Purpose2 Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 The idea: Allow the HoP to bold certain job titles for late joiners, to encourage them to pick that job over another. The details: Simple addition to the job slot page of the HoP console. All it does is bold the job you want to encourage people to join with. IC reasoning is the HoP is telling Centcomm to prioritise which roles you could really do with hiring/transfering aboard Use cases: A need for a trial. Bolding Magistrate... Magistrate players would love to be given something to actually do, and in half of the round types (blob/nukies etc) they are entirely superfluous Chief engineer let the engine loose? Got fired? Half of the Engineering team are cultists? Syndie macro bombs all over the show? Bold Engineer. Security Officer. Oh god, we need more officers. *sounds of toolboxes in the distance* FAQs Doesn't this effectively enable meta comms in what is needed? Yes, but realistically NT would/should be able to prioritise hiring, so I don't think thats a bad thing at all. Won't a HoP open a hundred clown slots and bold clown? And unless they get hijack, that is a bannable offense... and if they are hijackers... overloading the station with clowns is a valid tactic... CLOWN We never have any job slots anyway, whats the point? For half the day, we aren't at high pop, and there are indeed multiple job slots open. Also, there are umpteen job slot PR's in the works or already on github. ------------ Thoughts? 4 Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/9905-hiring-preferences/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyet Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 I've already got the code that implements this, saved on my desktop. I was just waiting for https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/6766 to go through before I put up a new PR for it. Originally it was part of that PR, but I took it out because Neca wanted the two features to be separate. 1 Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/9905-hiring-preferences/#findComment-82556 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPK Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 +1 Side note, opening more clown slots really shouldn't be a bannable offense. Playing as the clown doesn't give one a grief/shitler card.

Canadian_Bac0n Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 This will definitely solve the problem of greytide saying "What jobs are availible?" when you just told the person infront of them to be more specific Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/9905-hiring-preferences/#findComment-84479 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarakoniWarhawk Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 It's already a thing on TG, the HOP can flag jobs as high priority and has been a thing for a long while. It's a useful idea.
