Distributing/Selling Explosives?

[Sundance]

Most people will not tolerate bombs that can take out entire hallways being spread around the station.

Funny, that's not what I saw when people were growing exploding tomatoes every round and leaving them out in the open for anyone to grab.

If a traitor bribes you to let them go, it's generally the case that he's not capable of murdering the shit out of you at that moment. He might not be able to do it to much of anyone. So you can accept his money because he either hasn't gotten his shit yet or he's trying to be a cool dude and play up a gimmick.

There's very few gimmicks anyone ever does with bombs, if any at all. They exist, sure, whatever, but I can't remember any in all the years I've been playing apart from "blow shit up that kills/inconveniences everyone on the station in an assholish way that makes the game unplayable for the large chunk of the station that can't get internals that are actually worth a damn".

So the example of bribing has no bearing here whatsoever. If he was bribing you to buy a shotgun or something, that's a different story, and I don't know the legality of that in the meta context, but I'd err on saying it's a fucking stupid idea, especially as a sec officer.

Everything and anything in this game is entirely situational and open to interpretation unless it's strictly stated in the rules.
As a sec officer, I'd gladly accept a bribe from a bomb dealer who's got his shit organized and isn't selling to staff assistants.
On the other-hand I have no idea what you are talking about with the explosive tomatoes. Leaving explosive tomatoes out for anybody and anyone to grab is equally shitty if not more shitty (unless that's your point??) and the people who spam the explosions everywhere are also damn shitty.
