Idea for a HoP Traitor Item - Ed Venture - 02-27-2017
Spare ID box that act like normal IDs but can stun the people who wear them from the PDA. Lethal shocks cause the ID to catch fire.
EDIT:How many uses Non-Lethal shocks can have and how lethal the lethal shocks can be I leave for any would-be coder to decide.
Thoughts?

Words cannot describe how much i love this idea.

What if the id had a chance to give you a near lethal shock at random when opening doors?
Another idea that could be fun would be that doors have a chance to purposely try to crush people with the id when they pass throughÂ
Would need to be not terribly obvious that you have a rigged id. Pherhaps youre just incredibly unlucky

You would be able to shock them at any time with your PDA though there would be a cool down and I would assume that would also expose you as a traitor. So you would have to be selective to who you give the IDs to and have perfect timing. I want this item to have some risk to using it.

I'm fine with that but any lethal shock random or not would still burn the ID.

Or make it shock people trying to open doors the ID doesn't have access to.
Like :
Staff Assistant - Could I get access to toxins and chemistry ?
HoP - Yes, just give me your ID.
The HoP proceeds to make a trapped ID with plain staff assistant access with the victim's name, switch the IDs, hand it back, and wait.

They could also blame it on the AI and get it in trouble.

Add a special flavor text to it, for instance a weird buzz coming from the ID interface of the door.

The issue with that is that if the person doesn't die outright from the shock - and hopefully they shouldn't, this seems a bit too cheap for an instakill weapon - then anyone who's played for more than a day will put two and two together, toss the ID away and start up an angry mob after getting healed up.

maybe the evil id could have a way for the evil hop to remotely revoke its permissions in order to trap the victim places, too. and theyll still get zapped if they try the doors. provoke bad reactions from various other mechanical items and entities
but um
if youre relying on doors to be the sole shock delivery system, ive got some bad news about how yellow gloves are a very popular clothing item and not hard to get
oh, heres an idea
the tampered id occasionally send out an invisible grav pulse that hurls items towards its wearer. this will be damaging and will look like a wraith haunting targeting the wearer. so, not only will it be harassing and damaging the wearer, it may also provoke a false wraith panic

this would be more interesting if it had interactions with things that necessitated use of ids beyond doors
like vending machines for example
you could try to buy something, only for it to shoot something out at you as if it were hacked, or more rarely cause it to tip over and fall on you
RE: Idea for a HoP Traitor Item - misto - 03-02-2017
its too bad vending machines shooting stuff at ppl does pathetically tiny damage, probably because theyre all smallish items such as you would find in vending machines
buff vending mmachine shot da,mage
oh
heres and ide
when the person puts the evil trick id into their pda, the hop can have their own evil pda program to do i dont know with the targets pda. send nasty messages as them and ruin friendships perhaps.
maybe it could import a fake telecrystal buyscreen into the pda, or import incriminating fake chatlogs, or
