Protected stamps, weaker cybersun pen

[whatston3]

About the PR

Adds a Protected field to Sheriff, SR and Centcomm rubber stamps. When a stamp with this field set to true is used to stamp a piece of paper, the paper receives a tag that notes it is protected.

The CyberPen can no longer edit papers stamped with these stamps. The CentComm pen, however, can.

Should also fix any issue with the centcomm pen being labelled as class 3 contraband.

Why / Balance

The biggest issue with Cyberpen availability is (apparently) game ruining through impersonation of command jobs. With these changes, that should hopefully be less of an issue, so we can get more lower-level fraud to spur more cheeky interaction between players.

If we need additional levels of protection (traffic tickets? signatures only?), this could be moved from a boolean & tag to integral fields.

With this, it might be plausible to give positions like the PAL and STC weaker/equivalent versions of the cybersun pen.

How to test

1. Spawn a piece of paper, a pen, a cybersun pen, and a centcomm pen.
2. Spawn an SR stamp, sheriff stamp, centcomm stamp, and an engineer's stamp.
3. Sign a piece of paper. Equip the pen, click the signed page, you should sign it again.
4. Equip the cybersun pen, click the signed page, you should edit it.
5. Equip the centcomm pen, click the signed page, you should edit it.
6. Stamp the paper with the engineer's stamp.
7. Equip the pen, click the page, you should sign it.
8. Equip the cybersun pen, click the page, you should edit it.
9. Equip the centcomm pen, click the signed page, you should edit it.
10. Spawn a piece of paper.
11. Stamp the paper with the SR's stamp.
12. Equip the pen, click the page, you should sign it.
13. Equip the cybersun pen, click the page, you should sign it.
14. Equip the centcomm pen, click the signed page, you should edit it.
15. Repeat steps 10-14 with the sheriff and centcomm stamp.
16. Bonus: send an uneditable admin fax - all of the pens should only be able to sign it.

Would you like this to be added to the mom stamp?

If so you're more than welcome, or I can take a look and try to add it myself.

I'm leaning towards no. On the one hand, yeah, they've got access to a bank and forging prior agreements with the previous MOM is kind of awful, but on the other hand, I don't think saying "MOM said I could" flies nearly as far as with centcomm/SR/sheriff.

Edit: you can make a lesser version of the same argument with the STC.

Dad says no so go ask mom is not centcomm SOP.

Makes sense. Thought it was worth bringing up.

Cybersun Pain

Can the cybersun pen still be used to edit smuggling note papers? Because I feel like that should still be able to be done, just to send NFSD on a wild goose chase.

Any paper that's missing the tag can be edited by the Cybersun pen. None of the existing paper prototypes in-game have that tag, so you're fine - they'll have to be stamped by a player with a sheriff, SR, or centcomm stamp as-is.

Funny enough, the break room and atmos setup papers (if they still exist) are from some central command authority, and can be edited, though I think they have names that'll stand out. Could have some fun with those with somebody playing a not quite so bright character if you can get your hands on them.
