Polymorphing yourself

[confused rock]

Apparently if you polymorph yourself into a xeno you are an antag
why is this ok?

[yackemflam]

Because wizard rounds by design, are a cluster fuck
People are allowed to barnyard everyone and get lynched for it
On the other hand, you ARE allowed to murder anyone who is a xeno because xenos

[Shadowlight213]

If it's a wizard round, yes.
If you have sentience potioned a magi/chaos carp and tell it to shoot you with a bolt of change until xeno, that's a little eh.

If that's the scenario then i'd allow it considering how hard they worked for it, but still. Kind of a shitty move. If we allow powergaming we allow this, I suppose.

[InsaneHyena]

Wait, what? Making yourself an antag with chaoscarp is allowed? Shit, why I only hear about this now.

[Shadowlight213]

I wouldnt call it allowed. It's HEAVILY frowned upon. I'll discuss it with other headmins.

I usually go friendly if polymorphed into a xeno. Turns out to be fun for everyone, then that odd other player is a murdering xeno, and then everyone turns on you. Only got turned on once though, heh.

[Screemonster]

Friendly xenos are hilarious if only for the incredible salt that is generated when people get used to the idea of xenos being friendly only to be surprised when xenos then proceed to act like xenos.

[Wyzack]

Or the salt from the friendly xenos when I torch thier disgusting hovels and burn them all to death. Seriously I have been playing here for many years and I have never seen friendly xenos end in anything but surprise face rape.

[Wyzack]

To amend that occasionally a friendly hunter or polymorphed crewman are possible, but if they have the capability to breed all bets are off

[Anonmare]

Like Lizards then. Fine and even friendly in small quantities, but when they can breed they inevitably turn violent.

[Okand37]

In other words, reptiles that can breed are not to be trusted.

[Scott]

I don't see a problem with this at all, you can maybe get antag but you make yourself valid and possibly defenseless.

The only problem I see here is players having access to this stuff in any round that isn't Wizard spawned stuff.

Xenos aren't reptiles, I don't think.

[Okand37]

They are close enough, I couldn't think of a better category...
