were less then 5 Aliens, you have since added 3-4 more players. Does this Alien count still hold?

December 22, 2012
Edit
chiefsonny
 

Also, don't no how you plan to do this (use CP Notifications or something else) but there has to be a way to let people know what they find when searching rooms or dead aliens/humans.

For example what if anything did I find that MM9 hid? If other players have done a search, how are they to know if it turned anything up?

This should be a priority item for you to get cleared up before we continue on imo.

December 22, 2012
Edit
chiefsonny
 

One way this could be done is if they find anything, you can just add it to their inventory. Might be better then the CP Notifications.

It would have to include it's name and a brief description of what it does .

Just a thought.

1. You said that the Aliens know who each other. Since there is no night time thread like in Mafia where they can talk, how is it possible for them to know who one other is?

Aliens only know the identity of other aliens, and have been communicating without issue so far.

So if we get killed in a room that everyone has stopped visiting for a while, then we may never know if one of us has been offed. Right?

Correct, but like I stated earlier, I've arranged this game to not have people offed so easily in the beginning. The first game is going to be awkward and clumsy (Xhin was working on the Alien panel last night) before things get streamlined. But once it is working properly, we should be able to avoid much of the issues that have plagued this match (I've already got a co-host set up for next game, hopefully no more schedule impeded wait-times).

3. In the thread I referenced above, you said there were less then 5 Aliens, you have since added 3-4 more players. Does this Alien count still hold?

None of the newly added players were added as Aliens, so the number is still the same as at start.

One way this could be done is if they find anything, you can just add it to their inventory. Might be better then the CP Notifications.

If you find anything, it'll be added to your inventory, and I'll alter the main thread depending on the importance of the item acquired and determined 'visibility'.

Ex: "So and so rummaged through the cabinets and stood up with a gun that fires sharks"

So and so would then have an item in their inventory described as "gun that fires sharks".

In this thread, I did this:

After successfully sneaking around for a bit (And then not being able to sneak anymore, thanks to a certain Xhin), chiefsonny and MajorasMask9 come face to face after chiefsonny made a grab for the Captain's keycard that Majora had just hidden.

Since the sneak option is still hopefully being straitened out, what you basically did was walk up to Majora as he was going to hide his card, but he ended up seeing you. Castrael (Due to Xhin's prior actions), 'Roxas', and Jo Nathan all attempted to sneak in as well, but were also seen upon entering.

White lancer wasn't sneaking at all, so he basically just walked in with a confused expression on his face.

Oh, and a message to anyone going to the weapons room:

Unless you already have a weapon, there is nothing there for you.

So if you are a Alien, in your role it's going to say "Alien"?

If it says Doctor, or Sniper, or anything other then Alien, that means you are Human?

If you have a none specific role will it just say Human?

Right. They'll have traits and abilities that basically tell them "You're an alien, you can do this, this and this."

If it says Doctor, or Sniper, or anything other then Alien, that means you are Human?

You're a human as long as it doesn't say you're an alien.

If you have a none specific role will it just say Human?

Everyone has a specific role.

Heh, I'm not in a hurry to do anyone harm. As long as you don't try to kill me I think we'll be cool.

However, I would be lying if I said I wasn't suspicious at all of you. If your only solution would be to run around killing everyone that makes me a little uneasy.

Also after the Christmas Mafia game I don't know if I can ever listen to a word Majora has to say without wondering if it's a trick..... so I dunno about him. {:P}

Been thinking about this. Don't know how you can hide something and still have it without someone in the room seeing you go back and get it.

Sorry, that was a fuck-up in wording on my part. What I wanted to imply was Majora going to hide it, seeing you, and then changing his mind about hiding it (Which would be the most logical course of action I'd imagine someone to take, if you're attempting to hide something).

Still though, the sneak option needs to be fixed ASAP. Much of the sneakiness I wanted in this game can't happen easily until it's fixed.

Agree 100%. I say this because my thoughts at the start of the game was one way to get the Aliens was for a heavily armed human, staying in stealth most of the time and waiting for his/her chance to take a clean kill shot.
The only time I would have come out of stealth would be to mingle in the bar or with the docs in the med.
I know I just gave away my game plan to everyone in the room, but without sneak, I need a new plan anyway.

Also Shadow, if it's not to much trouble, in the main thread could you list all the roles(not who's in them {:P})
Just a brief description of each role. You said every one has a role. Just wondering what the roles are.

Well if they are in stealth and don't make a post then the actions in this room will not advance.

That's what happened to me. I was in stealth, made all my actions and clicked the end round button but it would not work until I made a post, which then exposed my presence to everyone in the frigging room.

Hopefully Xhin gets that working before everyone puts in their actions. I can have you enter the next room undetected, but if it isn't fixed, you won't be able to make your next action in the medic room without being revealed.
