WARNING: THIS IDEA IS POSSIBLY CRAZY AND/OR REALLY STUPID

Rounds can get stale, sometimes the antags are lame, random-events are lame, and there are non-antags who are very capable of doing something to spark life into it, but as non-antags, they are a little scared to do anything.
I present: Chaotic license. It would be an admin-granted player state that lets you do crazy things like antags do, but you aren't actually antag "lore" wise, but otherwise you are essentially antag as far as everything else is concerned. When given to a player, they get a big message saying "You have been granted chaotic license, try to stir things up."

You don't have greentext, but you are able to rest easy if you decide to write a telecomms script that makes everyone talk backwards or "accidentally" inject a gold slime with plasma.

At the end of the round, players with chaotic license are listed after the antags.

This idea may be stupid because you can already do this and hold "trying to spice up the round" as a possible valid excuse on Player Complaints, or even ahelp that you want to do something crazy and ask the admins if you can.

(The only reason I'm suggesting this is because there are players that get their panties twisted very easily due to someone doing something strange and ahelp when people are just trying to have fun.)

We can already do that by pushing the traitor button and not giving objectives, or custom ones.

Just pray when the round has gone on forever. If you're putting some effort into what you want to do to fuck with the station then more often than not admins will help out.

>implying praying "I'm bored" ever works

When I tried that, one of you smartasses spawned a cookie in front of me.

Prayers are unreliable, really.

Better/related idea - Add a 'License to Griff' as a jumpsuit accessory, spawnable for 1TC or admin-granted. Rip the sprites from Bay's holobadges.

If used in-hand: "<name> waves around his License to Griff! Wow, what a badass."
If used on a mob: "<name> waves his License to Griff in <name2>'s face! Looks like someone's gonna get griff'd!"

That's so stupid. It's perfect.

Alternatively, spawn one of those Greentext items from wizard Summon Events.

I need one that says "VALID" while in their hands and they can't drop it, for those special case idiots.

Set their maptext, adjust maptext height and done.

set var nodrop = 1

you can't do that you idiot :^] (NODROP is a flag m8)

Also for nodrop changes flags to 2

It probably breaks a lot of stuff but it prevents dropping if you need a magical claymore or something.

or you could just add 2 to the flags var.
so if flags = 467 then you just change it to flags = 469

We will call it, the tensioner
