Spess

Roughly 3 hours are left, until it all begins, so now is the time to prepare for it:

First of all you'll need BYOND. You can download it from here: http://www.byond.com/download/
If possible, make an account too and log into it in your client.

Server will launch at 19.00 GMT+1 for you to pre-download the game-resources.
How will you join? Either open run.exe or Firefox, and enter the IP. It will look similar to this: byond://XXX.XXX.XX
Once entered, it will launch another BYOND window that connects to said IP and downloads the resources.

Now that the basics are done, what should you do?
If SS13 is completely downloaded, you'll end up at the menu screen. Press on [SETUP CHARACTER].
A window will pop up that'll allow you to create and customize your character. That should be pretty self explanatory (When you're done creating your char, make sure to save setup!).
What we want to do is click on the [OCCUPATION PREFERENCES] button. Click on Assistant and make sure it says [yes]. Why, you ask? So we can group everyone together and make the station tour easier. After that you can check game-preferences if you want to be an antag/traitor during the round.

Once that is done, you're pretty much good to go!
But wait, how do I spessman? What is air? Why am I suddenly drifting off into space?

Now's the time to read some guides. I have two available for you.
First one is from my infographic and I hope it makes several things clear that the wiki might not.
