Terror Spider Mode

[ZN23X]

 

I'm sure many will agree with this n I'm just putting it up here to help any momentum this might have. Just played a round where terror spiders appeared within the first 15 minutes, we spent all the way until the 2 hour shuttle fighting them. It felt like a really long and challenging but exciting round. Antags job is to make the game more exciting. Mission accomplished.

 

PLEASE add this as a game mode in the normal rotation. It was SO much freaking fun.

EDIT: Wanted to add cuz I think this is important, I've been in many matches where terror spiders seem to be a later round thing if the primary antags either fail or are boring, but this round specifically had them very early and it made a big difference.

Thanks!

Here's the result from the round-end satisfaction poll:

 

Did you enjoy the Terror Spiders round?

- Yes: 52 votes (77%)

- Meh: 12 votes

- No: 3 votes

 

I don't think its ready to be a gamemode yet (that round required a fair bit of adminbus to have it go so well).

Still, perhaps with a few more PRs, it could be.

Kyet (tzo), this mode is awesome!

Not sure if this has been experimented with but maybe also make it so blob rounds don't have a hard end to them when the blob reaches a certain size. This terror spider round felt alot like a blob round where the whole station has to pitch in against the threat. Maybe make it so blob rounds just automatically call the shuttle when the blob reaches a certain size kind of like when the cult calls thier diety.

EDIT: though for the sake of realism I supposed the shuttle wouldn't be called due to quarantine.
