The Relationship Between Traitors and the HoS

[Sundance]

Seems like security has went from one extreme to another.

They have. And we've learned some valuable lessons along the way. The problem here is that when exiting the so-called "hugbox" that security is right now, that we need to retain why the hell we went from one extreme to another. The reason why we went was because security was a gestapo with an absolute unbending view on antagonists.
We've come also to realize that vigilantism is toxic behavior. Why? Because there's little control as to the damage dished out.

People also need to realize, that alot of security control was lost due to the amount of antagonists increased per round a while ago. This whole "tension" that nitrous is talking about back in the old days, I feel is actually due to the fact that when you spawned as traitor, there was a little less chaos and anything you did stuck out like a sore thumb. That and you'd go down from one shot of a taser.

Personally I think the current map is got to do with some of it. Security is not central, and while the brig is aesthetically lovely, it is an abomination in terms of actual punishment. Something that really grated me when we went to the hugbox that security is now is the abandonment of using the brig because it was deemed not fun, and as a result you got what you have now: A functionally useless brig. I've always held the notion that time out in the brig, while the bad person learns absolutely nothing from it, it gives the entire station some time to recover from the damage that was caused. Fortunately with the new Cogmap, security seems central and the brig seems more functional, so I will bite my tongue.

I don't know. I would like security to have more control over the round going forward. But if that means killing more traitors because of that, then i'll crack sec skulls if I see behavior that is unwarranted, and so help me god if security start murdering captives just because they are valid, then they'll go the same way as the antagonist throat they strangled. I believe in due process, amongst the chaos that ensues, because I believe the concept of the HoS is to rise above the chaos.
