Neon Broken Event: Kill StirStir - Prompt Ghosts to Become StirStir

[Skotcher]

On the map Neon, an objective for crew with the Broken effect can be to kill StirStir. I think it would make for a more fun objective if ghosts were prompted to become StirStir when this particular event triggers.

Without any real thought into it: That's pretty funny, though I also initially think it should be occasional enough that broken don't -expect- it, because it's also funny if they're as surprise as anyone else.

How do you handle it when the broken get unbroke but stirstir is still alive? Do we just have a funny monkey hanging around for their crimes/witness protection? I'm not saying that's bad, just curious how you see that one playing out and how to handle it.

I think it would be nice in general if a ghost could on very rare occasions turn into stirstir and try a breakout

[aft2001]

named monkeys occasionally becoming sentient would definitely be amusing for sure

Could be pretty cool, although I imagine you'd have to give StirStir the same restrictions as ghost critters (maybe excluding the attacking people one) to prevent people abusing it too much as a free revive. Honestly you could also extend the same system to some of the other command pets (maybe not George due to the whole immortality bit) so that some of the goals are a bit more diverse

In my mind, if you can survive as StirStir, then you get to remain playing as StirStir. I also think that it could be interesting if spawning as StirStir would give you antag status. The main reasons being: You're already a wanted criminal, the punishment for being caught is permabrig, and you're really fighting against the odds at the start of that event since you have no gear and will soon have tons of people rushing to get you. Escaping from the brig, if you can pull it off, could make for some interesting gameplay and give legitimate reason as to why StirStir will need to be returned to the brig. 

The other thought is just that it's a limited time thing, just like being broken. You get to play as StirStir, are given antag status for the length of being broken, and when the broken status is over, you either are no longer an antag/you return to being a ghost.

Having another antag could be a lot for lowpop, but I think the rarity of the event and the requirements for getting to play as StirStir AND make it out alive would lead to interesting scenarios that would help shake up what happens on a round to round basis.

Being able to rarely haunt station monkeys is funny and really good

I can't tell you the amount of times I've taken possession of Stir Stir secretly. If you move in a delayed, semi random pattern, people usually won't the the wiser anything is off

i love the idea of stirstir suddenly snapping awake, like they just realised something's wrong. and shortly after, doing their absolute best to break out of brig and run from the broken armed with knives, a cleaver and the occasional scrap glass spear

I survived an Ass Day round as a ling way back when by eating Mrs. Muggles, ditching everything but the jumpsuit, and "randomly" wandering into escape and onto the shuttle.

That is extremely surprising to me, considering even not on ass day players are near overjoyed to kill monkeys when given the chance

on ass day people were more focused on killing everyone else

Becoming stirstir is always fun.

Strongly agree it clearly like mini big event since most antag love to try kill it while most sec love to protect it.
this objective clearly best to create event.
