Remove Grey Tide From The Game

[Steelpoint]

Bottom post of the previous page:

The event is still a bad addition, the fact we got a tool that negates it to a extent is besides the point.

if prisoners escape its clearly the warden fault for being
1.not in brig
2.not paying attenion

[TheNightingale]

Reminder: not every round has a Warden.

[iamgoofball]

nah instead I'm gonna make it effect a random department instead

[Incomptinence]

Yeah that's fair.

If some anti sec career shitter then pops a vein over it happening to them and not a big bad brig well tough titties.

[yackemflam]

Besides the point that the warden should be in fucking brig for most of the game?
Do yer job.
Don't like it?
Go play HoShitcurity/sec officer.

[cocothegogo]

this is stupid this event rarely happens and when it does nobody is in perma stop trying to remove stuff because you were playing sec and it happened once to you

[onleavedontatme]

CJ has a point. It's happened only 97 times in 1210 rounds in the last month.

[Incomptinence]

Probabilities can be changed for events. Anyway nothing wrong with being fair and unpredictable.

This event is fine, I would like to see it to multiple departments though(since we have the remotes anyway, so you don't need to rely on having an AI to that)

[Saegrimr]

Make a rare variant called Commandtide where all maint doors bolt open.

Yeah its called "Boris Pepper found an emag"

Hang on. Doesn't security have one of those remote door controllers? Those can unbolt airlocks.

They seem to be gone?

Didn't see one in my HoS locker the other night,

Kor gave it to the Warden.

I disagreed but you can't fight city hall sadly.

(Also amusingly still has full security access, HoS Office and all)

[Malkevin]

I thought it ran off the access on your id card?

no dude it has access built in for traitory uses

Ayy lmao I just wanted to pop in from coding hell because this:

The Grey Tide Virus is one of the most obnoxious things that can happen to sec, it is a RNG fuck you to security. Not to mention it can oft happen at the worst possible time.

No other department has a giant 'fuck you' event that can randomly occur.

Is utter garbage. Dealing with RNG fuck-yous is the entire point of Space Station 13. You're on a space station where shit goes wrong. This is one of the forms of shit that can go wrong. Learn to deal with it.

"Learn to deal with it" aka execute all capital criminals.

yeah if you wanna be ULTRA OPTIMAL GOTTA GET THE REDTEXT VROOM VROOM GOTTA WIN
or you could just deal with them once the doors open so it's an actual fight that might have a chance at... being fun?

[Incomptinence]

Personally when I rarely play a sec authority position avoid using violence as much as possible because I like a live capture and hearing their whines.

Oh also to avoid the AI's furry but hey being smart and actually changing behaviour to avoid conflict with the AI is out of fashion ain't it penguin?

[iamgoofball]

Grey Tide overhaul has been merged.

Expect fun results.
