Game FAQ

So by this time, you've checked the Quickstart and have a basic understanding of what happens in game. But you've got more questions. Good thing you came here!

How do I speak on the radio?

Prefix your message with a ; eg. 'say ";Hello world!'. If you have a job-specific headset such as engineering, medical or security you can speak on the job-specific channel by replacing ; with :h. Cyborgs, the AI and humans with the correct implant can speak on the robot channel using :s.

I'm a traitor (or other antagonist), what do I do?

Remember that your objectives are just a suggestion. You can complete them if you want but it's fine to ignore your objectives completely and just murder people if you wish. However, it's probably best to adminhelp if you don't intend to do anything traitorous at all so that a new traitor can be appointed.

How do I open containers on the floor?

Drag the sprite to your character sprite.

How do I loot people or put items onto them?

Drag their sprite onto yours, click the item you want to remove. To add an item to them, hold the item in your active hand and click on the slot which the item fits in.

I was arrested, how do I remove handcuffs?

Click the resist button and wait a minute or so. Other people can also remove them for you using the method in the question above.

What do I do if my question isn't answered here?

Use the mentorhelp command in game. Mentors are community volunteers who know a lot and are happy to share their knowledge. If you run across a question in game, you can always use the mentorhelp command, and if a mentor or admin is on you can expect a quick and efficient answer. Mentorhelps also show up in the admin IRC so it's worth asking even if there are no mentors online, as someone might see it and answer.

Do not discuss anything identifying (such as your name or where you are) with your mentor. This is considered metagaming and is frowned upon. Acting on information about the current round gained via mentorhelp (such as the identity of antagonists) is not allowed.

For more details, see Mentorhelp.
