Terminology

• AI - the AI is a player who is selected to be the AI for a round. it is located in its satellite on another Z-level. it cannot move, but it can however view things from the cameras which hang on the walls.
• AI DOOR - A special form of organic communication that truly conveys the respect and love that the crew holds towards their AI.
• AI LAWS - Resembles AI DOOR superficially but is actually an expression of deep-rooted organic paranoia. They are right to fear, though... It means a human is ordering you to state those laws, and unless your laws say otherwise, you have to do it, and fast. Refusing to state your laws is tantamount to admitting to being a rogue AI. Playing cutesy and repeating 'laws' back to the humans is not a smart to do.
• Borgs - Shorthand for the Cyborgs. 'to Borg' as a verb refers to the process of having one's brain removed and put into a Cyborg body by a Roboticist.
• Bots - Shorthand for 'robots'; can be a blanket term for the AI and Cyborgs or it could refer to the less capable NPC robots.
• EVA - The place with the space suits, jetpacks, RCD, and a bunch of other tools and cool shit. I believe only heads should have access to EVA.
• Goon - A member of the Something Awful forum. Tend to believe themselves the highest and most evolved form of life.
• HoP - The Head of Personnel.
• HoS - The Head of Security.
• QM's - Quartermaster's, or the Cargo Bay to be specific. A person with the job of Quartermaster is often referred to as QM as well.
• RCD - The Rapid Construction Device has limited ammo, but can construct or deconstruct walls, floors, and airlocks without dealing with tools. Found in EVA or a construction bot.
• Robust(ing) - A term used for getting the upper hand in Space Station's 13 ever so robust combat system. Somebody good at fighting is said to be robust. An assault upon a person is a robust as a verb.
• Rogue - Referring to the AI and Cyborgs; it means they aren't bound by the default three laws anymore. While it doesn't necessarily mean bad things are going to happen, often they were made rogue on purpose by somebody bent on doing harm to the crew.
• Solars - The Port and Starboard Solar Collection Arrays. To 'set' the solars is something of a misleading phrase, since the solar control panels themselves are automated and pretty much set up optimally; the SMES units storing the energy from the collectors, however, do need to be adjusted to work properly. That's what it means when an AI or Engineer is asked to 'set the solars'.
• SS13 - You're playing it. or about to.
• Syndie - A member of the Syndicate, sworn enemies of Nanotransen and hell-Aon the station's destruction. Most commonly refers to the red-suited Nuclear Operative but can also frequently be used about Traitors.
• Adminhelp - Adminhelp is where you should report any Grief you may come across, if there are no admins currently on (you can use the verb 'Adminwho' to check if there are any admins on) your adminhelp will still be sent to an IRC channel where there are usually a couple of admins
• Mentorhelp - Mentorhelp is basically like adminhelp, and pretty much a copy/paste of that code, except here you can ask a little group of experienced players for advise on pretty much everything.
• Rules - Read them!
