idea for singulo

[PKPenguin321]

basically if youve ever heard of "Twitch Plays Pokemon"

ghosts that orbit singulo get a button with a menu. the menu has 4 directions (up down left right) and a None button. when you pick one you set that to your vote, and the singulo gets a teeny tiny bit more bias towards the direction you chose. every ghost has this button and they can all vote. picking None will make you vote for nothing and your vote is not counted so you dont have to participate if you dont want

Something this amazing could never happen

Also voting none should cause it to just not move

[John_Oxford]

everyone voting none should upgrade it to the next sing stage.

add stage seven and eight, nine should generate a super nova and play the nuke annimation, because i totally know shit about astronomy

[Gun Hog]

I like the idea. Observe the singulo to get the voting menu, and have it pick() from a list of the registered choices every time it hits a move tick (This is how I would code it). Most of them will probably end up at Escape though.

I would just make it a special locking orbit, then you just use move keys to try to get it to go in one direction, and it just tailies up the move votes each move tick.

Yes, but it has to be anarchy mode. Democracy mode is for filthy casuals.

[Shaps-cloud]

Why can't we just let the people who are alive and playing the game appreciate how close they were to the singulo and managed to survive rather than let bored ghosts go out of their way to kill them, this is just deadchat meme pandering (and there's a reason admins ignore deadchat requests for ERT's/deathsquads/catastrophic meteors/round ender flavor of the month)

[Wyzack]

Yeah this will just be used to kill antags and be shitty

[Screemonster]

all I can see coming of this is ghosts steering it on a course through every escape pod and then beelining for escape every time it gets loose

it used to be the case that pulling that off with beacons took effort

This is why anarchy mode is a better choice for it. It'll have a general direction but be much more chaotic, and all the dead antags will also be trying to control it.

Only people who get killed by lord singulo can control lord singulo

i guess you could also make it an admin button idk

[Luke Cox]

No fun allowed

[PKPenguin321]

also the idea is that ghosts would have such little influence on the singulo that its movement would still be mostly random, unless there were alotta ghosts

[MrStonedOne]

This is why anarchy mode is a better choice for it. It'll have a general direction but be much more chaotic, and all the dead antags will also be trying to control it.

The issue is the singulo only moves once every 2 seconds (the other moving you see from it is it drifting in space like all things drift in space). So it would have to be democracy mode to some degree.

and all the dead antags will also be trying to control it.

Not sure what you mean by this? I don't think their status as anatg while alive will influence much. Vast majority of players would happily destroy the station as a ghost if they could get away with it.

I had started coding 3 years ago because I had this exact same idea, but I never ended up making it, and kept putting it off.
