==[[Special Events]]==

''<code>'''Enemy communication intercept.''' Security Level Elevated.</code>''

The default game mode on /tg/Station. It randomly selects from gamemodes in the rotation, which can either lead to variety or hilarious back-to-back-to-back Nuclear Emergency rounds. In addition, certain [[Random events|random events]] may occur during the round.  

It gets worse! The station has been infiltrated by [[changeling|changelings]] ''and'' [[traitor|traitors]]! Although rare, it is possible to be '''both a traitor and a changeling'''. Traitorlings would be given 4 objectives to complete, but can use both a Syndicate uplink and their changeling abilities to accomplish them.

===[[File:Doubleagent.gif|link=Traitor]] [[Traitor|Double Agents]]===

A group of Double Agents are implanted on the station. Each Agent has an objective to kill another Agent, then escape the station. As in Traitor, each one also has access to a Traitor Uplink, from which multiple items can be ordered to help them kill their target. No one can be trusted, not even other Agents!

* If a Double Agent kills his target and escapes alive and out of custody, he/she gets greentext.

 

A team of five '''Syndicate operatives''' has been sent on a '''mission to completely destroy the station with a nuclear bomb'''. However, they must get the [[Nuclear Authentication Disk]] from the station itself in order to arm the bomb, and the crew (or at least the captain) will be doing everything in their power to stop the attackers from getting the disk. The operatives have access to most of the same items Traitors get in order to complete their mission, as well as [[pinpointer|Pinpointers]] that will allow them to hunt for the Disk.

A small cadre of crew members have had enough of the command staff's bullshit so it's time to revolt! '''Revolutionary Heads''' (of which there will be one to three, depending on the number of Heads of Staff) are supported by [[The Syndicate]] and have been trained to use [[Flash]]es to '''brainwash the crew to join their cause''', which is to '''slaughter all the station's Heads of Staff'''. When a Revhead uses a flash on someone who isn't loyalty implanted (all security members are implanted) or a Head of Staff, they will be converted to the Revolution and will have a red R mark on them visible to all revolutionaries. Note that Revheads can use any flash to convert people, not just the one they start with. The shuttle can be called but will never arrive during this game mode.

* If all of the [[Heads of Staff]] (Captain, Head of Personnel, Head of Security, Research Director, Chief Medical Officer, Chief Engineer) die, the Revolutionaries wins.

* If the station is destroyed or evacuated, both gangs lose.

===[[File:Cult.png|link=Cult magic]] [[Cult magic|Cult]]===  

*There are no defined "Cult heads", all cultists are equal; but each original cultist starts knowing the meaning of two rune words and a special 5-use talisman.

*Since cultists don't know all words required for creation of runes, they need to find these words out through experimentation or get from their horrible deity by sacrificing people. As such, the crew has some time before the cult starts spreading.

 

===[[File:Shadowbeing.png|link=Shadowling]] [[Shadowling]]===

The station has been invaded by light-sensitive alien creatures FROM SPACE! Shadowlings can 'enthrall' humans, which is basically a euphemism for enslavement of their minds. They start off disguised as normal crewmen but can "hatch" to unlock their full potential, at the cost of being severely harmed by light.  

 

Until they ascend, of course.

* If a Shadowling ascends, the Shadowlings win.

* If all Shadowlings are killed the crew wins.

* If the station is evacuated the crew wins.

 

However, in special circumstances, when the crew is [[beyond the impossible|void of griefers]] (and people who need non-stop stimulation and entertainment so they won't get bored) and the majority is competent and roleplays, it can be a very entertaining mode. The absence of blatant traitors, wizards or agents means that the whole crew can work with a peaceful mind and tackle together anything thrown at them by the game or the admins.

 

''Note: Extended rounds will still show the "Enemy Communication Intercept" -message at the beginning of the round, even if there are no antag jobs due to it being extended.

 

Game modes which are not in the Secret rotation, but may show up if an admin sets it or it wins a game mode vote. These game modes do not appear in the normal rotation either due to them still being in development, being too powerful to normally use or they simply are unfun and/or boring.

While Abductors are a enjoyable antag, they do not present enough of a threat to advance the round.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meteor's can be a random event occuring in game, but otherwise are admin only due to the predictability of most meteor rounds and that meteor rounds are very short.
