Removes Shadow Sect #11921

Closed Programs-The-Station closed 3 hours ago

About The Pull Request

The Shadow Chaplain Sect is basically just used to murderbone. Yes, it requires collaboration with science, but it's fairly easy to do. The sect needs to be reworked to be less murderboney, and should just be disabled until #11766 is merged.

From the antag themselves: image

(Yes, this is a blatant I Ded PR, please appropriately tag)

Why It's Good For The Game

This sect needs a rework, and causes lots of problems in dead pop. This last round, the round was held effectively hostage because everyone died to the shadow creatures so nobody could call the shuttle, and it was on green alert.

I left in all the code so that the sect can be granted, but is not available unless admin bussed (I think). I could strip it out completely if desired.

Whoops. Done.

I don't think this is needed, we could just merge the other PR

The author of the other PR has higher priorities elsewhere and it is not ready to merge, the current state of the other PR is almost as bad as the current version just for different reasons. The near-invincibility of chaplains has not been addressed yet either.

It's been weeks without an update or requests being addressed:

ided or not, this PR is a good idea due to how slow the other PR is coming along. Real life happens and I have nothing against @ro5490 for being unable to fix it up yet, but the sect is bad enough to warrant total removal in the meantime. It was latent for a long while, but its balance is extremely bad as demonstrated with examples on the other PR.

Good idea, Currently v busy, will work on the fixes and balancing when I have more time

EvilDragonfiend commented 4 hours ago

Well, Let's just remove the code fully. Ro agreed with it the full removal. Please remove the shadow sect dm. I believe redesigning the sect will make the situation better.
