What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Currently, Amnestics are handled, in my opinion, a bit poorly. With Class-A through D providing little deviation from "Less Time you remember." As such, I wish to change how the Amnestics work in game, as well as possible add more from Lore in order to help promote a unique play for amnestic usage.


So, here is how Amnestics work on the server, and what I suggest is changed about them, and to my knowledge, changing how Amnestics works should be easy, and a member of SSL should be able to do it without any Dev Time. This has all been tested with 100ml Doses, and 200ml Doses, both warrant the same effect. As such I believe 100ml is a good standard for each dosage to remain at their suggested changes.

Class-A = Current: 1 Hour Memory Erasure
Suggested Change: 6 Hour of Memory Wipe

Class-B = Current: 2 Hour Memory Erasure
Suggested Change: 24 Hours of Memory Wipe

Class-C = Current: 4 Hour Memory Erasure
Suggested Change: Specific Memory Removal

Class-D = Current: 5 Hour Memory Erasure
Suggested Change: Early Memory Wipe, or perhaps remove all memories except skills, To be unique, it does NOT need to change your faction orientation, it just provides a unique roleplay opportunity to almost factory reset some one.

Class-E = Current: Targeted Memory Wipe
Suggested Change: A Chemical that makes people view something that would be abnormal, to be normal.

Class-F = Current: Complete Destruction of Identity and Memories, allowing brainwashing and reconstruction of subject.
Suggested Change: None, this can remain as is, however I do want to comment the recipe to make this is annoying, AMX Conversion sucks.

939 Blood = Current: 3 Hour Memory Erasure
Suggested Change: 1 Hour Memory Erasure


With this being aside, I do have one chemical suggestion to add, just because it can be a useful chemical , that being the following...

Class-G = Suggested Description: Makes you doubt specific information to the point where you aren't sure if its true or not, essentially gas lighting your memory.
Suggested Recipe: Class-C and SCP-457 in a Vacuum Chamber.

Each of the amnestic changes will help promote the roleplay opportunities each can produce, instead of most of them being copy and paste with a 1 hour difference. This will give members of each GOI and the Foundation to help pick and chose what type of amnestic roleplay they wanted to engage in, without making them all the same and just having people favor one or the other.

At the end of the day, Amnestics are rarely used, and even 939 blood gets used over Class-A since 939 blood is more effective then both Class-A and Class-B at this time, as it makes you forget 3 Hours.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
To my knowledge, it has not been suggested.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Promotes better Options for roleplay when dealing with infobreachs and other amnestic related issues.
- Actually promotes combining 939 and Amnesium to make Class-A, as atm Amnesium and 939 are just better Class-A.
- More incentivization to make Class-C, Class-D, and Class-E to be utilized for scenarios that might pop up.
- Less focus on just making Class-F, as you can make other things that can fill the gap that Class-F might need.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Possible complications with Class-G being added, but its hard to gauge.
- One More Chemical Combination

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
With this being all said, I am praying this will go through, as I feel the chemicals are really dumb at this time, and providing more utility in the form of making amnestics more broad, will just help roleplay, especially for things like ISD, Site Command, CI, and GOC.

I’m good with all these changes, but I feel like Class A should be the same. It’s used just for short encounters, and there’s no need to increase it for what its currently used as.

Also Class E sounds like a good idea, but my only fear of it is that someone would find out about something classified - get Class E’d then just go “oh well since it’s normal I’ll just talk about it”. Maybe keep Class E the same and give it’s new effects to Class C instead (as Class C would be cheaper, but doesn’t something that’s imo, a bit worse)

Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss Class G sounds like a great idea too. Would have loads of fun gaslighting my hostages about being eaten alive. “What???????? I ate you alive? Pfffffp, no I would never. Maybe you’re just going insane”

I really like the idea of varying the effects of the amnestics like this. It gives a lot of opportunity for RP for a bunch of different people. As it is, people do just use only 939, A, B (rarely), E, and F.

My only problem with this is the length of the shortest proper amnestic (A) under this is way too long. It would be useful to have one that's that long, but having a cheaper one that's properly made (in RP, we're told not to use 939 blood as it's unethical or something) and still just does 1 hour would be useful. I don't want it to become the norm that people get amnesticated for the full length of their multi-hour session in one go, otherwise it could cause problems in RP.
