This is a guide to playing Warden in a way that makes the rounds friendlier, more fun, and more positive to all players by better social treatment or better brig treatment.
The guide assumes you have played Security and Warden.
These are my suggestions for playing a Warden that makes time in the brig better for everyone.
This is the sign of a bad Warden.
Basic guide;
Remove detainees from bad security officers. Seperate them and sentence detainees yourself. Bad security officers are the scum of security.
Make the brig a pleasent place to be.
Do not resort to killing unless absolutely required to. The suspect is in your home and they should not be able to kill you in your home.
You are not an antag. You do not have to do anything. Your reward is the story and experience of the round. You are responsible for your own good stories and experience of SS13.
All suspects, prisoners, detainees are players.
They have a right to play the game. They have a right to have fun.
You have a right to remove that fun if they deprive others of it.
Do not deprive those of fun that have not deprived others of fun.
Treat others as you would want to be treated.
Sentencing options:
A stern talking to.
Tracking Implant.
Tracking Implant and Chemical implant.
Timed sentence.
Permabrig sentence.
Labour sentence.
Sentencing information;
Avoid harsh punishments where possible. If a detainee is cooperative, compliant, submissive, and non-violent throughout, I forbid you from punishing them harshley.
We are all here to have fun.
It is better that you trust someone in your mercy and they betray you, than you betraying them when they are at your mercy.
Humanity comes a long way; one day you will be at the mercy of someone. Treat everyone with honour and fidelity.
Punish those that test your patience and humanity harshly. Never anger a gentle and patient person.
Implanting guide;
The prisoner management console can track tracking implants and chemical implants.
Keep an eye on the movement of tracking implants.
Use the camera to track them.
Immediately detain and/or activate chemical implants of those trying to remove their implants.
Raid them if they deactivate cameras.
Message them directions or orders. i.e. report to the brig, I saw you do that come explain yourself, do x or y.
