Rampages are fine. I do and still plan to do more in the future and some of those times I go completely loud like Oar so everyone knows they can kill me if they stop me. But just like Boon said no body tries to kill the antag. Now before you say "Well you got antag weapons why even bother" One, that's a terrible excuse to let yourself die without a fight and two I don't use antag weapons when I am a traitor. Almost all the time I have rampaged people just watch me kill a person do nothing to stop me and then complain when I come for them next. I remember back in the day on Mushroom when a unarmed scientist took down a fully armed Traitor with a wet floor and a locker to shield himself from the bullets. You say there is no creativity in rampages well hardly anyone tries to fight back or use creativity to stop the traitor. They Just let it happen and that's just as bad if you ask me.
Rampages happen for these reasons alone
1. Because they can.
Anyone who has be granted the role of antagonist can do whatever they want with the role. This is OK. One of the best things about Goon and the reason I choose to come to this server above all others was that I had the freedom in how I played and that freedom of choice should never change.
2. No security around most of the time to stop it.
Did you know what Admins would tell people back in the day if they complain about rampages? They said this "If you want to stop rampages from happening then be the person that stops them" IF there is no security and the crew won't make a attempt to save themselves then these rampages will keep happening and they will get more frequent.
3. No one will fight back (mostly from my experience)
For all the rampages I've done I've noticed that almost no one will try and stop me as I kill everyone around them. I'll then ask them in OOC or in deadchat if I do infact die and this was a response I got. "The combat system is too awful to learn to get good enough to protect myself so why bother" This comment baffled me. People say I'm robust sure I've been playing for years but it took no effort to "get good" at the combat in this game. All you have to do is run around in a fight and learn how to click really fast till you hit your opponent.
Rampages are not the issue. The players are the issue. From the people who do nothing to stop the antag and from the people who antag fish just to do this. I rampage pretty much anytime I roll a antag, But I play though my rounds all the way to the end most of the time.
Good thing that Popecrunch said that dude was banned for antag fishing and not for rampaging cause I've would have been up in arms.
