Mailmen should be able to travel using mail chutes like Marios - LuigiThirty - 08-23-2017
Why can't people wearing the mailman's jumpsuit and hat travel through the mail system like guys with plumber uniforms and hats can travel through toilets?

This is such a good idea its already in the game

It is? I tried to jump into a mail chute as a Mailman and it said I didn't fit.

It's aptly named the Syndicate Mailman Suit.

OH it's Syndicate only. Well nevermind then.

Why is something that is legitimately interesting for cool shenanigans traitor-only, and for a cycling gimmick job?
As I understand it, the only way you're getting the syndie mail suit is by latejoining an already uncommon job and rolling late traitor specifically.
I think the mail suit deserves more use, either by making it a regular mailman item (i mean, it's already easy to break into places / follow people into secure areas without being an antag, this just makes it cool ) or making it available to more syndies. Appearing in some department's lobby is far from game-breakingly overpowered.

mailman suit makes it easy to avoid security but yes i think having one lying around (not in one place, the hat in one spot and the suit in another) would be good

I don't think it'd be a problem if it were thrown into a derelict or something. Hell, it wouldn't be a problem if it were applied to all mailsuits. You're still inferior to monkeys either way.
I'm totally not saying this because I think it'd be funny to see people fight over a uniform.

Just like the good old days.

Id be okay with the syndicate suit being removed and its functionality being given to the normal mail suit. Like john said its a rare item to see.

It's also not a terribly overpowered item, considering that you're limited to mail chutes, which are static locations which someone could easily check the destination of if they see you go down one.
Heck, there are at least two hand teleporters on the station and you can move those beacons around

Bring back Mario/Luigi/Wario/Waluigi suits being able to travel using the mail slots while you're at it.

These are actually patched to work with toilets, you'll end up at some other random toilet if you drag click yourself if I believe.
I agree the syndicate mailman suits ability to use mailchutes should actually be given back to the normal mailman for 3 reasons:
- IC justice can doled out to anyone abusing it. Literally knock em out and strip them and absorb their tears.
- It's a very minor ability to bypass doors, restricted to one item. And you are stunned for a brief second as you are ejected if I believe.
- It's an extremely underwhelming surplus item. I have never used it as means of escape as it's far too finicky.

The one time I did get it some random mechanic set the mail chutes to feed into the loafer...
