We’re now allowing guest connections, given the ongoing DDOS. However, all guest connections will instead be prompted to authenticate via the CM-SS13 Forums instead. When you sign in as a guest, you’ll be shown the below screen. The button will then open your browser, where you’ll be directed to create or sign in to your account (or be automatically signed in if you’re already logged in on your browser).
Note that:
- Your username is not the same as your BYOND key, so your playtime will not be the same. at some point it’ll be possible to link your ckey to the forums so we can sign you into your usual key, but that’s not today,
- This also applies for anything using the database, so avoiding bans in any sense (jobbans, tempbans, permabans) will be escalated to a permaban for multikeying (on both your byond key and forums account).
Discord Authentication
You can now also use your pre-existing Discord verification for this, which allows you to sign in as your usual ckey, retaining your usual characters and hours. You have to have previously verified with Discord - this does not work for new users.
