ok time for a realtalk about abductors
should they be allowed to beam down into the AI core and kill it/card it FNR, it's kinda dumb and has no counterplay

No. Runs counter to their concept, unless we introduce mechanics to abduct an AI, give it a random quirk and beam it back down onto the station.lmwevil wrote:should they be allowed to beam down into the AI core and kill it/card it FNR, it's kinda dumb and has no counterplay

yes they should be, and otherwise if not it should be mechanically enforced because admins dont' do jack.

It's against the rules for Abductors to recall the shuttle, and they don't do that anymore.

Wraiths have to be made and actually get to the AI core, so 10-30 seconds, then kill it which can allow an AI to call for help if he's quick.confused rock wrote:Wraiths also do the same thing with no counterplay, lotsa shit can unfairly fuck the ai.

Abductors shouldn't be allowed to do this unless the AI is really fucking with them. They aren't supposed to kill people unless there's valid reason. It's why you get (or atleast should get) punished if you set the abductee dropoff point to space or something where they'll just die.

Re: ok time for a realtalk about abductors
idea though: the ai core can see around itself already, right? you could just remove the cameras directly next to the core, so abductors can't warp in. would that work, or would the ai be a camera for those purposes?

Re: ok time for a realtalk about abductors
There's plenty of things that "aren't fair" for the AI. Reinforced walls are jackshit against anyone coming by with thermite, cult and wizard practically get "one free AI kill" with wraith and shifting respectively. The whole point of the AI is the idea that it's vulnerable and easily dispatched unless someone wants to take the proper measures to protect it, a la moving the AI core when war ops hit. You can't honestly say that the midround antag who has a lot to lose by letting the AI live shouldn't be allowed the same graces just cause it doesn't immediately come into play at roundstart.MortoSasye wrote:No. Simply not.

I mean, their entire concept is "stealthily abduct and experiment upon unwilling subjects." I'd imagine removing the surveillance device of said subjects would be rather paramount to one's concept if surveillance is counter to your goals.AnonymousNow wrote:No. Runs counter to their concept, unless we introduce mechanics to abduct an AI, give it a random quirk and beam it back down onto the station.lmwevil wrote:should they be allowed to beam down into the AI core and kill it/card it FNR, it's kinda dumb and has no counterplay
There's one hell of a difference between "I wanna drag the round further and further along because fuck you" and "this AI will literally kick our shit in if we don't just get rid of it now." One is obvious rule 1 violations, and the other is looking out for one's own safety in a generally sound mindset.coiax wrote:It's against the rules for Abductors to recall the shuttle, and they don't do that anymore.
insert meme here about throwing coding solutions in a policy discussionwesoda25 wrote:Make AI core a high security place they can’t beam down into.
jokes aside, all this does is flip the script, and make the AI near uncounterable to abductors sans their helmets giving them one single grace.
In the end, unless someone wants to actually code a solution, the policy should remain that abductors are well within their rights to remove the AI at their notice. It isn't right to effectively tell a stealth antag that the counter to stealth can't be removed for their own safety, cause being a stationary bunch of cameras tends to leave you vulnerable and that isn't okay.

Wraiths are technically faster to warp in but killing takes time. Abductors, assuming they already had the ai intellicard, take longer to warp in but using a radio silencer and intellicard is faster.Deitus wrote:Huh?

Wraiths still give more time to call for help unless the AI sees the ayy warp in or can hear. Most of the time, they don't hear.

Nor could you abduct people if the AI is able to kill or wound your mothership agent. edit: yes, you could solo abduct as a scientist however if this was a rp server then that would clearly be powergaming. it's also more risky if you want a reason that isn't but muh rp. doesn't stop me from doing it as a meme though ayy lemoh
There are some other scenarios that are rare and could still happen yet I don't feel like it would help to go well if john johnson takes your baton and all the cameras are emped while you have only a modified trigger kpa then how will you avoid being tased by a assistant blah blah blah.
Only good reason is if the AI is rogue and therefore people cut the cameras though.

Never been a problem for me, I make sure AIs attention is diverted. And if AI IS watching, just give up on capturing that one person. Its not that hard I don't think. Its a big station, AI can only see so much.
Abductors shouldn't be encouraged to impact the round too heavily.

From what I've seen, it's really not that uncommon for abductors to start handing out "release the singlo" objectives, so this is a bit of a moot point.wesoda25 wrote:Abductors shouldn't be encouraged to impact the round too heavily.
Anyway, if the AI knows about the wizard or abductors, they can throw beepsky into the turret blind spot. If they get singled out first, then hopefully they have time to warn the crew of their killer and make life for the antag harder. Wraiths just meme-teleporting onto the sat is bullshit, but two counters do exist (Moving the AI to somewhere hidden, and having a borg fill up from a blessed water tank and bless the satellite), and in my experience the AI usually knows about possible cult well before getting hit.

Re: ok time for a realtalk about abductors
The Abductor hat acts as an agent ID in that the AI can't track you already.
Ayys have always been less of an antag and more of a hostile faction since we disallow them explicitly from murderboning, so i'm wondering if we could just kind of toss it in there? If the AI tries to antagonize you then you're welcome to fight back but you shouldn't preemptively kill the AI. Fluff wise killing it would raise suspicion about abductor activity in the sector which could compromise this and future missions, so you only want to do it when it is truly necessary.

Re: ok time for a realtalk about abductors
Whenever I play abductor, I attempt to keep to the flavour text and try to leave as little impact on the round as a whole as possible. That said, I have been forced to kill an AI before, just due to the sheer number of hostile borgs and level of interference they were running. This was after kidnapping and returning it, then attempting to subvert it to our cause twice (followed by vox: "Laws updated"). I have also been party to malf checking a few AI's, but have put them back after checking their laws. This is due to them acting sketchy, and us not getting objective points for dead people.
My point is, some times killing the AI is necessary and disallowing it would be shitty.
That said, I do think abductors could benefit from being held to their flavour text a bit more. It seems some abductors go out of their way to steal ID's and such from their abductees for no reason. Okay if there is IC reasoning, but if you are just doing it to be shitty.. well.

Re: ok time for a realtalk about abductors
Killing the AI is always my first objective as abductor. It's literally required to do if you don't want abductors to be outed in the first 5 minutes. If you try to use 'but that's never happened to me' as anecdotal evidence then I guess the AI that round was pretty shitty.

Abductors should be allowed to warp into the AI cote and kill it. It's a valid counterplay against one of their biggest threats, if you don't like it then make it so abductors can't do it codewise instead of making a policy against what is basically a common sense thing

Re: ok time for a realtalk about abductors
Abductors killing the AI for no reason is pretty shitty and is in line with them murdering crew for no reason. Abductors base is completely inaccessible from anyone else and anything dead there (like a carded AI) is effectively cremated and out of the round. If abductors need a better reason to kill crew then "they want me dead" then they need a better reason to kill AI then "it could out me".
Abductors have plenty of tools to evade the AI (including an already built-in agent card), and it could feasibly just give it an AI law to ignore abductor activity. There shouldn't be any reason they need to go out of their way to kill the AI, especially "within 5 minutes of spawning". Unlike wizards and cults, abductors aren't supposed to be an active lethal threat to the crew and should not be abusing their tools to take players out of the round completely, which is a standard abductors are already expected to go by.

Re: ok time for a realtalk about abductors
It rarely is for no reason, though. Just panning around is enough to catch abductions relatively often, and the AI will then tend to call down the entire crew on you to prevent beamup. Personally I tend to leave it since it makes abductor gameplay a bit more fun and challenging, but there definitely are (even IC) reasons to kill the AI.

Re: ok time for a realtalk about abductors
It's because it's the Centcomm z level.
This isn't about abductor conduct, it's a code issue. Abductors have every reason to get rid of the AI and no reason to keep it alive. I don't care to think about finding a solution for that but there's a few ways to go about it that don't involve adding to chapter 53 of our text book of rules. Make it impossible for abductors to warp into the AI core, give abductors an objective/incentive to keep the AI alive, etc.

Re: ok time for a realtalk about abductors
I've been a nuking malf AI once and an abductor agent beamed down, carded me before Pingsky realised there was a threat. His scientist buddy followed afterwards, picked me up, wiped me and beamed the agent back-up and there was genuinely nothing I could have done.
Don't say "just use use cyborgs lmao", I didn't have any and they had literally just spawned in - there was no possible way I could have prepared for that.
Abductors don't even need to beam into the AI core, they can just nab an AI Upload and print off a freeform core module whenever someone's not looking and upload an "ignore me" law literally anywhere on station, since their teleport doesn't need to actually see an area to function (you can beam into static just fine, like you could in clockcult).

Re: ok time for a realtalk about abductors
Would we lose anything if abductors were unable to use (or perhaps even pick up) any item that doesn't spawn on their ship? Like a more aggressive form of golem hands? Maybe add some fluff text of "That item is not correctly sterilized, and as such contact with it should be avoided".
The biggest issue that I know of would be abductors being unable to place items back on a human that they strip. But abductors don't need to strip anyway, right? Don't their tools go through clothing or something?

Re: ok time for a realtalk about abductors
We decided that abductors should be allowed to take action against the AI, should they choose to do so.
This is in line with our policy on antagonist freedom, and doesn't fall under rule 1, as abductors often have legitimate reason to disable the AI.
It would also cause a lot of administrative headaches, as well as frustration for the abductor players, to have a crewmember that is protected under the rules bit also able to make your lives/task extremely difficult.
I understand this can be frustrating for the AI, but we felt a code solution was more in line with this situation than a policy one.
