From 3992250aee557de03d54d718efda25c6dca007ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: VerySoft Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2022 12:23:12 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Removes the announcement for main pred and morph spawns The announcement only really encourages people to go hunting for it, and usually not in the good way, which can in general ruin the surprise that these roles can employ. So! I think it would be better if we just didn't announce them publicly, since they aren't a thing we ever want people to go and respond to mechanically, and, I think that announcements like these ought to be reserved for things we want people responding to. --- code/game/objects/structures/ghost_pods/event_vr.dm | 10 ---------- 1 file changed, 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/code/game/objects/structures/ghost_pods/event_vr.dm b/code/game/objects/structures/ghost_pods/event_vr.dm index 171a5f5941..cc7cf8379a 100644 --- a/code/game/objects/structures/ghost_pods/event_vr.dm +++ b/code/game/objects/structures/ghost_pods/event_vr.dm @@ -80,11 +80,6 @@ to_chat(M, "You may be a spooky space monster, but your role is to facilitate spooky space monster roleplay, not to fight the station and kill people.
