Scheveningen Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 As title says. Ghosts who are bored and have low investment in the round should be able to roleplay as the station domestic pets.
Skull132 Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 I was gonna make a long post about this, but you already covered this yourself. 34 minutes ago, Scheveningen said: [...] have low investment in the round [...] Why would someone with a low investment contribute something meaningful to the round? Or more specifically, what stops them from running amok, as they already do sometimes with mice/rats.

Basically my initial thought. People already meme a lot with rats and PAIs. I don't want to see pets in the mix.
Arrow768 Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Yup I have to concur, mice are often played very badly and I don't see why this would be different with pets. Unless we whitelist them.

Howdo you you plan to deal with your existing rivalry with Bones? Historically speaking, Ians and and Columbos have also had difficulties getting along. How do you intend to handle these issues when someone sets down any food object in existence within view range of you?
Resilynn Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 I’ve seen Ian die on extended several times and yet here he is. This is not conducive to a high rp environment. If you’re unwilling to off a character you’ve spent years developing and building relationships to the ic world and ooc community with because you lagged into a carp, are you even committed to role play.

A lot of this has very little understanding of the dogunese language, it is otherwise a very sub-par application and does not demonstrate much of the doggo species and I hope you reconsider to do better for next time.

Ian is cloned on a regular basis, and learns from all of his deaths. I think it's insulting that you would think I didn't take that into account for my character. Also you are stinky. /s On topic, though, yeah, this will just get abused.
Carver Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) I've gone on a server with this mechanic and used it exclusively to fuck with people as Poly. I would expect random people off the hub would do the same if it were implemented here. Edited October 25, 2019 by Carver I'd also expect a very particular subset of the community to be very, very creepy with such a mechanic. Let's discourage that.

Arrow768 Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Given that both Skull and I disagreed with this suggestion and the way that escalated I´m gonna move that to the bin. As outlined above, Mice are already played in a way that is often problematic and this would just extend to station pets (who are even more visible than mice)
