Fungal Tuberculosis is something else

There was a fungel turburculo outbreak once. I was fatmos tech so I cut wall into janitor closet and stole his biopants until I got vaccined

More content means more fun.

Oh god no, that's most certainly not the case in general.

I think the way Goonstation solves this is by having everyone get the traitor item of their job + one from a random other job. I sort of missed the obvious solution in my previous post, whoops

In this case, it looks fun to me

Job specific traitor items give your job away yet are seriously useful, more so than items that can be bought by any traitor.

At least that's how it is on goon. Also that they can be found in the crates that take all of your TC.

[lumipharon]

Job specific tator items 'giving you away' implies you leaving them lying around for people to find, or release viro exclusive traitor virus/botanist exclusive killer cabbage etc and sticking around at your job to get caught.

I don't see the problem here, especially conidering most jobs have more than one slot on top of that.

[DrPillzRedux]

Meant for things like clown, where roundstart slot space is one.

[Zilenan91]

Well yeah, for jobs like the Clown, the clown had the clown car. Now I don't know if any of you have ever actually experienced the horror known as the Clown Car, but it is a murderous honkstrosity of horrific proportions. When you spawn that thing in you ARE NOT GOING TO BE QUIET. You are going out to hit and kidnap as many people with your car as possible before driving directly into a gibber/the singularity. Getting caught isn't really something you worry about when you spawn that shit in.

tl;dr job specific traitor items are a good idea

[DrPillzRedux]

The powergame thing now is to keep internals running all round. I really don't blame anyone. It spreads quickly and unless medbay organizes (good luck for a light to no RP server) the whole crew gets it within 5 minutes.

[1g88a]

I like a lot of goon's job specific items, the only definitely bad one I know of is the now-removed toolbox of doom known as His Grace (Chaplain), a super weapon that gained strength with every victim you stuffed into it as well as buffing the wielder, eventually even gaining a door-shattering meteor effect when thrown. Worst of all the more it was fed, the hungrier it got, forcing the wielder to constantly murder or else they too would be eaten. Anyone who picked up the box was also compelled to murder.

This almost always resulted in an unending massacre as the weapon changed hands, or worse, a tryhard taking down the chaplain early and singlehandedly murdering the entire station

[lumipharon]

That sounds hilarious.

I really see no reason to not have job specific items, considering that would be optional (I presume?) anyway.

[Zilenan91]

Yeah His Grace was hilarious. At first. It eventually turned every round into turbo-toolbox-murder The Game and wore thin.

[Alex Crimson]

That sounds hilarious.

Hell you could make the job-specific items available to every traitor, but at double the cost if they are not the right job class. So you could frame people!

...but yeah, we have needed job specific traitor items for a long time now. Im sure we have several archived threads full of item suggestions, its just no coder felt like actually doing the work.

[Incomptinence]

Traitor items were glorious and it was a brilliant way to make less robust jobs more equal at traitoring while making powerful items on the menu not be present EVERY SINGLE ROUND.

Also it brought the resplendent glory of the port-a-poo.

Wait was the idea to lock the items behind a specific job slot? Wouldn't it make more sense and be less meta to have the objects available to all traitors but just job specific in function?

[Lumbermancer]

It's fun when you get Virus box in surplus crate, along revolver and some ammo. Then you can walk around putting people out of their misery.

[Incomptinence]

That point is so silly they still have generic traitor items so it is a choice, the botanist can choose to go for generic esword 2000 or his own better chainsaw. Not that virologist if they had a specific out of the box death plague would really work for this as the guy who released it just had perfect wind up to disable all the virology machines yay.

Who the hell manages a perfect disguise otherwise, tries to kill someone (if it isn't a direct weapon why are you pulling it out in company?), is disarmed of the weapon, remembered to have fingerprint proof gloves too hope those weren't from your department, runs away from a lost fight without bleeding, and despite obviously being disguised already returns to their job after dropping a job specific weapon?

Like I think I remember one of the points against job specific items I got out of someone once was that oh no my coworker could also be a traitor use it and get me as a unlikely second traitor in the same job in trouble! Alas cruel fate!

[MisterPerson]

Uhh guys job specific traitor items are completely off topic. Please take it to another thread so this one can go back to focusing on the virus itself.

Fungal tbc is just so much more powerful than anything you can make in viro.

Why do we tone down bombs traitors can buy so they are less powerful than what scientists can make, but do we give traitors shit thats way more powerful than what the viro can make even with unlimited resources and unlimited time?

[Wyzack]

Viro really needs to be less of a shitty annoyance and more deadly but apparently the code is ancient and shit and HG wanted to remove it entirely so i cannot see that happening short of a total overhual

[confused rock]

I think this must be the source of conflicting playstyles. I came from a SS13 server and I learned by fixing the round instead of resetting it. It's kind of sad when something as simple as a syndicate bomb causes the shuttle to be called, rather than 20 sheets of metal putting 11 TC to waste.

Yea, this reminded me how stupid it is that the shuttle is always called.

[Incomptinence]

Eh should still be in the game. Just not a generic traitor item.

Maybe if progression ling comes back they can have it, keeping it with nukes for now would enable siege type release and recall approaches instead of dakka blitz. Maybe I dunno viruses are cool purge the weak.

[Zilenan91]

Nah fuck this virus. It's cancer and overpowered. It isn't even charming or iconic like GBS/Pierrots throat is either.

People like you are why we no longer have those fun things.

[Zilenan91]

Those viruses happen in cargo events occasionally and they're hilarious because they kill everything.

Lmao I think you have a sick sense of fun because this is far from any kind of fun

[oranges]

It literally makes virology important by simply shitting all over the round and everyone elses fun, so it should go.

There are better ways to make virology part of teh game

[J_Madison]

Fungal TB nerfed.

next patch, fungal tb is removed from traitor.

[NikNakFlak]

You had your chance, support the revert now because the "removal" is gonna take 10 years just like this "patch" did

[NikNakFlak]

Wow what a dirty little scumbag you are J_Madison

don't mind kaze he's an silly boy and one of the saltiest players on the server after blue "NIGGERSJEWCUNTKIKECUCK IN OOC THAT MEANS I WIN EVEN THOUGH YOU KILLED ME" space

This.

[PKPenguin321]

the other day i was viro and this virus got out while i was distributing my healing viruses. i caught it in front of cryo and the second i had it i scanned myself and saw it was stage one, and ran to the medivend just five steps to the east. i vended spaceacillin and the other thing and popped the pill and was about to inject the spaceacillin when i started puking and passing out and was chainstunned for about five minutes before i could create a cure, despite going to treat the virus the second i got it. by the time i was handing out cures, most of the crew was already dead, especially around medbay.

who the fuck thought this was a good idea in the first place?

[callanrockslol]

I released it to a bunch of people and nothing came of it, needs a buff.

[Incomptinence]

You sure some badmin didn't delete it because they hate the game?

[Zilenan91]

admins have said they'd delete it if it gets out because it's cancer.

[DemonFiren]

It's more like AIDS, tbh.

[J_Madison]

They need to get good.

Literally put on internals or sterile mask to avoid getting infected now.

Medhuds exist for a reason.

Also fungal tb is restricted to NukeOps currently.
