[+1 dismissal]Taping cameras

[ajstorey456]

No, I don't mean film, I don't know how that would work.

But! I mean literal tape. Just put a little bit of tape over the camera and boom! Disabled. It's an easy fix, just click the camera, but it's also an easier way to keep the AI from looking without causing a literal alarm. Similar idea, be able to put coats over them, as someone said in OOC when I mentioned this.

[Conspiir]

I could see this. It can make sense. A less violent way of stopping the AI from seeing what you're doing, but still could be considered vandalism if you do it without a reason. +1

[LordBalkara]

+1 makes sense as a more easily fixable and less noticeable version of smashing the camera, and the AI can still notice it if he realizes he can't see in that spot

[Fortport]

What a good idea, for every reason denoted above. I support this.

Duct tape is now a traitor item, 1 TC.

[Brutishcrab51]

I like this idea a lot. It keeps everyone from busting the cameras when the AI gets reported, or helps traitors avoid detection when they want to do some stuff that could get them valid'd by that Warden who will always, always look at just the right camera.

+1.

+1

This is actually reasonable than just noticing that the AI/Security is watching you by camera blinker's toggling red.

I'm not even sure if this is a meme or not but I'd take it.

[Arrow768]

Well, I am not too sure about that.

Adding that would be a enormous buff to anyone that doesnt want to be watched.

• It doesnt trigger any alarms.
  
• Its readily available.
  
• It can be applied in mass very easily.
  

 

There would need to be usage limit added to the tape, similar to other resources.

[ajstorey456]

I had assumed there already was one, like 5 tapes per role

To balance this out (no alarms), the sprite of the camera taped should be glaringly obvious to anybody looking imo.

Why not just make it stop moving like when you break a cam, and have a grey bit over the end of it? Would that work?

Make it look like they taped the living hell out of it, instead of just the optical part. Also, have it to where you can take the tape off and do forensics to find out who wrapped it around the camera.

Yes, that. Many minor things are being said in suggestion that I thought were givens.

[Alberyk]

Against this because there are already ways to disable cameras, and this seems to lack any drawback of the other two, so why would you smash or hack a camera if you can just tape it?

Voting for dismissal.

Could always have it give an alert to the AI that it cant see out of the camera

So the effect would be blocked vision + alarm ?

Then it would be equal or even inferior to the current system, because if you hack a camera properly, you wont even trigger an alarm.

[Kaed]

Also, cameras right now are either broken or functioning, and malf AI can make them magically start working against with an ability. How exactly do they also remove tape from the front by resetting the camera?

It just doesn't fit well with the current setup.

[LordFowl]

Voting for dismissal. We can already smash or cut cameras. Taping it would add little especially when it has such fewer drawbacks. Binning.
