This is why I don’t like people trying to justify their use of bugs because they personally feel like the impact will be minimal, and then when it finally does have some relevance they just go “well it’s just one round it’s ok”.
I totally understand this rationale. But I would counter that if these bugs are minor in themselves, and go unfixed for an extended period of time, they simply become a part of the game which most people, after playing long enough, come to discover through some way or another. No different than they would any other hidden feature, and pretty much everything in SS13 is hidden until you see it done, not just bugs. No one knew you could slam someone's head into a table until they saw it done, for instance.
Anyway my point is similar to Omega's in that anything could lead to something greater. A bug could do this, or even someone just being falsely accused of being a ling. A few days ago someone accused a guy of being a ling so I arrested him, searched and found a flash so I mindshielded him out of an abundance of caution, and the guy was a headrev. It was a very close crew victory too, it may have gone very differently without that false accusation. But no one gets banned for false accusations.
Likewise if a bug is integrated into the game to such an extent, which all minor bugs
are on account of them still being around in the first place (bugs that still exist likely are too insignificant to be worth bug reporting or noticed by anyone anyway), then it's no different than any other feature causing the butterfly effect. Why is it intrinsically worse if a bug were to do this?

Hey man don't knock yourself for being a player, player opinion matters too you're not a nobody just cause your name ain't colored.
