Blob antag should override all other antag datums like brainwashing or Lunatic.

Post by Constellado » #722301

Earlier today I got blob infection, and as I was preparing an area for it, A heretic ascended and I got lunatic, which means I must follow their orders.

I am a blob.
I did blob things making sure to tell minions to not fight the heretic master.
I got close to winning.
I ended up stalling the round end because I would have killed my heretic master if I won. (but ended up going for the win anyway because it's absurd...) Many people were begging for me to end the round.

Can we make Blob be above all other datums so this cannot happen again? Thanks

Personally, I think this was a not the best ruling by WalterTruck. I would've been easier to just remove the lunatic tag and let you blob. Did the heretic even know you were a lunatic blob?
I normally go by Ricky. Tell me how'd I do here. :hug::beer: 𝒯𝒶𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒶 𝓈𝒶𝒷𝒶𝓉𝒾𝒸𝒶𝓁. :faggot::heart:

Ya. Common sense should really have won out the day there. The round can't end until the blob dies or wins. I'd just tell the blob they a blob and can do blob things and to go for the big blob W.

as much as blob brother is funny we should probably just clear other antag datums from blobs (or in policy terms, ignore brainswashing on blobs)

Yeah, blobs having other antag datums just gets fucky.

we were a week and one absent Melbert pr away from having a Valentine's blob policy thread, and we're the lesser for it.

If not in code, it makes perfect sense for me in-game that blobbing comes first.
feedback appreciated here <3

There was a round I played in a while back where a human blob infection got culted before popping

He could still make and use cult spells as a blob, particularly the EMP spell, cult helped the blob and the blob won, surprising no one

That is awesome emergent gameplay. Blob hungers for all, does not concern itself for little creatures on the station.

Brainwashing/construct orders/Silicon Laws -> Cult -> Revs -> Blood Brother -> Wizard Apprentice/Abductor Teams/Other niche antags -> Nuke Ops -> Traitors

Blob/Zombie -> Brainwash/Constructs/Silicon Laws -> Cult -> Revs -> Blood Brother -> Wizard Apprentice/Abductor Teams/Niche antags -> Nuke Ops -> Traitors
