A suggestion for an addon to ghosts. Basically turn being dead into a spooky party playground that doesn't effect the round normally unless spaceloot or admins are involved..
Ability to toggle on/off the ability to see an Ethereal Layer as a ghost.
A layer that can only be seen by ghosts, and by people through occasional special/secrets or admin events.
When this layer is visible, ghosts gain a pair of ghostly hands that can only interact with ghostly objects and ghosts. Strewn about the map are ethereal tools and machines ghosts can goof off with without the crew usually knowing.
Example: Use ghost crayons and ghost wire to make art all over the bridge, play ghost arcade games, whack eachother with ghost nerf bats, and cut up/clean up messes made by ghosts via these means.
Could even have a ghost bar on top of the real one. Ghostahol.
All these tools and art and goofing off would be only able to interact with the ethereal layer, but some things in the normal game can remove/alter the ghost layer.
No real reason, just fun goofing off ghost hanging out time.
--------------
Additional possible suggestions:
- Spooky camera space loot that takes pictures. Normal people show up as skeletons, and ghosts show up as nameless apparitions.
- If someone trips over enough balls, (like, 50+ units of lsd or something), they start to see the ghost layer fade in and out amongst the haze. They'd also see ghosts, but the ghosts would look like and be renamed as big scary monsters, and ghosts could click on people who see them in this way to give a fake attack message. Chemists could inject people with tons of drugs and then watch them run around screaming even more than usual.
- Spooky dolls that sometimes spawn hidden in dark places, like maintenance. Don't do anything and are basically a reskinned gnome. Except that if a ghost clicks them (on a cooldown to prevent spam), they might speak a spooky markov bot message (like the medbots but spookier).
