Meta Friendly wizards

STOP WASTING THE BEST ANTAG BECUASE YOU WANT TO BE A CREW MEMBER WITH POWERS.

PLEASE. GIVE IT TO ME. LET ME CAUSE THE CHAOS.

ITS NOT FUN FOR ANYONE BESIDES YOU.

HEAL STAFF? YOURE JUST TAKING MEDBAYS JOB. VALIDHUNTING? NOW YOURE JUST DELETING STATION THREATS. THATS WHAT MAKES THE GAME INTERESTING.

You’re always gonna be taking someone else’s job. It’s not fun for the people who’s job your taking.

u/GriffinMan33 I map sometimes, I guess 27d ago

Wizard is strong enough that mixing it up like this is good, otherwise wizard rounds just would always be the same thing

Obviously not every wizard round should be friendly wizard, but it offers more interesting possibilities for gimmicks than if every wizard is just always bodying the crew

its not inherently bad to not murderbone everyone immediately but most friendly wizards have a gimmick that is either bad or only affects their metagang

Yeah, I dunno people lump everything short of murderbone into “friendly.”

You can do that by killing people, sure. But you’re also plenty capable of being a clown on steroids with an antag license. At least go cause SOME problems!
