What's a lynching good for if not for hanging?
You know you want it.

Wearing a noose on your own neck and either right-clicking or alt-clicking (Or anyone who drags your sprite onto theirs can) hang it from a ceiling. While hanging from a ceiling, you are considered to be restrained and cannot move or be pushed/pulled in any manner.
You quickly take oxygen damage while being hung but you can resist out of it as you would if you were cuffed after half a minute, unless you're handcuffed already in which case you need to resist out of the cuffs first. You do not take oxygen damage if there is no gravity in your area or you belong to a NO_BREATH species.
Yes, I am suggesting the ability to actually be able to lynch people.
It'd make for a nice way for sec to conduct executions, though I guess they could always meathook people which has a sorta peculiar charm to it. I remember a time when HoG was in and while I was wandering around trying to figure out what to do (I never did) I discovered the enemy cult leader burnt to a crisp, popehat still on, hanging upside down from a meathook in the middle of the courtroom.AnonymousNow wrote:Honestly, the "RACISM IS A FRESH AND FUNNY MEME GUISE" crowd doesn't need more fuel for their dumpster fire.

why can't this just be a line of text for suiciding with a cable coil (eg. "[name] is wrapping a wire around their throat - it looks like they're trying to commit suicide!") or something instead of some meme feature that probably won't be used except to encourage more lame racism shitHathkar wrote:I'm also for new and interesting ways to suicide in SS13.

If you don't realize that this will change RACE WAR NOW from a few rounds a day to literally every other round for at least a month after implementation, then you should think about it awhile until you realize it will.PKPenguin321 wrote: What does this actually mean that you're so afraid of
That it will be used to beat a lizard corpse for a round or two? People do that regardless
In fact, this is already implemented, you just have to have a stool.Qbopper wrote:

And after that month is over, I'd like you to ask yourself what this actually adds to the game.
Even a cursory examination of the historical context of the noose, at least in the United States -- which I understand is not inclusive of everyone who plays on our servers -- shows that more than enough cultural baggage exists alongside the noose to indicate, at the very least, that it is often associated with racist imagery.ShadowDimentio wrote:Nooses aren't racist, don't be Goon-tier pussies that deny ideas because "it COULD be racist!!"

I think the admins are severely overstating the amount of players that would take this being added as validation to break rules and kill people fnr, and if they aren't breaking the rules then lynching lizards/antags/sec/heads/cats/niggers/everyone is just a particularly grandiose murderbone gimmick, which I would say is good.feem wrote:The new question: is there any way you think adding this would turn out well for the administrators or players of this game?

i don't really think many people would overescalate and if they do they eat a ban so who cares, that isn't really the point being made
and if they aren't breaking the rules then lynching lizards/antags/sec/heads/cats/niggers/everyone is just a particularly grandiose murderbone gimmick, which I would say is good
in what universe is "lol i take ur tail and hang u" clever or fun for parties other than the person doing the lynching

Using a meatspike is basically the spess equivolent of hanging people anyway. People will find a way to lynch with or without the noose. I like the idea of nooses and traitors/suicides hanging from nooses.AnonymousNow wrote:Honestly, the "RACISM IS A FRESH AND FUNNY MEME GUISE" crowd doesn't need more fuel for their dumpster fire.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say people understand the point you're making, they just think having them for funny situations would outweigh the few people who use it to HANG THE LIGGERS!Qbopper wrote:i think you're also kinda missing the point

the point I'm trying to make is that the funny situations would last for a day or two and then it would be used for the edgy racism memes, but I could be wrong, it's happened beforeExcessiveJMadison wrote:I'm going to go out on a limb here and say people understand the point you're making, they just think having them for funny situations would outweigh the few people who use it to HANG THE LIGGERS!Qbopper wrote:i think you're also kinda missing the point

Only I don't think they would do that (maybe for a day) for that long. Killing a lizard is just killing a lizard regardless of how you do it, and people have been doing it for a long time. They would get bored much faster than that.feem wrote:If you don't realize that this will change RACE WAR NOW from a few rounds a day to literally every other round for at least a month after implementation, then you should think about it awhile until you realize it will.PKPenguin321 wrote: What does this actually mean that you're so afraid of
