Security - The Thread

[Sundance]

Okay. So let's say an antagonist doesn't want to get sent to the brig because it's boring. What do you think they're going to do?

Probably suicide. Great job, you've eliminated a player from the game. 

Or, maybe they just don't do anything at all. Now we've got an unofficial extended round.

You guys can talk about how much you miss cracking skulls, but don't be surprised when you've created boring rounds for yourselves 

Keep on topic guys.
A guy suiciding when caught is a culture issue. Its poor behavior on their part and part shortsighted part not having a plan b
Look I'm not saying have a Gestapo here nor am I saying that security shouldn't have alternatives. If you read my first post, I state that I'd like more punishments that can be done outside the brig in general.
Let's look at cog 2 genpop. I'm of the opinion that it's both too secure and too easy to break out of. Firstly on your own, unless you have tools or tampered with it prior, your stuck. But if there's two people I'm there, you can break out very quickly if not noticed, by table flipping. A remedy to that would be for it to have an alarm as you'd be very quickly noticed, but your still fucked if your brigged on your own.

Now now look at cog 1 genpop. You can break out in a very short time to the left, either disposaling yourself or you could be extra cheeky and break another window and steal a pod. Above there's a risky option of going north and doing belt hell, you'd live if you barcode yourself and use some meds.
Below is 3 tiles away from a disposal but its in sec main. To the right if you have 2 people you can tableflip yourself to freedom in a very short time

So where's the happy medium? Cog2 has one method of escape (with only 2 people) while Cog1 has 4. 

I think a brig breakout needs to be exciting, and somewhat lengthy. I'm think at least 2 if not a creative third methods of breaking out is required, but it needs to be fresh and it shouldn't be easy.
