Revolution odds
Coderbus told me i should put it here instead of ideas:
So revolution rounds with only one head of staff are kinda pointless and tend to end pretty rapidly, especially if the head is the cmo.
Also the round chances are 11% with 30 people for rev which seems rather silly.
Would it be possible to prevent these rounds from happening and set a minimum of 2 or three heads?
Especially considering there was a push not to have extremely short rounds which got the singularity engine replaced and all.

Re: Revolution odds
adding a config to control a rounds triggering based on number of heads is not a bad idea Haev

Re: Revolution odds
Rev rounds should have a minimum of two or three round start Heads of Staff, I would even suggest there should be at least either one Captain or Head of Security to offer some modicum of challenge to the revs.
I recently was in a rev round with only the RD and I was the sole Head Rev, I made no effort to just leave the Library and run down to the RD when she was in the Teleporter room and, well....
Round was over literally in under one minute. The only person I converted was just some random guy who ran into the teleporter room after I crit the RD. These kind of rounds should not be occurring.

Re: Revolution odds
This is sort of already a thing.
If you pick a head role, and nobody else picked it, you get the head role, regardless of if it's low priority (it might actually disable it at low, but the point is head roles get HIGHLY prioritised).
The issue is, if nobody has a head role set, then nobody will roll those jobs at all.
So, we're half way there, just telling the game "you can't actually do this right now" and forcing an instant mulligan makes sense.

Re: Revolution odds
That's a good way to go Remie, simply swapping the round to Traitor or Mulligan or whatever when there's not enough Heads of Staff. Would help prevent these issues of one RD or one CMO versus a revolution by themselves, wasting everyone's time.

Re: Revolution odds
Or hold off on rev-ifying people until enough heads latejoin. Then roll some headrevs and give them an uplink code that spawns a single flash.
