More control over antag job selection
Posted: Sat Apr 25, 2020 6:02 pm
So I have a problem, and I'm open to suggestions.
I like rolling for antag. I'm not obsessive, but I enjoy the experience when my number comes up. Lately I've been playing a lot of security. This presents an interesting opportunity - Queue up for Security, and maybe you'll roll antag and get a job outside security. So I can essentially put security jobs on high/medium and antag jobs on low, and I'm going to either get to play security or antag in a job of my choice. Cool.
So now I feel like trying out command roles, but I have a problem: I think antagonists having command roles is fucking stupid, and even though I will never convince anybody else of this, it's still a personal rule I intend to play by. But now I'm faced with a dilemma. I want to play CMO. I also want to roll for traitor. But I don't want to play as a traitor CMO.
I would like a solution to this. So far my best bet is Ahelping and asking to trade my antag roll for a non-command antag token. Maybe there's an admin online. Maybe they'll agree to the trade. Maybe if it happens a second time they don't get iffy about letting me stockpile antag tokens. That's a lot of maybes. The alternative is either not playing CMO or not rolling for antag.
My ideal solution would be either a whitelist (When I'm antag, roll for these jobs) or a blacklist (When I'm antag, never roll for these jobs). However, I'm of two minds about this. While it'd be an ideal solution to my problem and also permit me other opportunities (Maybe I never want to be a rev bartender or a cultist doctor), it might also make antag rolling even worse, with everybody just sticking chemist or scientist on their whitelist (or putting all jobs but those on their blacklist). On the other hand, you can technically already do this if you want to play security roles, and it might prevent people from just phoning it in when they land on I-Want-To-Antag-This-Job-But-Not-Play-It-Normally.
I realize this whole thing may just be an issue with my unique brand of autism, but I'd still like to hear other opinions.
