Correct me if im wrong, but at some point in the past it was so that if a persons timer was over 15 or 20 minutes, they would spend their time in perma, but not be permanantly confined, right? Right now its worded so that anything over 15 minutes, and you get locked up for the entire 1 to 2 hour shift.
Even as someone who plays security a lot, even as HoS, i dont agree with this rule. It makes it far too easy for security to just remove someone from being able to do anything for the rest of the round. Was this change made intentionally? I thought the space law tried to lean on the side of NOT keeping people locked away forever.
Perma wouldnt be so bad if it was like it was in SS13 or in other servers, where the stations have a proper prison and the prisoners have things thet can be put to work doing. Right now, its just… empty. I really think perma shouldnt be handed out so easily in its current state.
Ideally yeah, because managing food and water for someone manually will be an issue for warden, and also faux round-removing someone from the game is just unfun.
Security, in an OOC setting, should generally allow players to have as much fun as possible without well, being accused of incompetency.
I think it’s a mindset issue of a “validhunting, throw em in cage, jobs done, good job, pat on the back” mentality.
It’s actually better now than it was before new space law went into affect. Before it was pretty much ANY contraband at all and you were thrown in Perma till the end of the shift. Open uplink? Insta-perma. At least this is what I experienced in MRP LRP. Now at least if you only have 1 item of contraband you simply spend X minutes then can get released.
i have no idea what your talking about honestly. i exclusively play mrp and the only time ive ever gotten perma before the space law change was for round removing someone else, which is fair. Now ive been put in perma for a few small c4 bombs in random, unimportant locations, and tossing a few fire grenades. Its far too easy for security to tack on a time longer than 15 minutes, and therefore, far too easy for them to lock someone up forever.
