Silently stalking the station, leaning against invisible walls, sitting on invisible chairs, eating invisible food: the mime has a connection to another world beyond the senses of mortals. The mime is the rival of the noisy clown, and usually has a higher standard for his silent pranks and invisible shenanigans.
Bare minimum requirements: Entertain the crew while keeping your vow of silence. Don't be a little shit.
License To Mime
No, it is not a license to be a shitter. Remember, you are still bound by the rules to be excellent to each other. Mimes are expected to "entertain" the crew and have some allowance to skirt certain rules in order to suit gimmicks. It is always safest to ask an available admin before carrying out a gimmick that pushes or crosses a line to make sure you have their approval.
Unlike the clown you should generally not be entertaining via fucking with people; it is not nearly as funny when you're silent, it just upsets people.
The Entertainer
As the clown is here to prank people, and make them laugh, the mime is here to give a show to people! You are not a silly clown copy, you are a professional, and professionals have standards. Be efficient, be polite, have a plan to distract everyone you meet!
Embrace your inner artist and paint the station Red with many works of colorful or colorless art.
Like the Clown, you spawn in the Theatre and have access to all the costumes inside. Your PDA also can send 5 viruses to others on the message system, presumably making it silent.
Alt-clicking on your mask, or the action button in the top-left of the screen, allows you to express a variety of mime emotions.
Walls, Everywhere
A mime can create invisible walls that block the movement of any who attempt to pass them if they choose to learn it from their book of dank mimery.
It is unknown how, but people suspect quantum physics has something to do with it. Mimes can only manifest a wall every so often and the walls last for a few moments before vanishing; keep in mind, they can't keep out everything!
The Other Abilities
A mime can learn to create an invisible chair (useless) or an invisible box that lasts for some time from their book of dank mimery. They are not as often seen as the invisible wall, but a creative mime can find uses for them if they think hard enough and are willing to let go of their most robust wall.
Vow of Silence
You cannot talk unless you press the Speech button in your Mime menu. However, to speak as a mime is the ultimate taboo! A mime communicates through gesture. This is his art! Noise is the place of that wretched clown, not a true performer like yourself. In emergencies, a note on a piece of paper can do in a pinch. Such a critic. Make sure your gestures actually make sense to an observer. Use custom emotes to talk and your ass is going to get banned.
A few examples for your viewing pleasure:
WORST: Mimington mimes Person A murdering Person B.
BAD: Mimington mimes out Person A doing horrible things.
OKAY: Mimington points to Person A, mimics a cutting motion, and then gestures to Person B.
BETTER: Mimington mimics a stature similar to Person A's, and throws aggressive movements and stabbing motions.
BEST: Mimington lifts an imaginary knife and aggressively slashes it forward!
Person C: An assault, I guess? So it was a murder. Can you show us who did it, mime?
Mimington nods solemnly, and gestures toward Person A.
Important Note: [As of September 2018], mimes who are caught talking are considered valid. Avoid breaking your vow of silence at all costs!
Emotes
You can use the "me" command to emote anything you'd like, e.g. "Me waves to you".
There are also some built-in emotes in the game, some with special effects. Just use say and an asterisk before your emote, e.g. "Say *blink" (or use one of the below). Using the "me" command is essentially the same as using "say *custom".
aflap, airguitar, blink, blink_r, blush, bow-(none)/mob, burp, choke, chuckle, clap, collapse, cough, cry, custom, dap, deathgasp, drool, eyebrow, faint, frown, flap, gasp, giggle, glare-(none)/mob, grin, groan, grumble, handshake, hug-(none)/mob, johnny, laugh, look-(none)/mob, moan, mumble, me, nod, pale, point-(atom), raise, salute, scream, shake, shiver, shrug, sigh, signal-#1-10, smile, sneeze, sniff, snore, stare-(none)/mob, tremble, twitch, twitch_s, wave, whimper, wink, yawn"
Emojis
You can use your PDAs special cartridge to send people emojis, but not any text.
You can find the list of emojis and how to use them from your PDA by clicking on the emoji guidebook in the utilities section
For example :ai: :door:
Tips
- The Bottle of Nothing will heal a mime when drunk. The healing rate is 1 burn and 1 brute damage every tick. It can also be smashed over someone's head, dealing 15 brute, but this can only be done once and you're probably better off grabbing a welding tool anyways.
- The mime's wall works like a normal wall; It blocks lasers and disablers as well as bullets.
- Mime's suspenders can hold emergency oxygen tanks and other small items.
- The mime’s mask can be used for internals and does not need to be removed when eating or drinking.
- When you use the mime's crayon on a paper, the text is invisible and you can only see it by selecting it.
