Admirals

Post by completelynewguy » 20 Jul 2017, 11:08

This thread is for the discussion, and possible critique, of when an Admiral joins a round. Please keep it civil and try to keep your anger in check.

I think it would be better - or at least, interesting for the sake of variety - if the Admirals would try something else outside of "be mean to marines and then executing the closest person who grumbled over the radio with their StatTrak™ Mateba or Machete" or "He wuz a synth saboteur all along!1".

I never had a problem with Admirals, but when they show up, I seriously wish they had much more to them. Maybe they're working for Weyland Yutani and they've gone planetside with a PMC unit/ group of custom spawned Marines geared with custom gear appropriate to that goal. Maybe they're trying to evaluate the conditions of the colonies and trying to greenlight annihilation of it, at the risk of breaching the USCM's reputation and relationship with Weyland Yutani. These situations have to do with Weyland Yutani, and its status as a corrupt corporation, making the round much more interesting as Marines are challenged in roleplay scenarios and must make blanketed decisions. I like them as they are, but Feweh has now overdone to the point where he's now made us a TV Tropes page and our first trope is "They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character"
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Theres nothing to discuss, Admirals have only been more frequent as we were testing them out for gear and redone sprites recently.
They'll go back to be uncommon and only put in for Events/IC reasons soon.
