Some crazy idea people will laugh at

[Crumplehat]

I don't think you've noticed but this is the server where people can punch eachother to death in the ring and smoke weed and no one will blink as long as it was voluntary.

The closest thing to grief that might fly is having a captain convince the rest of the heads to play a voluntary game of Russian roulette for captain status.

Actually people used to create feces smoke and make incredible slippy messes, just because they could.

I'm pretty certain one of the reasons goons is probably popular is because the admins are willing to carnage things and break monotony.

IIRC there's usually at least one round occasionally where that admin vehicle starts kidnapping people and macho man blows half the station up.

Goonstation is always teetering between serious gameplay and carnage. Lately it's just been traitor bombs, but there was one round where admin spawned martians everywhere (because an unnamed player broke human martian negotiations by drunkenly feeding said martian bootleg vintage 2010, if you know what I mean)

I understand you don't want a vehicle for grief, but this is a server/s where chaos happens anyway.

See the fun thing about the carnage is the spontaneity of it. Repetition can ruin all manner of fun things in no time flat.

I just don't see this engendering creativity. Whenever I'm a traitor and I try to come up with a creative gimmick, if it isn't kneecapped by over-eager vigilantes (people who are acting that way because, as a traitor, I'm free game for them to fuck with), it's done in by other traitors who feel that the only way to traitor is to rampage.

It SOUNDS like a good idea. But I've been around this server long enough to see what kind of shit the crew is capable of when the gloves come off. The comm computers would be destroyed, the AI would be destroyed, and you'd get 200 hour rounds of one guy killing everyone with all the traitor items he's harvested from everyone else. Just because MANY people don't do that doesn't mean jack shit; it only takes one.

That would get old FAST. It wouldn't even take a day. For every person who wanted to come up with a fun gimmick or silly shit to do, there would be a mob of people who would undermine it if not outright brick wall it. All of those naive, hopeful fun people would get jaded on the idea of being fun at all and would just leave, and only the asshole rampagers would remain.

But yeah hey it's the most fun thing in the world watching cloaking c-saber traitors with TK kill everyone right.
