Maybe they should let the teleporter calibrate next time.

What races are playable roundstart are completely up to the server owners as that's all in the config (Roundstart flies are a memerace in my opinion).

Roundstart flypeople (like lizards) shouldn't be allowed to be heads in code, but yeah teleporter accidents are all in game stuff.

Upon further review, the code that handles who can be heads (qualifies_for_rank()) is garbage and not set for any race besides humans, lizards, and plasmemes.

Thus they can be roundstart heads.

Somebody asked for it. I wanted to see if anybody would play them, which they do, and if they would be snowflakely, which they are not. Pleasantly surprising.

I have yet to see a bad fly player to be completely honest.

The argument against flys being heads should probably also apply to security roles (which lizards can be).

That's not really an argument though. I've seen loads and loads of shitty human players but they can still be heads of staff. See?

All this will end is Lizards being up for command positions with flypeople being used as a "if they can do it why can't we?".

Are you telling me that the lizard's prey animals can be heads but the ALPHA PREDATOR lizards can not.

You see the food chain states

Monkey eats Lizard eats Fly.

Therefore. Flies should have access to no job except for those deemed less than lizards. Janitor, Botanist, or Ass.

They shouldn't be heads, but only for a mechanical reason: they're not human and it tips the scales of revolution even further than normal when the AI's not on side.

Yo real talk: I don't care how many races we add to this game, but I find it quite amusing that the slippery slope people who were vehemently against lizards turned out to be correct.
