(Unimportant Shpiel Start)
I have been very harsh against lings in the past, I've said a lot of mean things about how they play both AS a ling and against one. I think they're far too "out of the crew's view", too much stealth with a reveal at the end. I think a traitor, whether they're going loud or are being stealthy, should attempt to bring entertainment to the rest of the crew in some way, shape or form.
That being said, I have had ONE changeling round that I still remember fondly, I was the RD and for most of the round was just fucking about, doing my thing, until late into the round when the changeling had amassed 3/4ths of the crew as limbspiders, had raided the armory and while they were hunting the few of us left, we didn't even know which of the few crew left they could be.
More people fell in the dark, not to be seen again. With how powerful the ling was, we were forced to stalk the maintenance tunnels, in fear of discovery, slowly finding makeshift weapons and implements to take them on with, until I had a moment of detective-like genious where I figured out who it was.
The shuttle was on it's way and I made my last stand fairly far away from it, as a distraction. I drank some BJD and brandished my armaments, finally confronting them in person but with an unexpected issue, one of the other survivors had come to help. I was forced to be as robust as my shaky, unskilled hands could be, managing to hold off their assault through quick bullet dodging and actually getting a use out of that one Matrix gene for the only time ever, holding them off long enough to get my comrade to rally the survivors and escape, leaving the changling on the station with me, beaten up from the fight against 3 legs and a ling and in crit. I figured I was fucked at that point and and decided to allow myself to succumb to their grasp with one final plot twist.
I had bought a Macrobomb Implant.
I was a traitor with the sole (tracked) task of dying a glorious death. And that I did.
This is a fond memory for me and is one of my best rounds ever in general, the dead crewmates had gotten to play again as limbs and the ling's use of actions and words made for an INCREDIBLY scary round, lights being smashed, lies being sown, etc.
(Unimportant Shpiel End)
This suggestion reminds me of that round, the way it's geared towards the dead not getting an early eviction notice, sowing fear into players and building suspense. I am 100% in support of some sort of implementation of this idea and haven't really seen any issues with it as is, but I am not good at balancing and would love to see this developed (And hopefully not forgotten).
I'd suggest keeping the same player to their own body, self antagging is an issue but I feel it could be resolved by making the returned unable to use items in-hand or some other such action).
