Water bottle slipping

yes this is a salt thread
who the fuck thought this was a good idea? I take issue with it because water bottles as slips are
-insanely plentiful
-not hard to reuse
-inconspicuous, until everyone eventually wisens up and starts to metagame that water bottles = danger
-annoying as shit
like, we had a clock cult round, and the cult was dropping water in the halls, and since everyone thought it was the janitor it was no big deal - then somebody cuffs you, takes off your radio, and converts you
other slips are still shitty, but I don't have a problem with them because they take some effort to obtain (though botanists growing bananas in bulk isn't much better) and are fairly obvious
that being said just because I hate them means nothing, that's what the thread is for, what are your thoughts

Be careful about talking about water slips, you might reawaken Emily Ranger.
This is a battle I already tried to fight and it didn't go well. Save yourself Qhopper,before it's too late.

You are all the worst kind of scrubs, real greyshirts use unmarked bottles from the biogenerator & the garden room filled with 50 water and refill at taps.

Wait bottles full of water slip you? Without being spilled first?
That's just plain silly the fairness of water slips was limited duration.

Wait so what is going on?
Is the actual Water Bottle slipping people even if the water is still inside the bottle?

Playing a bit makes it appear to be a whine about thrown bottles of water concealed behind poor communication.

Slipping is an infinitely abusable and shit mechanic for anything but placeables such as peels or soap. The mop is fine, but buckets, spraybottles and water bottles and the like are idiotic considering infinite water is available all over the station. Using a fucking camouflaged tile or lighting to further abuse it makes it even more dumb.
Everytime someone converts me I usually end up killing an idiotic amount of people via water slipping. It's just shit design.

I'd argue buckets aren't equivalent because there's a relatively small number of them and the effort it would take to obtain a large amount of them isn't worth it
Water bottles are a little too easy to meme on people with
Also yes sorry its the fact that they wet the floor, the bottles themselves don't slip people

You can get bottles from the chemist in literally infinite amounts. Beakers in night unlimited amounts. Large beakers if you just go to cargo with glass.
Git gud.

Remember that buckets can be made in the autolathe just like beakers.

One watermelon can make a 50 unit essentially resprited opaque beaker about more than 8 times because of a biogenerator cost of 5, for disposable water slips that fit in your pocket and can be instantly refilled individually via a tap.

I'm assuming shadow/etc are just bashing the shit out of me judging by the volume of posts so let me be clear
Beyond the initial salt I wanted to know what people thought of a low effort easily spammable slip - if you're getting buckets or beakers in large supply that's taking more effort than a vending machine
This isn't "SLIPS SUCK REMOVE" because that's an entirely different can of worms"

But you are, because you can do this with literally anything. Glasses from the bar, beakers. All of which are plentiful and not occupationally tricky to get. And a sink accessible from a workplace or the public bathrooms = easy.
Nobody cares Qbopper about you arguing in regards to how it's dealt via container, since beside from a bucket everything that pretty much holds reagents is a resprite of a beaker at a flat 50 units which causes a wet tile (and hence is not going to change at all, resistance is futile), we're just laughing at your squirming.

you have to spill it on the floor, usually people rushing into it will trip on it themselves and blame the janitor. Just check nobody is watching and empty some unmarked and opaque bottles from the garden full of water onto the floor and walk away or hide behind a plant pot or something for your victim.
- Double points if security or your targeted/accidental person drops what they were holding like a stun baton or a taser.
Alternatively you can pull them into it like a slow tactile clown slip.

No, but you can put the pills in a drink beforehand and force feed them the drink as fast as humanely possible or stunprod them while they are on the floor for a efficient kidnap to have your wicked way with them.
