Remove Monkey from Rotation Until It's been Reworked
This is a poll to determine if people would like to see Monkey Mode made admin-only until it's been worked on. Relevent threads exist to discuss how it could be fixed, but as we have no idea when that would actually happen, if ever, we could remove it for now.
Unless people really do want to keep it as it is.

It's broken and very unfun. Either make it admin-only or remove it entirely - at least until it's up to scratch with the other 'terrible' gamemodes. (If we're gonna have terrible modes, at least keep them consistently terrible pls).

Re: Remove Monkey from Rotation Until It's been Reworked
We should at least discuss how exactly it's broken and not fun. I enjoyed monkey mode a lot tbh, it's a bit of random survival nonsense that's a fun break from the normal subterfuge and destruction that ravages that station. The only things that should be fixed about it, that I can see at least, is the cure for jungle fever and the win condition.

Re: Remove Monkey from Rotation Until It's been Reworked
The most immedient problem with Monkey mode is that there is only one win condition, for there to be Monkeys on board the Evac shuttle.
Some quick ways to help alleviate this is to add the following objective/round ending conditions.
- Only Monkeys are on-board the emergency evacuation shuttle: MONKEY MAJOR VICTORY
- There are no living uninfected Humans: MONKEY MAJOR VICTORY
- There is at least one Infected Human on-board the emergency evacuation shuttle: MONKEY MINOR VICTORY
- All Monkeys and Infected Humans are dead: HUMAN MAJOR VICTOR
- Only Humans are on-board the emergency evacuation shuttle: HUMAN MINOR VICTORY
In addition, about 1 to 3 minutes after patient zero (The original infected humans) turn into Monkey's, the evacuation shuttle should be called and arrive within 15 or so minutes.
What these changes do is ensure there is a way to end the round without it turning into a awkward extended round, places a cap of a round time limit of about 20 to 25 minutes as well as gives more clear goals.

This poll is to simply determine if we should make monkey mode admin-only until its issues have been addressed.

Re: Remove Monkey from Rotation Until It's been Reworked
it's fine to take it out, i didn't really expect it to be in heavy rotation or anything. it's a silly blow-off-steam mode.
Re: Remove Monkey from Rotation Until It's been Reworked
I think I would like it better if there was a way to protect yourself from being bit. So far I've tried fire suits and bio suits and EOD. Nada. You can't beat a monkey off before it can bite you. And most players don't have guns so you have to get close to fight them.Cheridan wrote:it's fine to take it out, i didn't really expect it to be in heavy rotation or anything. it's a silly blow-off-steam mode.

Monkeys are supposed to use gorilla warfare since they can't really do anything offensive but bite and convert people. They can't use guns so if you let one get close to you it's supposed to be gg imo.
