Cogmap 2: *** UPDATE TO BYOND 509 ASAP ***

[Frank_Stein]

Riots are inherently impossible really as they involve large amounts of people fucking shit up, and the only people who are allowed to fuck shit up are antagonists. The rest of the riot can only shout and make scream emotes and can be really ignored. It is again the tightrope of moderating the server in a way that does let it become a griefing sim but without stifiling emergent gameplay.

Maybe if rev weren't so horrible we could actually have viable riots.

I had an old thread about gangs, and how they could be improved by making them not regulated to gang mode, and making them somewhere between Miscreants and Antagonists and essentially acting like a third party between the Station Crew vs. Antagonist dynamic. With this much larger station, I think the ideas from that thread would work a lot better and give Sec a reason to need riot gear.
