Re: Should we treat flashing roundstart as an antag tell
I feel like "know everything about ingame mechanics" is meant to refer to things like what antags can do and how their powers work, not "This person did a thing that literally only exists in OOC logic but indicates they're an antag, so they're an antag". It would be like if you ...
