Re: {Roleplay} Heretics should be allowed to say fuck in an eldritch tongue
There's levels of uncontainability, and changelings are a BIG step above heretics. Sure, some heretic types can easily escape prison if you toss them in perma unattended, but changelings can and will escape rapidly from cuffs while being held by an officer and are just as dangerous as if they'd neve...

Re: Bump down the population Birdshot rolls at to 50-60
Maybe we should look into making map votes able to be called again after say, 30 minutes. That way you never lock people out of choosing a new map but "I vote bird at roundstart when theres 15 people on then only play another 10 minutes" has less of an effect on the next round 90 minutes l...
