Gamemode where you find dirty corporate secrets
Roundstart, some people start with secrets, or information. They MUSTN'T let this get public.
Other people have the objective of finding and publicizing this information. They may or may not know who holds it, or where it is.
I'm not super sure of this idea, so lets brainstorm it.
Where would the information be? Physical documents? Computers? Who gets it and why?
How would an antag find these secrets? Hacking? Espionage?
Do the antags get special gear like traitors?
What counts as "publicizing"? Would the secret have a button next to it saying "upload"? Would you have to read it over radio, like WGW? Would you have to make sure a certain number of people read the secret?
Brainstorm time people

If they get any antag gear the result will be: hide or destroy documents, murderbone.
If no murder gear is provided: suicide, bad antag, waaah.

Re: Gamemode where you find dirty corporate secrets
How about letting them get a special machine that lets them print posters that contain discovered secrets

one possible location should be the R&D server so it actually sees use (it would have to be blocked from the AI somehow)

Re: Gamemode where you find dirty corporate secrets
I'd be worried that this might turn into the equivalent of getting a steal objective only to find that someone "secured" all the objectives at roundstart and now you have no way of knowing who has the thing you're trying to steal.

Re: Gamemode where you find dirty corporate secrets
How about we give a couple of players an objective to carry out unethical tasks (upgrade RnD machinery with HUMAN BRAINS! or somesuch, put fluoride in water/cryo/sleepers/barman drinks, etc,) with some kind of paper from NT that they can show sec to force sec to cooperate (machinery upgraded with human brains, for example, doesn't really give a clue that anything is wrong. You have to disassemble it to see the brain inside; it also gives unethicals a steady trickle of points that they need to greentext).
And we have a couple of players who are "truthers" and start with cameras with special film.
Truthers have to photo evidence of unethical shit (e.g. locate machinery with a human brain in it, take a photo) using special film and upload it to newscasters, every view of those news increases a counter that, when it hits, say, 100, makes NT reveal identity of the truthers to "unethical players", they have to work with sec to take truthers down; if the counter hits, say, 200, NT decides to try to maintain some kind of plausible deniability, announces that "unethical players" are Syndicate agents, and that truthers are vigilantes to be arrested? I dunno.
Crew win if NT declares unethical players syndicate agents, they're arrested and delivered to Centcomm alive, and truthers are alive (arrested too?)
Truthers win as crew but gotta escape free
Sec wins as crew if NT declares unethicals as syndicates, otherwise only has to arrest truthers
Unethicals win if they accumulate enough points through their unethical activities and escape free
So basically unethicals try to do their shit covertly (they get points for it or whatever), crew tries to tip off truthers without getting arrested by sec/riot, truthers try to show people the truth without getting arrested/killed for breaking machinery, and sec just arrests whomever NT orders them do.
Nobody gets antag gear (or maybe only stealth items).

the problem is that the standard operation of a space station is already unethical as fuck

Re: Gamemode where you find dirty corporate secrets
also for the first stage even if sec do arrest the truthers they'll make them keep uploading photos to the 200 point mark so they can arrest the unethicals too and get maximum arrestitude
remember that time on vg when some of the crew got a catbeast virus and instead of curing it, sec just locked them in a pen and waited for them to become valid?

Re: Gamemode where you find dirty corporate secrets
That's why the unethicals can't really trust sec and should rather aim to murder truthers or pretend they're some other antags so sec executes them while the gamemode is not yet revealed to sec.Screemonster wrote:also for the first stage even if sec do arrest the truthers they'll make them keep uploading photos to the 200 point mark so they can arrest the unethicals too and get maximum arrestitude
I don't think the gamemode will be hard to code too, I'm not sure if byond can register views. Though I guess it can count uses of newscasters/newspapers.

it's actually just like pottery
