/tg/Station 13

If the clown doesn't wear one part of his clown gear(His shoes/mask I think?) He gets an increasingly bad moodlet: "I am a disgrace to comedy everywhere!". Why? He has a wardrobe full of costumes that he can't use without steadily going insane. Mime, meanwhile, gets all the leeway to play dressup. Das dumb.

why not just remove moodlets in general for making me gain the bad feelings

Agreed haha.

>taking off your shoes
You deserve everything that comes to you TBH. Maybe the masks should be added under the moodie but you shouldn't be demasking yourself as clown or mime

What about sexy mime/clown mask? Do they count or should we remove them?

Then why have any masks/shoes in the vending machine? As long as they're wearing costume clothes, they should be fine. How are we supposed to have epic owl/griffon rounds if the owl gets depressed because he's wearing his costume.

never got the "clowns HAVE TO wear shooooos" circlejerk. like yeah it's easily a sign of being more robust or whatever, but it's not fucking required

It because wearing the shoes is a significant gimp, and if you take them off you're probably either a mega powergamer or up to some shady shit.

or you just want to wear a pirate costume and be a pirate?

That's because you lack any cultural identity of your own.

lol imagine being the type of clown to not wear your shoes.

just make the things in the costume wardrobe count for clowning

*takes off shoes as clown*
this kills the shoefag

*People suddenly became aware of the problems with moodlets*


Ree forcing an action all round down someones throat limits creativity aaaa

remove the mood debuff, make the clown valid though. fuck shoeless clowns, on par with talking mime imo. why play the role at that point?

You forgot to read the character sheet.

Because you want to be a creative funnyman instead of one that's just some shitter in a clown costume who's obnoxious and dabs?

If the whole reason you play the clown is for the shoes, maybe you should just roll assistant and order a costume crate.

*takes off clown shoes*

First they came for engineers jumpsuit - and I didn't speak out because I was not an engineer,
Then they came for clowns shoes - and I didn't speak out because I was not a clown,
Then they came for security uniforms, again, and there was no one left to speak for me.

I fucking hate the mime talking shit, since mimes just use pda to talk which is against the SPIRIT of silence, and just a shity workaround. Menawhile clowns who remove shoes are blatantly powergaming so they ought to be ganked.

*takes off shoes specifically to make you upset*

Why do people get upset when doctors don't heal people?
Why do people get upset when cargo doesn't order anything?
Why do people get upset when engineers don't set up power?
Why do people get upset when Chef/Botanists don't make food?
Why do people get upset when borgs don't follow their laws?
Why do people get upset when clowns don't dress like clowns?

Because it's their damn job.

The clown is a performer. It is his job to perform, and costumes are often used to do so, hence why he is given an entire vendor of costumes

he didn't have the costume vendor originally, and I can guarantee you that even before the clown clothing moodlet stuff that 85% of those costumes weren't used.

You can't guarantee that, and if even you could, what's your point? That the 15% of people that run gimmicks involving other costumes can fuck themselves? I don't think so, shoefag. *takes off clown shoes*

actually I can guarantee it, because I added stat logging to the costume vendors, and in the PR I made to remove unused costumes, we found that they were mostly all unused

oh wait, i cant show you those stats because lol github ban

I did the thing

Please post here why this is terrible and will forever ruin /tg/station

>One of the most established aspects of game design is that players hate punishments but love rewards, even if the two are identical effects with different feels. So this change has solid design backing it.

Oh no, I died, this is so punishing.
No worries, we will add thousands of meme ghost roles so you can keep playing.

Oh no, I have to walk from botany to chemistry to get my mutagen, this is so punishing.
No worries, we will merge chemistry and botany.

Oh no, I've picked a roleplaying funny-man job, wearing the iconic outfit is a minor inconvenience.
No worries, we will make it so you don't have to.

So how long before SS13 is officially declared dead?

I actually meant the opposite, they should make the other masks count under the moodie, just so long as the clown is wearing a costume mask of some kind.

I should probably point out I wasn't saying I personally want the change, I was simply pointing out that, all things being equal, a reward is more liked than a punishment. If you want to argue that the punishment is still necessary, that's fair. There are concerns much greater than being liked. Dying is a punishment and nobody is advocating for removing that!
