The Clown Paradigm

[DyssalC]

in ye olde days clown was the most robust job. if you keep getting griefed you are not ready to put on the maske

I wasn't around during those times but I can certainly say that the response to the clown choking a man while removing their backpack to retrieve his stolen mask isn't a pleasant one, and security is never happy when a clown stuns and strips the CE so they can get their outfit back. And the lynch mobs keep forming when you flashbang spam the barman for taking your shoes. Not to mention how angry sec gets when you steal all their shit for revenge purposes.

Like, I get it. The clown has to be able to take the frequent beatings and such, and also has to be able to deal with their own grief related problems, but quit encouraging clown grief by non-antags with this sort of shitty attitude about "oh just deal with it you're the clown" bullshit. Seriously, it's not fun. A lot of people play clown for reasons that aren't "I want a justifiable reason to hunt down and fuck up some random asshole for taking my stuff when I tripped and fell."
