About mutant races
/tg/ without liggers has been a wonderful experience for me so far. Can we keep it that way?

Is it that hard not to say the n-word that you resort to saying "ligger" instead?

But a good meme.
All you sluts crying about lizards are probably just assblasted that a lizard dunked them once

Re: About mutant races
Lizards are fine considering they're restricted from certain Jobs and lose Silicon protection. They're a ok side race to Humans and they don't appear in the majority.
Plasmamen will be acceptable since there are massive drawbacks to playing as one, most likely making them very rare to be seen on station.
Anything else would be too much in my opinion. The game should focus primarily on Humans with one ancillary race on the side, in this case Lizards. PMen get away with it due to them likely being just a footnote.

Re: About mutant races
i actually agree with OP
i can't say exactly why but it just feels like there's more going on in the game now
probably because every round there's at least one retarded confrontation that is "wow you are a lizard/human you are not my race fuck you," but now that lizards are gone that's not really a thing any more

Perhaps the problem with that was that our playerbase is retarded and thinks that being racist will earn them friends.

Re: About mutant races
Punishing extreme racism I guess, and by that I mean knowingly treating people like shit because of cosmetics. Nobody cares about passive aggressive ligger mentions, but doing things that will actively fuck over players rounds like locking them in cryo tubes full of morphine or jumping them in the bar or randomly demoting them to assistant for minor transgressions because they got scales should be punished more harshly.
Then again, I've had all of these things happen to me so maybe I'm a bit salty, but none of these should be okay.

Plasmamen are an intriguing addition, and actually look mechanically different, which suggests they're a better sort of lizard.

Re: About mutant races
Remove Lizards, remove Humans, remove Silicons. We Plasmaman station now
On a more serious sidenote, I think xenobiology should have more ability to convert willing (and unwilling) crewmembers into other mutant races with the upsides/downsides that come with them. They can already do that with slimepeople but xenobiology is pretty uninvolved with the station when compared to the other science departments like RnD and Robotics
An example of a mutant race they can convert others to is Shadowpeople (not shadowlings that would be too funoverpowered) who'll probably be most popular when all the lights blow and nobody can be bothered to fix them, or, used by a murderous xenobiologist to kill someone in broad fluorescent light and/or convince everyone they're a Sling and let the grey lynch mob chase them for their valids
I would probably keep the antag races out of the list of mutant races since that would make things too blurry, it already get's fairly confusing with xenobio Changelings.

Re: About mutant races
I don't know if xenobio should be able to turn people into plasmamen because they wouldn't like, suddenly grow an environment suit or anything.
You can say that would be intended but it would probably end up being fairly undesirable.

Re: About mutant races
Well you'd grab a spare/print a suit off/get one from a vendor or what-have-you and put one on before doing the conversion if you wanted to be one, the suits aren't injection-proof so no need to worry about that and you're an idiot if you didn't grab a tank of plasma from atmospherics/toxins. And it'd be a pretty impressive way to kill someone if you were someone less-than-wholesome.

Re: About mutant races
Lizards can be reenabled without any issue now on sybil (and bagil if it updates) by readding:
To game_options.txt
If you want to be fancy you could also add:
To game_options.txt for future shenanigans.
And no this doesn't mean plasmamen are fixed, just that races are now properly separable so lizards can be on while plasmamen are off.
Code: Select all
JOIN_WITH_MUTANT_RACE
If you want to be fancy you could also add:
Code: Select all
## Roundstart Races
##-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Uncommenting races will allow them to be choosen at roundstart while join_with_muntant_race is on
## Disabling humans is possible but a bit buggy. Some code relies on the notion that white people exist in space.
ROUNDSTART_RACES human
## Races that are strictly worse than humans that could probably be turned on without balance concerns
ROUNDSTART_RACES lizard
#ROUNDSTART_RACES fly
#ROUNDSTART_RACES plasmaman
#ROUNDSTART_RACES shadow
#ROUNDSTART_RACES shadowling
## Races that are better than humans in some ways, but worse in others
#ROUNDSTART_RACES jelly
#ROUNDSTART_RACES golem
#ROUNDSTART_RACES adamantine
#ROUNDSTART_RACES abductor
## Races that are straight upgrades. If these are on expect powergamers to always pick them
#ROUNDSTART_RACES skeleton
#ROUNDSTART_RACES zombie
#ROUNDSTART_RACES slime
#ROUNDSTART_RACES pod
##-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Re: About mutant races
All you'd have to do is automatically do what Pete did when he removed hands and feet, move the damage/health values around, probably a species datum proc, setup_limbs() or something.
eg, I'd knock 5 off of arms and legs (75 -> 70) which makes 20 damage there, and maybe leave it there, giving lizards a (weak) but extra limb.

Re: About mutant races
Outside of Dismemberment somehow being finished the addition of a extra limb for Lizard's won't be any balance issue.
Hmm, well it depends if the tail is covered by armour or not. Could be a minor weak spot.

Re: About mutant races
With the impending addition of plasmamen, I feel like lizards should have a few weaknesses in addition to being nonhuman. Not as extreme as plasmamen, but still present. Perhaps they should be more vulnerable to cold, or something along those lines.

The whole point of shitting on lizards is to discourage people from trying to be special snowflakes, and it's the only thing going against them other than nonhuman status.

Re: About mutant races
If someone is being a special snowflake (something we don't really have a problem with currently) then call them on their shit in OOC or after the round if they're being annoyingly snowflakey. One of two things will happen, they'll cut it out or they'll keep doing it and get ridiculed until they stop.

Re: About mutant races
Honest to god, one of the hardest things about getting people to open up to the idea of Plasmamen was the fact that lizards had made such a poor first impression as nonhumans. It's too bad, because nonhuman races are very cool, and add variety and roleplay potential. If people are interested, and like what I've done with Plasmamen regarding racial traits and drawbacks, I would be happy to try and tackle lizardpeople next. By giving them a few cool traits in exchange for a slew of drawbacks, they'd be brought into line with Plasmamen, so to speak. I think this would potentially fix a lot of the problems that people are upset about right now, where they're basically reskinned humans with a motive to start race wars built in, and are typically played by people who want to meme and start fights. If they were made to be more of a "hardmode" as Plasmamen are, the people who still really love lizards would still play them, less shitters would be drawn to them, and you'd likely see less of them as well as less "race war" type activity aboard the station - not to mention the roleplay opportunities that playing a functionally different race would bring.

Re: About mutant races
I believe that lizards/cat-people are hated because people associate them with "furry" fetish communities, which are viewed in a negative light themselves. It is an extension of the behavior found in high and middle school children, who ostracize the others based on traits or preferences that differ from their own. As this practice is not openly tolerated in real world public space, the opportunity to express a modified version of the behavior is present here in this community; An opportunity that is used as frequently as possible.
Plasmamen, on the other hand, have no such associations. Furthermore, flaming skeletons are much more accepted as masculine and 'cool' than lizards or cat-people. I expect their addition to be well met once any balance issues are ironed out.
