Mimes breaking vows

[Denton]

Imagine: If a mime breaks their sacred vow, the mime council sends a silent assassin to deal with them.

This would be a ghost role with the objective to retrieve the mime's tongue and/or mask, without killing them.

[Atlanta-Ned]

No.

[Limey]

an antag role that is triggered by a single player's action is asking for chaos tbh

there are better ways to punish vow breaking that are both fun(?) and not a recipe for disaster

[feem]

I like the idea but it's a bad idea so no

[cedarbridge]

>add a ghost role with a specific aim to grief and bully a player that is probably already being griefed or bullied for being griefed or bullied

No

[Limey]

idea; every time the clown takes off his shoes a nuke op team is spawned

[SpaceInaba]

idea: every time somebody picks assistant it spawns an ert to assassinate them

Tbh that‘s also how I feel about it

limey is one of the best posters on the forums

No

[delaron]

How about a ghost role where the mask gains sentience and acts as a therapist to the wayward mime?

[DemonFiren]

Just give mimes a per-letter chance to bite their own tongues when talking, cutting the message at that point and causing some brute and bleeding.

[calzilla1]

How about every time someone picks captian, the SHADOW REALM captain spawns and trys to usurp the real captain

[Anonmare]

I still want wizards to have arm=mounted decks they use to play SS13-themed decks that summon those monsters/spells/entities.

I want to be a King of Games Wizard

>Obsessing over how other people play the game

Sad!

[oranges]

I thought it would be okay OP

[BeeSting12]

It should just make them valid.

[FantasticFwoosh]

Wouldn't require even to be relevant to the round, with a admin inputted or flavour text excuse to spawn the mime assassin, datum antag fodder.

- Kill any such mime
- Else just do generic infiltrator shit & survive until the end of the round/you eventually die

A small part of me wants it to be the only way to collect specific research points to build a Reticence mecha in robotics by adding mute toxin & lot of additional minerals as to its particular construction along with the special tech points from deconstructing the mime assassins equipment, its practically already written into the mecha's description.

Spoiler:

Code: Select all

/obj/mecha/combat/reticence
	desc = "A silent, fast, and nigh-invisible miming exosuit. Popular among mimes and mime assassins."
	name = "\improper reticence"
	icon_state = "reticence"
	step_in = 2
	dir_in = 1 //Facing North.
	max_integrity = 100
	deflect_chance = 3
	armor = list(melee = 25, bullet = 20, laser = 30, energy = 15, bomb = 0, bio = 0, rad = 0, fire = 100, acid = 100)
	max_temperature = 15000
	wreckage = /obj/structure/mecha_wreckage/reticence
	operation_req_access = list(ACCESS_THEATRE)
	add_req_access = 0
	internal_damage_threshold = 25
	max_equip = 2
	step_energy_drain = 3
	color = "#87878715"
	stepsound = null
	turnsound = null
	opacity = 0 //After a pending nerf or a way to let players see people in the cockpit

Talking as a mime should do clone damage per character along with inserting mute-toxin also proportional with characters inputted.

Fuck you, I'm better at ideas.

[Cobby]

hahaha thats even more hilarious

[cedarbridge]

I was thinking we could force an incomprehensible French accent filter on everything they say so even if they do speak its incomprehensible.

this is 1000000x better and funnier than

[IkeTG]

Mimes should get permanent brain damage for breaking their vows. The explanation is simple - mimes by nature are silent, so the only kind of mime that would speak is one that is not right in the noggin.

[SpaceInaba]

google translate everything they say into french

[delaron]

The real question we all need to be asking is, can the HOP/Captain force change someone into becoming a mime? Would these restrictions still hilariously apply?

HoP given Mime != true mimes to the same degree that getting chaplain access doesn't also give you access to using the bible.

[FantasticFwoosh]

Or just have a mime implant chip that regresses someone into a state of mimery.
