TWEAK: Remove Mass Mind Swap on Sage #2110

Closed imw-Oculus closed 2 years ago

imw-Oculus commented 4 years ago

Mass Mind Swap - IE, changing a large number of people from one character to another, is not conducive to RP. It eliminates all character and in-game progress from the round, encourage people to either act poorly, or to not act at all. I would recommend that this feature be removed from Sage - which is ostensibly the more RP-oriented of the two BeeStation servers. The goal of roleplaying is to establish a character. While this is possible while taking the body of an entirely different character, it is less than optimal. I'm mostly making this issue to field thoughts in the comments. Spitting at the wall, and seeing what sticks.

Apparently not, since it happened last round. Probably happened under the Wizard.

EDIT: I defiantly believe it was removed as a regular event, I argue it should be remove entirely from Sage.

This issue has been inactive for long enough to be automatically marked as stale. If this was a bug report and hasn't been addressed yet, and is still a probelm, please don't hesitate to notify a maintainer.

I'll be real, I think this actually can add to RP. I don't really see it as an automatic loss to roleplay.
