EVENT: Fascist Work Station (DELAYED)

QuartzCrystal · Sun Apr 05, 2015 2:33 pm

Hey folks, sometime this week I will be hosting and running the event "Fascist Work Station" which was discussed (here: https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=2617).

This thread is so people can voice which day they prefer (post) and which server this should be run on (vote in the poll). This thread will also be shared leading up to and during the event so players know the basic rules.

In a nutshell: The station is basically a gulag and the whole crew live in constant fear of their lives while they work on it. Security patrol the halls and make sure everyone is working their hardest and producing results for the glory of Nanotrasen. The hierarchy of the station is as such: Captain > HoS/HoP > Warden > security team (includes detective) > other command staff > rest of the crew. Security has full authorization to imprison employees who don't work hard enough and to execute those who refuse to work or do not live up to the expectations that Nanotrasen has for the.

The round will start off as extended and everyone will be expected to take on some more serious roleplaying (as in, regular crew will be expected to work hard be obedient, etc). I will be attentive during the round and give people traitor objectives as the round progresses. So to be very blatant: Do not fight security, start a revolution, etc without being given the explicit permission/encouragement to do so. All assistants will be arrested on sight and forced to get a job change. There will be various ways to get people back into the round, if security ends up executing a good portion of folks I'll turn on respawning for a bit to get folks back in the round. If you die do not be upset, you wont be out of the game long.

There will be other preparations I will do before the round. Read the other thread I linked above to get a better feeling on how this will play out. It's also important to note that for this event attempt, there will be no silicons. In other words, if someone does end up joining the round as an AI or borg at the beginning, I will be respawning them as humans. Roboticists will not make any cyborgs unless given explicit permission. The security officer cap will also be removed.

So what day works best for everyone in this next week?

Those two are synonymous. Which makes admins perfect candidates :^)

What about the mime, the clown and the lawyer? I do not expect security to force the clown to play jokes constantly.

Should they be replaced with some kind of crew encouragers spouting Nanotrasen propaganda?

dibs on that nigga who starts the revolution!

Also Saturday is a good day. Maybe 3 pm central?

That will be left up to the security team.

The clown will finally fulfill his true purpose as Security-exclusive piñata, I suppose.
And the mime will Owl.

There's an Owl Hardsuit in the code (it's a reskinned nuclear/traitor blood-red). If the mime is the Owl, they need this.
It can hold an active energy sword in its suit storage slot, or any baton, any (non-bulky?) gun, a pair of handcuffs, any ammunition or any oxygen tank.
It's like a Security Hardsuit but better. And it has wings in travel mode.

QuartzCrystal · Sun Apr 05, 2015 11:59 pm

There will be no Owl.

;-; why you do dis

No but seriously, this is, from what I've heard, intended to be a somewhat serious event, the Owl would be totally contrary to that goal.

Owl, defender of justice and protector of the innocent, they who stalk the night with wing and claw, delivering the law's divine might unto those who dare trespass against it.

Of course, they'd get hunted down and executed in minutes, but.

Maybe put an owl suit in the HoP's locker, and they swap identities (and get new owl objectives) halfway through?

I like the idea of the event. I also think that good time/date for the event would be Saturday April 11, 2015 at 3pm Central. If does end up being on a weekday I would think the evening would be the best time. I look forward to seeing if the heads that are considered lower (CMO, CE, and RD) will rise up with the crew and how they'll be treated by the HoS, HoP and Captain. Also will the date, time and place be posted on this thread? I would think so but I just want to make sure I don't miss it!

Voted for Basil because while the effort is admirable it doesn't sound like my kind of fun.

Then either unban JLP or just go with Byond RNG and see who gets the role.

FTFY, and someone call JLP. This is gonna be a field day for her.

Oooh, now I know how to make the Clown a valid addition to the crew.
He is meant to enforce the happiness of the crew. What better way to do this in a dystopia than to provide him with tactical clowning gear and heavy clown support? Oh, and tons of EMP beacons on that heavy clown support. The moment he HONKs someone who's actually working he's mincemeat.

MrBrownFullFrown · Mon Apr 06, 2015 1:47 pm

Correct me if i'm wrong, but it would appear as if you were implying it is not currently otherwise in practice. Practice being non-rp wise.

Jokes and fun aside, if you want to do this you should seriously limit who joins security. Or not, since the people that join security are more often than not hoping to abuse power. Which is the point of your event.

MrBrownFullFrown · Mon Apr 06, 2015 2:00 pm

Also just fakkin do the event. Events are fun.

QuartzCrystal · Mon Apr 06, 2015 3:12 pm

Oh wow those are some close poll results.

Dibs on Warden/HoS. Robustman reporting in!

I'd hope this is hosted on either Friday or Saturday.

ClumsyAlcoholic · Mon Apr 06, 2015 4:37 pm

What will science do?
Raise a revolution?
Or maybe...

My only problem with this is, that I'l probably miss it.

Pennwick · Post by **Pennwick** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 7:06 pm #80673

I voted Sybil but as long as I know ahead of time what day it'll be on I can can possibly learn Basil's map beforehand. Though maybe it would be more organic if I didn't since I plan on aiming to be CMO. I want to deal with the all the harmbaton shaped bruises that the spacemens got from falling down the stairs.

Edit: Forgot to say anytime late on Thursday to anytime on Saturday works.

Who needs to be robust when you have a valid reason to use chloral gas grenades?

ThanatosRa · Post by **ThanatosRa** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 8:14 pm #80689

Trying to figure out how quickly I could get into maintenance. Or maybe just be robotics like usual and build a bunch of drones.

Pennwick · Post by **Pennwick** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 8:30 pm #80693

Actually whats going to happen with maint? I almost think Assistant Maint should be off for this event. Far too easy for an assistant to avoid the draft if they can just slip into maint and hide forever.

DemonFiren · Post by **DemonFiren** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 8:36 pm #80695

That's when an overstaffed, overequipped Security force shooting to kill roams Maint in search of any illegals.

Not-Dorsidarf · Mon Apr 06, 2015 9:35 pm

HOS should get a mateba for dealing with dissenters.

Post by **lumipharon** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 9:57 pm #80714

Well, meta station armory DOES have a chance to spawn a mateba...

I think this would be amusing to play as a warden, or on the crew side, chemist or scientist.
We'll see I guess.

Make sure the time and date suits a broad range of timezones, so weekend for certain, someone figure out the exact time to work best for everyone.

intense sputtering NERF THE CONTRABAND LOCKER METACIDE I'VE TOLD YOU SEVERAL TIMES NOW

Yeah anyways this should be fun, count on my attendance to fill in some civillian role or supervise as an observer.

Not-Dorsidarf · Sun Jul 30, 2023 1:33 am

I'm fairly sure it actually spawns a Deagle, not a mateba.

on the subject of armory, READD ARMORY BOMBSUIT

Post by **lumipharon** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 10:39 pm #80730

The locker can spawn a stechkin (80% of the time), combat shotgun (10% of the time), deagle (5%) or mateba (5%). Those might nt be the exact ratios, but it's something like that.

Also it goes without saying, but I hope the admins will figure out well ahead of time how they're going to handle this, so things go smoothly.

Luke Cox · Post by **Luke Cox** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 10:50 pm #80740

The more I read about this, the more I think it could work as an actual gamemode. It'd be interesting to have a gamemode with the heads as the antagonists. Kind of like rev, but with the role of antagonist reversed.

Antimattercarp · Tue Apr 07, 2015 2:23 am

Likely gonna have to up the amount of sec for this.

QuartzCrystal · Tue Apr 07, 2015 4:35 pm

As I said, cap on sec officers will be removed.

I'm going to host this on Basil. I'm also leaning towards this being hosted Thursday evening (EST) or Saturday afternoon (EST). I'll keep you guys posted.

Pennwick · Post by **Pennwick** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 11:28 am #81219

Its Thursday. Any final say on what day it'll be?

QuartzCrystal · Thu Apr 09, 2015 3:47 pm

Gonna be Saturday or Sunday. Sorry folks, real life stuff is coming up.

Pennwick · Post by **Pennwick** » Sat Apr 11, 2015 7:03 pm #81674

Do we have a date on this? Is it even still happening?

QuartzCrystal · Sat Apr 11, 2015 7:55 pm

Still happening, some stuff's gotten in the way that's preventing me from being able to commit to hosting it. It'll be next week, I'll give 2 days notice minimum.

QuartzCrystal · Tue Apr 14, 2015 6:45 pm

This will be happening next week, real life stuff is getting in the way constantly and I'm unable to plan out when exactly I can commit to being online for an hour+ to run this. Going to tentatively say the 22nd at 8pm EST.

srifenbyxp · Post by **srifenbyxp** » Fri Apr 17, 2015 4:14 pm #82632

I would like to call dibs on HoS only IF by chance a large people who are refusing to work I may hold all of them indefinitely inside of a cell and throw a poly acid grenade inside of a chute leading directly to that cell with out ding dong Fenby you of all people should know better, why did you do this?.

Because I am the law and fuck the admins, NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, NOT EVEN THE ADMINS SO SEEING HOW I AM THE LAW THERE SHOULD BE NO COMPLAINTS RIGHT?

Most importantly for this event:
Rule 39 Standing in one spot for more than a minute is means for a brigging. Idle time leads to treacherous activity.
See this for your upcoming event security-

Just don't apply rule 39 to geneticists.

QuartzCrystal · Wed Apr 22, 2015 4:14 pm

I'm going to run this tonight. Later than 8pm EST though, probably closer to 10pm EST. If this doesn't work for you and you really want to participate, let it be known.

There's also a good chance I'm going to host this on Sybil.

TheNightingale · Wed Apr 22, 2015 4:15 pm

That's 02:00 GMT (UK time) tomorrow morning. Could someone save logs for me (or an in-depth summary) please?

Drynwyn · Post by **Drynwyn** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 4:17 pm #83355

10 pm tonight works for me.

QuartzCrystal · Wed Apr 22, 2015 4:19 pm

Oi I forgot about you Brits. This may be rescheduled then depending on how many more are gonna miss out who want to participate.

Also, inb4 this keeps getting rescheduled and delayed, then we eventually host it and it totally sucks.

QuartzCrystal · Wed Apr 22, 2015 10:05 pm

I'm officially the worst. Going to delay this event even further. Unstickying this thread as it's useless now.

A new sticky will be made when I can confirm 100% when this is happening.

Wyzack · Post by **Wyzack** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 10:16 pm #83457

>:C dammit tonight was perfect

Should this event be hosted on Sybil or Basil?
