Rule Suggestion Prevent camping of 914 outside of Code 1/Code 2

[wojtekpolska]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
I think a rule should be added to prevent people from camping 914 for no valid reason, only because they know that this is where dclass go.
i encountered an E11 who just put down a shield and sat by 914 afking there for literally 3 hours and detaining any dclass that came.
He was there even when there was no code called. i called a sit but admin told me there are no rules against that.

I believe its quite unrealistic for someone to camp 914 specifically, they only do so because they know of the disguise mechanic that dclass can use.
914 is a big gameplay part for D-Class. Its positioned in a location thats not too hard for them to reach, behind a CL2 door, and (as Ventz said before) they can go to 914 and use it to get a disguise, even if they dont really have a RP reason to know what 914 is and how to use it.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
No i dont believe so

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Removes the unfairness to dclass of 914 being camped
Improves gameplay balance
prevents unrealistic camping of the room

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Will need to be a rule to be added and enforced.

note: this will NOT cause significantly more dclass escapes. gladly not many people are big enough tryhards to camp 914 all the time, and when it isnt camped i believe that dclass escaping is quite balanced. however when someone camps this gives dclass literally NO means of getting a disguise. zero.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I believe that the ability for E11 (or GSD) to camp 914 is completely unbalanced and even not very rp-realistic.
it ruins gameplay for dclass and adds NOTHING in return.



PS: this issue in general seems to be a recent issue, i only encountered it a couple times recently, but even like a month ago and earlier i basically never seen that happen. it seems to be some new tryhard behaviour that they started doing and i believe its not healthy for the game.

PPS: once again, im only arguing for no camping *outside* emergencies. during c1/c2 its completely justified for someone to sit by 914 if they want to. also i have nothing against patrols, as they seem balanced.
With camping just one spot for 3 hours you might aswel just put an AI turret in that place and it wouldn't change anything in practice.

Overall Neutral but:

- Negitive for stopping people camping there during Code 1s / Mass D-Class escape
During those times of code 1s and mass class escapes I think its completely reasonable to guard locations that are likely to be attacked / used.

+ Positive though for situations without a code / mass escape
People camping there does reduce RP for others trying to use it, and doesn't make massive sense within RP itself (considering there arent guards posted in most other semi-important locations).

"Guarding SCP-914 is unrealistic"

Meanwhile, in the literal SCP-914 Wiki entry: "SCP-914 is to be kept in research cell 109-B with two guard personnel on duty at all times"

to be fair. this is a gmod rp server where fun should be prioritized but either way

-support

they dont really camp it all that much and even then most of the time when i get to 914 i get a free kill or two. pvp is fun.

Suggestion Denied​

Hi @wojtekpolska,

Thanks for making a suggestion,

The SSL Team decided that this rule suggestion will be denied. It restricts RP by preventing people from guarding an SCP Object which they can do so if they wish. We cannot restrict them from staying there if they want and keep an eye on 914 because they know that it's a POI for other GOI's and want to keep the Facility safe which is their RP Job as Containment Unit for example. It may be unfair for D-Classes though they are Prisoners in a highly secured Military Facility it is not meant to be easy to escape neither is it for CI to enter and disguise without anyone noticing.​
