Arkanot Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Let's face it: some people are really really good at fighting. When you take someone down with intent on capturing them, you have one of two choices: tie them up right away, risking your target letting out a few peeps, or take off their headpiece and risk getting rekt. I suggest Rags for Gags 2016. Use those useless rags lying around as a gag, similar to how the muzzle and ball gag works. It would be a cheap, easy way to mute people. If muting people is OP, replace all text spoken with "Greytide mumbles." This would help close the skill gap between players and put more advantages in the lap of the antag.

Littlbear Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 very smart, I usually slip someone, cuff, then remove headset and hope my name wasnt mentioned as they screamed for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habalabam Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Maybe my confusion reveals my lack of robustness, but how would gag help? Will you not face the same predicament? Do you expect that applying a gag will be quicker than removing a headset? Do you expect to apply a gag simultaneously with cuffing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keroman Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Gag first, stun again if possible, cuff? I really do support this idea but there should be a few more rags that spawn in. Maybe random spawn in maint. Does the janitor have rags? I've never really played that job. Only rags I know of off the top of my head are in the bar, kitchen, and old bar.

Shadeykins Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 A big appeal to me about SS13 is that while there are a lot of skillgap closing mechanics, it still features a lot of skillbased movements/decisions and the relative tact with which you act actually has payouts and planning/forward thinking can give you a solid advantage. There's plenty of chems (Some even attainable legally) that will mute, or mute & paralyze a person almost instantly. All it takes is a syringe gun or a hypo. Pop and stun. Most antags also have valid ways of muting/silencing their targets before taking them out - the only exception I can think of is vampires and wizards and I'm not even positive on that. This sounds like it just lends an advantage to self-antagging or cults, neither of which need the advantage (since cults already have instant stun, instant mute, 15 sec paper).
