I support this as long as the bodies will behave like punching bags when hit.

Also add guillotines. Just add several execution methods.

Only if explanations for why the noose fails to work on a non-human, based on their species, were also included.
Gotta keep up the emulsions.

to be fair, didn't the first day after lizards were added result in an AI winning the "literally hitler" award for announcing a party in the holodeck for all the lizard crewmembers then turning the plasma fire simulation on? Any new feature gets that Day One Rush that makes it seem like a terrible idea until it dies down.

That round was creatively done and moderately funny. It had setup and timing. Nooses are super predictable. That kills the "joke"

Hanging should be reserved as a Rev Head only item they can use on Heads of Staff during rev rounds for maximum 'VIVA!'.

yeah the very first time the ai lynches all lizards because it can is funny and somewhat unexpected

after seeing it literally hundreds if not thousands of times the joke becomes instantly dead

nooses would already be missing that creativity and just be used to further currently unfunny dead memes
