Early Launching

Post by ATHATH » #500161

We should ban anyone who (successfully) early launches the shuttle (from the station to Centcomm; the thing that requires you to swipe three head IDs (or use an emag) to do) in a situation that doesn't warrant it from all head roles for a day.

Reasons that would warrant an early launch:
[*]cult
[*]singulo is loose
[*]maybe aliens if they've REALLY gotten out of hand...)
[*]the server is being lagged to a point of unplayability and EVERYONE just wants the pain to STOP
[*]you're an antag
[*]an active murderboner is on the loose
[*]etc.

Reasons that would NOT warrant an early launch (on their own; they don't stop other reasons from being valid ones to early launch):
[*]traitors, changelings, and/or blood brothers exist
[*]the AI is subverted, but they have no active borgs left
[*]a singularity got loose at some point, but drifted far away into space somewhere or was otherwise dealt with 30 minutes ago and is no longer a threat
[*]someone screamed out over comms that you shouldn't early launch, and you want to early launch just to spite them because you have the sense of humor of a three year old
[*]keeping antags from greentexting, even if it means marooning half of the crew
[*]you like to listen to people salt about early launches
[*]"I wanna go home"
[*]literally no reason
[*]etc.

People who launch the escape shuttle early without a good reason are SCUM and even a dayban from all command roles might be too light of a punishment for them, change my mind.

Early launching will end the round faster which will allow you another chance to roll for antag faster, thus increasing the amount of spacemen that you turn horizontal per hour. It's called gamer strategy.

The problem with this is the risk of punishment clearly doesn't outweigh the potential gains (become traitor next round 3 minutes faster). Plus there's absolutely no downside to doing it when no admins are online.

I think the disconnect is that most people play with no admin coverage, so even though admins enforce it, it's happening.

I've seen people getting warned about this in the past, naturally if there is no admin online then not a whole lot can be done about it. If you see it and think there is no reason for a early launch you could always try ahelping it. That said, if there's a credible threat then you're just shit out of luck.

Move this to code suggestions since we already ban for it, so the only thing that could result out of this thread would be a new PR.

Could we make people who early launch the shuttle for no good reason officially valid (as in, murderable without other provocation by non-antags)? Are they already valid?

Buying shitty shuttles is already "valid" but I've never seen anyone actually get lynched for it, even an assistant who stole AA

god forbid you try to protect them, you're now valid too

We also don't make public loudspeaker announcements every time we note or ban somebody. So this gets notes and bans when it happens. Players just see other players doing the thing and not instantly exploding into gibs and presume that nothing is happening.

Also I'm going to say that asking for it to be "officially valid" is kinda weird - if someone does something like launch the shuttle early nearly leaving you on station/actually leaving your colleagues on station/etc for no good reason then I feel like it's pretty intuitive that you might be mad at them and kick their ass? Not everything needs to be a black/white "valid or not" thing.

Why does this only deserve a warning anyway, being left on the station is functionally the same as being dead and we don't excuse BoH bombing the shuttle just because the round is about to end, why is this different

This should warrant a job ban at the very least

I've been enforcing this rule every time. Not really sure what you want from this ATHATH, it's literally already a reality as far as I can tell. It's just that you're likely not aware of it because it's handled so close to round end. Admins aren't just going to announce 'yeah we banned that guy big epic' every time it happened. It might not even BE a ban if it isn't a repeat offense. Sometimes the guy is lynched and it's handled IC.

Context matters?

Be sure to ahelp early launches if you don't see anything to early launch for.

This is already enforced, unless there's no one around, or they haven't noticed. We encourage you to ahelp it if you see it, because yes, it's extremely in bad faith to early launch because unga my antag roll faster.
