[MERGED PR] A trait which makes clowns invisible to you
#1
Thumbs Up 
PULL REQUEST DETAILS

About the PR
This zero-cost trait makes it so anyone wearing a clown suit is invisible to you. Clowns now get notified in examine text if someone doesn't notice them.

This PR also adds signals for Login and Logout on mobs. Now also a signal for examining atoms.

Why's this needed?
I think it's a funny addition and I enjoy the lore of people just disbelieving that there could be clowns in space so hard that they don't actually perceive them.

Very bizarre idea - kind of difficult to evaluate because of how outlandish it is. I think if it does end up being implemented, it should be +1 point, since it's a downside of sorts and the +1 would incentivize people to use it in order to get another bonus but be vulnerable to stealthy pranks from the clowns they are determined to disregard.
#3
I do not believe it should be a +1 as it would just become "the powergamer trait." I would rather it stay something incredibly goofy in order that you would take solely for the joke instead of for a benefit.
#4
Yes. Good. Why would I wabt to see clowns anyway?
#5
This is stupid. The good kind of stupid; please add it thank you.
#6
Keep it as a +1 I want to mess with power gamers using this
#7
Possible compromise is to add some minor upside instead of +1 to this. Some slip resistance? Or slip immunity for banana peels? Something else?

EDIT: Forgot to mention, now it also applies to cluwnes.

Glorious

I actually have a question: What if someone with this trait is wearing a clown suit?

I would suggest space lube immunity but that might be going a bit too far
#13
Immunity to clowning around and maybe cluwning around is my suggestion for a minor plus.
#14
Suggestion for your suggestion. Make two traits. One makes you immune to all clowning and the clown is invisible BUT the mime is much more powerful and can block you with invisible walls and use invisible ropes to pull you around. The other trait does the reverse where the mime does nothing to you and is invisible but the clown is much more stronger to you and you can hear its honks and squeeky shoes from all over the station. Also getting a pie to the face can send you comatose for a bit.
#15
i kind of pictured this more in my head as this making people in clown suits appear invisible. so all you'd see is a floating clown suit and shoes
