Absolution (formerly Archangel)

  1. So, first of all, this is a little bit of a trick, this off-topic discussion is about another game, which is free. And I'll tell you all about it.

    Absolution is a BYOND server (More on that later) that is completely overhauled for Warhammer 40k, we've got everything, except for...Players. Our highest count at any given day is 15 or so players, which is pretty small. I'll link you to the forums of Absolution, the BYOND download and an SS13 (that'd be Space Station 13) tutorial before I get too deep into things.

    Now that that's over, let me get onto a few points about Absolution, since the wiki isn't fleshed out just yet.

    1. Almost every single Space Station 13 (that's the name of the game Absolution is a server to,) job is converted to a Warhammer 40k version. We've got guardsmen, sergeants, commisars, tech priests, cyberneticas, a Lord General, medicae, a Sister Hospitaller and so on.

    2. The RTD system, is something no other server has tried to replicate. You die, and you press RTD, if you're not whitelisted, you'll spawn back in as a different crewmember (with no knowledge of any of your previous character's life.), but there are two parts to this. One, you're not allowed to RTD twice, and two, you can be whitelisted. This means, if you make an application to a faction and are accepted, you will be able to RTD as that chosen faction, from Space Marine to Ork to Tyranid, to Tau, to Eldar, and more!

    3. Unique combat system, one not on any other Space Station 13 server, utilising momentum and melee combat. Each intent does something different with a sword, and gets even better if you've got momentum.

  2. Sounds interesting

  3. Thanks!

    PS: the head admin exists. He just went on vacation for...Several months.
    Yes. Vacation.
  4. What is RTD btw?
  5. RTD is a system that can be used after death, which will give you a second life as something else. The default RTD is a randomized crewmember, but you can apply for an RTD on the forums such as Space Marines, Inquisition, Tau, Eldar, Orks, and more, which will give you a special role in the round. BUT, using knowledge from your dead crewmember is not allowed, and will get you banned if you do so.
