Only the Chaplain Can Pray

[Scott]

Bottom post of the previous page:

Instead of removing the ability for faithful spessmen to pray, why not give the chaplain a special pray verb that makes a noise and is on a cooldown?

[ThanatosRa]

I'd feel obligated to purposely misspell prayers and get them wrong out of spite and probably net my first non-ickyocky ban.

A lot of ideas out of this thread are good. The core basic idea, however, that only the chaplain can pray? That's terrible fun-killing.

[Hellafied]

I love this idea. Code it now.

not a fan. all my points against this have already been made by a few people.

Especially ruining the Black Crow for the whole station.
That is beyond fucked up.

I'm strongly in favor of making the Chaplain's prayer appear special.
Leaving normal prayer makes sense to avoid clogging ahelp with certain things.

I usually try to give chaplains more attention with their prayers anyway but its still surprisingly rare to get one that isn't crap anyway.

As part-time chaplain, what are admins looking for in a prayer, anyway?
Most of the ones I've dropped are rather generally-worded arpee stuff.

[Saegrimr]

Hard to say, varies between who sees it.

Personally i'm not that creative so when I get really vaguely worded prayers I just shrug, other admins would gladly send you on a mystical journey of nonsense though. Theres an undefined line between "Give me something to do" and "gib pulse rifle pls" which is the sweet spot of prayers. Being very verbose and wordy is a nice touch too.
Fancied up altars, multiple people in a circle, people in the seats and shit. That's all big bonus points. Taking bodies for sacrifices is kind of hit and miss, wouldn't recommend.
