Brainwashing and Hypnosis. Policy and Clarification's
Posted: Sun Aug 23, 2020 2:26 pm
In my time on Manuel, I'd say I've seen and heard of enough rounds where the lack of policy and clarification starts getting confusing. I've seen that while we have several functions for hypnosis and brainwashing, when one person has too many of these. It starts to get confusing, and in my eyes almost stressful trying to manage things. And while MRP benefits more from this as I've seen multiple antags pick up Hypnoflashes and Brainwash disc's more frequently there. The LRP servers can definitely benefit from some kind of clarification being out there for groundwork.
The 3 Major things that need to be clarified in my eyes at least are.
1. Brainwashing effects VS Hypnosis effects. A person can be both Brainwashed and Hypnotized, How should brainwash and Hypnosis work in case of conflicts?
2. Brainwashing effects VS Brainwashing effects. Groundwork Rules for Conflicts and should the most recent brainwashing instance be more important then previous?
3. Brainwashing effects and Hypnosis effects VS gaining Midround Antag status. What should happen in case of a mid-round antag status being gained during something like dynamic or adminbus
The Following don't or should not need clarification because of various fundamental reasons (Such as functions)
Hypnoflash instances. This extend's to the EIC (Enchanced Interrogation Chamber) which functions very similarly, albeit better. Hypnosis instances already override each other so nothing here needs clarification
What is considered Brainwashing? Brainwashing is it's own category of antagonist but Abductee from abductors is described and pretty much treated in a very similar sense, a point of contention here can be that Obsessed is a "brainwashed target" And that Mindshield implants remove Normal Brainwashing status
Brainwashing And Hypnotizing VS already obtained Antag Status. The major point of the Neural Imprinter, and EIC is that they can be used to not round remove antags when applied. This should probably be clarified, but not contested.
