I am on the BRAINO's side as well.

Just as clarification, I am fairly certain that Janitor does not have Maintenance access.

Having interacted with Arhaziik on two wildly different perspectives, Skyglazer's ability stay persistent is something I appreciate. They reach out. They come off as a man who is incredibly proud of the Hegemony, and mostly the Hegemony. They've been making enjoyable, long conversation, which is something a Consular should probably be doing. +1.

The same way the standard voting defines enough people. People vote for a gamemode, the top one is chosen. The same thing happens if you don't ready up, or a readied up for a gamemode you don't want to play, because you arent going to be loaded in either way. If certain people have a gamemode toggled off, then it means they do not want to play it. Same as not having enough antagonists, and a gamemode not getting passed on Secret, which happens frequently, again, because people do not want to play the gamemode. I'll be entirely honest and clear in the idea that my intention, if this were added, is to avoid Borer rounds. I personally hate the premise of the gamemode, and I would much rather skip out on the rounds before I get stuck with a Borer in my head that I now have to listen to and go completely against what I would rather do. But I don't want to just dodge every single secret round because of its appearance in the rotations. This is the only gamemode that genuinely makes me not want to play Secret. Other gamemodes that are usually bad exist. Ling rounds tend not to be that good. Vampire rounds. But Borer is the only case that I feel like I would request a way to flat out avoid the rounds they exist on. I would much rather an antagonist cause chaos to my friends day, or even my day, than be stuck for an entire round being an antagonist that either i'm not going to enjoy, or they are not going to enjoy, depending on who gets their way.

I do think that it would work in the same manner- simply denying the gamemode if enough people fall under "I do not want this game at all and opt out", the same as it would people unreadying because they do not want to play a gamemode. I would be vaguely fine with this? Its not a terrible idea, IMO, and id rather take the L and lose out on the round (after all, if I am blocked from the round this way anyway, I did not plan on playing in the first place) than have to deal with the rounds either way.

If secret is chosen, and there are 28 people, and less than 25 actually even want to play Crossfire (not are ok with or without it, but genuinely hate the gamemode and the chaos it brings), then now is the same problem of people voting Crossfire and not readying up. Less than 25 people want to play the selected gamemode, regardless of what it is. How is it fair to them to have to either endure something that they genuinely dislike or just go to cryo with half an hour wasted (assuming this is how long it takes Mercs and Raiders to board and announce they are there)?

You can metagame a gamemode anyway. If someone avoids a gamemode, and then latejoins, and clearly knows whats happening already, that sounds like a ahelpable issue. I don't think that peace of mind for certain people should be withheld due to certain others abusing it, especially when metagaming is already against the rules.

Certain gamemodes, I do not want to play. I would rather spend two hours doing what I want than to play a round where not only I do nothing, but the antag has a negative experience because of me. For some rounds, it is simply not feasible to go to cryo when you realize its a certain antag type. Therefore, just as you can check certain antag types, make it so that we can check roundtypes we don't spawn in for. I, for one, do not want to be forced to undertake Antagonist actions as a non-antagonist. If a borer gets into my character, then they have to deal with them, and they don't want to do much of anything. I don't much want to be forced to do something. I dont want to stonewall an Antagonist or be forced for someone elses round to be good at my expense. I would rather everyone else can enjoy their round or not, but I be left out of it entirely.

Hammer-55 is routinely possibly my favorite member of Security. I have upmost faith in your ability to live by a command app.

What is with the mask? Would this be treated like a hoodie?

Fuckin' nice. I especially like the coat being open overtop a suit. A valid alternative to the holy cape.

Once more, Aut'akh can still take drugs. This is not an argument.

Their entire outside is robotic. If FBP's were added in the same way Aut'akh currently HAVE them, which is a bundle of organs kept safe inside a crunchy robotic outside, and this is what people have been suggesting in this thread, then I don't see the problem. However, now there is an argument that they should be their own thing, separate from Aut'akh. Which now raises a question. Eridani currently has (or had, but I do not THINK it changed with the rework) the most qualification for FBP. And this is where Aut'akh got it from, Eridani. So, if Eridani were the lore backing up FBP, why would "human" and "unathi" be so different? If they are rather different, then that rips the hole of Eridani and Aut'akh even further, considering Eridani spent EXTRA money on designs, fabricators, and even testing to see if this would work, in a business venture that was a horrible idea in the first place. Coming from the Eridani Corporate Federation, a place that THRIVES on smart business. I think the "Grievous" style as its been called in the thread already would be fine. If it were such a big deal that they cannot eat, which, it isnt, if anything this can be considered a feature of prostheticization, then have life support systems that require nutrients to sustain the body still. Biofuel. Which is, to my understanding, and I may be wrong, what Aut'akh use already.

Some people would rather make that trade off. I don't see how "it denies you the right to eat, to drink, to take drugs" is, bad. It isn't, in everyone's eyes. Particularly someone extreme enough to want a full body replacement. However, Aut'akh still eat and drink. Aut'akh can still take drugs, too. So, this argument seems unrelated either way, if FBP are done the same way Aut'akh are using them.

Full Body Prosthetics could be something any transhumanist sees as superior, for any number of reasons. "You can no longer eat, smell, drink or even take drugs" is not a downside to everyone. For some, that probably sounds amazing. If someone plays a FBP like they're invincible, unkillable, and ignores pain for the fact that they don't have to care about it, that is an ahelpable issue. If someone chops off their prosthetic hand every single round and brags about it and acts like its cool and funny, you ahelp. If a security officer in a FBP charges towards combat recklessly, you ahelp. A FBP is not a way of circumventing death, although it could be. People IC get limbs removed and replaced with prosthetics simply because they think its better.

Unathi currently have full body prosthetics in the form of Aut'akh. Humans have lore for this in Eridani already, but did not get it due to developers not doing it.

Itd make sense to me to apply it to Skrell. Maybe apply it to Unathi, but people get them wrong a lot already, which I think is more about just their sprite.

+1. I feel Skyglazer could bring something to Command, even as only a Consular for now. I think that, even if they've only been playing for a couple months, they know the consequences of making dumb mistakes with their whitelist, and a trial would be fair. I have seen almost no Consulars coming from the Hegemony, and now is as good as any time for one.

I prefer the old ones, as well.

I personally hate the suits for their muddled, desaturated colors. But, if it is an option, alongside others, then I don't see much harm in it.

Whatever gets in or doesnt get in, people seem to have differing opinions on, but across the board, at least adding some would be nice.

IMO, simply grinding up peanuts should make crunchy peanut butter, which can be ground again for smooth. I see no flaw here, as someone who ate PB+J probably every single day from 2004-2010.

A raider round a few weeks ago, although if this were fixed, that only solves one part of it. Relocating legs while down should still take a while, but be possible.

Hard agree. Dislocating shouldn't be an excuse to leave someone on the floor because you know they'll be unable to get up no matter what you do, and also unable to crawl since crawling is tied to being able to walk or not, which is ALSO annoying.
