Monologue button
Posted: Sun Jul 10, 2016 11:41 am
I know that this suggestion is dumb as shit but I want to at least raise the idea of something which would allow people to push powergaming aside for just a second, and allow cool rp shit to happen. So keep that in mind, even if you instantly dismiss this post.
So what if we had a button which let us tell people we want to monologue without being fucking shot?
Say you're a traitor and you want to make a dramatic entrance because drama is fucking cool you can't deny that okay. A Roboticist is giving mechs to Sec for Sec reasons, talking about "yeah we'll secure this shit right up yo". Then you walk out from behind the mech with a fuckin trenchcoat and a revolver or something dicky like that and you wanna say something cool, and then have your traitor buddies come out of the shadows and take out sec from behind while you take the mech and fuck the station up. It'd be cool as fuck, you know it, it'd be some cool-ass Metal Gear shit.
So you walk your ass out from behind the mech and before you can even type a single letter, you get Tazed and spaced. And that my friends, is why we need a monologue button! Simply press the hotkey shift-M (or use the verb monologue if you're shit and don't use hotkeys) and a big speech bubble will display near your character, telling everyone to listen to your ass. And then, press shift-N to display that you're finished talking. Obviously this would be abused into oblivion so there should probably be rules about that shit.
Man I don't know I just want to say cool shit without being powergamed to death okay.
