Pre-round statement from a red-texter.

"OOC: HydroFloric: Please do not hoard tokens folks or the token gnelf will take em"

What?

What does this mean? What is meant by 'hoard'? How many is 'hoard'? Why is it fair that an admin can arbitrarily decide I have too many tokens that I got from having an admin gently caress my round up or a sever crash dunking something fun I was doing as a traitor or whatever, and snatch them?

What the gently caress is this poo poo?

I asked in game as the statement was made near round start but whoever this admin is never bothered to clarify it at all, despite me questioning on the radio multiple times.

If you hoard tokens the token gnelf will take them, how is this unclear?

yeah that was definitely a joke, we are not in the business of deleting players' antag tokens. in fact if we caught someone doing that it would be a serious deal and they might even get kicked off the team if they'd been actually doing it.

Huh, okay. It was just a pretty sideways statement out of like, just people talking about tokens pre-round? And it was plausible that someone would say that earnestly for things I've seen in the past. Boo on me.

Actually implement a token gnelf that takes away tokens from people who got too many at roundstart, then make them spawn hidden on the station with a crew-wide announcement that whoever gets the killing blow recieves the tokens it stole. Make it the most annoying fucker to chase down and kill ever, teleporting around, health regen, etc so that the entire crew is busy constantly going on back and forth, breaking into departments, setting poo poo on fire and just causing utter chaos until someone finally emerges victorious.

Then they become the token gnelf and it all begins anew.

Make it a tiered token system if people are actually holding onto them in quantity. One token gets you al the normal antags, some higher value gets you a Maetcho Mahn or Badmin Bus or something.

I think I can simplify this: name one monkey the token gnelf and give the ability to steal tokens.

i'm just picturing a chemnerd trying to mix whatever and then a gnelf appears. they give a quiet "oh no" followed by a giant mob of assistants tearing everything apart

Friend to Fishes. Just keep swimming.
I think I have an antag token or two, but the one time I tried it, I forgot where I put all my landmines were and blew myself up going to help a guy. And I felt bad about the one guy I did blow up because he was nice but not sharp.


Basically, I would mostly antag to troll over harm. Because if I don't have the entire security department reenacting Keystone Kops, am I really living?

Changeling seems stupid easy. I was a chemist, so I was prepared to use all kinds of chems to aid my foul designs, but...it turns out that “hey, can I have a quick word with you in private?” is all you really need. I had 13 or so kills, and that was definitely not playing optimally—for instance, I mistakenly thought ‘Lings were immune to radiation and died while trying to secure a “free” kill. Luckily, my headspider bailed me out.

Best Changeling round I ever had was when I, a completely normal Captain and definitely not a Changeling, smoked a truly incredible quantity of weed with the Botanists for the first third of the round, spent the second third of the round making monkeyhumans and absorbing them (as one does), and spent the final third of the round wandering the station in a stoned haze, complimenting people on what a good job they were doing, regardless of what they were doing or whether it could reasonably be called "good" by any metric. At some point I went into horrorform for some reason I forget, but nobody batted an eye, as that's a normal human thing that normal Captains do under normal circumstances.

In the end, I was devoured by a rogue singularity just outside the escape shuttle, moments before it departed. The crew expressed grief at my death and lit joints in honour of the most normal Captain they had ever had.

You were a productive and positive leader of your crew.

By all rights you should be shot for treason against Nanotransen for breaking the regulations set out for Captains;

Safeguard the disk.

Be drunk/high at all times.

Do not all crew to progress in their careers or be productive in their departments.

Not only is this obviously a joke and the admin community would take disciplinary action on anyone who would arbitrarily remove tokens from a player, but we checked and you had no tokens on your account to begin with :raise:

Assistants spawn with grey jumpsuits. The entire job of the assistant is to be as annoying, useless, and insane as possible.

No one notices the greysuit until they stab you in the back. With the toolbox. Somehow.
