I'll start it off with the fact that I don't know if it's more of a general ss13 thread or an ideas & suggestions.
But on the discord it's been clogging up the chat whenever it's brought up and it never gets anywhere productive as the people that think it should be changed remain on their stance and the people against it remain on theirs.
But I'll start it off with I think killswitching runs on a fine line. On classic? It is probably fine, I mean you guys validhunt for fun. On RP there's a specific rule telling you to not kill antags without RP. However a silicon can be freely killed as long as it doesn't have laws which I have a problem with. If a group of silicons don't have laws (They aren't emagged for arguments sake) and one out of the 4 of them kills or severely injures a human, it is apparently fine to killswitch them all.
My major problem with that is you might be RPing with one cyborg before killing all of them, ending 3 silicons without them even doing anything wrong.
I'll also add to it, a lot of arguments against it are that OOC you picked to be a cyborg and that's the terms, I can partially agree with that on the stance "You single silicon did something wrong. I'll kill you with this magical console" Sure, that works. But I feel that statement also more applies to the laws. You, by signing up as a silicon OOC are agreeing to 1. Not harm humans at all. And, to listen to them. However I don't want this thread to go over ALL of the silicons "What's right" "What's wrong" Thing, I just want it to be about the killswitching as people argue about it a bit in the discord then it gets forgotten about (Seeing as in the RP chat there are about 1000 messages or whatever a day, it would be hard to go back to find it in any channel it took place in.)
Finally. There's about a 90% chance I forgot something to add in, so I might add to it later - and try to keep it about killswitching (The RP rule for crew --> antag escalation I say relates to it. But add anything else to the debate for or against it.)
