Will mentors be paid for our hard, tireless work training countless noobs (new players)? Will the servers have a pop cap? Will every round have the tank? Food for thought.

Ten bucks says that someone is going to give the new players OT nades for fun.
The amount of times Iāve seen req trying to convince new pvts to take a grenadeā¦.

I think itāll be a bit chaotic for a while with a lot of new players, but thatās what us mentors are here for, right?
On the note of population caps, I wonder if BYOND even has the infrastructure to support some sort of queue system.. If so, I canāt wait to wait in queue for half an hour :D.

We wonāt get +300 players because people are memeing on the steam discussion boards 
. The two most popular topics currently are āThis game sucks assā and āTHWOMPER RUINED THE GAMEā

I absolutely look at the steam boards to see what the discussions are like before I decide to try a game or not. Theyāre kind of better than reviews in some instances - in terms of issues the game has, because the reviewer canāt stop people from replying. Also itās great as an indicator of general activity surrounding the game. New people likely wonāt understand that weāre already well established on discord, forums, in-game, github, etc. for ~10 years or whatever, and that people are treating the steam boards as āacid goop but worseā
we didnt have queue with seth tide happened

i feel left outForums aside I think there will be a cascading effect where people will see the friend is playing notification and check it out. Plus it will begin to fill suggested playlists for people. Especially the F2P crowd. This could be huge..

I would honestly apply to help out if it didnāt require a whole complicated app for it (I never looked at the app but I was a goonstation mentor for years.) We might also need a xeno based mentor strain for the new incoming wave

its called an imaginary friend, donāt think we need a whole new strain/caste just to teach new xenos, there are tutorials and other xenos who can help

XEA is realā¦
Imaginary Friend works fine for it, really.
Youāre more than welcome to try and apply; the application process obviously differs from GoonStations, but if you believe that you would be a good fit and meet the basic requirements (Good conduct, game knowledge in most roles, xenomorph game knowledge.), it is easy enough to apply.
Because weāre the 
coolest ! Mentors cool , moderators.. uh.. uhm.. uhmā¦

Chaos will rule.
Youāre not looking at the correct place, youāre looking at the CMSS13 PLAYTEST forum, as opposed to the CMSS13 GENERAL forum.

apparently the playtest has a seperate store page (and discussion boards) - itās on the main one at CM-SS13 General Discussions :: Steam Community
thereās like two dudes who are unironically toxic about it with like 10 joke posts between. Seems normal to me

I donāt think the steam release is gonna blow out the pop instantly. If anything, the Server Maintenance yesterday (and hopefully the results) should be a net positive to Pop.
Itās more important that we do this to ensure CM lasts another ten years.
Wait, weāre in Acid Goop.

Harry now has to take a shot every time someone pings asking how to link their account.
