So, now that we've got pen slots in our PDAs, I figured that maybe it'd be neat for some or all roles to start out with some sorta writing implement.
- Since Sci starts with something to write with anyway, they could definitely have their pens in their PDAs at roundstart.
- Because cigarettes fit in the slots, I think it'd be rather funny for the Det to start with one.
- Maybe give a few head roles fancy pens to start with?
While I dream of having everyone start off with pens so that we can reach parity with other SS13 servers, I also know that it's not something universally supported. So, do let me know of your thoughts on this.

Sounds good. Yes to all of this, honestly.

Do this so I can yell at people for not having their pens when I'm HoP.

I just like the idea of "We gave you a piece of hi-tech equipment for free and you... stuck a piece of candy in it?"

Honestly i see little downside with giving basically everyone some form of writting implement

The functionality for that isn't there, but I also thought of a few things along this line.
- Maybe make crayons edible if you're a clown?
- Candy cigarettes as clown kit?

I can now do paperwork as HoP without people stealing my pens.
Also it would be neat to hide a sleepy pen in there, save a pocket space, it’s just a little more work to get it out, but good to hide one.

I think admins said no to this. Herb did put the idea forward

I haven't ever put a pen in a pda so idk what it does to the UI, but assuming that its addition to the UI is pretty unintrusive to general PDA use, I don't really see an issue.

No, actually, sleepy pens work. The blacklist was removed. Poggers.
