It was just supposed to be a quick "Haha! Surprise!" moment for the crew. Basically, a funny "chase the chicken leg nuke around the station" thing. I ended up getting caught by the crew, twice, and nearly died, but both times this happened the syndicates bailed me out. From within the round, it seemed like everyone was having fun (deadchat was full of people laughing) and after the nukies killed everyone I made everyone NTSO so that they could have another go of it.
After the round was over we talked about it and you had some criticisms, which I acknowledged as best I could.
Admins do gimmicks. Sometimes that admin fucks up and it isn't as fun as it was supposed to be. Sorry.
Maybe I don't quite understand what the problem is, but this seemed like a perfectly normal situation where things don't go quite right, and not that big of a deal. I don't know what additional "recourse" you expected or wanted from me.
Maybe I'm more accustomed to the gimmicks of the older admins who know the ins and outs of what could happen with what they do, but it just felt really half baked at least from the inside. I was the captain that round and was probably one of the last crew members alive, having taken down two syndicates myself only to find the nuke speeding around the station with no option of coming on top even while chasing you with a csaber I stole from another syndie.
Like I completely acknowledge that sometimes things don't go the way you plan at first, but when they don't, you should reconsider if you should continue on that original, screwed up path in the first place. I didn't know anything about the deadchat because I was alive until the end of the round and to me it seemed like a pretty raw deal for the amusement of someone else, regardless of respawning people as NTSO with +\- 3 minutes remaining.
But yeah, no hard feelings and all, but if things go sideways with something you're doing, I'd just like some consideration as to if you should be continuing doing the thing that went sideways or maybe consider toning it down. Something like maybe stopping running around at the speed of a ghost would have been a reasonable recourse when you noticed the unintended effect?
