Thoughts on TC trading?

What do you think about TC trading?

Is it a detriment to the round and brings too much chaos, or a refreshening breeze of something new and more gimmicky than a sword and pistol.

What are tha Admin’s standpoints on this topic? Since you make the prices in this nonexistent shop with too many option to choose from.

If you know what you want, and what you want isn’t game breaking, I’ll probably let you buy it.

TC trades can be creative, sometimes even funny.

I’d have to agree with the above though.

I’ve yet to run into an admin who had a problem with me trading my tc (all of it) or antag status for blood crawl (which I do often when I’m given the opportunity) although some do ask for more like body parts and one turned it into a gimmick one time which was cool. (bloons3)

It’s our job to decide which of these scenarios will be the outcome and decide whether to accept the individual trade or not. We do unfortunately have to consider it from the perspective of “worst case scenario” so even if you plan to do one thing, someone else may have ruined your chance in the past unless you have a strong record of being trustworthy.

ok give me /obj/item/zombie_hand/equipped :sunglasses:

Were you the cargo tech who offered to pay for it with an organ, and I took your lungs but spawned you a set of cybernetic lungs that you tried to get medical to implant?

No I’m the one you made a tiny blood crawling axe murderer.

I think I called a small ERT to make sure that you would have fun conflict against them but not turn the crew into hamburgers.

Yea you did and with the help of a chemist and the gps mask you gave me they ended up swarming and killing me in the maints after awhile.

it’s great in my opinion

I never looked at it that way, neither have I considered what I wanted to buy by the worst-case scenario.

I like the idea but can’t ever come up with anything to ask for and never do it

Happens.

If something, you can trade everything for an energy axe.

I know it’s entirely up to the admin in question which makes it tricky. Like…
Default tator gets a bit boring. I’d like to shift it up and try something strange but… you can’t buy wiz, or blob.
Understandable because those can insta-bork a round.
(lets leave the fact that I once did buy blob on another server because my UI got fucked and I literally could do nothing in tator shop)
But there’s lesser antag stuff I think we could have fun with.
Turn me into a beno larvae, or gimme an egg.
Or turn me into a swarmer.
Does rat king exist in Bee?
As is I think I’m just going to keep buying the surplus crate and hoping what comes out is new and fun to me.

Ask admemes to let them have all your TC and give you blood crawl and energy chainsaw

Murder maniac.

Murderbone? Boring.
Take all my TC and do with me what you will. just make it novel and fun.

Pop out, saw leg off, vanish into the newly created pool of blood, repeat on next victim.

Blood crawl is great for Floor Cluwne levels of terror, but you don’t necessarily have to kill everyone you attack. Just because you have an energy chainsaw and bloodcrawl doesn’t mean you have to murderbone. I imagine you could make a pretty good horror scene without directly killing like that.

TC trading can be a good way to make things more interesting but what ruko said is very accurate.

Also xeno is not a lesser antag.

vibe check bruh

If you force them into Hunter or Sentinel there’s only so much they can do.
Still a huge threat, but not a self-replicating one.
