SSD has always meant "Space Sleep Disorder" from my SS13 days. It started in MRP to explain in game why people went afk or logged out, as in their bodies were not used to space and just made them pass out for extended periods of time. Souless and SSD are two different things and you should NEVER kill/morgue a SSD imo, just put them somewhere (preferably in their assigned department or give them to medical). Some stations had caretakers that would feed and take care of SSD people or put them into cryobeds that took their chars out of the round entirely untill they logged back in.
Warden out of brig: Dunno why but it happens most on space station 13. Mainly on TG. It refers to when the warden is... not in the brig. Everyone will then either make fun of them or shit on them but most don't care. If your a warden and someone says that just act cool.
Played the game for the first time today and a singuloose happened almost immediately, and then it killed all the syndicate crew winning the round in 11 mins. I was very confused but it was hilarious lol
For anyone curious. As far as I remember, greytide used to refer to a large group of new players usually following a streamer/tuber. They would often choose passenger/assistant to start out and sometimes wouldn't know rules or etiquette and cause trouble. The tides used to have the persons time on it too. Such as when SsethTzeentach made a video on SS13 and caused the Ssethtide when he got a ton of new people into the game. Just fun info for any newer friends.
The hilarious part is, Sseth spent the whole video warning his viewers not to play the game for a variety of well-established reasons. Naturally, this only encouraged more people to play.
I think greytide means that whenever ss13 became suddenly super popular because of TH-camrs or streamers there was a huge spike in new players who didn't know anything about the game except the funny moments. So you had a huge influx of assistants that wore grey jumpsuits who were trying to be funny and often got banned for their attempts.
Though mostly when reffering to those players or seemed like those players, they would be called [insert shortened TH-camr's name]Tider. SsethTider being the most prominent example. But yeah otherwise greytide is often reffered to in a bad way depending on the server. On most it's bad but on servers like TG it's often seen as perfectly fine by some of the players there. And it mostly refers to acts of breaking into places, obtaining restricted gear and so on with ghetto methods that assistants would have access to or could easly steal.
@@Multichar I hate you for wishing for this because in the last week we have had an insane influx of Grey Tide. I'm talking sec cadets that load lethals at round start, med interns who use injections on corpses, cargo assistants who never find stuff to sell or do bounties and order shit, and research assistants who use apes on anoms without even checking the right radiation to use. Right now it's pure chaos and I have given up playing HoS for a while due to it.
@Liltenhead Greytide comes from assistants wearing grey jumpsuits. When there were waves of new players they would cause a lot of trouble. It's a meme often used by robust assistants who like to break stuff as well.
[Noticed this not included but suggested.] "Bwoink" is derived from the sound an admin help that is opened with you makes (at least in SS13) and is representative of said tickets. Admin tickets opened by admins are generally to gather more information about an IC event (motivations usually) and should be responded to in a nice way. There's another person behind there and if you're cool about a misstep or accident, you'll probably receive a less harsh or no punishment.
@@Liltenhead All good man. It's funny and useful nomenclature that I hope crosses the gap. Love your SS14 content despite sticking to its older counterpart myself.
It's worth noting that the term is often used to paint someone in a bad picture for whatever reasons, good or bad. Often used by someone to describe someone if they believe the player went out of their way to *hunt* the *valids* when they shouldn't be be it a medical doctor running into maintenance shaft to chase after a traitor with a drill or an assistant with engineering tools busting open any and all places where someone bad might have hidden something, a corpse, their hideout, stashes of contraband/meds/weapons/whatever. And in case of security officers, going out of your way to sweep the station clean off of threats you don't have yet ocnfirmed even exist. Term isn't applicable though in cases of *Delta* level threats like Nuclear Operatives, Blood Cultists, Revolutionaries and in case of TG in SS13, Ascended Heretics and Traitors with Final Objective. If the antagonist can and will end the round in a nuclear blast, summoning of a dark god or similiar level od destructions most players will see it as fine for you to go out of your way to help deal with them in some way shape or form since those threats often require all hands on deck to deal with.
Long term SS13 player here. You got two od the terms that came from us a little off. Greytide refers specifically to to what happens after a large youtuber releases a video on SS13. Take SsethTzeentach, after he released his video on SS13 where he essentially ran around being a bit of a shitter non-stop many players join the servers. Often times they would late join or the servers would be so full during this "tide" of players that they'd join as an assistant. This gave them that signature grey jumpsuit. Because they were new and just knew enough to break into everything and take as many tools as possible, they became a real issue for servers and they were called the Greytide. Nowadays theres no greytide, but greytiding is just replicating what they did. Picking a low responsibility job and being a general nuisance, just enough to not be a selfantag but also enough to be a pain. (Think finding a bar of soap and spending the whole shift slipping people up). Shitsec is also an SS13 term. There are some servers with "shitsec" or "shitcurity". Nowadays though, its mainly used to describe when one person is abusing their powers as security. So its less "sec is being shitsec" and more "the detective is being shitsec".
Honestly I try to deter from using shitsec unless you know, they actually are being shitty. Like one time where me (the cool mime (femboy because I had the sexy mime mask on)) and the musician was making a DAW in maints, because like there are thieves and stuff. Security raided the area and the HoS wanted to search the musician on green, then assumed a DAW was a terrorist object and decided to take it from us even when we proved it wasn’t. And proceed to harass the musician even some of the seccies joined in once we snitched on them to the cap. A not shitsec is when me the mime (not femboy round) was bored and decided go into sec and goof around when repeatedly being told to leave, and arresting me. That is not shitsec. Shitsec is when security is actively antagonizing a crewmember and continuing to antagonize them after, refusing to cooperate, the warden actively doing security officers job when there is no need, refusing to do they’re job because they are meta friends with someone, using lethals even though there’s no need (cadets get some slack, they are just silly boys who take theyre job to seriously and can be cute sometimes.), or being in a high position even though having no knowledge of functions in the game to the point you question how they got the HoS position.
You might be surprised how hard some players take being called "Shitsec" when they're just trying to play Security properly, or trying to roleplay their jobs effectively. Just the risk of being called the term turns a lot of people off from the role from the get-go and risks alienating them from it entirely if it happens in the field. I've just accepted it as part of the job, so I don't really care, personally. In general as Security, Shitsec is pretty fucking derogatory unless it's legitimately applicable to a group or member of Security who is actively, deliberately harassing people or abusing their authority. An Officer or Cadet just doing their job, which means yes, potentially putting you in cuffs and taking you to Sec based on observed or reported evidence, is not Shitsec. If we see you breaking the rules or receive a report from another member of the Station, we're going to ask you nicely to come along with us. You don't even need to be cuffed if you're going to cooperate, but we typically will just as a matter of procedure. This is not Shitsec. The Detective slapping you upside the head with a club because he thought you tried to take something from him without explaining himself beforehand is Shitsec. The Officer saying that all Felinids are psychopathic carnivores and should be spaced is Shitsec. The Cadet who got access to the Armory for some ungodly reason and decided to test all the cool toys on the local population is Shitsec - albeit possibly in ignorance. These things are not universal. Security has to juggle the strength of responsible roleplay with the unfortunate necessity of mechanical, video game alacrity if your suspect decides to take advantage of your speech bubble and tries to shoot you (or someone else) in the face. It is a difficult job, even on (very rare) relatively peaceful shifts. A good Security department is a well-oiled machine that operates on extremely strong roleplay, good communication with eachother and the rest of the Station, strong system, map and Rule/Law knowledge and a requirement for mechanical accuracy with how 14 plays in particular. We have to juggle all of this on top of the grease fire that is the Station itself. Also, Science/Epistemics just unleashed an Anomaly in our Armory.
I got shitsec once where I turned in a cadets stuff I found in a maints hallway, and then was proceeded to be accused of murder, arrested and beaten repeatedly, all after I JUST woke from cryo into the game. Shitsec is rare, but when it hits it hits hard.
So officially: SSD (Space Sleep Disorder) its an unusual sleep disorder which make people suffer from absence of tiredness, dizziness and lost of consciousness (💤) due lack of sleep. SSD is caused by errors within subjects circadian rhythm due to being in space with funky sunlight cycles and artificial lighting + sudden shifts in sleep cycles (time you go to sleep and wake up or whatever). So you like don't want to sleep for +35 hours because body thinks it still bright, so _"Day"_ not ended yet, but then suddenly body like realizes _"damn, I'm need some sleepy time or i'm gonna die"_ and makes you forcefully sleep by turning of lights in you brain 📴🧠💤
Oh, that's really cool. I thought it meant "Silent Stare of Death" for just AFK, and BSSD "Blank Silent Stare of Death" for people who went AFK and had their soul leave.
@@deadfIag there's quite literally no official source for this. space sleep disorder is just the most commonly agreed on explanation. Not to mention that like most stuff in ss14 it was already widely used in ss13 for years
6:33 Did you know "Telecrystal" is in and of itself a shortening of the name? The full name is Telepod Crystal, at least in SS13; it's just referred to as Telecrystal by everyone, including most pieces of code (even in SS13) as Telecrystal instead.
I use shitsec pretty often because i see it being warranted pretty often. Playing a bunch of HoS and warden i often see secoffs attacking people without warning on someone suspect of just theft, using their non-lethals on a rando for the fun of it, issuing and carrying out their arrests without even voicing why and my favorite, lending lethals without permission because metagaming.
This is a great list for ss13 and ss14 alike. I've probably played 150 rounds and didn't know a bunch of these. Also, there are a lot of good terms in the comments to add if you ever do an update video. Appreciate you taking time to make this!
I haven't played so long, but "Space Stress Disorder" is how I always read the initialism to SSD being told. It's a joke on "PTSD" and relates to the flavour text when inspecting AFK players, but I'm not sure whether that text came first, or the phrase. As for "TC", I'm pretty sure that "telecrystal" is a backronym, and that the true origin of the phrase is the more intuitive "traitor credits"
12:24 You should have mentioned that SSD perma dead people can still be revived if they log back into the game, there's a difference between SSD perma death and brain perma death and that perma death also extends to people who have more than 100 poison/rads/caustic before a cloners researched.
Not sure I saw it anywhere, but there's "Shitters" as well. Kind'a like ShitSec, except it can be narrowed down to an individual who is acting out. People who are self-antagging or actively griefing when they're not supposed to be, to randos (randoms) joining with the complete disregard for possibly being banned with the single intention of causing as much trouble as they can.
Greytide just means new player, or someone who acts like it. New player doesn't change his loadout, or character, all he clicks is "start" so he always came out as a black eyed bald white male wearing grey jumpsuit. Then it came to so unwilling to pay any attention to roleplay but with sufficient gameplay knowledge that they didn't bothered to change their character. Those two mixed, so now it is either powergamer, or cluess new player, with the difference being that the latter finds himself in places he shouldn't be by accident.
back when i was playing SS13 "robust" meant "to hit with a tool box, fire extinguisher, oxygen tank, or other robust object." and was generally the preferred MO of the Atmosia royal guard.
The problem with the yellow text is that revivable players, that have disconnected from the server since or prior to dying, but can still reconnect and return to their body.
@@Liltenhead True! I have seen it sometimes where a body is placed in the morgue, and then the player reconnects and goes back to their body, and then the moegue starts yelling at the medical staff. IMO it should have a different flavor text than the unrevivable bodies.
@@soneagraphics Yeah absolutely, thankfully grinding up dead bodies isn't really done much anymore so there is a bit of a threshold to get tossed in the morgue still.
After grinding my way through security for the past week to get play time needed for HoS... yeah people saying shitsec is disheartening. No I'm not shitsec, you just tried to kill someone in a fight. No I'm not shitsec, I just watched you break into vault... I think players use it as a way to express their own frustration (rightly or wrongly) at being arrested when they don't want to RP it.
Sometimes the frustration does make sense. Seen quite a bit of players, mostly engineers, atmos techs, cargo techs, science in general and assistants voice their frustration when they got unlucky with circumstance and got arrested again for something they didn't do for one reason or another, be it security falsely accusing them of something they never committed and wasn't committed at all, or they didn't commit a crime that happened but someone jsut so happened to report them be it to frame them or because they jsut so happened to be nearby the scene or looked similiar to the real perpetrator. But at same time there's also always gonna be the kind of player that does dumbest things imaginable that can and often do ruin rounds for other players and cry murder when _their_ fun isn't allowed for good reasons. Those kind of players _will_ always cry out about it, they _will_ try to rally up other crew wether they are like-minded or just neutral to the situation to take their side and they certainly will hold a grudge against specific players that "wronged" them, which will often result in them taking lesser to more drasticm easures to hamper your round, from just being annoying, slipping you, stealing your shoes or a hat to more serious acts of grudge liek stealing your security gear, taking away a person you arrested wether they are a traitor or not doesn't matter, even better for them if it's a traitor since they will often help a traitor against security, or outright _bombing_ you be it with welder tanks, improvised boms, canister bombs, TTV bombs, stolen C4/X4/minibombs/syndicate bombs, molotovs and chem grenades. Can't really do much about those to be honest. Those kidns of situations and players will always be there. Some players will get mad thanks to poor luck and call security shitsec wether security is at fault or not. Some players will get mad at security for doing their job. And some will just do it for fun. Only thing you can do is play on servers that try to do anything about it with rules and call it out, and tough it out.
Sudden Sleep Disorder is the term ive heard for ssd in ss13 for the last 10 years. The difference is that they are off client, in other words not even on the server. Different from afk which literally means they are away from the keyboard and potentially might start moving again. It's good to know someone's ssd because of command roles or certain jobs(like when the surgeon goes ssd during your surgery... Screeeammm) then something can be done about it (replace the command or take over the job) To put it short. SSD = most likely not coming back. AFK = brief moment of no player control. Thats the main difference between SSD and AFK. Note* someone can go SSD briefly if they lose connection to the server, so keep it in mind a person may come back in a minute or two as they log back on to the server.
Similar to ShitSec, we also have shitmins which are bad admins, admemes with are humorous, admin interventions and Adminbus which are admin interventions meant to bully players. These terms just like ShitSec, have more connotation in SS13 servers as with a larger variety of servers, there will good servers with competent admins and bad servers with less competent admins.
Greytider is a term originally used to refer to a wave of new players. (Because they are new, they will spawn as assistants which give them the grey jumpsuit hence, 'Grey' 'Tide'). The history behind this term is a funny one actually as it emerged as a result of the very first youtubers covering SS13 and as a result, several waves of new players began to get onto the game. Another term used to describe these new players is 'bald head' as before the automated character generator existed, characters which had no design input started out as bald.
A few that I didn't see, and some a player does not want to see. RDM/Murderbone - Random deathmatch. This refers to a player who is killing others with no valid reason. EORG - End of round griefing. This is causing trouble after the game has ended. Some servers allow this, but for others this will get you in trouble. Tesla/Tesloose - Same meaning as singulo but for the tesla Atmosia - Refers to atmospherics. The tangled web of pipes and devices few understand Shittle - Refers to a player-made shuttle of horrible quality. Often have only the bare minimum needed to fly. Moff - Refers to moths or mothroaches Vent antag - Refers to hostiles that come from the vents. This includes xenos, slimes, and spiders. Critter - Passive/ nuisance characters. These are Mice and station pets that can't speak Coged - Cognizine, specifically a mob who has been injected and is now able to talk. Sophant - A vent antag or critter that has been taken over by a player, and shouldn't be treated like the normal AI Borg - Any cyborg Robust/Robusted - Old term referring to taking a toolbox to someone's head. ERT - Emergency response team. A well equipped squad dispatched to the station by Central with a specific goal. This tends to be medical, engineering, and security. Deathsquad - An ERT with orders to purge all life on the station. Carries weapons and armor far superior to what security has.
Hey ss13 player here Ssd showed up when you shiftclick a disconnected player with a message along the lines of “ this player is ssd, don’t mess with them they may come back” that’s where it came from Robust is used to refer to anything amazingly good, from op healing chems, strong defences, and of course, people who can click good. An example is a beaker, it’s description is that it’s made out of robust materials, meaning it won’t break if you throw it, put acid in it, etc Greytide has two meanings, new players and assistants and asshats, it’s referred to a tide because when a video of ss13 got millions of views there was a “tide” of new players joining and being a nuisance, not knowing ss13 etiquette and breaking rules Hope this helps!
Well, its been a while that in some stations the emergency shuttle doesnt dock on evac... when it arrives, it docks at random places, mostly in a maintenance airlock that without external access u cant get in.
Tesloose- when tesla is loose on the station. Redtide: when sec becomes tyrants and will gun anyone down for disobedience, say in late game revs that have been killed, and sec just wants to carry itself to evac- kill on sight
Making a telecommunications server is the same as making other machines; you'll need a telecommunications server board, six steel and three lv wires. Science should be able to make you a board after a little research, you might be able to find a spare in some tech storages on certain stations. Place a machine frame construction ghost then use five steel on it. Wrench it down and place one low voltage wire in it. Add the telecommunications server board along the rest of the wire and steel. Screw it all in place when everything has been added. Then unscrew the maintenance panel and put the encryption keys of the departments you want that server to support. You can add them all into one or just one department per server. The latter is better for preventing sabotage of important departments. Sabotage is even easier; Destroying the machine is loud and depending on how you do it rather slow but it'll likely have the most lasting effect. You can cut the power to the server, either cut the LV to it or maybe even get rid of the APC. The best way in my opinion is to dismantle it. Unscrew the maintenance panel, crowbar the machine cover off then crowbar the board out.
A little sh!t sec horror story, station was in blue and I was CMO. A cadet walks up to me and says search. Me being CMO and not wanting to drop my items I say no. I then get stunned and cuffed.
Just call the HOS on the command circuit. If they're at all competent then that (probably totally clueless) Cadet will get 5 minutes worth of chewing out. The role makes me think they legit didn't understand command and alert states, which calls for correction.
Detective is probably the one role that I don't think could ever really be classified as valid hunting. It's literally their job to directly investigate crime and be at the scene.
As someone who plays sec and other departments I think calling sec shitsec is acurate your the police force of a corporation and while yes I am nice people don’t like the police in most situations and it’s a role playing game I know the people calling me shitsec don’t acc know me nor are they talking about me it’s simply people don’t like sec
Through my reading... Robust seems to have originated as essentially an in-joke about how genuinely dogwater combat can be, jokingly referred to as a "robust combat system". I can imagine how this came about.
First time I played security I was called shitsec by the person I cuffed and I'm pretty sure I was doing everything right. It was very disheartening. :( Maybe don't call Cadets that.
It's just like people calling IRL cops "pigs" or whatever--ignore it. If you're f*cking up, the Warden or HOS or your senior officers will let you know very quickly.
Soul Self-Destruct. Sometimes a player leaves the game because they are WAY out of their league since space is such massive vacuum, so the character is left to rot as a soulless husk. The character loses their very being, so they're dead spiritually as the body left to slowly and numbingly die. Maybe this would explain the situation in...another game? There's multiple valid terms in this situation, really.
i use shitsec because there are shit sec, i throw a banana at a sec then he trys to arrest me i run away then he gets two engi and two detectives to find me for throwing a banana
Why try to make a guide to a game, when with the very first term that comes up, you already couldn't be bothered to actually hop onto a server and ask for it's literal meaning?
Judging by the comments there are about a dozen common interpretations, and exactly zero official meaning. Maybe consider that the guy making the guide has played the game once or twice? Or pretty much runs the Harmony server IINM?

If someone goes extended SSD, the right thing to do IMO is strip them of any restricted gear and then put them into Cryo.
Wardenloose: If you hear this word, this means that everyone in the station is requested to break into the security department and take the guns.
Hamloose: if you hear this term, you are legally obliged to find and throw hamlet out of an airlock
Footloose: if you hear this term, it means you have to stop what your doing groove out
Warden out of brig: Dunno why but it happens most on space station 13. Mainly on TG. It refers to when the warden is... not in the brig. Everyone will then either make fun of them or shit on them but most don't care. If your a warden and someone says that just act cool.

Long term SS13 player here.
You got two od the terms that came from us a little off.
Greytide refers specifically to to what happens after a large youtuber releases a video on SS13. Take SsethTzeentach, after he released his video on SS13 where he essentially ran around being a bit of a shitter non-stop many players join the servers. Often times they would late join or the servers would be so full during this "tide" of players that they'd join as an assistant. This gave them that signature grey jumpsuit. Because they were new and just knew enough to break into everything and take as many tools as possible, they became a real issue for servers and they were called the Greytide.
Nowadays theres no greytide, but greytiding is just replicating what they did. Picking a low responsibility job and being a general nuisance, just enough to not be a selfantag but also enough to be a pain. (Think finding a bar of soap and spending the whole shift slipping people up).
Shitsec is also an SS13 term. There are some servers with "shitsec" or "shitcurity". Nowadays though, its mainly used to describe when one person is abusing their powers as security. So its less "sec is being shitsec" and more "the detective is being shitsec".
Gibbing - Verb - dealing sufficient overkill blunt damage to a player, with the goal of rendering their body unrecoverable.
LOOC is the channel I use to explain game controls to new players.
lilten, with all due respect, what am i supposed to call security after they imprison my clown brothers for a little harmless honking
Shitcurity
All honk is MUST DIE!!!!
Shitsec = very naughty security not doing theyre job.
Honestly I try to deter from using shitsec unless you know, they actually are being shitty. Like one time where me (the cool mime (femboy because I had the sexy mime mask on)) and the musician was making a DAW in maints, because like there are thieves and stuff. Security raided the area and the HoS wanted to search the musician on green, then assumed a DAW was a terrorist object and decided to take it from us even when we proved it wasn’t. And proceed to harass the musician even some of the seccies joined in once we snitched on them to the cap.
A not shitsec is when me the mime (not femboy round) was bored and decided go into sec and goof around when repeatedly being told to leave, and arresting me. That is not shitsec.
Shitsec is when security is actively antagonizing a crewmember and continuing to antagonize them after, refusing to cooperate, the warden actively doing security officers job when there is no need, refusing to do they’re job because they are meta friends with someone, using lethals even though there’s no need (cadets get some slack, they are just silly boys who take theyre job to seriously and can be cute sometimes.), or being in a high position even though having no knowledge of functions in the game to the point you question how they got the HoS position.
Shitcurity
You might be surprised how hard some players take being called "Shitsec" when they're just trying to play Security properly, or trying to roleplay their jobs effectively. Just the risk of being called the term turns a lot of people off from the role from the get-go and risks alienating them from it entirely if it happens in the field. I've just accepted it as part of the job, so I don't really care, personally.
In general as Security, Shitsec is pretty fucking derogatory unless it's legitimately applicable to a group or member of Security who is actively, deliberately harassing people or abusing their authority.
An Officer or Cadet just doing their job, which means yes, potentially putting you in cuffs and taking you to Sec based on observed or reported evidence, is not Shitsec. If we see you breaking the rules or receive a report from another member of the Station, we're going to ask you nicely to come along with us. You don't even need to be cuffed if you're going to cooperate, but we typically will just as a matter of procedure. This is not Shitsec.
The Detective slapping you upside the head with a club because he thought you tried to take something from him without explaining himself beforehand is Shitsec. The Officer saying that all Felinids are psychopathic carnivores and should be spaced is Shitsec. The Cadet who got access to the Armory for some ungodly reason and decided to test all the cool toys on the local population is Shitsec - albeit possibly in ignorance. These things are not universal.
Security has to juggle the strength of responsible roleplay with the unfortunate necessity of mechanical, video game alacrity if your suspect decides to take advantage of your speech bubble and tries to shoot you (or someone else) in the face. It is a difficult job, even on (very rare) relatively peaceful shifts. A good Security department is a well-oiled machine that operates on extremely strong roleplay, good communication with eachother and the rest of the Station, strong system, map and Rule/Law knowledge and a requirement for mechanical accuracy with how 14 plays in particular. We have to juggle all of this on top of the grease fire that is the Station itself. Also, Science/Epistemics just unleashed an Anomaly in our Armory.
I got shitsec once where I turned in a cadets stuff I found in a maints hallway, and then was proceeded to be accused of murder, arrested and beaten repeatedly, all after I JUST woke from cryo into the game. Shitsec is rare, but when it hits it hits hard.
Some people ask sometimes, nar'sie is the god of the blood cult, which isn't currently in our game.
Last night, at Centcom after evac you will never guess who showed up and just erased half the map.
Blood Cult is inbound.
@@zigfaust Oh I know! That was me!
@@quietwhisper Oh neat!
I think one that was missed was Disto. (Air Distribution pipe) the blue pipes that give the station air
I'll probably make another one with more terms later
So officially:
SSD (Space Sleep Disorder) its an unusual sleep disorder which make people suffer from absence of tiredness, dizziness and lost of consciousness (💤) due lack of sleep. SSD is caused by errors within subjects circadian rhythm due to being in space with funky sunlight cycles and artificial lighting + sudden shifts in sleep cycles (time you go to sleep and wake up or whatever). So you like don't want to sleep for +35 hours because body thinks it still bright, so _"Day"_ not ended yet, but then suddenly body like realizes _"damn, I'm need some sleepy time or i'm gonna die"_ and makes you forcefully sleep by turning of lights in you brain 📴🧠💤
Oh, that's really cool. I thought it meant "Silent Stare of Death" for just AFK, and BSSD "Blank Silent Stare of Death" for people who went AFK and had their soul leave.
@@aithaed9818I have NEVER heard of stare of death yet it's honestly funnier and more accurate
@@aithaed9818 ho-ho that's fancy.
_*grab stamp_
*_Clink_*
Approved! 🟢
source: just trust me bro
@@deadfIag there's quite literally no official source for this. space sleep disorder is just the most commonly agreed on explanation. Not to mention that like most stuff in ss14 it was already widely used in ss13 for years
A "morb" is a science anomaly of the meat type - a meat orb.
I thought it was a Morbius reference this whole time!
6:33 Did you know "Telecrystal" is in and of itself a shortening of the name? The full name is Telepod Crystal, at least in SS13; it's just referred to as Telecrystal by everyone, including most pieces of code (even in SS13) as Telecrystal instead.
I did not know that, that's cool.
I use shitsec pretty often because i see it being warranted pretty often.
Playing a bunch of HoS and warden i often see secoffs attacking people without warning on someone suspect of just theft, using their non-lethals on a rando for the fun of it, issuing and carrying out their arrests without even voicing why and my favorite, lending lethals without permission because metagaming.
This is a great list for ss13 and ss14 alike. I've probably played 150 rounds and didn't know a bunch of these.
Also, there are a lot of good terms in the comments to add if you ever do an update video. Appreciate you taking time to make this!
Update video for this is a great idea.
Thanks for making the game more accessible for noobs like me. I'm really enjoying your videos.
I haven't played so long, but "Space Stress Disorder" is how I always read the initialism to SSD being told. It's a joke on "PTSD" and relates to the flavour text when inspecting AFK players, but I'm not sure whether that text came first, or the phrase.
As for "TC", I'm pretty sure that "telecrystal" is a backronym, and that the true origin of the phrase is the more intuitive "traitor credits"
I’m pretty sure SSD stands for “Sudden Sleep Disorder”, atleast that what I’ve always called it.
other thing that fits is "Space Sleep disorder"
@@gorionus9812 either works yeag
I think you should have included Gib. I was super confused the first couple times someone told me to Gib something or someone.
Yeah that's a good one, i might do a followup with more terms at some point
It's not really specific to SS13/14 though. You hear it in FPS, probably started with Unreal or Quake. Short for giblet.
12:24 You should have mentioned that SSD perma dead people can still be revived if they log back into the game, there's a difference between SSD perma death and brain perma death and that perma death also extends to people who have more than 100 poison/rads/caustic before a cloners researched.
Not sure I saw it anywhere, but there's "Shitters" as well.
Kind'a like ShitSec, except it can be narrowed down to an individual who is acting out. People who are self-antagging or actively griefing when they're not supposed to be, to randos (randoms) joining with the complete disregard for possibly being banned with the single intention of causing as much trouble as they can.
All hail lord Singuloth, eater of stations :)
Greytide just means new player, or someone who acts like it. New player doesn't change his loadout, or character, all he clicks is "start" so he always came out as a black eyed bald white male wearing grey jumpsuit.
Then it came to so unwilling to pay any attention to roleplay but with sufficient gameplay knowledge that they didn't bothered to change their character.
Those two mixed, so now it is either powergamer, or cluess new player, with the difference being that the latter finds himself in places he shouldn't be by accident.
back when i was playing SS13 "robust" meant "to hit with a tool box, fire extinguisher, oxygen tank, or other robust object." and was generally the preferred MO of the Atmosia royal guard.
Just about every Acronym in medical was a mystery for when I first played.
15:15 it’s cool you did an entire section on core station
The problem with the yellow text is that revivable players, that have disconnected from the server since or prior to dying, but can still reconnect and return to their body.
Yeah that is true, but in my like 2000 hours of playing it occurs very rarely.
@@Liltenhead True! I have seen it sometimes where a body is placed in the morgue, and then the player reconnects and goes back to their body, and then the moegue starts yelling at the medical staff. IMO it should have a different flavor text than the unrevivable bodies.
@@soneagraphics Yeah absolutely, thankfully grinding up dead bodies isn't really done much anymore so there is a bit of a threshold to get tossed in the morgue still.
Unless it's me in med. Woe betide anyone who I can't revive (or clone), as I love grinding bodies.
After grinding my way through security for the past week to get play time needed for HoS... yeah people saying shitsec is disheartening. No I'm not shitsec, you just tried to kill someone in a fight. No I'm not shitsec, I just watched you break into vault... I think players use it as a way to express their own frustration (rightly or wrongly) at being arrested when they don't want to RP it.
Sometimes the frustration does make sense. Seen quite a bit of players, mostly engineers, atmos techs, cargo techs, science in general and assistants voice their frustration when they got unlucky with circumstance and got arrested again for something they didn't do for one reason or another, be it security falsely accusing them of something they never committed and wasn't committed at all, or they didn't commit a crime that happened but someone jsut so happened to report them be it to frame them or because they jsut so happened to be nearby the scene or looked similiar to the real perpetrator.
But at same time there's also always gonna be the kind of player that does dumbest things imaginable that can and often do ruin rounds for other players and cry murder when _their_ fun isn't allowed for good reasons. Those kind of players _will_ always cry out about it, they _will_ try to rally up other crew wether they are like-minded or just neutral to the situation to take their side and they certainly will hold a grudge against specific players that "wronged" them, which will often result in them taking lesser to more drasticm easures to hamper your round, from just being annoying, slipping you, stealing your shoes or a hat to more serious acts of grudge liek stealing your security gear, taking away a person you arrested wether they are a traitor or not doesn't matter, even better for them if it's a traitor since they will often help a traitor against security, or outright _bombing_ you be it with welder tanks, improvised boms, canister bombs, TTV bombs, stolen C4/X4/minibombs/syndicate bombs, molotovs and chem grenades.
Can't really do much about those to be honest. Those kidns of situations and players will always be there.
Some players will get mad thanks to poor luck and call security shitsec wether security is at fault or not. Some players will get mad at security for doing their job. And some will just do it for fun. Only thing you can do is play on servers that try to do anything about it with rules and call it out, and tough it out.
Just like in real life, people are gonna call cops bastard no matter if they deserve it or not.
Great video, very helpful.
SSD stands for Space Sleep Disorder basically means anyone who has been disconnected form the round well still alive
Sudden Sleep Disorder is the term ive heard for ssd in ss13 for the last 10 years. The difference is that they are off client, in other words not even on the server. Different from afk which literally means they are away from the keyboard and potentially might start moving again.
It's good to know someone's ssd because of command roles or certain jobs(like when the surgeon goes ssd during your surgery... Screeeammm) then something can be done about it (replace the command or take over the job)
To put it short. SSD = most likely not coming back. AFK = brief moment of no player control. Thats the main difference between SSD and AFK.
Note* someone can go SSD briefly if they lose connection to the server, so keep it in mind a person may come back in a minute or two as they log back on to the server.
Similar to ShitSec, we also have shitmins which are bad admins, admemes with are humorous, admin interventions and Adminbus which are admin interventions meant to bully players.
These terms just like ShitSec, have more connotation in SS13 servers as with a larger variety of servers, there will good servers with competent admins and bad servers with less competent admins.
Greytider is a term originally used to refer to a wave of new players. (Because they are new, they will spawn as assistants which give them the grey jumpsuit hence, 'Grey' 'Tide'). The history behind this term is a funny one actually as it emerged as a result of the very first youtubers covering SS13 and as a result, several waves of new players began to get onto the game. Another term used to describe these new players is 'bald head' as before the automated character generator existed, characters which had no design input started out as bald.
A few that I didn't see, and some a player does not want to see.
RDM/Murderbone - Random deathmatch. This refers to a player who is killing others with no valid reason.
EORG - End of round griefing. This is causing trouble after the game has ended. Some servers allow this, but for others this will get you in trouble.
Tesla/Tesloose - Same meaning as singulo but for the tesla
Atmosia - Refers to atmospherics. The tangled web of pipes and devices few understand
Shittle - Refers to a player-made shuttle of horrible quality. Often have only the bare minimum needed to fly.
Moff - Refers to moths or mothroaches
Vent antag - Refers to hostiles that come from the vents. This includes xenos, slimes, and spiders.
Critter - Passive/ nuisance characters. These are Mice and station pets that can't speak
Coged - Cognizine, specifically a mob who has been injected and is now able to talk.
Sophant - A vent antag or critter that has been taken over by a player, and shouldn't be treated like the normal AI
Borg - Any cyborg
Robust/Robusted - Old term referring to taking a toolbox to someone's head.
ERT - Emergency response team. A well equipped squad dispatched to the station by Central with a specific goal. This tends to be medical, engineering, and security.
Deathsquad - An ERT with orders to purge all life on the station. Carries weapons and armor far superior to what security has.

VERY HELPFUL
Hey ss13 player here
Ssd showed up when you shiftclick a disconnected player with a message along the lines of “ this player is ssd, don’t mess with them they may come back” that’s where it came from
Robust is used to refer to anything amazingly good, from op healing chems, strong defences, and of course, people who can click good. An example is a beaker, it’s description is that it’s made out of robust materials, meaning it won’t break if you throw it, put acid in it, etc
Greytide has two meanings, new players and assistants and asshats, it’s referred to a tide because when a video of ss13 got millions of views there was a “tide” of new players joining and being a nuisance, not knowing ss13 etiquette and breaking rules
Hope this helps!
Well, its been a while that in some stations the emergency shuttle doesnt dock on evac... when it arrives, it docks at random places, mostly in a maintenance airlock that without external access u cant get in.
Tesloose- when tesla is loose on the station. Redtide: when sec becomes tyrants and will gun anyone down for disobedience, say in late game revs that have been killed, and sec just wants to carry itself to evac- kill on sight
Ian: hop’s beloved corgi that is soft and cute and if you kill him am coming for you
could you do a video on comms (how to fix/sabotage). I was an engi today and comms broke and I was useless when we were trying to fix it.
Making a telecommunications server is the same as making other machines; you'll need a telecommunications server board, six steel and three lv wires. Science should be able to make you a board after a little research, you might be able to find a spare in some tech storages on certain stations.
Place a machine frame construction ghost then use five steel on it.
Wrench it down and place one low voltage wire in it.
Add the telecommunications server board along the rest of the wire and steel.
Screw it all in place when everything has been added.
Then unscrew the maintenance panel and put the encryption keys of the departments you want that server to support. You can add them all into one or just one department per server. The latter is better for preventing sabotage of important departments.
Sabotage is even easier;
Destroying the machine is loud and depending on how you do it rather slow but it'll likely have the most lasting effect.
You can cut the power to the server, either cut the LV to it or maybe even get rid of the APC.
The best way in my opinion is to dismantle it. Unscrew the maintenance panel, crowbar the machine cover off then crowbar the board out.
SSD means Space Sleep Disorder. RP name for being afk in ss13
15:15 I see a ton of people say "hamuloose" when hamlet is loose
the QM is not the head of cargo, he is the quartermaster. the HoP is the Head of Cargo (and services).
On Wizden servers the QM is the head of cargo and has been for well over a year.
@@Liltenhead oh, I missed the 14 in SS14 whoops
One alternative to SSD I keep seeing is Spacing or Bluespacing
I often call HoP as HR since irl it means Human REsources and often used for some hr-manages
A little sh!t sec horror story, station was in blue and I was CMO. A cadet walks up to me and says search. Me being CMO and not wanting to drop my items I say no. I then get stunned and cuffed.
Just call the HOS on the command circuit. If they're at all competent then that (probably totally clueless) Cadet will get 5 minutes worth of chewing out. The role makes me think they legit didn't understand command and alert states, which calls for correction.
Lord Singuloth has risen
Tesloose for when the tesla is loose
IMO even scarier
If saying shitsec is disheartening then i can only imagine what other slights will send people into a rage.
Why did I think your name was LitherHead for the longest time
My name is very often misspelled, no worries.
SSD means Spaceman Sleep Disorder.
3:35
Isn't that what the detective role kinda is for?
Detective is probably the one role that I don't think could ever really be classified as valid hunting. It's literally their job to directly investigate crime and be at the scene.
SSD - Space Sleep Disorder or Sudden Sleep Disorder
SSD=Space Sleep Dissorder
There’s multiple interpretations its not just that
As someone who plays sec and other departments I think calling sec shitsec is acurate your the police force of a corporation and while yes I am nice people don’t like the police in most situations and it’s a role playing game I know the people calling me shitsec don’t acc know me nor are they talking about me it’s simply people don’t like sec
Where halmet, hamlet, ham, hamly, hamle, hamster, gamlet?
You forgot hampter
holy hell
Through my reading... Robust seems to have originated as essentially an in-joke about how genuinely dogwater combat can be, jokingly referred to as a "robust combat system".
I can imagine how this came about.
It comes from 4chan

First time I played security I was called shitsec by the person I cuffed and I'm pretty sure I was doing everything right. It was very disheartening. :( Maybe don't call Cadets that.
It's just like people calling IRL cops "pigs" or whatever--ignore it. If you're f*cking up, the Warden or HOS or your senior officers will let you know very quickly.
Another mor recent term for a syndicait with an esword is jedi, for obvoius reasons
Soul Self-Destruct. Sometimes a player leaves the game because they are WAY out of their league since space is such massive vacuum, so the character is left to rot as a soulless husk. The character loses their very being, so they're dead spiritually as the body left to slowly and numbingly die. Maybe this would explain the situation in...another game?
There's multiple valid terms in this situation, really.
Welp, no subtitles.
I believe SSD stands for Space Stress Disorder
Space Sleep Disorder
SSD should be space sleep deprivation
(I think)
i use shitsec because there are shit sec, i throw a banana at a sec then he trys to arrest me i run away then he gets two engi and two detectives to find me for throwing a banana
ssd = shell shock dissorder
We are not on battle field but alright.

Why try to make a guide to a game, when with the very first term that comes up, you already couldn't be bothered to actually hop onto a server and ask for it's literal meaning?
Judging by the comments there are about a dozen common interpretations, and exactly zero official meaning. Maybe consider that the guy making the guide has played the game once or twice? Or pretty much runs the Harmony server IINM?
