AHeal Use - Limited Scope

Post by Symbiosis » 18 May 2017, 07:25

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Limit the use of AHeal for Marines/MP's on the Almayer when someone breaks Marine Law/Gets shot up to "Dead" Marines only. (non Defibbable)

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Allows Medical to do their job/RP with wounded, also give weight to an MP claiming they were shot when they're bleeding from a bullet wound.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Only use AHeal on a Marine/MP (Griefed player) player who is dead and Medical couldn't get to in time. I know that as a player, we had a round recently that no one sided with an MP because the scanner didn't show any bullet wounds. Eventually spiraled out of control into a clown fiesta.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Only use AHeal as a last resort? Treading lightly here as I'm making a suggestion for the mod team, hoping my text here isn't coming off in an accusatory way or insulting-ish!

I get what you're saying, but I have certain problems with it from a different perspective. I'm all in favor of letting MP deal with a griefer to an extent, but at the same time, the player still needs to be banned so it doesn't happen again. In terms of medical, it's a tad unfair for a player to be locked out of the game while he's being treated for something that shouldn't be allowed. Additionally it's incentive to griefers if their actions aren't going to be immediately erased by the staff team.
I'm stressing way too hard about what to put here, so I'm just gonna leave it blank.... or....

I think Aheal is a MUST when it is at the round start or when it is in the midst of chaos (when doctors have their hands cut out from them)

Other than that, if the docs are near and free, we should let them do their job. With the players request.

Ima -1. I get it, but no. Imagine being grieved and getting three broken bones, internal bleeding and severe brute but your alive. If you aren't ahealed then your gonna be outa the round for 30-40 minutes to fix it all. Now that isn't fun, right?

Valid point from you and Biolock! Wouldn't want some out for 30-40 minutes from a griefer.

I don't really feel this is necessary, moderators should be able to assess whether an ahelp is necessary or not, usually depending on the seriousness of the injury and whether or not there's medical staff available. If you really want things to be RP'd out just ahelp that you're fine dealing with medical and don't need assistance for RP reasons. I've never seen this be brought up as an issue before.

-1, don't restrict staff utility for the sake of RP if said RP cannot be accounted as 'Valid' for the sake of the server's environment and flow.

Voiding: The action of negating knowledge regarding a specific event.
^ Do some of that if necessary, or alter said story to say he shot you and had a seizure, but missed.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.
