Guest Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Walking over wet blood/oil/tomato juices should have a chance (30%) for someone to slip and fall, and suffer a 5 second stun. Grants incentive to keep the hallways clean. In addition, it should cake the person's clothing in blood. I mean if we wanna make people 'care' and 'subber', make them suffer in fun "oh no i just slipped in a puddle of blood and fell on my face" ways e: garbage spelling Edited February 7, 2016 by Guest
enkas Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Poorly named BestRP had this mechanic, when you'd slip on fresh blood. Although at times annoying, it did bring some hilarious moments.
canon35 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Yup, it had this mechanic. No one cleaned up sadly and medical became a slip and slide.
Lady_of_Ravens Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 30% may be a bit high... a 10% chance is sufficient to make it a hazard which should be respected, and to occasionally allow for blood-related comedy, without being more of a bother than it's worth. Oh, and it should apply to vomit, too. People who regularly walk through vomit deserve to slip and look like idiots.
incognitojesus Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 I would go so far as to lower it to five percent.
Lady_of_Ravens Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 What about 30% running, 0% walking? Â The point is to make slipping a real possibility, not to turn every combat or triage scene into a slapstick bit.
Zundy Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 What about 30% running, 0% walking? Â The point is to make slipping a real possibility, not to turn every combat or triage scene into a slapstick bit. Â Ok ok, 100% running, 101% walking (you have achance to slip walking if blood is anywhere on the map).
keinto Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Make it a 50% chance of slipping. More reason to punch and arrest imbeciles who pull bleeding people/corpses across the entire station with no care at all.
canon35 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Right, gonna post this here. I'm against it. I've had fucking terrible experiences with slipping and despite what you think, it would pressure people into cleaning up. It's not needed and would just provide a source of annoyance.
Xelnagahunter Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I'm for this at the lower values. Say 5% chance while running to slip, or maybe a bit less. It's be reason to have it cleaned without causing the mayhem that a higher chance presents. People in combat don't really bleed that much that fast and I feel the slipping mechanic if set that high would cause melee combat to become a joke. This is on top of the medical side of things where they learn to walk or clean up the blood as they go, since magic space cleaner exists.
Carver Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 At high values I'm imagining the very real chance that someone weaponizes blood puddles by pulling people over them in a fight. As hilarious as that sounds, it only further serves to enforce the "stun meta" that's seemingly being fought against. At low values you're just introducing even more annoying RNG into this game.
Guest Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Feedback's mostly negative. I'll concede and say it's a bad idea, especially the points about avoiding a stun-focused meta. Close this up, and toss it into the bin, pls?
