Just to make sure, Straight-jackets are for Griffers only, not tators, right?

[Aseaheru]

The jacket in perma or the one in medbay?

Medbay is for hose who go nuts (probally drugs) same with perma's.

[Tsuchigumo550]

I say straightjacket for grif or for people already in deep enough shit to go perma who fight EVERYTHING, though not permanently for nongrifs.

[Corai]

There is literally no way to get out of a straight jacket unless someone takes it off, i'd never use it on anyone except a griefer solely so the traitor/cultist/whatever has a chance of actually escaping.

[Aseaheru]

We seem to have greefer.

This. I'd equate jacketing someone who isn't griffin (other than as a short-term solution to not having any cuffs and promptly taking it off as soon as you do) with griefing, because you're completely removing someone's ability to participate in the game. It's basically equivalent to killing them; the only difference is that they need someone to take it off, rather than someone to clone them, and the latter is actually more likely, especially if you're jacketed in perma.

What I'd really like would be the ability to resist out of a straightjacket, but require something like 5 minutes without interruption. After you succeed, you're still wearing it, but can act freely as if it were a normal garment, while to everyone else it looks like you're still safely jacketed. That would add a much more interesting level of depth to it.

IRL, you can get out of a straightjacket, provided you know what you are doing and are sane enough to control your movements.

Exactly my thoughts when I typed that. There are reasons for having it the way it is in-game, but if we have griefers and no admins are on it would honestly just be easier to space them.

[Cheedows]

Honestly if it is a griefer people would just execute them out of spite, I've never seen someone actually use the strait jacket for it's purpose.

If the server's compiled in 500, you can't connect to it with older versions. We're probably 500 compatible if we're even remotely up-to-date with /tg/.

My 498 would beg to differ.

Can't you install 500 and then overwrite with the 498 byond.exe?

I have 499.1201 and have had it since it was the newest version. Never messed with it so I assume if the server is compiled in 500 that is not the case.

The server currently runs on 498.1163

So someone mentioned on the server that improvised shields could be cool. I decided to sprite what it'd look like in-game.

Scrapper Shield


Metal + Welder (Welds it into a shield shape) + Wrench (Adjusts it for grip).

The revolutionary's answer to the riot shield. Makeshift metallic shield made from scrap that blocks things. It really hurts to get smacked by this, and it blocks all melee attacks. However, you can be pushed with it unlike the riot shield and it can break apart after ten or so hits.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Hmm. I do like that, considering that my favorite thing to do after raiding the hilariously low-security Armory is to don riot/gladiator gear and go ion-lasering/ threatening to GLADIATE with the riot shield.

Why the hell do the syndicates even want a shotgun? Considering they have much better ballistic weapons it just doesn't make sense. And RP wise people usually don't care too much if you stole it in an emergency.

Framing someone? Sneaking it into a facility where those higher tech weapons would be detected? Modifying it and replacing another existing shotgun with it?

Or maybe a Syndicate head just really wants an old-fashioned shotgun, and they aren't easy to come by anymore.

[Fniff]

"Can't we just like, make a shotgun in the NT style?"
"Look, I really want an NT shotgun. Is that too much to ask?"
