Nautilus, I actually took the time to read your effortpost, and it saddens me that you don't actually read my posts properly at all.
Funnily enough, I replace my ID with Judge dredd in conjuction with a gasmask whenever I get mindslaved.
It's funny because it's actually not in me to be a murderous supercop, in fact I am normally pretty peaceful and lax when it comes to anything. You'd know this if you played with me as sec.
Again, it saddens me that you literally skimmed over what I said, and actually what others said too. I rarely, rarely, kill another player. But sometimes lethal option has to be considered. Please go ahead and tell me how you are going to stop a rampaging shambling abomination with a taser? Or a full blooded vampire? Or a syndicate pod that's shooting out escape? Or a stimmed up maniac? Or a rogue bot?
I know security isn't meant to stop everything, and I agree it shouldn't be so easy for a HoS to kill something, but hell, sometimes lethal fights can be exhilarating for both parties.
Also:
But if anyone should be trusted with having a lethal option on the station, it should be the HoS. I don't see how you don't understand this. Lethal doesn't necessarily mean kill either. I normally fire lasers at a wizard because a) it doesn't instantly stun them and ruin their round and b) when they are incapacitated, I cuff and heal them. That's why I said there should be non-bleeding bullets in the hos's locker. Same with most of the shit I explained.
All in all, your whole argument is pretty weak because
a) You didn't counterpoint any of what I said, you kinda just rambled.
b) If you did read what I said, you'd notice I am all for changing the armory up

Quote: I and several other Head of Security players agree that the purpose of security should be of a less-lethal nature

Quote:Also, I am now leaning away from the HoS getting an energy rifle in his locker if it means he can get lethal bruising (non bleeding) bullets in his locker, and bullets actually do damage against rogue bots. This way, it wouldn't be so easy for a stun --> switch modes --> kill, the HoS would have to empty out his spacker before going with the intent to kill.You didn't read this did you? I am all for changing up the armory, giving stun spackers and tear gas and stuff.

Quote: I don't know why people keep critising riot shields because they were awful. Concentrate on what was suggested here and now.i.e: Stop comparing. Look at what I or weavel has suggested for riot shields. Stop looking back at the past.
Quote:It has become your agenda, be it even subconscious, to give yourself an advantage over everybody on the station just because you filled in an application. That line of thinking is horrid and it perverts the mission of the Head of Security role.How droll.
