Synopsis: Emily decided to make the nuke able to run around. Apparently they didn't know that it could run around at ghost speeds and did spawn NTSO after the fact when the nuke had +/- 3 minutes on the timer. However, the fact remains that the nuke was simply too fast to even be able to hit it with projectiles. The fact that it couldn't open doors etc. was a moot one since the station had been power sinked and any way that you entered to get to the nuke was a potential exit for it as well and as previously stated there was no way for anyone to catch up with it.
Add to this that almost all of the nuke team had been dealt with before this with only a single disguised nukie still apparently free, it just feels like more of fun for the admin in question and not fun for the overall crew as usually the admin gimmicks go.
Afterward Emily did state that admin gimmicks happen and we're not going to like all of them etc. but usually when they do happen outside of the 13th they have some recourse on the part of the crew. A nuke that runs around faster than bullets is not one that I consider to be in that camp. Even with the NTSO forces being respawned in there was just no way to catch it with everyone else having to be in space suits slowly chasing it around.
I don't know, this is the first complaint I've ever done, but this one really left a bad taste because there was no recourse on the part of the crew to this, despite Emily claiming that we could have still shot it. Trying to get a group of spread out NTSO to catch a nuke running at the speed of a ghost in the pitch black is a near impossibility without the fact that the nuke could run anywhere around the station regardless of its original arming spot.
Like it would have been fine if it didn't move so fast, but having it move faster than anybody could catch it or even shoot it was not fun. Maybe just stop moving once you noticed the move speed and have the nukies drag it around, anything but just running across the station at top speed.
I get that it was only a one round and only a syndie round, but things like this should be straightened with the new admins so that it doesn't get to be the new norm. I like admin gimmicks, but not like this.
