What does this suggestion change/add/remove:<br>[Make it so in order to break out of cuffs all you have to do is press your mouse button once and it will start breaking you out of said cuffs at a constant rate. Do the same for 096 bucket as in you press the button once and it continuously breaks out at a constant rate. For both of these you would remove the ability to spam click in order to break out. To stop breaking out of restraints or the bucket you just press the button once again]<br><br>Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:<br>[I do not think this suggestion has been suggested before]<br><br>Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):<br>[Better accessibility making it so someone who isn't good at clicking continuously can still break out of cuffs on their own. In particular breaking out of SCP cuffs is EXTREMELY difficult even when someone is breaking you out. It of course functionally impossible when not being broken out by others which isn't a problem and in fact is needed but still breaking out when others are letting you out is so hard even for me who doesn't have any disability which makes continuously clicking tricky. Breaking out of bucket being a good amount easier is nice because continuously hitting the button is tiring which again is important for those with disabilities. Finally changing the system to be a continuously breaking out instead of spam click would remove the ability for some people to merely use an auto clicker to break out of cuffs very quickly.]<br><br>Possible Negatives of the suggestion:<br>[Removes the skill people might have for breaking out of cuffs easily]<br><br>Based on the Positives &amp; Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:<br>[For both accessibility and in order to prevent an exploit like an auto clicker I think this should be accepted. At the very least add an option to have the continuous break out as opposed to the rapid clicking]

Either toggle, hold or otherwise configurable. Sure do love RSI/physical disability and unnecessary hardware wear.

For the time being, I would recommend an external macro for this, for anyone who has accessibility needs, however that's technically against the rules 🙃:
2.02 Cheating (Community Blacklist) - The use of external software to gain an unfair advantage, such as wall hacks or aimbot (excluding crosshairs) as well as abusing glitches which is strictly forbidden and will not be tolerated.

(And one other which I forgot, was it Minor Glitching, or?) I wouldn't mind even just a temporary alteration to the relevant rule(s) for specifically exempting this, however I would be wary of giving the kinds of people that would abuse that loophole, an opportunity to do so.

+ support. Itd be real cool to see some feedback/highlight on the person/SCP you are about to cuff/bucket.

Edit: didn't read this right. Still +support. I usually don't even bother because I'd rather not have a sore finger every time I want out.

Realized that the biggest hurdle here is the coding because even elastic restraints are indeed an addon ported over from things like dark rp and further so that would be an advanced coding adventure. I do think there is a severe disability problem when it comes to this requiring clicking to get released, sure those can be broken out of but the SCP cuffs REQUIRE active struggling along with someone breaking out. I do think this is functionally not as fair.

I mean me without a disability have tired fingers by the time I break out of SCP cuffs with assistance, would be utterly horrible for those who actually have a disability that makes clicking repeatedly actively painful
 
+support everything else
-support elastic restraints

i think this could be good in some areas but definitely not with elastic restraints.

if the mechanism to spam-click out of cuffs is to be removed, then the time it takes to break out by holding or automatically needs to be upwards of 15-20 seconds. breaking out of restraints is not an easy task, and there needs to either be some sort of hard task required by the player to break out of them, or they need to take a really long time to break out.

if the restraints was changed to both include
1. a mechanism where holding the "break out" button breaks you out slowly (at a pace of 20+ seconds)
2. the current "spam clicking" mechanism that breaks you out much easier (and at the skill level of the player)
then this could work

otherwise, removing the entire hard part of "breaking out of restraints" would essentially remove all the realism from them and make them much less useful. you cant break out of restraints in real life by barely putting any work in, so allowing you to not put any work in within this server doesnt make much sense..

also one could argue "some people want to play noncombative and dont bother to spend time clicking their mouse fast" uh skill issue? if youre kidnapped irl you cant say "im not combative so lemme just magically free myself while doing nothing."

I mean, it doesn't have to be a constant rate. it could be with some kind of randomisation variation, which could be preset to a favour deliberately worse rates for non-combatives. Would that satisfy your balance concerns?

It helps with some of it, but I still think there should be some skill either required or optional. Breaking out of cuffs takes skill, and completely stripping it away without even offering an option for those who are more skilled, to break out faster, just takes away from the rp

...I mean, IDK about you, but I think we can afford to take away what little RP and skill there is in breaking out of cuffs, for the sake of the disabled. These aren't really equal things, one very obviously outweighs the other. There can be compromise - But ultimately this at least needs to be an option.

Plus, I'm sure @Zen will probably stumble on some kind of legal obligation to do so, anyway.

sure but the skill represents the actual struggle, and what makes the cuffs meaningful. if you removed all skill or work done by the player, then there goes all skill and tension that resolves around the restraints. if youre able to make a system that uses something other than spam clicking then sure, but given that this hasn't been offered at all, the suggestion seems to be less of a complaint about the action itself and more just a lazy solution to avoid the mechanic

also theres no legal requirement lmfao. otherwise you could say this for every video game that requires physical input. in the governments eyes a roleplay server and dark souls 4 are the exact same. if you convince the government that dark souls is too hard on your wrist, and they dont js laugh, ill be surprised.

...WDYM hasn't been offered? That's what this entire discussion's about. Trying to paint it as some way to lazily avoid the mechanic is very clearly not in the spirit of what the suggestion's about.

That comment's mostly just based on Zen previously finding an obscure technicality in anti-discrimination law that made having to pay for PAC just to use female models a potential legal concern in the past 🤷‍♀️
