Sorry guys, I'm not gonna role-play as hollywood sugar glass, fit only to be dramatically burst through, as you leap through me, bursting me into millions of slow motion shards, while all your adoring fans oooh and ahhh at your robust skills.MrStonedOne wrote:oranges wrote:sec is not anti antag outside of rev or cult, please stop that meme.
Outside of rev or cult you're there to make the antags have a sense of paranoia as they attempt to achieve their objectives without getting caught, not to chase them all down and smash their heads in as you triumphantly masturbate over the redtexts they receive.
I wanna play the game too godamnit! I will continue to hunt antags of all flavors, tiders as well, I'll proudly enjoy redtext when I receive it, and in all ways not hand out victory at my own expense.
this is the game we have in front of us, and I'm playing it the only way it makes sense from my side of the curtain. If you wanna bitch about validhunters ruining antag rounds, bitch at the tiders who run around with a hidden stunprod in their backpack waiting to see you slip up and reveal your emag in your hand so they can run you down and cave your fucking skull in, because if you're gonna vantaghunt, the least you can do is declare your intent with an obvious bright red uniform.
Even if I tried to grind off my jagged edges for your comfort and to fulfill this mythical idea of being a 'buffer' to inspire 'paranoia' among traitors, How am I supposed to do that when I'm also not supposed to treat them as what they are, The primary threat of the round. How is it a threat that inspires paranoia if I'm not a threat that inspires paranoia!
What would you have me do? play catch and release?
That paranoia vanishes once the fear that one false move may lead to a heart pounding fight that may end in terrible failure, and a big bloody pool at your feet. It cheapens the victory if I pat you on the knee and release you to go try again at your mission, and I don't want that for my traitor rounds or my security rounds, and if you really thought about it, you don't either.
Now, I'm a sporting guy, If I catch someone in a lag storm with an emag in their hand, or one in a million odds happen by chance, I'm not gonna go full rambo, but If I legitimately catch you with your hand in the cookie jar, I'ma do my best to take the hand.
If antag hunting is going to exist, and it always will, you should save your ire for the people who won't even put on the oft despised red suit and wade through the piss, spit, shit and vomit like the rest of us, because honestly, antag hunting as a random asshole is easier, you got the element of surprise, the greatest weapon on station, but with security, you know exactly what you are up against. and that if given the chance, they will end your traitorly rampage in it's tracks by either locking you in a small room and forgetting you, or bashing your evil brains out on the floor.
Is it any less a department culture for security to enjoy stomping nefarious plotters, than it is for cargo to abandon the union of centcom and defect to found the new nation of cargonia? Or the assistants to band together and break shit faster than it's built as part of the grey tide?
Why do we glorify an assistant who beats all the odds and kills his would be assasin, but when an officer does it, he's ruining an antags round, by being a valid hunting shitlord fun police?
I'm not saying redtext at any costs "bomb the shuttle yehaw" here guys, Or "only death can passify the gimmick peace-wizard who wants to join botany and grow dank weed."
But this anti-sec/anti-antaghunter meme merge needs to stop, if you're going to hunt antags, there should be a home for you on this station, and it should be in security.
