It's been a good run old friend...

[Crab_Spider]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Implement a verb exclusive to the M4A3 Service pistol and M44 Combat Revolver that allows someone to "execute" or 1-hit kill other players.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Marines get extra RP, players have a way to end the life of another player (with consent), trying to end the life of someone else peacefully can truly to be done without making the situation look like a griefing incident. Less combat logs

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): As the summary states, implement a verb that grants Marine the ability to kill another Marine, with a pop up text box that requests whether or not they player on the receiving end truly wants to be "put down." If the receiver grants permission, the executioner will be prompted with a text box that that asks if they're sure, confirming the decision will activate a 7 second process that states the following:

"Noah Kirchner kneels down to Alex Crossman, putting a M4A3 service pistol to their forehead, ready to pull the trigger..."

When the 7 seconds are up, a special combat log crops up, it says "NoahKirchner {Noah Kirchner} executes Biolock {Alex Crossman}!"

Should this mechanic be abused to prevent infected marines from bursting, a parameter can be put in place to nullify the process by making it unable to be performed on KO'd marines, SSD, ,Marines that are uninjured, and Marines that aren't in the late stage of bursting.

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

No.

-1

Edit: Let me rephrase, no as in, the way this is written, I could see it being heavily abused.

Maybe if it were attached to a specific gun the CDR got then yes but as it stands, no.

[Xurphorus]

I like this idea, might be best to implement by grabbing(agressive) then using the free hand to execute with a pistol, by aiming for the head.

+1

[Imperator_Titan]

+1 just to watch Bill Carson have lines of prisoners, executing them 1 by 1.

[Boltersam]

I'd be all for a verb like this being available as a "Mercy kill".

However, it could be added to a CO-specific pistol that it doesn't require the other's permission but takes longer, as an actual execution. Any non-CO player trying to use this ability would obviously take part in the staff banhammering league, as the ball.

+1.

[Nicboone]

+1 I often am recovered post infection a bit too late and like to RP squadmates putting me down to a gentle end.

am deeply concerned about its abuse- perhaps have it timed like the suicide option with the text every can see, giving people a chance to disarm first. It really needs to be kept under a close eye for ban watch though.

Having to shoot someone 6 times with a point blank revolver in the head to kill them really kills rp when you're trying to execute marines as an iron bear.

[Steelpoint]

On /tg/station there is a 'execution' mechanic where if you aim select someone's mouth, and then click their mob sprite with any projectile firearm on (I think) help intent, you'll prepare to execute them. It takes about ten seconds after clicking to actually fire your gun. In game it works by multiplying your weapons damage significantly, so a 20 damage laser would now deal 100 damage.

The system also respects your guns condition and what kind of gun your using. Trying to execute with a empty weapon will just produce a clicking sound, firing a stun weapon will just stun the person for double the usual time, and firing a cap gun will just make a loud pop.

[Sleepy Retard]

I mean, could just throw up a dialogue thing asking if you want to be shot in the head.

While sort of silly, eh, it would prevent abuse.

Either way, I like the idea. +1

[McRipfist]

It could work similar to face paint application unless they're of a rank such as Commander or something.

[Biolock]

Why did I have to die for this suggestion :c

[Crab_Spider]

Why did I have to die for this suggestion :c

Because it just felt right :^)

[Tylaaaaar]

I like this idea, most the time when i asked to be " Mercy Killed " It ends up with a fellow marine missing most there shots and causing a lotta pain and not so much mercy and a lot more murderous and ands some juicy rp to the mix. +1

[z a n e b o t]

+1, would make things a lot easier

[Steven Sneider]

I'm surprised snype didn't ask for this to be locked out of inactivity.

[Boltersam]

I still think it's a good suggestion, as long as it requires consent and can only be used non concentually when-

A: A CO specific pistol is used as an execution

Or

B: When executing another faction. EG: Marine executing Iron Bear.

[Recounted]

+1 would be ok with this

[Hyperio]

+1 if there are some conditions set up to prevent abuse. The CO specific pistol or the pop-up question to confirm that it is your will to die that way are good suggestions.

[Keban DaBrowne]

+1, especially if you can try it with an empty gun for psychological torture.

[Symbiosis]

What if you dragged a wielded gun onto someone's sprite and it popped up a dialog "Soandso" would like to help you put an end to the pain...

Then the option to select Yes or No would pop up?

[z a n e b o t]

Then the option to select Yes or No would pop up?

That would be good

[Bronimin]

Make it resistible instead of aa dialogue box and sure, why not.

[DatBerry]

It's already possible to one hit kill, you will need something that isn't 9mm though, im guessing .44 and slugs will surely do, not sure but rifles, anyway. you neck grab the guy and remove his helmet, and put a hole in his skull ((usually blowing it up)).

I think the popup would become an issue if it's implanted as something that can be done at all times, knowing how much the dev team 'dumbed' down some things to stop the playerbase from abuse, i doubt this will go through.

What he said +1

[Szunti]

if it was neck grab + timer like the suicide, I don't think it could be abused. By the time the victim would die, you could choke him or shot him a couple of times, so it wouldn't be an efficient way to kill, only for RP.
