I think it might be helpful if there were more ways of subduing someone non-lethally. The most we got is putting someone in a choke hold and keeping them unconscious until you can get them into a locker or something.
Yeah. I had a traitor round recently where a scientist was just lubing the floors and trying to stuff people into lockers, for no particular reason. I beat them off, and they kept following me, and eventually I waved an e-bow at them. After that point they just made it their mission to take me out, despite me not really doing anything to them or the station at large. They almost ruined the gimmick I did later where I sleep darted someone in the horse mask while wearing safari gear (I was going to sell the Horse Beast to the British Museum and gain fame)
I kinda think, that I ended up playing into their hand with that. That they were just harassing people until they got someone that would use their traitor gear to fight back. That kind of valid fishing is shitty, and I think is why people will just rampage when any other kind of activity leads to getting stomped people that just want to kill you and get free traitor gear.

This kind of behavior makes it tough on admins to judge whether a vigilante is being legit or shit. This type of behavior triggers general hate toward all vigilantes, when honestly we need players willing to fight back against confirmed antags that have an established character history of general malice or destruction.
