Because the thread from a while back about giving the Detective more stuff has vanished into the ether in the transition to the new condensed style, and the only other mention is in the perpetually-ignored General Suggestions thread, I figured I ought to repost at least the bit about a traitor item, because quite a few players liked the sound of it.
The Detective doesn't have a traitor item, which is weird. It's a very cool job, and yet he doesn't get anything special to go with it. I propose that he get an absolutely ludicrously powerful revolver, a la Dirty Harry.
I'd say it should be 7 Telecrystals for the gun with one extra speedloader and 3 Telecrystals for two extra speedloaders worth of ammo. It should hit like a truck, ignoring armor and possibly even knocking people backwards or going through them and hitting people behind them.
Another suggestion for it that I liked would be the power to, by clicking on someone at point-blank with the Harm intent, to trigger a ~10 second execution. A short series of messages would play, and at the end, one round would be expended and the target's head would be completely gibbed, preventing cloning or borging.
Weavel, who brought it up in the GenSuggestion thread, called it the Robusto .45, which is a perfect name. Using *monologue while holding it should cause the Detective to speak Dirty Harry's famous "do ya feel lucky, punk" speech.
