Dead People Want More Stuff to do!

[Zamujasa]

That's a bizarre opinion. Someone in the afterlife area is already removed from the main game -- you can't go there while alive, after all. In a lot of cases, those people are not capable of returning to the main game, either because they're observers, their body is destroyed, cloning is gone, any host of reasons. (On RP, you can respawn after 10 minutes, but even then...)

That's the problem i have with it. To clarify, i think the systems should work in a way to bring the player back into the main game, be it midround spawn or maybe player-created possessable objects (kinda like ghost roles on other servers). That's why i am saying long run. I don't think the systems and server rules are there yet to make this vision work.

in that context, i suppose it makes sense. it's just such a large departure from the current culture that i wasn't expecting it. we generally don't give dead players a way back into the round at al, outside of as antag minions for wraiths and such. rp isa n exception by the 10 minute rule.

a tg example would be the positronic brain, which is like our spontaneous intelligence cores but they can be used by any dead player at any time (with a few restrictions); while ours are strictly for late-joining players and completely excluded from dead players (barring again rp's respawn)

even the one we do have, ghostdrones, are looked at relatively unfavorably and regularly subjected to nerfs like the cardboard rcd; they're also completely incapable of communicating with the living outside of constructions and crude art

not saying i disagree with the idea as much as comparing it to our current view on this sort of thing
