Remove Crayons from Chaplain's locker, and more heavily regulate their behavior [ 1 Dismissal vote]

[LordBalkara]

I'm sure we've all seen it. A chaplain will walk around in a black robe, hood on, and screaming about how everyone should be worshiping a crowbar, or a mop, or something equally ridiculous. Or drawing weird stuff on the floor in crayon.

Now, maybe its just me, but I've never seen nor heard of a chaplain that ever did something like this in real life.

And while I realize that not everything has to be super realistic in 2D spessmens, a man in a weird robe walking into a room, drawing some random things on the floor in crayon, and then asking me if I believe in our lord and savior Ian doesn't scream "This is a man hired by a powerful corporation after being screened for mental and physical issues, to provide spiritual services, guidance, and even therapy, plus the occasional cremation, on a high-tech expensive research and mining station."

Therefore, I suggest two things: Ridiculous things by chaplains be considered Hooliganism/Neglect of Duty, or even cause to be sent to the psych, and that drawing runes, letters, etc, no longer be considered acceptable, with the crayons removed from their locker. If it's really necessary, then make it so Chaplains have to provide a valid reason for them to be marking the ground.

Pros:

- Higher quality Chaplains

- Less LRP style behavior

Cons:

- Some may feel it restricts their ability to make a character the way they want

- May result in less Chaplains

They'll just grab the crayons from tool storage anyway. Regulate them ICly with security.

The idea is that drawing dicks or random stuff all over the floor in crayon be considered equivalent to running around preaching the worship of clowns, unless there is a valid religious reason behind it beyond "it looks cool lol". Thus allowing HoP/IAA/Security/Captain to crack down on goofy and unrealistic chaplains, at their discretion.

It is vandalism when considered under regulations, however.

[Guest Marlon Phoenix]

Just arrest them.

[ToasterStrudel]

Or Ahelp them, if they're worshiping a mop or something. Realistically Nanotrasen isn't going to hire the chaplin of a mopcult, so it would fall under the realistic character rule.

Crazy chaplains are against the rules.

Chaplains that vandalize the station but aren't crazy can be dealt with in-character.

It's a duct tape fix that doesn't actually fix the cited issue.

I've seen Chaplains do neat things with the crayons.

There are already in character and outside of character's ways to handle this issue.
