"Lol sec I'mma work with you and hunt down the other traitors with my sunglasses."
Couldn't both those things just be made bannable and they'd work themselves out
Actually, as far as i know, point 2) was a really shit thing to do and depending on the admin you probably end up cluwned or tempbanned as it's borderline meta.
1) is fair game.
Honestly traitors killing other traitors is good for a multiple reasons. First reason is that it dramatically reduces the burden a traitor would have on security and the rest of the crew. One less traitor security would have to worry about (I'm using the word worry lightly), but also traitors buddying up traitors would lead to security being absolutely slaughtered (don't forget the traitor count has been upped)
Second reason is the whole FUN of being a traitor is that paranoia, that anything that could fuck you up. You're more paranoid than the average crewmember, you not only have security, but other traitors/antagonists, any angry crewmember with a vigilante streak and the AI who'd rat you out under an order. Being a traitor is fun because you're at the bottom of the food chain working up.
Even if the sunglasses thingy was re-implemented, then it wouldn't solve your dilemma at all, traitors would still murder other traitors. Although I agree there should be some sort of less obvious way like the other posters have stated. Have a code system would be neat but because it's bay it probably won't be implemented. I do like the agent card idea, but I think it should work WITHOUT sunglasses to other traitors. Basically it's like a subtle device for robbing ID's and avoiding the ai tracking you, but it would flash a big red T to other traitors. What other traitors do, is entirely up to them, as always.
