bring back rev

[atomic1fire]

The best Rev round I've seen was on Destiny, where heads were told to be tyrannical leaders and make life miserable for our crew. Mid round, after some beatings were handed out, rev leaders were designated and the revolution slowly built from there.

Round ended with myself, as CE, welding the doors of the escape shuttle closed and fighting off attackers who managed to break through the window. It was quite engaging for the entire crew and gave an actual reason for the mutiny.

I could see having the idea behind rev rounds shift focus, where the heads are the "antags" who have authority and the support of the security team on their side. Their objective: ruining people's lives within the boundaries of the law until rev leaders are appointed at a later time.

I agree with this. Give heads and Sec a good opportunity to be nasty and let it run from there

I kinda like the idea of creating a revolt via RP.

I think the idea of having the game pick the rev leaders much later then the actual bad heads, people would have a reason to focus their attacks on security and only fight people who get in their way, rather then just killing everybody.

Plus it would prevent the problem of people thinking every time a head acts out it's a rev round. Make them wait for any proof of it being rev rather then just using the chaos to grief.


edit: I just thought of a kind of (admittedly stupid) different idea, one that could introduce more confusion to rev rounds but might be fun on special occasions.

So in the party game mafia, sometimes there's a neutral role such as a crazy person or wearwolf or whatever who's sole purpose is to live at the end of the round and he or she can kill anybody to do that.

So what if, the Crew had loyalists that couldn't be turned, but the revs and loyalists also had a rare third enemy, the anarchist. Anarchists job is to kill the rev heads, and kill the heads, with the sole purpose of taking on both parties in order to win the round. Anarchist has no other allies. It would connect to the whole Mafia spirit of the game if there's one dedicated Fool role whose sole purpose is to screw everyone else up and pull that off without getting caught.

Basically this guy but in SS13 form http://epicmafia.wikia.com/wiki/Killer

I mean it wouldn't do much to solve the problem of rev being a murder fest, but it would be entertaining knowing that at one player can take advantage of the fray to come out on top, and end up beating both the revs and the crew.
