Genetics: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

[Winklabom]

And today I got stabbed by one who thought I was a monster for borging someone instead of giving the corpse to them.

Dead body ain't got rights, and geneticists are terrible.

That's because being borged is a fate worse than death for most players.

Bitter borgs are dumb, and living people who get mega salty for me doing my job are incredibly bad.

Agreed, but you can't ignore the fact that borging is done on bad traitors/dumb shitters as a punishment.

That just sticks in people's minds and they just associate borging to punishment. I'm sure you'll find that you'll see much fewer people commiting suicide immediately after being cloned than being borged.

Please note that the recent addition of a forceborging device for traitor roboticist kind of reinforces that idea.

Now why is that? As a borg, you don't have a free will and have to obey whatever laws are uploaded. Granted, they can sometimes give you a free pass at horribly sabotaging the station or murdering some dudes BUT there are so many things you just cannot do as a borg.

The only time that you'll see people agree to being borged is when genetics has been blown to ashes.
