Erect A Statue of Everett Dreyfus, Xenoslayer In Briefing

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

Per the subject.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

The uncanny likeliness of the Xenoslayer, saver of hum-ens shall forever serve as an indelible beacon of inspiration for all marinekind.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Add a statue of The Xenoslayer to briefing, complete with a plaque detailing his many impressive, legendary feats for those woefully ignorant of them.

It emits a faint light whose source cannot be determined as though bearing silent testament to his glory.

The statue is indestructible and immune to corrosive acid since Everett Dreyfus was both of those things.

Resin structures and weeds may not grow/be built within a one tile radius of it.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Spriting, mapping.

So what you are saying is....

Someone stole my throne?

Post by **apophis775** » 25 Jun 2016, 05:14

This guy, stole ALL the thrones. At once.

He not only stole your throne, he spray painted it, kicked you of it, and made you the court jester. You weren't there, he did some shit.

+1, but I feel that it would require Everett in question to stop being the character.

Can't have a statue of a guy who is still running around, y'know?

Unless we just want to ignore it ICly in favour of GLORY and flavour.

-1 on just giving a specific player a unique reference, let alone a statue, in game. It would seem a bit odd if a Standard Marine on the Sulaco is being celebrated for a act he's yet to do against a enemy he's yet to fight, and I just hate player reference items in general.

However, I like the idea of a commemorative/celebratory statue, however I feel if there is to be one it should NOT reference any particular player but instead be a reference to the 'unknown marine', a marine who's acts, whatever you want to imagine them to be, will not be forgotten. A unknown marine is better than a reference to a player that damn well may be playing in that round,

Here's a neat image of a SS13 example from the /tg/station forum.

bugger deserved it, but rather than glorifying him, make it a statue of a squad standard and add some hints indicating it was him in the examine text.

That'd be okay I suppose. Only if xenobane is included though.

+1 in favour of the statue to an anonymous squad standard who slew an unknown alien species with the blade Xenobane.

Pls stop encouraging people to take more machetes. Its non-standard gear.

Wait, who is this guy and why is he so important?

View hall of legends

Suggestions isn't the right place for this. Please keep to serious suggestions; everything else can go in general or acid goup.

Surrealistik · Post by **Surrealistik** » 25 Jun 2016, 13:33

This is a serious suggestion.

Post by **forwardslashN** » 25 Jun 2016, 13:44

Then denied.

Post by **apophis775** » 25 Jun 2016, 16:16

Undenied. It was very legendary and there has been discussion of this in the past so this can stay for now.

Post by **apophis775** » 25 Jun 2016, 16:17

Anyway. There was discussion about making statues for the hall of legend in tbe escape shuttle, or at centcom. Maybe on the pred ship?

LordLoko · Post by **LordLoko** » 25 Jun 2016, 16:19

Pred ship AND centcomm seems a nice idea

Sarah_U. · Post by **Sarah_U.** » 25 Jun 2016, 17:12

Place them alongside the main hallf of the pred ship.

I wouldn't mind having his weapon go in the predator trophy room, but having a statue on the sulaco is a no-go for me.

Seems fitting

This seems like a genuinely good idea. I can think of no greater gift for a predator to bestow upon a particularly legendary marine than XENOBANE.
