Is Cak a ghost role or like getting borged or MMI'd?

Post by Doctor Pork » #243506

This may have been ruled elsewhere but I don't know where to find it. It's pretty rare and the first time this happened to me was tonight. I've never actually been a Cak and it wouldn't have been an issue if I wasn't a traitor first (since normally you don't actually have any "memories" at roundstart) I was pretty sure I was no longer an antag by my flavortext (Below) but what I really want to know is if I remembered any of my details. In this superniche situation I'm not sure exactly how much I remember.

When you become a Cak you are greeted with this:
Spoiler:
You are a cak! You're a harmless cat/cake hybrid that everyone loves. People can take bites out of you if they're hungry, but you regenerate health so quickly that it generally doesn't matter. You're remarkably resilient to any damage besides this and it's hard for you to really die at all. You should go around and bring happiness and free cake to the station!
Keeki's Memories:
Uplink Passcode: 983 India (PDA-Zoe Ramos (Assistant) ).
Code Phrase: Thomas Steele, creepy.
Code Response: deceit, Locker Toilets.
Time of death: 12:24
Objectives:
Objective #1: Steal the hypospray.
Objective #2: Escape on the shuttle or an escape pod alive and without being in custody.
The harmless part made me think "ok no longer an antag" even though it didnt clear my objectives but I wasnt sure where my memories start/end because I didnt want to past life but I though RnD might be happy with my code since they had my body and I still had 13TC left. I'd really love to get some input on it.

I always assumed it was an MMI situation and considered it being the same as getting your brain put in a mech.

Bring happiness and joy to the crew while trying to snatch that hypospray without harming anyone and preferably without being noticed. Or maybe whoo the CMO with your cake charm and convince them to give you the hypospray.

this was what i eventually settled on with the help of bgo-bandit tbh it was pretty fuckin neat until the warden literally ate my cake until i died plus it was pretty funny the reactions you get to being a cak "Oh hi kitty" immediately followed by "Wait what the fuck"

edit: keyboard was fucking up fixed my post to not look all fucked up

I'd say they're a MMI/borg, but I'm not speaking on behalf of admins, this is just my personal opinion.
The reason I say so is because you're putting their brain in it to give it sentience, and it makes sense that the person's brain is intact and the thing controlling it, rather then being replaced with another intelligence.

Really should just start clearing those memories, this is something that get ahelped frequently when traitors get borged and they still see their objectives.

Impressive but i'm not sure if that still counts as "dead" or not as far as code is concerned, since being borged will still count as dead so unless you had die gloriously you'll fail anyway. Maybe if you get put back into your original body?
CosmicScientist wrote:What if their laws change that doesn't prevent their objective (murdering)?
They'd probably go start murdering anyway, regardless of their objectives.
CosmicScientist wrote:What if they're doing a really niche route that will never come up of asking the roboticist to borg them, temporarily, so they can abused unrestricted access, they do their objective partway (steal the CE's locker, magbooties, RCD, drag it to the dorms, lock the door and make a false wall exit), get unborged and pick up their item? ... brb rolling traitor before anyone finds any bannable flaws in this.
I would say it'd be easier to store that in the body but all of that is in the "mind" and gets transferred so... congrats on the really ridiculous elaborate and intensely risky greentext maybe? I'd actually like to see that done sometime.

Your brain is directly transfered, so the memory/antag chain is unbroken. It's like borging/cloning.

only in 2017 do we have policy discussions about the nature of edible cats in our 2d atmos simulator.

It seems really weird though the sentience is by using a brain. It should just be a cute, [space] magical cake cat [aka ghostrole] [aka objectively cuter and less garbage pAI].

The real question here is exactly what kind of antag behavior can a cat made of cake undertake?
P.S. Shoot Dr. Allen on sight and dissolve his body in acid. Don't burn it.

this is technically inaccurate though. borging transfers your memories, but not your antag status.

If you get borged, then blown up, then your brain put in a human you would be a traitor again. Your traitor status never goes away, it is just constrained and overriden by your laws for the time that you are a cyborg.

True, but 99% of the time, when people ahelp "am I still an antag?" what they are really saying is "do I get to murderbone and shit," and it's an edge case that they'll ever cease to be a borg, so for all intents and purposes they're not an antag.

This. The only difference is there really isn't anything like the cyborg lawset stopping you; so I guess you can try to be an antagonist if you were before. I'd wish someone good luck when they're an edible cat that can't do much with that...

Neato, next time (unlikely as it may be) I'm a traitor Cak maybe I'll trash the bridge and make a huge frosty mess while spreading cakey joy to all. I really just wanted to give RnD my code so they could get those great illegal science levels, 13TC can buy sci some NICE things. :honkman:
