I like to call him Email and have been a firm believer of it meaning Electronic Postal Service.
can EPS hire me?
I almost had a case where I wanted to demote the QM and promote you as a replacement QM. How would EPS react to this and does he have a module for it?
I imagine EPS would still use the âYou got mail!â line for everything.
You got mail! Bounty list.
You got mail! Crate.
Canât comprehend something as anything but mail.
Edit: You got mail! Baby.
Would giving you an explosive as a package for someone be an OOCly dickish move?
As long as it isnât at round start if say it be pretty funny. Though, seeing that ipcs have a hard time getting put back together after getting gibbed it basically is just a guaranteed RR for EPS. Iâd rather use a methnade to be nicer towards eps, since they donât gib. Iâm just giving my own opinion, Aramix is probably more chill about it if recon.
EPS, with a shotgun jammed within the gullet of a Xenomorph:
Youâve got mail.
It is LEAD! >:D
I allways thought EPS meant Expediant Postal Servitor.
although EPS often requires help from crewmembers with all sorts of things: credits, access, being posted through disposals in a festive wrapped crate; all those uses are very brief and not something EPS would âhireâ for - itâs meant to serve rather to be served
for tot EPS that might slightly change, and I might involve pAIs or holoparas (I think guidance from those might be helpful for a novice tot player like me)
though it might be a bit besides the character of EPS, I think it wouldnât be too bad to take on such a role in such extreme cases
after all, rounds are not necessarily canon, so I think taking some liberty to play EPS as other roles every now and then could be fun for everyone
@Ambiic already highlighted some ways one could make EPS work in other roles; personally Iâm imagining EPS is next closest to paramedic or shaft miner
as for cargo technician - despite playing âcargoâ for 200 hours (as EPS that is) - I donât have that much experience with cargo to know what needs to be ordered in different situations, such as antimatter, meteor shields, weapons (more or less), so that might be a problem; I only know to recycle crates and to stamp receipt papers then send them back - I find this is sufficient to support during crises that demand high cargo mobilization such as blob
if a HoP ever wants to place EPS in a different role than the one requested - might as well give it a try - itâs how EPS happened after all
I donât mind if EPS becomes a collateral in a bomb delivery, but Iâm afraid if delivering bombs is considered self-antag/grief and not checking mail contents (if wrapped for example) is a âroleplaying insanity to excuse behaviorâ
this had only been discussed and didnât happen before, but if an admin can answer this (unless itâs very case-per-case basis) before it actually happens, thatâd probably be ideal
returning to gibbing point - that way I believe it will have made EPS play a relevant part in the roundâs events and I wouldnât mind it - @Geatish is not wrong regarding the lack of options to put an IPC back together though - that would basically put EPS out of commission for the rest of the round
- It is literally your job to deliver mail.
- If we canât check the NT mail, why should we be able to check our mail?!
- you must roleplay - even as an assistant you would like to keep your job
- NT probably has screens for dangerous contents and doesnât deliver bombs
it can deliver a hostile clown to the clown instead, I think?..yeahâŚ
