Make martian diplomat a reguar game mode - VictorMAngoStein - 06-11-2014
So someone in another thread posted a story about how an admin played a martian diplomat and forced other players to kill eachother for his amusement, until finally the OP forcefed him a glass of pee. Naturally I want this to happen more often.
One player would be the martian diplomat, his objective would be to make the heads of staff surrender. If the captain uses the commaster to sever contact with earth, the martians win.
Three players would be generals who would not spawn at the start of the round. They would observe what the martian sees for a limited radius, and in the event of a diplomatic incident, would invade the space station. However, since the martian overlord does not like to waste slaves, they would only be able to invade if they actually see a crewmember kill the diplomat (or make him drink pee, whatever works.) so for the crew to win they have to arrange an accident to murder the diplomat (or kill him with a a proximity bomb.) If there is no recorded evidence that the diplomat was murdered the generals can't invade.

Reminds me of the round where all of sec were given orders to silently kill the crew. An investigator came, was killed by an officer, and then the officer was put on trial by... security.
But this would end up with people killing the diplomat on site to start an invasion.

If this round type does ever actually become something, it should start with the Martian Generals each choosing a room to demolish from the Station at the start of the round, then the Station getting a messaging saying "X, Y, and Z rooms are scheduled for demolition by the Martian Liberation Army. You have 30 seconds to comply via evacuation of these areas. Non-compliance will result in termination." purely as a means for the Martians to assert supremacy over the Station and make them fear reprisal. Plus it allows the Martians to take out key-points in the Station like the Armory or Engine and soften it up for a potential invasion, otherwise they're basically just Syndicates with less manpower.
Sadly, I don't think it's meant to be. It's just too complex for a normal round. It's best as an admin event.

It would not work as a regular game mode.
