Weeb jail is not very fun

The jail ninjas put you in is not very fun. Aside from removing you from the round, the design is poo poo and people just suicide since there is absolutely nothing to do.
My favorite part is probably that there are beer kegs but no glasses, or a beer cabinet but it's locked.
I was thinking about remodeling it into something with actual content, but that wouldn't solve the issue of people killing themselves because they're trapped in a box with no escape.
What do you think?

frankly the jail is basically just death, you've been removed from the round. not sure why there's even a physical space for it, the player should just get deleted or something.

I like fucking with the players who go there, to be honest. Please don't remove it.

Y'know what would be fun for weeb baby jail? The gateway dreamseeker rune. Boom, or you can just add more fun things to it like arcade machines, a dance floor. A holographic place that you see in dorms. Y'know the fun stuff. But, make a nearly impossible way to get back just for the antags that get sent there who want there greemtexto. I propose a gateway rune!

Don't get caught then.
You don't deserve entertainment if you lose/fail to take care of yourself.

hmm it needs heals in it as well as more things to do tbh.
repukan your punishment when you get caught by a ninja is removal from the round, there's nothing wrong with adding features to the weeb jail.

Only reason I can think it doesn't kill you is to prevent cloning. It needs more shit to do, hell I'd prefer it if just forced the player into a pAI with their old name.

If someone had sprites for a VR/tron-like space, then maybe the VR pods could get used and there would be a place for weeb-jail people to fuck around in that isn't some sad outdated room.

Why is this even being discussed. Ninja is ancient pile of crap that isn't relevant to the rest of the round/game in general. Click Ninja off, done.

Ah yes, it's a well known fact that if you disable your antag opt in, antags can't touch you. Thank you for clarifying that.

Give the ninja a gay baby jail object that, if smashed, causes all the trapped chumps to spill out
or at least put an ninja-only intercom and ninja-cam in the jail so they can spectate their captor's antics instead of sitting in the do-nothing corner

Rather than improve the jail, why not have an automated system that ransoms the players back to the station if commands pays the credits? Trigger it after the Ninja dies or completes their capture objective.

Not antag options, did I mention it's for players? Turned. Off. Period. Meaning players can't get the prompt ever because ninjas are shit and a symbol of tg's ancient legacy of trashy code that just sits in the base with no direction.

So-so idea, wrong place. Tg doesn't have a working economy to make that matter and secondly no rp atmosphere to make someone care about a ransomed crewman.

Credits are spent on shuttles, no? Isnt that tied to the Cargo credits system? As for the RP, whilst tg certainly does not have a high level of RP, it does have certain players that stand out. Maybe the ninja would go after higher profile crew rather than stack his captures with crappy Assistants. If the ransom is paid, they spawn on the Arrivals shuttle, of not, just delete them or leave them in crappy prison.

It's meant to be a removal from the round... that's the point. If you don't like it, ghost or suicide or talk with other prisoners. Doing something else is also an option.... you're not glued to the screen.

Why not just hellbound and then delete them if it's a round removal?
Permabrig and gulag exist to give a possibility for escape, the ninja's mom's basement is on the centcom z-level and clearly not intended to allow escapes to be possible.
TL;DR If it's not going to be any fun, then why is it there at all?

If it's
supposed to suck, why have it at all? Just delete the mob altogether if that's your reasoning, and you can chat with other prisoners in deadchat.
Personally i'd add VR sleepers. Which might fit nicely in the permabrig too, i think. I know there's a current of thought of "haha you lost you don't
get to have fun", but that seems pretty shitty and unnecessary, if we have the technology to keep someone entertained but confined from the round.

it's not supposed to suck, when you get space ninja jailed it's not through any fault of your own.
Perma brig is the only place to make that argument beesting

What I'm trying to say here is no matter what we add you're still removed from the round and if you don't like it then just suicide. Generally being removed from the round like that isn't very fun and no matter how pretty we make the box it's still a box and you're still stuck in it. Deleting the mob is fine with me, I'd have more fun deleted than stuck in a shitty box anyway.

How is it not your fault? Either you didn't take steps to get away from the ninja or kill it, or you did and you failed. You could make an argument for not deserving it but a lot of stuff happens in this game that you don't "deserve" and that's part of the game.
If you're saying the space ninja is too OP to get away from or kill then thats a problem with the antag not the jail

The obvious solution is make into a true weeb prison with all the ninja's favorite catgirl and tentacle comics. I'm sorry. *Animu's*

I think there's some odd edge case where you can use a hand tele or something to tp out? still not very frequent to warrant people permastuck there when you could just tell them to watch the carnage or be a cool ghost role.

There might be a possible risk of someone with a tracking implant getting teleported to and that person using the hand tele to rescue the prisoners.
Have not confirmed this myself yet.
