Sorry if this is disjointed or anything - Michi's at a con, so I can't get her views on this yet. Is it okay if I clarify/ask about a few things?
I don't really see why the plot taking the form of a personality change would make characters any more or less accountable for their morality-swapped actions. To use an example - say Evil!Vriska stabs someone. Whether it's a clone or a personality swap, the victim would be under the impression that Vriska did it. When everybody realises that the teleporters are fucking up yet again, that impression would be lessened or removed. So I'm not really seeing the difference, especially since IC consequences for twins would be far more severe (I assume that if we take the clone route, the clones would be aware of their non-respawning status and therefore act with much more caution than they would otherwise).
As for the potential chaos: the thing that originally prompted the idea for this plot was a_facility doing a similar one last year (that being the game that Michi's CRAU Terezi comes from, herp). They're a bigger game than Sing is and they handled it just fine! When Michi gets back, I could maybe ask her for some links if that'd help to assuage any "oh christ this is going to be the hugest clusterfuck"-fears?
Sorry to be so much trouble. If this still absolutely can't happen, I'll talk to Michi about it when she gets back. 8C
