As fun as the game is, the administration from all the the servers you listed (besides Colonial Marines) are shit.
absolute shit

Play the better game Lifeweb.

Normally I would agree- but admins have actually started to chill out. Bay was the biggest culprit but now the admins are loosening up

Just last night on Bay I was the captain and I led a group of assistant "ninjas" who were my bodyguards. We also tracked down the traitor and beat them with a crowbar. Even gave them all guns. Couple months ago anyone involved in that would have gotten a ban.

Well except Paradoxon. They're a dick

Robots, I played this for 5 years, let me tell you what you can expect.

The game itself is pretty damn fun, and impressive given the limitations of the BYOND game-maker system.
This game, tile-by-tile, tic-by-tic, computes atmospheric pressure, concentration, lighting, and integrity of objects and materials.
You could fill the whole station full of laughing gas.
You could trap somebody in a room, and over-pressurize it until they explode.
You potentially create a bomb which has a massive endothermic reaction, and freeze everything in the explosion.

Slight drawbacks is that you have to text to speak, which makes playing security roles a major pain in the ass.
And there aren't really any (good) animations for combat, so when two people are fighting the only way to gauge the severity is to read the text-announcements in the chat-log, or to see if blood starts spattering around.


Here's the biggest fuck-up of the game though: The players, and admins.

Most of the "Good" players there are complete assholes who play this game so much every day that they -expect- everybody else to know the nuances and "unspoken" rules as they do, and any violation of these unwritten rules will result in them reporting you to whichever admin they are ERPing with the most.

Old players never take time or effort to teach new players anything, the game isn't exciting or fun to them unless there is murder/deathmatch, and this results in many games being decided by the actions of just a few players. New players try an antag role, but never get much practice because the older players sniff them out and kill them fast. Old players get bored that they can slaughter entire stations, because nobody invests time to develop new players, and so only a handful of people on the station have any clue as to what's happening, and they'd rather do other shit like unleash virulant monkeys for shiggles.

And the Admins, oh lord the admins.
I hope you like being the toy in somebody's personal toy-box, because that's all you are to them as a players.

Every now and then you'll hear hope of a new server popping up with a new admin, who wants to "To things right this time", and for some short times afterwards they actually hold up.
But the power of admin privileges is like the power of The One Ring, eventually it -will- corrupt all who wield it.

First it starts with job-bans, where only preferred players get to have certain roles on the regular.
Then it follows with them playing in the game with players, and directly dictating the direction of that game's narrative.
Then before you know it, you are killed within the first 5 minutes of a game by the giant disembodied head of Gabe Newell, after which the admin saves the day by luring it into the singulo, and they spend the next 2 hours RPing the rebuilding of the station while ignoring your request to be respond and replying, "Lol u died just go play another game or something."


tl:dr;

Fantastic concept of the game reasonably executed on a easy to run game engine.
Long-time players and admins always, always, always fuck it up, and drive away new players and thus any hope of competent long-term players.
This is why anytime you see an SS13 thread, they are always trying to recruit.
