Emagged cloner - Motherfucker - 07-09-2013
Emagging the cloner should sabotage its cloning abilities making everything that crawls out of it a horribly mutated shadow of their former self (including the traitor if they somehow get recloned)
This should be pretty obvious (sparks and stuff emitting from the cloning tube or the reclaimer shooting gibs back into the genetics office or something)
Perhaps if you emag it with a gold emag it should turn into the dreaded cluwner.

So if i order a paint crate and paint my emag golden i can turn people in to cluwnes? hah, no...
incredibly easy to do and would be completely run into the ground.
on the other hand emagging the cloning console should fuck people up considerably

What i am about to say is a horribly shitty idea, but made me laugh a bit.
Emagged cloners should grab some other random dead persons mind when cloning a body.

Actually this is a fantastic idea.

this idea is better. Do this. TIA

That's honestly a pretty good idea, but the assassination objectives should still succeed if your victim is cloned with someone else's ghost in the body.

You should be told if it happens though. I don't know how that would make sense but I think a traitor hunting down every clone to try and find the one carrying his target's consciousness would be pretty cool.

there are multiple traitors, so it wouldn't necessarily be your fault. i'm pretty sure assassination is tied to mind though so it wouldn't fuck up if a different player's mind was put into an assassinated player's body

I guess it's still politically expedient if you happen to kill the target and their mind is swapped out for some incompetent greyshirt so you still count as winning??
Same as if your target is borged. (does borging your target count as winning?)
Re: Emagged cloner - Motherfucker - 07-10-2013
Perhaps sabotaging different parts of the cloner could do different things?
Emagging the reclaimer should cause it to regurgitate biomass regularly and leave clones starving unless the geneticist is willing to keep the supply of monkies and greyshirts constant
Emagging the tube could lead to the internal injectors injecting mutagen alongside.
Emagging the console could cause hillarious freaky friday bodyswapping
