A couple evenings ago I was traitor and ended up in a room with both the other traitors right at round start. We all bought mindslave implants not realizing the situation. A first traitor mindslaved me, then the next traitor ran in and I mindslaved him as he mindslaved the first guy, creating a recursive mindslave loop.
How are you supposed to RP this? We decided to just team up and mess with people, then end the round once people started dying.

So let me logically think this out. 1st guy is A, you're B, and the other dude is C
B follows A's orders.
C follows B's orders.
A follows C's orders.
So logically, B (you) don't have to follow C's (the last guy) orders.
BUT
You are a mindslave, if A tells you to act like a cat, or if he tells you to await further instructions from an inanimate green bush, then you must do it. If A tells you to follow C's orders, then you must do it. The only thing I would be iffy about, is if someone mindslaves you and orders to kill yourself. This is a seriously poor and meta use of it, but thankfully I haven't seen people do this very often anymore.
So yeah tl;dr: You've pretty much followed the correct way to go about it, just remember when things hit the fan, follow your masters orders.

Three telecrystals just to get someone to kill themselves is pretty boring. Do like I do. Make 11x11 bombs and order them to go somewhere populated and blow it up.

Yeah I MAY be partially at fault for creating this loop, but it was still fun as hell.
Also yeah I think you should just team up at that point. if you just try ordering people around, anyone half as smart would just loop it back an- well you get the picture.

Well one time I was a spy and used my implanter on someone and then it turns out they were a spy and used theirs on me and said, "There now we are partners." That is against the rules but I didn't really care at the time. Not sure if that has much to do with this RP shit but there you go.

That is a really shitty thing to do. Almost as shitty as straight up asking your mindslave to remove the implant.
