make assistants grey-t again

Please turn off rainbow assistants. I think it's honestly nice to switch every couple years to break up the monotony of assistant colors but I do really miss that classic grey wave of griefing. It'll be refreshing!

I really have no other argument than that. It's up to you, head admins! Meet me (and my based boys in grey) halfway!

There is a certain mental effect the grey suit has on the assistant players. Grey man see other gray man being arrested? He is part of my clan, me protect. Detective lethal grey man fellow grey friend? BUNGA! The greyshirt solidarity is the best thing about the job. RPig nerds and unrobust security members quake at the sight of the sheer, raw, tostesterone reeking sight of the greytide working as one unit, as a hivemind, one in purpose: to tide stationeide.

Made an account just to say that i support bringing back the classic greys, plus we already have tons of lockers on every single map in rotation with different colored jumpsuits. Reject modernity, embrace tradition. :unknownman:

Paprika was retarded for thinking jumpsuit colour had anything to do with greytiding. That said, I like both grey jumpsuits and coloured ones.

Would be great if anyone had ever even considered thinking of a way to incentivise assistants to assist or players to ask for their help

I'm with you on this, I just think it'd be nice to switch since we've had the rainbow for awhile now. I wanted to switch to rainbow way back when because we had grey for a long time

i was thinking and this is meant to stimulate discussion not be the Final Solution on jumpsuits but something like new assistants spawn grey while the originals spawn multicoloured or vice versa. best of both worlds. might come in handy for differentiating them in a superficial easily fooled way for whatever foreseeable reason. but this isn't the idea this is a potential precursor for the actual idea

You want grey back then offer up assistant maintenance access to them in exchange.

It would greatly incentivize people to play an actual fucking job and not just dick off all round fucking with people.

'Offer up maint access in exchange for return of your greyback meme' means that they still have maint access to lose, so not my fault you continue to misunderstand.

Being grey was removed because no argument is made in good faith about why they need to all be grey. Much like why they need maint-access. But head admins are weak babies and apparently we need Oranges to fix things. Stop being so petulant.

Edit: I figured I should explain the likely logic about grey removal, too, since it seems to need to be said. The job is useless, the players who do it generally enjoy being able to shit up the round, and being able to blend into a giant grey blob did not help this mindset. So it was removed, and it was a good change that should remain.

half the servers would tell you that the colored jumpsuits aren't doing anything to stop greytide, and this is purely admin mindset that allows for it to happen as it always have been

Wasn't the reason nerv enabled gaytide for detective and shit? Idk if tiding concerns were even mentioned.

Regardless, I think a nice middle-ground would be switching between them every year or so. That way they each stay relatively fresh.

again some servers are like "absolute state of" levels right now of greytiding, it's 100% admin enforcement that is a problem if you think it's a problem. If someone wants to greytide and they are allowed to, they will. Simple as!

maint should be travelled so maint bases from team antags aren't invincible and unfindable
antags on jobs that dont have maint access should have the ability to kill an assistant for their ID
you dont need more reasons

There's a big difference than dicking around and greytiding. Also, you're playing a role playing game. LRP does not mean no RP, no matter how much Basil and Sybil wish it did.

How exactly will disabling maintenance access discourage tiding? Seems to me that without the distraction of maint, tiding will be one of the only things assistants have left. Furthermore, what the fuck does that have to do with making assistants grey again?

Can you guys take your assistant maint access discussion to the correct thread? You know, since there's actually one

My opinion on the grey-suits only is make a poll and see whats more popular. I personally don't care but let the people who cares vote on it and there you have it.

he is though because the issue is when it's the only thing the player does every single round, breaking into cap's office to start fights, get to crit and attack people, or become the strongest entity on the station and hand out all access to everyone else, throwing the entire round into a bender for people who just want to play...
it's just a cycle of self antagging. and admins rarely step in

LRP pretty much only means not breaking immersion, ie. not referring to the game as a game, talking about real life stuff unfiltered, etc.
You're thinking of MRP, which is what Manuel and Campbell are for
Not that I'm at all against anybody roleplaying more than they need to but if an assistant just wants to run through maint with a spear and patrol, why are you opposed to it? Live and let live.

And if it's somebody who breaks into caps literally every round to always start shit and steal the spare like arm says then maybe step in and ban him? Why do players need to lose freedom of expression in their playstyle because jannies aren't cleaning up? Pathetic.

The goal of removing maint access isn't to stop people from greytiding, it is to make assistant not a better job to antagonize as than other real jobs in the station people should be playing

DAMMIT I'M TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER THREAD AGAIN BUT LET ME TIE IT BACK INTO THIS POLICY THREAD:

I don't think grey jumpsuits will change greytiding just like how maint access won't. I just think it would be refreshing.
