Opt out of the hivemind.

[Arborinus]

I don't like to play any antagonist roles, and when I die I like to float around for a couple minutes before closing the game and doing something else. Being forced to either be an antagonist or observe only one dude sucks. At least with mindslaves you are usually free to be your own person. I know you can do a lot as a handspider (flying pods or knocking out and beating people to death with 3 punches) but still.

With the hivemind change I always just close the game as soon as I see I'm being absorbed, and I am guilty of tipping fedoras or farting on bibles when I see my screen start to blur just so I can actually be a ghost.
