Re: Security Metaprotections being used as Metagame Traps (Both by Antags and Non-Antags)

good way to make even less people play security It's hard to pick which one of the ideas proposed in the thread is the worst, there are so many options. My favorite is the idea that arresting someone who's not 'really' an antag lets them attack SEC. So either SEC tries to arrest someone who is an a...

"Nonantags can do whatever they want to confirmed antags..." etc. This is an awful idea absent a concrete definition of what counts as a 'confirmed' antag. It's still a pretty bad even then. The ability to be killed without consequence as an antag is the necessary counterpart to the 'anta...
