The Hall Monitor: Gimmick job Discussion - Lefinch - 10-10-2024 This one isn't my idea as much as a throwaway comment rapidly developed on by far better and more creative souls and it may end up being directly PR'd but I said I'd codify it into some kind of thread here so the idea isn't lost to discord and to open it to other opinions! I am paraphrasing other players sentiments so it's not a 1:1 representation of the discussion. That disclaimer said: A few of us seemed excited by the idea of having a gimmick job of great and undeniable importance to the station: A hall monitor. The Unholy union job spawn between a HoP, A traffic warden, and the Inspector. General sentiments/brainstorms (again paraphrased from discord) about this idea:
Why? The general sentiment is that as gimmick jobs go the hallways themselves are relatively unclaimed. They may be cleaned by janitors (who also work elsewhere) and modified by engineers, but the very essence of hallwayness has no custodian. Also it seemed like the idea has a lot of room around different gimmicks and interactions: Tolls, no running with scissors, running with scissors. The clown's turned the hallways into a rainbow road? The hall monitor cometh. Syndicate pod has parked itself in front of security and is trying to break through? You can't park that there mate. Discuss, or await a PR. EDIT: That badge (MyBB being my MyBB) RE: The Hall Monitor: Gimmick job Discussion - LeahTheTech - 10-10-2024 I like this more than I thought I was going to, sounds like a funny gimmick role. RE: The Hall Monitor: Gimmick job Discussion - klushy225 - 10-10-2024 I do have a slightly more updated version of the badge sprite, and I would be very happy to make the PR for this. Sounds like a fun idea, and maybe it'll have some effect on the hallway chaos in a good, fun way RE: The Hall Monitor: Gimmick job Discussion - klushy225 - 10-10-2024 https://github.com/goonstation/goonstation/pull/21052 pull request for this created here. I didn't include the sash, as you can only wear one external piece at a time, and I find the ripped up paper to be extremely important RE: The Hall Monitor: Gimmick job Discussion - Lefinch - 10-10-2024 Fair, thank you!
