I don't think this game mode should ever be available for humans, because humans already are established as both in-lore and de facto dominant species, and because it doesn't take a genius to figure out what glyph players would choose to signify their allegiance to the human race.
This is unironically a fantastic idea, the implementation of which would be a tangible step to solving the problem I sought to draw attention to in this thread.

You know that killing the janitor just because he talked about unionizing IC is random murder, right? Doubly so on Manuel. Security who don't go through due diligence and investigate whether a target is a probable antag will eat a ban, just like with
every other gamemode.

I wonder how a rogue AI can manage to overthrow the entire station when he only has a few borgs at his command. If only they were to give rogue AIs special abilities that allow them to accomplish their nefarious goals in an interesting manner.

You've got nothing to apologize for, lad. A few naysayers may call you mad, but I call you a visionary.
