Let ghosts click on coffins in a dark chapel and make them rattle

Let ghosts posess bed sheets to spok

Ghost interactions were removed because people always used them to communicate with ghosts and let them betray who the antags are.

revenants should be able to click on a bedsheet to become permanantly visible but now you're a SPOOKY GHOST HOLY SHIT

Good logging and ghost interaction bans should nullify all of this, no?

Sure if you want loads of extra moderating work for having squeaky doors.

Rework reventant into a poltergeist that gets the power of interacting with stuff like this to spook people, instead of the current ghost hobo that tries to eat scraps off the current murderboner

You could easily avoid this by giving the ability a lengthy cool down, perhaps like five or more minutes, maybe even cool downs on the objects themselves (i.e. a door that's been fucked with by a ghost can't be fucked with again for two minutes or so).

Part of the reason why spinning chairs were a possibility for meta fucking traitors and pointing out corpses was because you could spam the shit out of it. With a cool down it'd be extremely hard to abuse unless you're working in sync with a bunch of other ghosts which could easily be countered with logging (basically just look for ghosts using the ability in suspiciously close sync together)

Not to mention asking ghosts to meta for you in chat would get you banned too probably

As the chaplain, I used to make it my job to create elaborate ouija boards in the chapel out of chairs and carefully drawn crayon pictures. I'd use them to ask ghosts where I could find their mortal vessels, and try to get them cloned - but of course, people came back without their memories back then, so there was no chance of turning on the antagonists themselves. And a couple of ghosts could whitenoise the board and make it unusable, spamming all at once.

I was never discouraged or warned until ghost chair rotating vanished, which is when I found out people didn't like such things. It was a shame, but I was sure there'd be more for a chaplain to do soon.

How times have changed.

bad idea

It IS a good idea and simply removing the ability to rotate chairs shows lazyness.

Because there's a simple fix.

As a ghost, you now have PKE energy. It accumulates over time. Slowly. Like you can hold 500 units of it but doing so takes about ten minutes. Rotating a chair takes 100 units, and even then theres a cooldown of thirty seconds to rotate another chair.

Opening a spooky door uses up ALL your PKE energy. Flickering lights only uses up half.

The numbers can be changed I guess, rotating chairs on cuffed people was always funny and I was sad to see it go

But having them infringe on the round at all would mean we need to either severely police ghosts to stop tactical chair spins/PKE actions or actually have ghosts able to be killed (by a roundabout way) so that they return to the lobby or somewhere else. (you could just make them respawn on a timer)

Play some ghost busters on annoying ghosts.
