seems a totally good idea.
Then don't click ready????
Ah yes, the fantastic tactic of 'don't play unless you commit to playing a role you don't actually want and won't enjoy or risk fucking the roles you do want' when the problem is 'players don't really want to play certain roles'
How about just accept that this isn't really an issue and that certain people play the game for different reasons? Is it that hard to take a step back and go 'well actually even though
I don't mind playing role 'X' a percentage of the player base are here to kill people, for which there is a roll and they will take little to no enjoyment from being railroaded into having to play a dozen other roles they have already played to death?
Why not just open the thunderdome from roundstart and have an option to play TDM if you don't get antag? Does it harm you? Does it cause danger to the station round that already exists? Is the best option really to go 'well you exclusively like eating potato, but because I don't like that you exclusively like eating potato imma make you eat hardtack three of four meals before you get to eat potato, and if you don't like it then don't eat anything, or imma ban you from food'?
I feel at this point the discussion isn't actually about the negative effects of roundstart suicide, which there are few; but rather because you just disapprove of the behaviour, like some sort of weird 2-D slut shaming.
