Hypervigilant crewmembers

[Maegor]

You're a mechanic, you roll antag, as you beging assembling your teleporter trap of swirling doom, no more than 5 minutes into the round, Nerd Nerdington spots you and immediately raises the alarm. 

I particularly despise teleporter traps, so I report them whener I see them, but you can always bluff your way out or put the swirling doom part somewhere they won't go.

Or maybe not. Maybe he just stalks you for most of the round, follows you back to engineering as you attempt to look normal. The fact is your round is already ruined because this guy is on you like a tick on a hound dog. 

Why don't you set up an ambush and kill him? Or maybe just flee in a pod which is an easy way of fleeing? If he keeps following you, most people won't mind if give him a beating

The very second you do anything he, and the entire crew, and the constantly-tracking all-seeing AI will be on you and your round will go from a carefully planned one to a round spent running all over the Z-levels to get away, most likely being forced to kill everyone you see.

You can easily cut AI cameras, as a frequent AI I usually track whoever is talking on the radio so keeping quiet while doing your shady business may help. And whether the entire crew will be against you is dependent on how obvious you are and how good are you with bluffing. And if your plan didn't account for being discovered it isn't a good one.

Obviously this happened to me recently or I wouldn't be posting about it. At some point in this server's history, this wasn't typical. There was a mindset among general players that antags are meant to do something hilarious and should be given a chance. A select amount of crew and even sec feel this way and won't immediately apprehend antags. However I'm seeing a growing number of players who feel animosity toward antags and actively go after them any chance they can get. And I feel like this is only going to get worse over time. 

Validhunting is really annoying and shitty.

***OPINION ALERT !!!!!!! WEE WOO !11***
It seems to me like the server won't be far away from becoming like the ones that run /tg/ code. Soon antags themselves will have rules imposed on them. Security will have one-shot tasers, and armor that absorbs lasers. I hope i'm wrong.

Did you spill space lube on that slope? Because where does "people valid hunting and making traitor hard" go to "antags need rules and sec gear needs to be buffed".
