Why: It makes complete sense for the clown to be safe from getting slipped. The argument here is that it is quite fun to slip a clown, but that's why I put this idea here. For discussion.

BottomQuark Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Some clowns are already annoying with their slipping, making them unable to be slipped will end up with more clowns that just slip people and give me heart attack. Besides that, slipping clown back is way more funnier than beeing slipped right? It will end up with more annoying clowns, and more annoyed people that now besides stealing clowns PDA, steal their shoes too. More work for security, everyone hates clowns sec detains everyone, etc. etc. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/12883-make-clown-shoes-unslippable/#findComment-106003 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not. Clowns are meant to tell jokes and amuse the crew. Slipping themselves is funny, and serves that. Slipping everyone else whilst being immune to slips themselves.... does not. Hell, I'd go as far as to say that the clown's slip abilities should be nerfed from what they are now - to make them focus on trying to amuse the crew in creative ways, rather than, as is all too common currently, simply being jerks and slipping everyone they can. 2 Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/12883-make-clown-shoes-unslippable/#findComment-106036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenSec Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I think we shouldn't make the clown a more effective troll, instead promote other kinds of pranks for them to pull. How about a cream pie trap? Put on the floor, pie in the face when stepped on. Or a tiny car mech, which is just a tiny clown car that like ten people can fit inside. Give the clown a unicycle, like security has the sec-way. Ideas, man. I got em. Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/12883-make-clown-shoes-unslippable/#findComment-106037 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenSec Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 What is the traitor clown can tele-crystal in circus animals? Dangerous, hostile, big circus animals.

Threeinone Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 an easy way to make slip-free clown shoes is to just throw in some no-slip brown shoes in the washer with a clown stamp in, boom.

yurivw Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Now making it a buyable item for a traitor clown sounds like a great idea! But regular clowns really don't need no-slip shoes imo.

davidchan Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Make slipped clowns do a somersault and be floored as though they just hit some space lube. Because no failure is better than a spectacular failure of a clown eating their own banana slip. Edit: Incase it was unclear, no I do not approve of giving clowns free noslips that would only encourage the dickish behavior of spreading lube/water throughout common hallways and baiting people into chasing them through it.
