Implement Spy-Theft mechanics with QM traders - Flourish - 08-18-2017 Basically, have certain traders request random items (trinkets, limbs, extravagant chocolate gateaus, etc.) every new market shift. Offering prices should be pretty high in order to motivate bored quartermasters. This would also add an interesting dynamic to actual Spy-Theft rounds. RE: Implement Spy-Theft mechanics with QM traders - Bologna Prime - 08-18-2017 I like this. It'd add a method of making money for shipping that isn't just hoping a miner graces you with valuable ores and hauling stuff from one area to another. RE: Implement Spy-Theft mechanics with QM traders - Xaviens - 08-19-2017 This could actually add some actual job-related activities to a good number of roles, especially if you include the "____'s (organ, limb, ID card)" bits. Getting those parts within a shift, without being a traitor? "Hey MD we need to "Acquire" one of the Janitor's lungs, can you help?" RE: Implement Spy-Theft mechanics with QM traders - pizzatiger - 08-19-2017 The items should be the same as the spy bounties during spy thief rounds, to allow the Spies to have some sort of alibi RE: Implement Spy-Theft mechanics with QM traders - Salami Sam - 08-19-2017 This is a great idea.

RE: Implement Spy-Theft mechanics with QM traders - Nnystyxx - 08-20-2017 I love this idea RE: Implement Spy-Theft mechanics with QM traders - Firebarrage - 08-21-2017 I feel like this might be seen as a reason to commit traitorous acts like chopping off an arm when you are not a traitor. If this was done it should be limited to items not vital to the station, which just brings it to how it currently is.

There are some people that love to take anything they can get, and toe the line with their behavior whenever possible. Maybe just swap crew limbs for monkey limbs? Now, instead of Random Player's left leg, you're gonna have to get Mr. Rathen's (which, actually, might be more difficult). What other items do you think there would be an issue with stealing/selling? |
