Straight up remove Secret Extended gamemode

Post by Istoprocent1 » #528203

Bottom post of the previous page:

Imagine readying up to play a game of paranoia-laden roleplaying game set against the backdrop of a nonsensical, metal death trap masquerading as a space station, only to find out that you have been tricked into playing a round of extended with no paranoia to be had, no mysteries to be solved and no antags to be dealt with. You are trapped with just the tiders and have next to no purpose for the reminder of the round.

Why is Secret Extended still a thing? At least with the regular Extended one can instantly tune out after it is announced within 5 minutes of the game.

Thoughts?

Then like I said, maybe enforcing those standards needs to be something that's done more often. Just enforcing the rules and standards we already have in place more often would make a shockingly positive difference to this community.

This is a mentally challenged idea. Yog forces SOP to the point, where security players get punished yet non-security can do as they please.

Handling an assistant "tiding" and giving them a 1 minute sentence, which by the way is usually the same amount it takes to search them, is pointless. In essence you have wasted 1 minute + the time it took to catch that assistant, while the assistant spent all the time "tiding" and will continue to "tide", because the next time he is caught it will be the same 1 minute again. If Space Law had 3 strike system - 3rd time you are caught for whatever crime, you can be treated as an antag to the fullest extent, only then would be playing Extended or Secret Extended make sense for security. Otherwise its "getting griefed as sec" or "getting griefed as sec, but you don't know it until like 30 minutes into the game" gamemode.

Code: Select all

I strongly suspected the borgs were one humaned by the Captain because of their increasingly strange behavior throughout the round after the Captain had entered their upload and seemingly changed the laws. I had asked twice if I could blow the borgs to no response (because there was no admin online apparently). They were constantly complimenting the Captain and calling her pretty and essentially threatening people who called the Captain ugly - Pepper Oni.

SOP =/= Space Law. Thanks for proving my point, 95 percenter.

Also, you're aware that even under Space Law, you're allowed to escalate sentences for repeat offenders, correct? If you have to keep arresting the same tiding shitter repeatedly, you're well within your right to escalate to capital punishment.

also maybe we should be punishing assisatants for tiding and validhunting as well, not just security

The fuck is SOP.

Don't just go "I bet 95% of people don't know what SOP is" when the abbreviation isn't explained anywhere in this thread.

That's a bad idea because it destroys the main reason for announced extended: to know that you can finally do the long-term project you never bothered to start on secret rounds. Considering you're still not guaranteed to be safe since some admins see announced extended as a green light to push buttons, adding fake extended on top of it would just be annoying as hell.

I am all for giving traitors a bit more leniency and not executing them at the first sign of smoking a syndi cigarette, but the way some other servers handle SOP is just idiotic.

I got jobbanned on yog ages ago because I bucklecuffed someone in the brig while a malf AI set the station on fire, shocked all the doors and I was getting shot at by rogue secborgs.

Dude, going 3 strikes out is fine, I do it all the time. Usually for minor shittery I just confiscate harmful/stolen items and stuff used for breaking and entering. Second strike I send them to the gulag for some moderate amount of points. Third strike I put them in perma or go bowling with their head.

That's the entire point. The possibility of shit happening to muck up your perfect plan is part of the game. Players relying on the (possibly incorrect) information given to them and acting accordingly rather than relying on the meta-info of "well there MIGHT be an antag so I won't even play properly" is how the game is supposed to be played. It seems this fact is lost on a lot of people these days.

Thats why DYNAMIC is the best gamemode out there. There is much less metainformation one can rely on - discover a cult? Okay, but you don't automatically know about the 2 traitors trying to do their thing and so on. Also there is no Secret Extended in Dynamic.

For the record, I agree that dynamic being in the rotation is a good thing. Mostly because of that very reason. Partly because it's fun on occasion to have the wham bam fuckfest of 4 different antag types in the same round.

This could be turned around and said that if the active elements from the game are removed somebody wants to play minecraft, but on SS13 and so on.

Think about it in reverse. What if there was a gamemode called Extended Secret - there will be an announcement that the round is going to play out as Extended, but in reality there are active threats from tots to nukeops. Now a minecraft player who is like "yes, i get 60+ minutes to do my autism project without any threats signs up to play the game", but the round ends 10 minutes in because wizard was slain or revs/heads got rekt. How many false rounds would it take for the minecraft player to get unhappy?

I am completely fine with Extended rounds if they are called out at the beginning and I know that "hey, now I can do my autism projects as well instead of focusing on being sec in a round, where nothing but tiding happens".

Only thing we need is Dynamic to circumvent any metagame and a regular Extended to unwind from hi-octane action of Dynamic. The less fake gamemodes there are the better.

Again I still feels more like a problem of your play style than a game mode issue.
A fair few rounds have been run very successfully on Manuel as secret extended with only random events being thrown in as normal.

Maybe the solution is to take it off certain servers. Or if you really had extended that much go play on Terry where is 24/7 dynamic, you'll never see a "dull" round again. Good luck with that.
Whatever

I played a secret extended round on Manuel and it was absolute cancer. Absolutely nothing at all happened in 90 min before i decided to disconnect. We had two patients in medbay in 90 min for minor injuries. One of the worst experiences playing the game i've had recently.

The game doesn't work without any chance of conflict. There weren't even any greytiders or workplace conflict to drive the round.

A fair few rounds have been run very successfully on Manuel as secret extended with only random events being thrown in as normal.

Maybe the solution is to take it off certain servers. Or if you really had extended that much go play on Terry where is 24/7 dynamic, you'll never see a "dull" round again. Good luck with that.
I played a secret extended round on Manuel and it was absolute cancer. Absolutely nothing at all happened in 90 min before i decided to disconnect. We had two patients in medbay in 90 min for minor injuries. One of the worst experiences playing the game i've had recently.

The game doesn't work without any chance of conflict. There weren't even any greytiders or workplace conflict to drive the round.
it depends on your job, what you decide to do during that downtime, and if there's any admins on

I think the problem is less with extended itself and more with a general lack of stuff to do during downtime from the action. Nearly everything that goes on in game is driven in one way or another by antags, so it makes sense that removing them makes the game feel pretty incomplete. So how to solve this? More minor stuff, more minor situations that require player interaction- have a station that can feel fun to play on for two hours with no major conflict, and suddenly extended will be more enjoyable.
Everyone's favourite internewt. Je maptiendrai.
In the rare event that I'm on the server, I'm either Inept-At-Job or Kayden Riker. Accept no substitutes.

Actually only a couple days ago there was a ton of paranoia over a fake cult on manuel, so much so that the shuttle was called.

Make Secret Extended 24/7 on Manuel then and leave other servers alone?
