LightFire53 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 The NT Rep has the same stamp as Central Command. While they are an agent of Central, I don't think that they should have the same, all powerful stamp. New design, same central green, maybe?

GelatinousGlob Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Ive always assumed CentComm stamps were admin stamps, although this does give the potential for forging CentCommd ocuments as an antag. Now im hoping its not fixed/changed so I can utilize this in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeykins Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I believe this was a deliberate change, the NT Rep used to have a different stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forged CC papers. Current CC papers have a huge logo on it, it's just a matter of confusing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakhi Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Actually the difference in the two is that the NT Rep stamp stamps green on a paper, and a Central Command fax stamp ends up grey. While on the paper you're reading they look the same, the item sprite is different. As I recall, they used to have a different stamp that just saying NT Representative, like the Captain's stamp and so on. So, yes, in a way they have a Central Command Stamp, but it doesn't mean much. No one listens to the representative anyway, and you can tell a normal paper and fax apart from a Central Command one. I think they have different fonts.

While on the paper you're reading they look the same, the item sprite is different. Fax is black and white. It doesn't print colors, so the stamped papers [on the outside] are always grey.

TullyBBurnalot Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 From a purely IC perspective, the Representative is supposed to operate outside CoC, as a field agent of NanoTrasen. As such, it does kinda make sense that they have a CC stamp. They're supposed to be people trusted by CC to carry on their policy and make sure things get done, so they have their "blessing", so to speak. From a gameplay perspective, they're a karma role that, due to their nature, only really attracts and maintains people interested in paperwork-based RP, so letting them have a nice little official CC stamp would make sense. Carries weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plotron Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 From a gameplay perspective, they're a karma role that, due to their nature, only really attracts and maintains people interested in paperwork-based RP *cough* I use this role when I'm feeling validhunty or when I do not want the extra responsibility that comes from being in an actual command role. With this access you can freely roam the station. And if I can intervene when people are treated unfairly - that's doubly cool. I do believe that the stamp should be changed, though. If the NT Rep stamps it, it should be NT Rep's stamp on it. He's just one person with his own opinions. And when his opinions align with those of CC, then I guess he has papers to back that up.

Shadeykins Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 To be fair, Plot... The opinions of the NT Rep should ALWAYS align with those of CC. He's the corporate pawn, guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plotron Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 To be fair, Plot... The opinions of the NT Rep should ALWAYS align with those of CC. You have to know CC's opinion first. That's why it's best to keep these stamps separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you're kinda doing it wrong. That's not the intended purpose of the Rep at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I agree with the thread's intent. CC and NT Rep should really have separate stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkvA Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Central Command only has the same stamp as the Nanotrasen Representative because when I implemented proper stamps for admin faxes we didn't have a unique stamp for either party, and I believe WJohnson was kind enough to design a sprite for them. If someone can design a good looking stamp for the NT Rep though I'll gladly implement it. The photoshop file for stamps is here: https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradis ... stamps.psd.
