Guest Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) See title. Poly, once upon a time, was the Chief Engineer's lovable pet parrot and engineering mascot. And part-time domestic terrorist. During his reign of absolute terror, Poly was able to snatch emags out of the hands of traitors and claw the shit out of antagonists while screeching "BRAVO 304 FUCK NT" triumphantly. Yes, Poly used to actually kill people. While I do think the Chief Engineer deserves their valiant pet back, it's within my belief that the mechanics of old Poly would prove too overwhelming for antagonists here and a psychopathic bird would not have any place on a roleplaying server. My suggestion, in addition to adding that bird back to our 2d spaceman lives, is to tone down Poly's validhunting and powergaming tendencies to acceptable levels to stop him from outrobusting all of the antags, and play it off as though he became tamer. Thoughts? Edited June 23, 2015 by Guest Link to comment

Baka Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 You don't have to worry about him repeating romantic dialogue because he'll always repeat it as: Poly whispers something. Link to comment
NebulaFlare Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!! PLEASE give the Chief Engineer at pet. It's so not fair that every other head of staff has a pet and the CE doesn't. I would love Poly. Adore even. And I've never even seen the bird. Pretty please with sugar on top? Link to comment
mrimatool Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Poly needs to return in it's entirety. Go hard or go home. On that note Ian should get Armor again! Link to comment
jackfractal Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Ian not having clothes is a deep sadness to me. Link to comment
Dea Tacita Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Polly screeches "Wyatt, take those fucking magboots off" Link to comment
Conservatron Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 my favorite thing about Poly is its nesting making it obnoxiously hard to ever find anything you need in the chief's office. i wish you could designate the nest or like, have an object it uses as its nest. Link to comment
jackfractal Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I suspect that Polly was created by someone who found the existing pets irritating, with the goal of creating a pet so irritating that she'd get them all removed. It is for this reason that I love her. Link to comment
mrimatool Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Polly is the Queen of Ss13 pets, she will never be forgotten. Link to comment
Carver Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 This little shitbird never fails to brighten my day, I'm sure the return of Poly would brighten the day of every CE. Link to comment
Hackie Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Actually, I have an idea. What if we gave the Chief Engineer a bat? Perhaps it would represent how the Chief Engineer skulks around in maintenance and run down areas. Or, it would represent how the Chief Engineer how many diseases he/she/it have. Link to comment
