How to ruin an antagonists round: the basics

[Crumplehat]

I seem to remember Cogworks trying to push a campaign to get people to not be boring antags/civvies by coming up with silly gimmicks as traitors and by not murdering traitors right off the bat as civilians, even going so far as to maybe try going along with their silly gimmick. I'm always afraid to be a silly gimmicky traitor because I worry I'll still get murdered for trying. The only time it seems like it's okay for me to be a traitor is if I'm signed on to help a telesci adventure, because my resources make it easier.

Of course, on the other side, if I'm ever stuck as sec I'm a little wary about giving traitors leeway because when they decide to start killing I know I'll be a prime target. I want to be able to play along with their shenanigans but I don't want to be murdered in a boring way either.
