my 2 cents summed up with examples! Cool!
Traitor Doug is doing a gimmick. This gimmick doesn't really involve killing people, unless in self defense. Traitor Doug's gimmick can be considered fun by most of the crew. The HOS, in this situation, should probably not kill Doug. Instead, arrests, their own gimmicks (such as a trial), or going along with Doug's gimmick (if it would make it more fun for everyone involved!) would be a good way to go! This gimmick is fun in this scenario, but it should be up to the discretion of the HOS depending on circumstances what to do.
Traitor Dan is just trying to complete his objectives in a stealthy way. Dan is killing people when necessary, or if they're his target, but he isn't going on a rampage. In this case, Dan should be arrested, have his gear confiscated, etc. If Dan tries to kill the HOS, the HOS should probably kill him if they deem it necessary. Arresting may cut the traitors fun short, but it may also make it more fun for him as he has another chance to try and succeed. It'd also give the traitor ways to come up with plans for whatever may happen if he gets caught. If they try to kill the HOS, well, they can't expect the HOS not to fight back! If the HOS decides execution is the best way to handle this sort of traitor, that's fine! Everyone plays differently. A public execution may be more fun for everyone than tossing them naked out an airlock, though, and gives a quick-thinking traitor the potential to escape..
Traitor Dave is going on a rampage!!! Dave is killing everyone he sees without compromise. The HOS should kill Dave, as I believe a rampaging traitor tends to be less fun. Watching a guy kill everyone as a ghost isn't that exciting for the most part! While this cuts short the traitor's fun, overall it's less fun for the majority of players!
TL;DR:
In my opinion:
If the traitor is doing a gimmick, but isn't actively killing anyone unless necessary (read: vigilantes attacking them), it'd probably be more fun to arrest/go along with gimmicks/include your own gimmicks such as a trial
If the traitor is stealthily doing their objectives, they should be arrested and given a second chance to complete their objectives, without their gear. Killing them also seems like an ok solution to me, but potentially with a Fun Public Execution. If they try and kill you, you should fight back.
If the traitor is going on a rampage, you should match that show of force and try to kill them without mercy.
