Bottom post of the previous page:
What is talk/type baiting?Talk/type baiting is the act of baiting someone to open the chat window before stunning/attacking them. An example, The HoS walks over to a station engineer, he asks the station engineer "Why did I see you walking around medbay maint?". The station engineer goes to respond by opening the talk menu. As soon as the HoS sees the typing indicator he draws his stun baton and stuns the engineer. This gives the HoS a massive advantage in the fight making the engineer's chances of winning essentially zero. Even if the HoS didn't land the stun, the engineer must quickly react and close the window putting him at a disadvantage.
Why is it bad?
Because it's an obvious abuse of the game's shortcomings. Baiting someone to open the talk window is about as nrp as you can get. It makes fights boring and ruins any hope of roleplaying with someone who might be dangerous. I can't think of anything positive type baiting adds, so why allow it?
For normal crew, Rule 12, because it's just playing to win. Ideally it would also be banned for antagonists too but currently I'm not sure if it would work with rule 4. Type baiting while similar, isn't abusing/exploiting bugs it's just abusing an engine flaw.
So! Should it be against the rules or Is it just a "skilled tactic" that should be allowed?
