They can observe freely while dead if they want to wait it out.

Anyway, is there an eventual resolution that lets people escape death? You keep talking about how horrible it is for people to have to sit and wait for outside help both here and in respect to soft crit but whats the difference between being stuck asleep/in crit and being stuck dead other than that you get to be camera that can fly around? Wouldn't my suggestion of making it so ghosting just killed you instead of making your body a shell that you can never re-enter fix that issue?
I've already said that the lings requiring N2O is a problem with lings, not with N2O permastun.
That's a pretty important difference between la la land and being dead...
Watching traitors slaughter the crew or a ling go rampant is somehow comparable to watching a 3x3 screen around your person?
Again, I don't see the allure to having these outside of having a changeling, which AGAIN is a problem in itself. The only argument I have really gotten out of this thread as for why they should exist is that because they already exist if even that. I did see "HUGBOX" so maybe people are just afraid of that? idk.

No because whatever ghosting does is irrelevant. The game should not put you in the situation of "should I wait for 5 more minutes and continue to play?" or "should I just succumb and watch?" because people often choose the first one over and over and over. It should make that decision for you, which is why current crit is nice because it slowly kills you.

Maybe if we made it fully black again then they would go the fuck away releasing them from the torment of their little porthole into the game.
Erro(?) was wrong bring back full black screen.
Save the idiots from hope.
Imagine being this upset people want to stick around and play as their main character in a roleplaying game.
