This one may get me some abuse but still.

Why not make a xeno round a possible game mode instead of a special event? From what i have seen over OOC some people really like xenos... others not so much. Has there ever been a plan to implement them completely into a game mode?

Xeno rounds, if played to their fullest, can take upwards of an hour or two. Not to mention that it starts out with one side hiding out of sight, eventually spreading in, and then the other side hiding out of sight until a Deathsquad happens or a shuttle is called. Not to mention, what would the objectives be? Almost anything I can think of would be rediculously easy to accomplish for xenos, simply because they're just more powerful than almost any other "antag" in the game. Personally, I just don't think having it as anything other than an event that rarely happens would be a good idea.

Admins almost never do xeno rounds because we get spammed with that garbage in adminhelp/pray every single round. "XENO PLS, MAKE ME XENO, WOULD BE COOL"

When a xeno round does happen, everyone runs straight into them screaming, "FACEHUG ME PLS, I WANT TO BE XENO"

I hope you can understand why the majority of the staff despises xenos.

I wouldn't mind if extended was changed to have a random chance at spawning xenos (either by the system or admin intervention).

Also all xenos rounds should end with a deathsquad and xenos protecting the nuke.

Nope.

People constantly ask for them every single day and we don't do them because they get run into the fucking ground and get old really really quickly. If you do xeno rounds every day then they're not special or fun anymore and eventually people get sick of them.

Same goes for "Assistant Generic Player(Dead): IT'D BE COOL IF THE ADMINS COOLED IN A DEATH SQUAD TO KILL THE XENOS HAHAH XD"

I'm very confident this'll never be put in place.

Well I've been on the server for 2 weeks and I still haven't had a xenos round or death squad.

But there was this one time where a RD+Durand took over the station and admins sent in a death squad.

[christianhat]

Ya makes perfect sense but I agree with warnipple that there should be more chance for a random event.

Dear god N

Xeno rounds have been driven to death.

[derpthestewpidgoat]

Gonna quickly post here. Yes and no.
Xeno rounds can be fun sometimes (read: rarely), and this is because usually the first lucky guy to get it happens to be hunter because "LOL IT SOUNS COOLIO" And so he ends up going around slashing people until a security fireteam ends him half a minute later in a blaze of glory, thus ending any chance of any other ghosts being xenos.

And on the other side we have the crew who if we DO get a competent player who becomes a drone then queen and then makes facehuggers, they most of the time decide to "accidentally" run straight into the nest and get facehugged instantly.

Which is why the admins hate it, and I agree with them.

[derpthestewpidgoat]

Also going to add onto my post, there IS/Was a random chance for a random event for some facehuggers to be spawned somewhere randomly, but admins likely got rid of it for said reasons above.

People can't handle xeno rounds, usually. I've seen one or two awesome ones, but that REQUIRES competent players on BOTH sides. Not an easy thing to achieve by any means.

I agree with the admins on this one, sadly. I just wish it didn't have to be this way.
