Config change: rainbow assistants

Post by subject217 » #424913

This change was reverted when the config merge happened. I'd like to see it back. I know that at the time, a vote was done on Greytide vs. Gaytide. Maybe we could run something like this again, or just fix it since it used to be this way anyway.

Edit: I've added a forum poll.

The rainbow makes it easier to tell different greyshirts apart, and probably reduces greyshirt solidarity.

If we voted on it I don't see why we would revote on it just because the vote was not in favor of a certain option.

yes, this was the reason the change was made in the first place. At that time it was justified due to greytide being on the rise, I don't see the same situation now.

The chad greytide
- was here first; a modern classic
- subtle tone allows wearers to blend in
- not afraid to fuck you up and steal your dog

the virgin gaytide
- added in a fit of salt by the infamous paprka
- was the laughing stock of the server ever since it was added
- only liked ironically, will never feel real love

You and I must be playing very different games. Greytiding has only gone up since the config was turned off.

If you want to be a classic greyshirt, take the 2 seconds of effort it takes to use the 3 lockers filled with grey jumpsuits on every map. Rainbow assistants does wonders for sec and helps people identify assholes more easily.

Assistants with rainbow suits are blasphemy against everything sacred and it should stay an emergency measure, also its effect is greatly reduced if it becomes a permanent thing because assistants learn to organize despite the difference in colour.

Used sparingly is much more effective at disrupting the tide

It doesnt matter if the tide organizes, it is so people can more easily call out assholes.

It is easier to shout about the asshole assistant in the red jumpsuit instead of the asshole assistant in grey jumpsuit number 29.

This is a non-invasive way of mitigating greytide to make it manageable.

Why exactly do they not just disguise themselves via other means? This is not a good reason to revert that change. You can use this as a counter to greytide without hurting antag rounds.

If that was the actual reason for the revert, it is sad. Stop babying antags, self antag or actual antag.

Was this "revert" ever actually discussed? It was my understanding that it was just one of the things missed when configs were unified.

You want to neuter the greytide forever and make it so no one would ever play assistant again? It's simple

rainbow suits
remove assmaint
set box as the only map (in case some assistant manage to get maint access from hop, also no public lathe)
remove public toolboxes
assistant cap because why not
