Idea: unconscious people go to Dreamland
The problem: unconscious people, via the little window of vision they have + right clicking, have access to a lot of information including "where am I being dragged", "who took my shit", "is that guy implanting a bomb in my chest", etc. It's such a weird area I don't even know if it's IC or OOC
Possible solution: Unconscious minds go to a dreamland where they can fuck around as monkeys or some shit, I dunno. Exceptions would be made for certain things, notably lings, probably ghoul powder, who'd be massively gutted if they couldn't use the existing system. Dreamland as opposed to a black screen because that'd be fucking boring.
Pros: -you can rest assured that unconscious people can't see what you're doing. This would theoretically reduce murderboning by reducing the number of real witnesses to various crimes
-you can count on a victim not knowing what, if anything, you did to them while they were out, which lets you get a little more creative and gives them a lot less time to plan an escape once they wake up. You can also do specific antag things to them without them knowing that you're that specific antag.
Cons: -Probably wouldn't be much more engaging than a black screen
-might be a mess to code and maintain, might not
-going about your business, suddenly getting zooped to dreamland, waking up 3 minutes later who-knows-where with no idea where your stuff is probably isn't very fun
Bless me with your discussion

VR #2 because VR nor the actual game is fun enough

Re: Idea: unconscious people go to Dreamland
Being asleep should allow you to enter a FPS (or third person) where you get to fight other sleeping people .
The window of vision in general sucks, but it also sucks to not be able to see anything. You either stare at your computer bored as fuck or click out of the tab. Sacrificing realism and fairness for enjoyment i guess

replace sleeping with a minigame of pong with the difficulty scaling down the longer you're asleep.

I did exactly this on a downstream a while back and it ended up being removed because the hyper power-shitters couldn’t see what was happening to them
