Config change: rainbow assistants
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.

Re: Config change: rainbow assistants
The rainbow makes it easier to tell different greyshirts apart, and probably reduces greyshirt solidarity.

Re: Config change: rainbow assistants
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.EagleWiz wrote:The rainbow makes it easier to tell different greyshirts apart, and probably reduces greyshirt solidarity.

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.

Re: Config change: rainbow assistants
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 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.

Re: Config change: rainbow assistants
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.bandit wrote:this is part of the reason it got reverted, so antags can have some cover by disguising as graysuitsDr_bee wrote:It doesnt matter if the tide organizes, it is so people can more easily call out assholes.Grazyn wrote: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.

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

grey is far better.

grey is an iconic color of the assistants and should not be taken away.

Re: Config change: rainbow assistants
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
