Nanotrashen Listening/Radio Outpost
Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2022 7:11 pm
Icebox isn’t looking too hot on ghost roles and other ruins. I don’t even think there’s a single good ghost role can can even be used for playing around with the crew, like, no comms agent? At all?
Of course, the common syndicate listening agent is a very cool and fun gimmick, but I find myself most of the time bored as there’s almost no traitors to interact with. Combine that with the fact that the crew will immediately know if your a evil comms agent or just a guy on Lavaland (because no other ghost role has access to play around with the crew), it’s not really that fun.
So I am thinking of drafting up a ruin for Icebox, theming it around Nanotrashen loyalists rather than a evil syndicate base. The main focus will be radio, and I plan to give leeway on how to do your gimmick. You could be a radio station broadcasting propaganda or otherwise, you could report on things on the station, or maybe even you can be a insider; assist security/whoever while keeping your identity secure, or you can just shitpost. Main deal is that this isn’t focused on being evil; it’s focused on being a guy at a radio station that’s bored as hell.
The idea seems like just like the listening station, but I’m planning to add some more gimmicks to it as well (perhaps a tax machine that can only send messages to central/the station or something, but I am not a coder) and add some more leeway. There could be lore and stuff, but I don’t want it to be the main goal for the person in the ruin. The ghost role can do whatever gimmick with or without lore.
I think this needs more thumbs up, though. So I’m putting this in here to see if anyone would like it. Also I would be interested in creating a syndicate listening station as well and have the two be rivals.
