Bubba1 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 What do you want to see? - A cooldown or set time for lockdowns. Why should we add it? - Lockdowns are sometimes abused and are in effect for way too long. Dclass complain about it alot, and they call rdm for it a lot What are the advantages of having this? - dclass dont complain as much, and it gives new players time to adjust and not just think this is what the server is Who is it mainly for? - dclass and security Links to any content - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Gamer Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 -support If we had that there would be no security AT ALL because D Class will just wait down the lockdown and then coordinate a riot and then we can do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookieblue Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 - Support Lockdowns are one of the few effective tools GENSEC has for stopping riots. Full lockdowns are held for a maximum of 5 minutes at a time, unless authorized longer by a Site Admin.

And gensec can't sit any d-class til the pull a weapon out. Or cuz the line. Amish improve to defend. Also as d-class have no nlr. Then also, it would become a Devin 1 because d-class would beach scp's.

Dcethe Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Imagine this - new player gets on but lockdown is active ok. they wait 5 minutes and its over - finally i can see what this server is about. 2 minutes passed and another magnetic lockdown is called. Most would leave at this point instead of staying. Funny thing is - Magnetic lockdown was called 4 times in 30 minutes 2 days ago - leaving D-Class sitting in their cells for 20 minutes doing nothing. This can ward off a lot of New Players who only have access to D-Class. +Support Sometimes GenSec needs it, but other times its abused way too much.

Emperor Palpy Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Eh, the issue with my response as it may agitate both sides. I will -1 for the time being. 4 hours ago, Dcethe said: Funny thing is - Magnetic lockdown was called 4 times in 30 minutes 2 days ago - leaving D-Class sitting in their cells for 20 minutes doing nothing.

You could argue this, but I could equally argue that GENSEC had no choice because the riots were extreme yesterday, some of the worse we have seen and they were never-ending. What choice does GENSEC have when they are rushed constantly while Class-D have no NLR and are lead by a sledgehammer-wielding Russian, which by the way does 150 damage per hit and usually negates what armor you have. Lockdowns are what help GENSEC when they have no other options, you really cannot blame them with their weapons nerfed and Class-D given countless buffs in the forms of custom classes.

Like, seriously? Not to be harsh or rude in my criticisms, but in the words of Thomas Sowell, "It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong." Class-D will not suffer from this change despite them being the biggest cause. After all, it is the actions of Class-D with the constant riots, the ability to kill a GENSEC with two to three hits with a knife that result in these lockdowns. As I said, not to be harsh or rude, but why leave this decision in the hands of the aggressors who will only benefit and leave the rest of the roleplay community such as MTF, GENSEC, and especially Research to be hung up to die as rotting corpses as no one will play as them? I think my biggest criticism comes from this, the gamemode is called SCP-RP, otherwise, Secure. Contain. Protect. Roleplay, not bloody Breach Containments and Get Free EXP RP. Forcing cooldowns upon an already hurting branch of the Foundation because you "think" it will help them (spoiler alert, it will not, because you stripped them of their greatest power), you are doing a disservice to everyone who desires to RP seriously on the server. Do not get me wrong, some people in Class-D are serious, the rest, taken from another quote, this time from Sir Alec Guinness, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." Class-D are too minge-filled, too chaotic, too dangerous to be given this flaunt of disregard for roleplay. So once again, I do not support this. I give a -1 until either two things occur. 1) Class-D no longer riot as they do, leaving Research and GENSEC to die because of their imprudent behavior and lack of care for the purpose of the gamemode and thus, the server, or 2) Bring proof it is abused and then staff can handle it accordingly, because right now, this seems moreover an attempt to gain free EXP and complain about insecurities rather than you joining a different job on the server.

Jakub Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 -1 lockdowns are needed for researchers to actually rp since class d riot 24/7 and it's not like we have a rogue faction raiding the facility on a daily right? 1 Ex E11 COL, Ex A1 MAJ, Ex AHOTS, Ex Security 2LT, Ex Admin.

Igneous Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Denied. The SCP-RP SMT has decided against adding this suggestion for performance reasons, the benefit to the server, or another unstated reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
