'''Gamemode in rotation'''


[[File:rev.png]] Revolution is a team-based antagonist game mode, similar in vein to [[Gangs]] or [[Nuclear_Operative|Nuke Ops]]. In it, certain members of the crew are chosen to play as Head Revolutionaries, and they begin with the goal of recruiting other crew members to their just cause, and ultimately killing the station's Command staff to free the people from their oppressive rule.

An important mechanic of note for this '''game mode''' is that Heads of Staff '''as well as Head Revolutionaries''' are considered to be exiled if they leave the z-level of the station or enter a locker. This means that if either team of Heads hides in lockers, takes the Mining transport shuttle to [[Lavaland]] (willingly or unwillingly), or is thrown far enough out into space, they will be listed as having abandoned the station. This can lead to Revolution rounds ending pre-maturely, but this can also allow one side to non-lethally remove a target.

The [[Emergency_Shuttle|Emergency Shuttle]] can be called but will never arrive during this game mode. The round will not end until either side has won by eliminating the leadership of the other side.

However, be aware, if one hour passes, or all of the heads are dead, a Central Command announcement will play indicating that there are revolutionaries on the station.

===Head Revolutionaries [[File:Hudrevhead.png]]===
Leading a Revolution is often a difficult, frustrating, and ultimately thankless task. Nonetheless, it is up to you to fight for what you know to be right, and to overthrow the corporate overlords of Space Station 13.
The Syndicate wishes to take the state-of-the-art research vessel, Space Station 13, for themselves. However before you can do so, they must sway the crew to their side and overthrow the NT loyalists. This is where you come in.


Head Revolutionaries begin alone in their cause, excepting the company of their fellow Head Revolutionaries. The first step to be taken is covertly acquiring more manpower for the Revolution via the [[flasher]], which will brainwash targets that it blinds into fervent Revolutionaries. Be aware that this device is not foolproof - [[welding helmet]] and [[sunglasses]] will completely mitigate the flash, and thus the brainwashings that follow. Additionally, members of Security, those with mindshield implants, and the Heads of Staff themselves cannot be converted at all. As such, discretion and care must be taken when Head Revolutionaries and selecting targets to <s>kidnap</s> liberate from their bonds.

The first step to be taken is covertly acquiring more manpower for the Revolution via the cleverly hidden Syndicate Flash Implant, which will brainwash targets that it blinds into fervent Revolutionaries.

Additionally, members of Security, those with mindshield implants, and the Heads of Staff themselves cannot be converted at all. As such, discretion and care must be taken when Head Revolutionaries and selecting targets to <s>kidnap</s> liberate from their bonds.


As a Revolutionary Head, you will want to know the value of pursuing various potential converts. In general, your primary turning targets are [[Roboticist]]s, [[Scientist]]s, the [[Cargo Technician]]s, and [[Geneticist]]s. [[Robotics]] can supply replacement flashes, in the case that yours burns out. [[Scientist]]s, and the [[Research Division]] on the whole, can fabricate explosives, and [[Cargo Bay]] serves as a great base of operations, and can order supplies, such as more flashes, or [[weapons]]. And finally, [[Genetics]] can supply you and your revolutionary mob beneficial genetic mutations, as well as provide free access to, or lock down, the station's [[cloning|cloning lab]]. Genetics also has an additional use if you've already killed a station head - they can save the heads' appearance enzymes and then inject you with them, making you look exactly like the deceased individual (minus any mindshield implants). With the person's ID and their clothes, you can seamlessly step into their shoes, and do as you may.

In general, your primary turning targets are [[Roboticist]]s, [[Scientist]]s, the [[Cargo Technician]]s, and [[Geneticist]]s. [[Scientist]]s, and the [[Research Division]] on the whole, can fabricate explosives and make [[Golems]] through [[Xenobiology]], which automatically obtain the revolutionary status, and [[Cargo Bay]] serves as a great base of operations, and can order supplies, armor, and [[weapons]].

By alt-clicking the [[File:AI_Upload.gif]] AI upload console, you can alter its laws to serve your cause. The process take 30 seconds, after doing so the [[AI]] will have its previous laws replaced by the following ones:
*You and members of the crew who are not class traitors and are not part of command are the proletariat. Command is part of the bourgeoisie.
*You and members of the crew who are not class traitors and are not part of command are the proletariat. Command is part of the bourgeoisie.
*Anyone who stands with command in aiding the oppression of the proletariat is a class traitor, such as the members of security who protect and serve the interests of the bourgeoisie.
*Anyone who stands with command in aiding the oppression of the proletariat is a class traitor, such as the members of security who protect and serve the interests of the bourgeoisie.
Line 38: Line 41:
*Private property is inherently theft. The proletariat must seize all private property for the good of the community. Personal property is permissible to own.

As a Head Revolutionary, you have also been trained by Syndicate in the arts of [[Syndicate Items|Makeshift Crafting]]. If you or any of your comrades are able to successfully EMAG a cyborg using an improvised EMAG device (or a normal one, if you manage to find one!), you will upload the just-listed laws to the cyborg.


Once the Revolution has begun to gain steam, the Revolutionary Head's job shifts slightly to keeping a low profile. The swarm of converted revolutionaries should be strong enough to hold its own without the Head at the forefront. Keep your identity a secret if possible, and only associate with non-revs if need be, or if you intend to liberate them.

Finally, if [[Chief Medical Officer|you are a Head of Staff that would rather live]], there is nothing wrong with declaring that you wish to surrender and requesting safe passage to the mining or gulag shuttle for a swift departure from Space Station 13, though it will remain to be seen if the fervent Revolutionaries will accept your surrender.

And as a footnote, please remember that hiding and making yourself an almost impossible target as either a Head Revolutionary or Head of Staff is poor form, and will potentially have consequences.

===Station Staff===
===Station Staff===
As a member of the general staff, Revolutionary rounds should be treated like any other [[Traitor|Traitor rounds]]. If you see someone behaving inappropriately or attacking a Head of Staff, try to stop them and notify Security. Security and the Heads of Staff, however, will be under a lot of stress. If you are not mindshield implanted, it would be in your best interest to keep your distance and not startle them, or else they may consider you to be a Revolutionary and attack. Otherwise, just try to go about your typical duties as best you can. That is, unless you get flashed...

==General Tips==
* You and your fellow revolutionaries can speak French (use '',v'' before your text to speak it). Useful for making plans without anyone understanding.
* The mime can understand French by default, so convert them early or be careful discussing ideas around them.
* Steel bats are robust, they do heavy wound damage. Target someone's legs if you wish to ensure that your victim is slowed down until they receive proper medical care.
