Mappel6 Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 HoP has Ian. Captain has Chauncey. CMO has Bones. HoS has Lt. Columbo. Hell, the Bartender gets Pun Pun. RD/Science gets some sort of weird facehugger that sits in a cage and does nothing. Science needs a real pet, a sort of morale source similar to Ian or Bones, or Lt. Columbo (but less eat-your-face-off-y). I've been informed recently of a round where, from a Xenobiology slime experiment, a pug was created. Science called this pug, "Neumann." My request is to make Neumann the Science Pug, complete with slime backstory, fully canon and spawn in on the ship every round. It could spawn in with the examine text, "A pug, so ugly it's adorable. Some say he came from the slimes..." or some sort of otherwise edited examine text. Pugs are also in the game but can't be seen without admin or Science intervention, so I think it's full well time that the pugs saw the light of day. Every department, as listed above, has a mobile pet aside from Science and Engineering (and technically Cargo now that it's its own thing). Despite Lamarr being completely harmless, I've never seen an RD let him out of his cage, or maybe even know how. Neumann would provide a simple pet with an enjoyable backstory, one that just about everybody in Science would love to have around and might even feed. And with pugs already being in the game, it would more than likely be a very simple addition. I'll let this idea sink in and pass it around some of the people who play in or around Science often to give their feedback. I think some people may honestly underestimate how many people want a pug on the station.
Pacmandevil Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 +1 Any dogs on the station should either be a pug or corgi, the rest are inferior.
Scheveningen Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 It should be a slimy pug. A domesticated slime pug. If you pet it your hands get goo-stained hands.
UnknownMurder Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 +1 It needs to be able to do tricks on orders.
Kaed Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Do we really need another useless pet to stand around? I mean, aside from the HoS's cute gshep and maybe the CMO's cat, all of them are completely passive and don't even serve any purpose, aside from Ian, who is usually Slithiss's emergency snack if he can't be bothered to leave his office. But if you must... pugs are ugly, deformed and stunted monstrosities, so while I can see why you would want one in science to show what it's done, perhaps something more thematically appropriate, like a rainbow slime, which I've seen on other servers.

Fire and Glory Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Kaed confirmed to have a hate-boner for pugs Tbh I'd rather there not be a RD slime, we do not need precedents for slime pets. A pug sounds cute.
Kaed Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Kaed confirmed to have a hate-boner for pugs It's true. I hate pugs. If we added one, I would probably try to make sure it was dead in any round possible. Including non-antagonist ones. Just start playing RD for the purpose of throwing the awful thing into space as part of my job. Slimes would definitely be less awful. I don't know what you're on about with 'no precedents for slime pets'. It's part of the dang game already, unlike pugs.
Fire and Glory Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Pugs actually are in the game, they can spawn in cargo. Anyways, if the RD gets a domesticated slime, people are more likely to say that domesticated slimes are fine and you should piss off for not letting them drag it around, it's not really something I feel like seeing.
Kaed Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 A lot of things appear in cargo. Many of them are really dumb and shouldn't be in there, like space bats and medibots that inject you with infinite amounts of poison. Not super seeing what the big deal is with domesticated slimes. Sounds like you have a hate boner for them.

Kaed Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 man, you are being really aggressive. It's a Dog, like Ian, it's just there for you to look at it and go 'Hey that's cute.' I'm able to express my opinions like anyone else, aggressive as they may be. I'm not even really being directly rude or insulting to anyone. So let me just summarize my feelings instead of making this a back and forth. -We have two dog pets already on the station, Ian already covers the 'small, cute dog' category, while St. Colombo covers the 'big dog' slot. -Adding a third would start to oversaturate the station with dog pets. -There is already a science 'pet', but if you want to replace it, please replace it with something a little more thematically distinct, even if it's not a slime. -I really don't like pugs

Fire and Glory Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Slimes are fine, some of my best friends are slimes. Any excuse that can be made for "the slime is fine it's friendly!" can fuck off though. Really don't want the RD to have his "totally safe" friendly slime 24/7 giving xenobio's another excuse to say they're fine to be paraded around. Anything but a slime tbh. I like the pug and don't really feel like there's a need to keep the demographic of pets diverse if people want another dog.
Scheveningen Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Yeah but "domesticated slime pug" is a cute idea. Being able to domesticate slimes while also neutering is a very home-owner kind of thing.
Fire and Glory Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Yeah but "domesticated slime pug" is a cute idea. Being able to domesticate slimes while also neutering is a very home-owner kind of thing. Are you talking about a slime in the shape of a pug?
Lady_of_Ravens Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Not every department needs a pet. But if any department deserves to be so afflicted, it's the cargo bay, and they need a "cargo goat". The facehugger in the box is fine for research. It's cool and sciency and nobody wants to chucklefuck with it.
UnknownMurder Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 nobody wants to chucklefuck with it. That's because it doesn't do anything other than harmlessly latch on your face.
DrHobo Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 I'd whitelist for RD if there was Neumann the slimepug. +1
Skull132 Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Voting for dismissal. Lamarr++. [No but seriously Science not only has a pet, which relates to their job no less, but not every place needs a pet.]
Alberyk Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 RD already has lamarr, and we already have enough dogs in the station. Voting for dismissal.
