wait wait wait you should have clarified that this is a space station 13 thing
...mars all the loving way
blf playing SS13 is something that needs to happen, given how crazy our community already is.
I'm thinking of it in a way that everyone is suggested to take certain roles (Mining, repairing, security, medical stuff like that) but they're not forced to do anything, leaving people free to do whatever they want. The only thing to balance this out is that there will be cloning vats that allow you to have an extra life, but only one extra life at a time. This way, you don't have to complain about being "Freekilled", and there's still somewhat of a consequence for dying too much.
I spliced up a custom chatmod that allows you to change your name, and your methods of chatting are only through talking, whispering, yelling or using your radio. You can only hear across the radio if you're holding it out, too. This feeds to the feeling of isolation, which is an effect I strive to achieve in most of my more intricate servers.
Along with the feeling of isolation, any of the events that happen won't exactly come with alarms and stuff. Nobody is told what is going on, they have to find out for themselves. This way, if people hang out in the lower areas, they will have no idea what's going on in the upper areas.
