spawning wizard is pretty rare. when a wizard dies less than 20 minutes in, players are forced to restart their jobs without having had a fair chance to complete them.with rounds that don't end on antagonist death, the shuttle can't physically dock at centcom until about 30 minutes in. so why not just spawn another wizard instead?

your title says spawn another wiz but your poll looks like it's asking for extended after?

It's better for the round to end after the wiz than playing extended.

In rare cases where the wiz dies really fast, it could be nice.
In most cases where the wiz is killed after a lot of fuckery and most of the server is dead, no one wants that.

Okay I'll admit that I used to hate mulligans making dead wiz -> extended/traitor but lately there have been a few too many 5 minute wiz rounds as everyone's getting SM set up/research/mining. I agree that one of the better solutions would be to spawn another wiz if the round is <30 minutes or something like that.

I think it being admin controlled would be better. If a wiz gets fucked 5 min into the round let admins spawn a new one or another antag at their discretion. Otherwise you'd get people going "don't kill the wiz until the 30:00 mark"

extended is terrible. you've been around forever - so has the problem of dead wizards screwing over people who dare do their jobs. getting to play wizard is pretty rare, so this would give more people the chance.

so if it checked whether a percentage of crew were still alive first it'd work
