Make MindShielded players immune to becoming Sleeper Agents.

[ewokswagger]

About the PR

Made MindShielded players ineligible to be Sleeper Agent.

Why / Balance

Command members are antag immune due to the damage that can be caused by an antag command member. People promoted into command and mindshielded should be immune for the same reasons. This also allows for Captains to point acting heads more comfortably, knowing that they will not become a sleeper agent.

Counterpoint: you can be a syndie before you get promoted into command, there's no way to tell if you are a syndie (unless you have a skill issue), and installing a mindshield into a syndie does not stop them from being a syndie. As such, this doesn't really change anything, because promoted member of command can be a syndie anyways.

i would like to point that refusing to promote someone to the rank of department head position is quite literally bursting the following metaprotection rules that is even on lizard, i don't see the point of captain/hos/command members powergaming by denying promotion to department head because "they can be antagonist" nor see the utility in making mindshield crew enable to become antagonist beside pushing powergaming behavior such as mindshielding the entire crew.

Discord CDN links only last for 24 hours (those are the ex, is, and hm fields). Not permanent enough.

For future reference, the person was quoting rule 4: "Do not metagame, obey the Metashield".
