I believe Nuke Ops should get a tactical hold-a-ring so that an experienced Nuke Op can tether around their directionally impaired teammates.

Here's some concept art for potential coders:

Tethers with adjustable lengths would actually be a pretty good idea, not just for nuke ops but for station members as well. A newbie engineer could tether himself to another engineer while setting up the singulo so that if he fucks up and ends up becoming a crispy pinball his buddy can just reel him in

Woody costume bundle for traitors. Costs all a traitor's telecrystals but gives them a Woody costume and a copy of WGW. Wearing the suit makes them spam WGW over the radio nonstop. Hitting people with the WGW book causes them to turn into Andy clones that also spam WGW over the radio before eventually being gibbed.

In that case, you gotta include a whip he can use to knock down people and harmwhip (basically a grapple weapon), it can coil up in his pocket for hiding when stealth woody.

He will also have one minisyndie bomb (think of it as dynamite) and a revolver similar to the Detectives.

Final item he has is a lube nade filled with Cherry Lube, so it looks like the floor is drenched with blood (could serve as a good distraction).

Security should spawn with combat gloves, like nuke ops.
This solves the problem of sec stealing insulated gloves and the glove fibers are unique so that the detective knows who they belong to!

Different mutations would be butt tentacles, jizzing uranium at random times (good for R&D,Mining, and other things, but causes major rad damage), possibly growing a tail, mutating your intestines so you shit all the time, enlarged rectum, causes attraction (mob follows the user around, forced when near), and if human, transforming into a lizardperson or a space bear, if a lizardperson, potential to be a space bear or human.

However, since its nuclear, causes rad damage after every use, potantial to be druggy, dizzy, and faint, and finally, if your fat, this gives you less rad and more chances of mutations.

Didn't Bay have a bunch of hard-coded items given to folks based on their ckey?

Yes, though players needed to make an application on the forums for one.

Ended up with baycode having a bunch of useless flavor items that only ever spawned for one person on one server.

SMASH STATION TV- A random event that will be triggered by admins for special events

CentCom Status

A game show shuttle is docking with the station! He wants the two contenders X and Y. Will you comply?

The shuttle will be a big arena with two entryways for the two specific contenders.
They will pick a class (Sith, Wizard, Gunner, Mech)
Mobs will start flowing the arena, some player controlled, some not, some will be teleported in as enemies (they get there own starting point). After 4 waves of enemies chosen, both classes will fight to the death.

The remaining survivor will win a grand prize (what that is is up to admins)
BIG MONEY, BIG PRIZES, I LOVE IT!

If its a tie, nothing happens and the shuttle will leave (people who are still on it after it leaves will be gibbed)

But however if the station doesn't comply... the competition will find YOU! It can be carp flood, a singulo (most rare), facehuggers, or a bomber.

dezzmont · Post by **dezzmont** » Sat Nov 22, 2014 4:46 am #45113

The medical belt actually probably has the least utility out of any belt, as the medic doesn't normally need so much immediate access space. Almost everything they use fits in boxes meaning their backpack ends up having a storage capacity of 64, which is overkill.

Also medics kinda suck at a lot, them having access to fast loading knockout gear really wouldn't be the end of the world. The belt is mostly good for stabilization medicine or speed loading a syringe gun, the only really viable medical weapon for a department that lacks a lot of power to directly affect other parts of the station in an active way.

However it should go on the chest slot. Allowing you to have 3 belts. And it definitely shouldn't work with belts able to hold things like flashbangs.

But defibs look so classy in your hand...

Their sprite shape and size makes them look like those old fashioned doctor bags. If we had a REAL doctor bag like that, I might wear a defib on my back and carry my shit around, but until then I'd rather haul that thing from room to room while having my stylish if empty backpack on at all times.

Give admins the option to play the sound/command reports associated with certain "random" events without actually spawning the event.

fresh outta singulo.io

You're too dumb to see how it doesn't resemble the actual behaviour of a dog? Like it just ever so slowly walks from tile to tile in the HoP's office all shift, occasionally barking, and will beeline for candy if available? It doesn't actually need to eat, or get exercise, or be looked after like a real dog? Something that might make it rewarding to the player, by virtue of, if they don't look after it, it's going to be miserable?

I'm surprised with Ian's popularity that his mechanics haven't been expanded since his introduction actually. It wouldn't be that hard to code feeding him dog food, and refilling his water bowl, and having to wash him if he gets dirty, and having to take him for a walk if he gets restless.

If Ian sees chocolate he makes a run for it. If he manages to grab it you've got to pry it out of his mouth before he can eat it. Forget beating Ian over the head with an extinguisher to get that corgi meet as a traitor. Complete your objective by dropping some chocolate while the HoP is taking Ian out for a walk and then slipping the HoP before he can stop Ian from eating it.

I was going to add affection mechanics for cats/Runtime but then I saw the dead cat sprite and stopped playing. I guess that was months ago now.
It's not a gorey sprite or anything, but it had to be a black cat didn't it
