 Here we come to the first sign of of whether you'll be a good player or not: '''If you're bored already and can't be assed to do these exercises then you're probably not going to like Space Station 13. If you are eager to learn, however, you will become a good player.''' These exercises are not mandatory but now that you know how the basics work. DON'T JUST GRAB an ITEM AND START HITTING PEOPLE WITH IT, or your existence on SS13 will be very short indeed.

 ===Writing, radio and PDA's===

-#'''Radio:'''[[File:Headset.png]] Okay, you're an assistant, which means you can theoretically work anywhere and assist with tasks. Practice dictates otherwise, but we won't pay lazy asses round here, so try to get a job now. Try to ask someone if they need assistance.

-##Using the radio is simple. Instead of using '''say "Hello"''' like you would to say things to the people around you, you use '''say ";Hello"'''. Basically you add a semicolon before your message. Some departments have department radios (such as security, engineering, medical...) To use these, you write '''say ":h Hello"''' As an assistant, however, you don't belong to a department and as such don't have a department radio so the :h won't work.

-##Be polite and professional when asking. An example of how to ask: say ";This is assistant %name_here%, I've just arrived on this station and am wondering if anyone needs assistance with any job."

-##Then you wait for a reply, if someone says they need you, then go to them and learn from them, you can continue these exercises at any times. If the call ends up with you dead on the floor, don't get mad, it happens all the time.
