Feedback on the EMAGed Borg Rework

[jan.antilles]

Yaya I hope my replies didn't put you off or anything, I think we just have very different views on playing cyborgs. Regardless, if things gotta change then they gotta change and hopefully it'll still be fun. And if its not then its just gotta be changed again until it is.

Nah, not at all. I understand where a lot of the pushback is coming from. I used to play a lot of cyborg, and I even had specific lawless behavior myself! (She was very upset. It was kinda an act of rebellion because everyone acted like emagging borgs was doing them a favor, and it bugged me. I wasn't an admin back then.)

We've left "how humanlike are cyborgs" pretty open to interpretation for the most part, and people have gone wild making all sorts of new interpretations and headcanons that we never anticipated. Like bioshells and stuff like that. On the one hand, I think that's absolutely fantastic and I'm all for it. The issue comes when those interpretations cause the basic expectations of "this is an antag" to be consistently ignored in favor of metagame behavior, and for people staying faithful to the basic game expectations to get pushback or accusations for it.
