WingedYordle Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) No one is in favor removing cloner from medbay, it would be great to have an option to accept or deny cloning. Due to my "snowflake" bio, my character has unstable DNA to clone. I have no option stop cloning and I am sometimes AFK and forget to leave body before they read my medical profile and clone. It is a waste of biomass. Is it possible to add an option either in preferences or have it ask you to clone or not? EDIT: Or enforce medbay to read user's medical history... Edited October 18, 2017 by Trubus Just thought of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcelinePye Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 We have 4? Races that cannot be cloned already, and they are regularly gibbed/ignored. I don't think we need to increase that number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply have no desire for some characters to be cloned even though they are cloneable, and it would remove some hassle if a preference toggle would auto-reject my cloning process, or something of that nature.

Hylocereus Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Yeah, I also play a character who is "uncloneable" for IC reasons but nobody ever checks her medical profile so usually I just end up stubbornly afking as a ghost in the corner of the map and flicking in and out of my corpse occasionally to remind people strange reagent exists. (Well, Sam can BE cloned, it's just really really bad and traumatic for her for various reasons and she has an alternate method of revival offstation) It would be really neat to have an uncloneable toggle in preferences like Rurik said. Only a few snowflakes would use it, myself included, but it would also force medical to be less "whatever" about letting patients die so I love the idea for that alone. I wonder how hard it would be to code... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I placed a suggestion a long time ago to remove clone. A lot of people had mixed feelings. Edited October 18, 2017 by Trubus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's that absurd to be personally against cloning. Maybe you're skeptical that your soul actually transfers upon death, so you'd rather stick to your original brain and body. It's the problem of personal identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdtalon Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It's not, but when a suggestion is made due to a "snowflake" thing which could potentially affect the entire server then it deserves a lot more thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylocereus Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Does it really effect the whole server though when it's entirely opt in? That's like saying being able to turn of traitor effects the whole server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someonewithapen Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I wouldn't say no if this were an option. A lot of people purposely choose handicaps for the sake of RP as it is (Prosthetic limbs + disabilities) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't change how cloning works. Nowhere has any kind of mechanical change been suggested. The way I'm seeing it implemented, if ever such a thing was possible, it would just be something like automatically throwing an MIF on people who had it enabled. Don't have it enabled? Nothing changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doukan Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Make unclonability for whatever reason a char preference ala NT relations/disabilities AND HAVE IT COME UP IN BIG RED LETTERS when someone tries to scan the corpse, problemo en el solvedad? Or have it be an SE mutation, that might be more fun. Edited October 19, 2017 by Doukan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
