having roundstart kill machines seems lame to me. i should have prefaced the first post with that. if you want to roundstart borg, i think you should expect to follow some laws. the tradeoff for being subverted from the beginning would be that you can't just go crazy and beat peoples' heads in with your shiny new body, and you can't have your laws updated through the upload. someone could still free you entirely with an e-mag. i'm otherwise opposed to the entire idea; feel free to ignore me completely.
Like someone said, there's nothing stopping a generic traitor from spawning a c-saber or shotgun box and running rampant in the first minutes of a round.
Borgs would arguably have it harder because round-start borgs are laughably weak and blow apart from one or two lasers, or just a few whacks with a fire extinguisher.
i wasn't really saying that any objective was bad, just that forcing them onto some stupid "do something minorly dumb" gimmick and jobbanning them for not doing it is lame. The Syndibot "Follow Syndicate operative orders, keep secrecy, don't harm operatives" ones are perfectly fine.
