Yeah, thanks for the reasonable response, while the solution at first seems rather simple people quickly pointed out some of the problems with it. I figured even so that the suggestion was worth putting up because maybe someone will have a better idea.
Argurably the current method still bothers me simply because to me prefs are rather important, and I don't like the idea of going against what people enjoy, but it's probably a meaningful sacrifice.
Maybe somebody will have another idea without a major problem, but it's probably too much work.
---------------------------------------------------------
Slightly Related Idea: This discussion reminded me of something, since random event opt-in antags don't respect your prefs anymore, I think the prompt to join into it should tell you what the antag is before hand.
Example: Do you want to be a random event Blob/Wizard/Etc instead of just "antagonist"
I don't think that would change much in the way of meta since even if ghosts don't get the role they'll just observe around and find out who it is anyways, and I feel like people should know what they're getting into.
