Re: Hypnosis/Brainwashing Guidelines


At this point we're just introducing another silicon policy tier of bullshit to have to keep in mind for this game it seems like; personally I'd argue for the flat out removal of hypnoflash and hypno grenades, or reworking them into being a lot more stock usable, ie flash someone and they are ...

Re: Hypnosis/Brainwashing Guidelines

It isn't a personal attack; it's an explanation.

You are mad that the crew doesn't want to spend the whole round drawing portraits of you.

Well when it isn't true, that's for sure what it looks like. I cannot overstate how little my playstyle is germane to this thread, even if it was true. I ...

Re: Hypnosis/Brainwashing Guidelines


An example I have of the kind of hypnosis things you do is this: a while back you did the crab phone + hypnogrenade combo to make everyone a fan of the black eye'd peas, IIRC it got like 10+ people. You then played music on a table in the bar. It was funny, but the issue is you then continued to ...

Re: Hypnosis/Brainwashing Guidelines


Without a formal end to the objective, a bad hypnosis objective might as well be as good as round removing someone. Recently I spent over an hour in a round on manny with the hypnosis objective "for the love of GOD can someone please clean the chapel" and I did clean the chapel, but at what point ...

CONSTRUCTION: Cover the station in dangerous kudzu. Help your fellow crewmates become a pod person. Become a pod person. In that order.

ANTAGONIST: You are the baron of the station, fabulously wealthy and powerful, but the crew has turned against you. You must make a deal with the devil and ...

In the end, every objective would need to boil down to either obey my orders or you are evil to really have any hope of trauma retention .

Fancy schmancy prose aside, or more so above, this is not a full condemnation of hypno nor brainwashing. I do think it can be done well, and I like the concept of such things.

Re: Hypnosis/Brainwashing Guidelines


There is certainly an ineffable level of concern one SHOULD take when it comes to giving brainwash objectives; I agree with the idea of accomplishing objectives, or ending in a reasonable amount of time, because both are relatively likely to either finish out your round or make both of you go loud ...

Hypnosis/Brainwashing Guidelines

For my own reference, and to bring attention to the matter, I need clarification on the rules of being a hypnotized/brainwashed victim, and how easy it is to detect and enforce when those rules are broken.
What I expect to see is a good faith interpretation of the objective that is actively being ...

Re: Proposed Hypnogrenade Changes


i liked the idea of a forced hypno message. any other increase in power has the potential to make it really strong. it seems that if thrown into a room of the entire station, you tend to get only 3-4 people. I think that's reasonable if you could set a specific hypno message and not lose 13 TC ...

Proposed Hypnogrenade Changes

As it currently stands, the hypnogrenade is an incredibly niche traitor item that is outclassed by the hypnoflash in every way.
In order to make effective use of the hypnogrenade, you must:
-Have eye protection or be blind
-Have ear protection or be deaf
-Use a screwdriver to reduce the timer delay ...
