Revenants, Transmit, and Antags
Posted: Thu Jan 07, 2016 7:48 pm
I don't actually think that I've seen anyone bring this up before, so I figured it'd be worth asking about.
Recently over the last few weeks, I've traded traitor for revenant a fair bit, and been going around using Transmit to talk to people or push them towards evil/antag stuff, actually trying to put some RP into it. The results have been rather lackluster or just outright disappointing, due to what I assume is likely a fear of bans/punishment for doing antag things as a non-antag.
Given that it's a Revenant ability to transmit and talk to the crew, and that they're an antag tasked with sucking souls out and doing spooky shit, it seems to me like they ought to be able to actually push people to doing antagonistic things, and that people who're pushed to doing that should be given a pretty good bit of slack. Granted, it should actually require some RP and effort, so that you don't get people just going "lol kill dis guy plz" with transmit and it giving everyone the free green light to get their valids on, but if there's actual effort put into it, then it ought to be able to allow people to do at least something.
Thoughts?
