goddamn guys, there are so many words here. condense all this down if you really want people engaged
Nukeops is triggered manually, which sets a couple precedents:
- Every nukie knows there's admin oversight, and that they'll be watched
- It's a unique gimmick that is quite rare
- Admins keep you guessing what the point of the nukeops folk is
Due to the fact there's admins about, nukies have a lot of leeway to open discussion with them and negotiate a more fun entry plan. regular players will also understand it's a rare event, and act accordingly
The moment this enters standard RP rotation:
- There is no admin to nukie communication, leaving nukies stranded with a set of RP-inappropriate gear and an rp-inappropriate win condition
- Nukies have less guidance and are mostly unattended with big firearms (this is bad on RP)
- Players who want to RP an extended round will be disappointed (but without a special admin gimmick to make it worth it)
- People will generally assume nukies are always hostile as admins can't subvert expectations or undo damages
Whitelisting an antag is also not fun, there aren't a huge number of people who are whitelisted for anything, even mentor.
Way I see it, it'll become "the round where the whitelist nerds get to ruin 20 minutes of your roleplay by stomping on you with machineguns"
