SkyratBot 714fa83774 [MIRROR] Replace adding threat (the traitor objective, post-revs victory) with unfavorable situations [MDB IGNORE] (#14399)
* Replace adding threat (the traitor objective, post-revs victory) with unfavorable situations (#67538)

Hacking the command console and winning revs no longer adds midround threat. Instead, it'll force a heavy ruleset to spawn, and barring that, will spawn a dangerous random event.

Not really tested, you know how it is with stuff like this.

This change will slightly decrease the total number of midrounds in the round.
Why It's Good For The Game

Before D2022P1, midround threat effectively did not work. Adding midround threat did not guarantee anything would actually happen, whether that be the "obsessed spawn and doesn't do anything" kind of nothing happens, or the "absolutely no ruleset spawns" literally kind of nothing happens.

Sometimes, though, it might have! This PR makes that a guarantee.

After D2022P1, midround threat works and is also extremely dangerous in the quantities that are being added. 15 threat means 2-3 extra midround antagonists are spawned, and this late into the round are often going to force heavy rulesets anyway, but at a disproportionate cost.

Furthermore, adding midround threat decreases the time it takes for the next midround, as midround rolls are rolled equidistantly from one another. It is possible, for instance, for a midround ruleset to run, and then another to run seconds later as the distance changes.

This keeps things direct--the crew gets a disadvantage, but is not completely overwhelmed by several antagonists disproportionately.
