Traitor Gimmix 101
pizzatiger Wrote:Breaking News Developing... WARNING ANGRY RANT Breaking News Developing...

I been noticing a trend for a while. The only atang job that ANYONE ever does a gimmic in is Traitor. I think we need some more gimmics for wizards, changlings, vampires and nuke agents.
I do see gimmick runs with other antag roles, the reason regular traitors do it more often is that they have fun toys that aren't actually that useful if you actually want to "win". Lings probably have it easiest since they at least can blend in easily, the other day Roomba went around as a ling spitting at people and turning them into shitty bill with strange reagent.
Never played vamp, can they drink blood out of containers? If so I could imagine a vamp going around as a medic asking for blood donations. Especially once pathology hits you could tell them it's for that.

Nuke agents are tricky since you are supposed to be working as a team and with all the weapons they get they are basically THE antag role for rampages. Doing something obvious like asking to trade for the disk basically reveals the gamemode which results in the crew arming itself and protecting the disk. And unless the rest of the operatives stand down you will never be able to arrange that trade.
I can see two ways to do a gimmick:
  1. If the operatives manage to grab the disk really quickly, maybe without the crew even noticing, you might get the others to agree to give the crew a chance to win back the disk. This is usually because a bad captain just left the disk in his office and any further rampaging is just operatives satisfying their murderboners. Maybe make up a little quiz show, challenge them to honorable combat or how about you demand 100 servings of spaghetti and meatballs. If they call the shuttle and refuse to recall it you arm the nuke. Or if you can grab a head ID you can set up the COMmaster console on the mining level and guard the disk over there. The crew will have to fight you to get it back since you can recall the shuttle yourselves.
  2. The other way I could see working would be to grab a bunch of hostages and try to make a hostage exchange. Maybe some beloved station pets.
Other than that you can do a gimmick by yourself but it shouldn't compromise the rest of the team unless they say it's fine
