Use ID to lock dorms?
Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2016 2:57 am
There's been a couple of times in the past where people have hidden in dorms, where security aren't allowed to look for them due to OOC rules about interrupting scenes - and security are naturally happening across a locked door in the middle of a manhunt and having to adminhelp to ask us if they're allowed to kick the door in.
[06:05:46] Ace: What if we added a mechanism to scan who is occupying a dorm?
[06:05:57] Ace: Like in order to lock it you had to swipe your ID
[06:06:04] Scree: That would be interesting.
[06:06:04] Ace: "Occupied by so-and-so"
[06:06:18] Ace: At least one of two people is going to have an ID.
[06:06:59] Scree: So to hide in a dorm without sec knowing you're there, you'd need an accomplice who isn't wanted (or suspected) by sec. I like it.
[06:07:04] Ace: Yes
[06:07:13] Ace: Or a stolen ID
[06:07:15] Ace: *nodnod*
[06:07:43] Scree: And if you have the cooperation of another crewmember they can already hide you from security.
[06:08:03] Scree: Scree will happily hide people from security at any time. Especially tasty people. :9
[06:08:24] Ace: I wouldn't make it a requirement to swipe ID but if security is looking for someone and the dorm is "occupied by unknown" then it's just valids for security to bust in and look
[06:08:53] Ace: Scree can you post that idea on the forum? Too busy
So. It's posted to the forum. Anyone got any thoughts? Objections?
Essentially it would just be a case of "swipe ID to lock door, panel outside the dorm tells them who locked the door".
