yes but if vamps naturally have higher stamina that can be very easily gamed when the greytider that's supposed to go down in a certain amount of disabler shots no sells what should be a stamcrit without injecting anything or becoming jittery/fast

I've been around for about 6 months now, so I figured I'd make one of these. I play Seren Highwater, a few of you may recognize me from TG when I played from 2021-2023. I play the game pretty casually, mostly just to enjoy it and hang out. I really try not to take the game or myself too seriously. The competitive side of the game has been lost for me. I'm always down to RP in-game, and join in on whatever shenanigans that conspire. If you ever need a friend, I'm your guy. If you've ever had a negative experience with me, I apologize, my bad moods are rare and usually go away the same day.  The people on Paradise are genuinely some of the best people I've played with as whole. I really appreciate the time I spend with you guys and I hope that experience holds. 

I figured I should make one of these by now. Because why not Hey I'm Yisati, I've been playing SS13 for roughly 7 years in total and I've been on Paradise for roughly 3-4 Months now. I'm drawn to pretty much a singular department during my playtime and that's medical. I find the rush of medical to be euphoric. I enjoy problem solving and finding a set of solutions to any given problem. I also regularly enjoy playing as a command role. You'll mostly see me as a CMO in game. I find working together as a team when it comes to any sort of medical emergency can be very fulfilling and fun and to me a biohazard round where medbay has fallen and we're out as a group trying our damn best to get people back up is the most exhilarating moments of gameplay. I play only during the late night dead shifts due to my schedule. Usually start playing at Midnight and end at 7AM my time. The character I pretty much solely play as is Kalcha P. Note. Local station hag (44) and an all around generally terrible person with a cringe inducing Syndicate backstory (Yes I'm self aware). I find playing a character I genuinely hate as a person is easier than playing someone I like. If Kalcha is ever too much please PLEASE let me know in LOOC or just a quick PM on discord. Everything I do is in character and while I like to assume others don't take things personally, I know my detachment from my character isn't the norm, and sometimes I need to be reminded of that if I'm going too far. Kalcha is a massive Vox hater, but I'd genuinely say the Vox are my favorite race and I respect the Vox players greatly as they add alot of flavor to the station. Do not take anything I say in game personally and I always make sure I'm directing to the character and not the player. What I want the most from any Paradise round is a story. I like to know what's going on and usually be at the sidelines or in the main station conflict. In that regard I also like to learn about people's characters. I've read every single medical record and I want to know more because to me that adds to the story of the round knowing the character relations and the characters themselves. If you ever feel like gushing about your characters feel free to do it to me directly in game or even just through Discord. And if you ever need help when it comes to anything medical just let me know. I'm fully willing to guide and teach people just know my knowledge is limited to medbay, it's chems and speedrunning virology. I have 600 hours of playtime but I've died trying to hack a door.

I think the main problem is Glare is just so much of the vampires power that even nerfing it remotely at this point completely neuters them. They already struggle when sec actually straps in to stop them and it would render them completely defenseless to just be stun baton'd down. I think vampires should just passively have higher max stamina if the glare is touched at all and I'd like to see more general buffs to the vampire so that glare isn't needed as crutch. However Glare still needs to be strong due to needing to get victims early in the round if you want to scale up at all. So it's a shitty situation all around to balance and I think it shows the issue with how strong the current stun baton is versus melee focused antags. I think Glare needs to find that PERFECT middle ground where it's less of a defensive tool and more of a subduing your victims tool. Then just make the vampire itself more defensive naturally to deal with the weakness it now has.  

If a vampire can prevent you by talking at all by staring into your eyes, it seems weird you'd even be able to shout. Like logistically what part of the brain is being affected that stops your vocal cords from working only in one of these cases?
