its nearly march, the month of april fools pr coding

[nianjiilical]

i have a lot of ideas for april fools prs but we should get ahead of the ball and come up with good atrocious decent ideas for it

ideally things that won't actually have major gameplay effects or require insane coding efforts

If in doubt, battle royale gamemode.

99 assistants randomly teleport onto the station and get a 60 second truce period where everyone is pacifistic.
After the truce period, the players can kill eachother.
The player area gets gradually smaller and smaller due to heavy radiation storms.
Crates are strewn about filled with phat gamer loot like guns, ammo, medical supplies, grenades, hardsuits, etc...
If the round has gone for more than 1 hour, the death squad is sent in.
The goal is to be the last person standing and get le epic greentext.

Uh, could you inform the rest of the coders they gotta wait until march to make the silly prs? The close button is seeing some wear.

Battle royale events have been done before, there should be a PR with it somewhere iirc.

i dont know if i should write down all my ideas or try to keep them a surprise on the off chance i code them but once thing i want to do is swap the colors of all the department doors/decals/uniforms
