Extended in rotation
Recently, extended was re-added to the rotation with a flat 2.1% chance.

Re: Extended in rotation
I think extended could be interesting if the players knew it was extended.
During a normal round I dont want to get invested in a big project only to have it all blown up 20 minutes in so in extended I end up milling about waiting for something to happen.
But if people knew it was extended and declared they were gonna colonize the asteroid today it could be fun.

Re: Extended in rotation
If you want to go that route, removing the automatic jump to Blue Alert for Extended would be a sufficient tell.

Re: Extended in rotation
Yeah, not knowing it's extended tends to put a damper on the round. It would be really great if it told you that it was specifically extended if it rolls it so you don't run around and autism up a bunch of gear instead of RPing.

Re: Extended in rotation
I thought the whole point of readding it was so that people would not arm up for validhunt immediately because there was a chance of no antags to hunt

If yall want a full out build round, just force an extended without secret. The whole point the 2% extended there is to put the doubt of powergaming in people's mind again.
I voted as is. It doesn't have to be common thing, it just has to exist.

Re: Extended in rotation
Extended is more-so your queue to RP without getting stunned and killed. Part of the reason why I arm up myself every round is because of the shit state our combat is in where stuns are so prevalent. If we made it more lethal I'd totally be around more doing stuff instead of loading up on spears.

Re: Extended in rotation
RP anyway, even if you do get stunned and killed. Eventually you get a reputation for being the sort of person that RPs things - and so people stun and kill you less. (Well, that or target you more, because you're an easier target...)

Notifying people its extended is harmless I suppose but jesus just make it admin triggered. Random extended is just awful when there's no buttons being pressed anyway, best case scenario is you get some construction gimmick.

Rename extended to roleplay and declare every problem an IC issue.
