People know for a fact that I rampage frequently when I get a traitor role. The thing is, though, after I had done what some posters here have called "boring rampages" for long enough, I became inured to the idea of concealing my actions. It felt good for a second but largely the station went on as if nothing had happened. There was no chaos, very little indication that I had truly been an antagonist to anyone.
So I just stopped giving a shit about subtlety. I think I've had more fun this way in every single traitor round. No radio jammers, no quiet murder, just loud and bloody and fiery and chaotic messes everywhere I go.
And that meant people SAW it and they are more likely to do something about it. I leave a lot of witnesses, I leave a lot of evidence, I am distressingly easy to track and deal with. Even as a changeling, I often eat people in the middle of the hallway and scream "YOU SEE NOTHING" if someone stumbles across me.
Rampages aren't bad by their nature, but if you are gonna do it, I feel you should either go BIG or find small impulsive ways to antagonize people and let it build up to murder from there.
I don't think it's a good idea to go 'NO RAMPAGES ARE HITLER, BAN RAMPAGERS' I think it's a good idea to go 'hey, maybe give the people a calling card or do something more flashy next time' so that it feeds more into the game's chaos engine appeal and removes the problem of silent stealth rampagers stealthily dismantling all fun they find.
