Sounds like a recipe for a round that effectively has no antagonist and breeding grounds for griefing in the Flock's defense. "That person attacked the flock, beat them up."
On main I couldn't agree more with this statement. On RP however I couldn't disagree more. Some of the best rounds I have seen have come from non standard approaches to playing the "bad guy", and sometimes it leads to a boring round. Conversely so do rounds where the antags are all caught and dealt with in the first 20 minutes.
As for the issue of flock mind communication, there are a couple avenues that could be worth exploring. Possibly PDA messages or maybe mimes understand them inherently because they too are beings with an alien mindset.
