"the Ship" A *unique* New Mod
<div class="IPBDescription">Most creative mod idea I've seen</div> Found it in a <a href='http://games.slashdot.org/games/04/07/18/0451204.shtml?tid=204' target='_blank'>Slashdot story</a>, its got a great style to it, very murder mystery. From what I gather, people live on a cruise ship trying to kill each other, but very subtlely, as you can't get caught by the police/security and the act of killing actually traumatizes you. I haven't had the chance to check it out yet, has anyone here? I'd love to hear how it plays out.

and don't tell me to d/l at a lower speed- it just plain doesn't allow you to.
The needs list is interesting. I just love hunting down my disguised prey in between pees <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Yes, this is a pet peeve of mine and i'm not playing again until they sort it <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
1) The fact that every time I near my quarry, it changes <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo--> When a syringe kill is worth a lot, I always go for it since the syringe spawns so frequently and is quick to use. So, I stick the person, poisoning them. Then my quarry changes, and I get fined $2000 for killing an innocent.
2) The ***hats who DM. You can't draw weapons in most corridors on the most common map, and you cant in the infirmary either (where EVERYBODY has to go after making a kill, or you will likely die). However, there's a room directly across (a room where you can draw weapons_, and a certain smacktard stood in there, pitched a satchel charge through the corridor, into the infirmary and killed everybody on the server except him.
On one game, we all go so fed up that we all just agreed to randomly kill, and see who got the most kills of their actual quarry. I managed to get 3 quarries and 5 hunters, but like 20 innocents, so I ended up with -$20000 or so.
For a brand new mod, pretty good, but theres too many bugs/exploits ATM (such as retrying to avoid prison/fines).
Edit: Hrm. ***hat isn't in the filter yet... (those are my asterisk's, not the swear filter's).
the website itself doesn't even say what it is, you have to DIG for it..

That problem scared me off it too.
BTW, <a href='http://www.outerlight.com/theship/' target='_blank'>Here</a> is a place where International users can download this mod; it's going at about 100 KB/sec, for me, which isn't too long at all.

I keep getting fined for weapons I don't even carry.... and when I get fined, 5 people witness it (WHO ALSO AREN'T EVEN THERE)... get sent to jail for 200 seconds and fined all of my killings...
The quarry changes everytime somebody blinks an eye....
Also you can get killed standing in the middle of a goddamn hallway, with a thousand other witnesses... and the hunter will get away with it...
Yeah, needs a fix.
apparently forlorn will save you
unless you get smited first.... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

You can get fined for merely carrying ammo, which one often picks up from dropped wallets and purses.
As for the witness thing, there are two numbers in the HUD. The red one is how many people are currently looking at you. The green one is how many people have seen you with a weapon. If that number reaches 3, you're caught and imprisoned.

Player walk speed is unbarably slow though.
