Re: when the nut is so good it got me hypotized

I think there's a very good point people are ignoring because it comes from the mouth of someone who is regarded by others as an ass - you are never guaranteed sanctity of your character. I imagine people care more about the sanctity of their character on the MRP server, as well, since they have mo...

Re: when the nut is so good it got me hypotized

Re: when the nut is so good it got me hypotized

the consensus I'm seeing from this peanut and the policy thread is that people don't consider hypnosis fun unless it grants them the excuse to do more than they normally would as a non-antag, with as little extra fluff as possible, with the argument being that I should just convince other players to...

Re: when the nut is so good it got me hypotized

A lot of these gimmick hypnosis ideas don't actually preclude you from just jumping him with a stunprod the second you can. Some of them even encourage it (the art and church ones even feel like they could be a version of obsessed) I mean come on, "Make more art OF him," how much more &qu...

Re: when the nut is so good it got me hypotized

Next time someone gives me a stupid hypnosis gimmick I'm going to see if I can interpret it in the worst way possible and get away with it. For Example: >Pokemon Center: An excuse to rush as many gold slimes, monkey cubes, and lavaland mobs into medbay as possible. >Painting Gimmick: Stink lines, h...

Re: when the nut is so good it got me hypotized

I'll be honest you don't even need to be an antagonist or hypnotise people for the pokemon centre one or to run a ritual in the chapel you can just do those things and people will willingly volunteer because they want to do it. Those people then don't need to be coerced or contacted by admins becau...

the solution is not to worry about it so much, if you hypnotise 12 people and 4 of them dont do the thing you want them to do its ultimately not a big deal ahelping in advance of you knowing anything has happened is transparently wasting admin time; you could do that before taking literally any gam...

Re: when the nut is so good it got me hypotized

I frankly think the ruling is awful. The rule breakers can still arbitrarily decide something is unfun and the same level of administrative action is going to be taken, being little to none, but now if you as the hypnotizer don't hypnotize to very specifically further your antagonist objectives (obe...
