Minor Ethereal Re-Work Suggestion - Denied

[Cecil Stedmen]

What are you suggesting? -  Prohibit the use of ethereals/micro's as a substitute for bringing an SCP back to it's cell. Examples of what should be prohibited down below.

- SCP 682 or 939 is tranqed and cuffed, to save time; the MTF just use the micro/ethereal on them instead of bringing them back to their cell.

-An SCP that can be fearRPed such as SCP 049 or SCP 8286 is placed under fearRP and cuffed; but instead of bringing them back to the CC; they use an ethereal on them.

-SCP 106 is in the middle of a femur breaker and either made a sit or is heading back to it's CC, ethereal use on SCP 106 while either is occurring should be prohibited. If he wins the roll off on first femur breaker however, ethereal usage may resume.

NOTE I AM NOT SUGGESTING THE BAN OR NERF OF THE ETHEREAL IF THE SCP IS NOT ACTIVELY BEING RECONTAINED SUCH AS ABOVE, IT'D MAKE RP SENSE TO USE IT. 

How would this change better the server? -  Bring back a bit of RP and ensures people cannot get lazy about re-containment while also increasing the amount of realism by a little, I know we are a semi-serious RP server but it's important for there to be some level of immersion regardless so everyone can have a good time.

Are there any disadvantages of making this change to the server? If so, explain. - A small portion of individuals may or may not complain since they'll have to bring the SCP back to containment instead of just using the ethereal to make it less work to recontain.

Who would this change mostly benefit? - People playing on SCPs but even then it's not buffing them, it's just forcing a small portion of people to actually bring SCPs back to their CCs.

Please link any workshop content, screenshots, or anything that you think may be helpful to those who view this suggestion - N/A

 

EDIT: Reworded force an NLR Timer to making it less work to recontain to better explain what I meant to say. Also made another edit to state I am not suggesting the ethereal is OP or needs a nerf, it is built to be an SCP killer and I respect that. I just want the server to feel more immersive.

I'm really not seeing the point here. Most SCPs hate being dragged back to their cell and I've had a lot of them offer to jump into acid (while in cuffs) to just save time. All this would do would cause MTF to spend more time doing an unneeded task. Not to mention that getting an ethereal is rather difficult currently and they're really not that strong. Also, arguing that MTF use the ethereal to "force an NLR timer" on them isn't really an argument since they have to wait 15 minutes once recontained anyway.

I get the idea, for a more "RP accurate" scenario

but most SCPs offer to kill themselves anyways then having to waste like 10 minutes being dragged back to their cell

I feel actual rp in general is viewed as "Time wasteful". GenSec purposely avoid research alot. Nobody want to bring SCPs back to their cells unless it's 682 so they can brag and try to suck up for promotions. Nobody wants to actually engage safe scps. 

 

The whole server is basically combat and combat only at this point and it's getting fucking ridiculous.

A minor change with hopefully a more immersable outcome

This is not where we need more RP and in many cases is mutually worse. Many SCP’s that are cuffed and heading back to their cell just log off because 1. They’re upset about being rc’d or 2. Breaching as the last thing they wanted to do for the day and now they’re going to go do something else seeing as their breach is done.

- 682/939 Why is it such a problem? You are basically giving them a reset so that they don't have to flag off and on the job again?

- Cool but when you are alone with 049 and you don't have enough people to FearRP him, this would make it pretty much impossible to RC him.

- Better safe than sorry, it's easier to have him blasted on the spot than wait for him to potentially win a roll off.

Denied. The SCP-RP SMT has decided against adding this suggestion for performance reasons, the benefit to the server, or another unstated reason.
