Borers (and presumably PAIs) can still be made traitors by admins via the "Create Traitors" button.
Expected:
Borers not to be a member of the syndicate, given they were born today
Actual:
Mission specifications decrypted, welcome to the syndicate.
Have an existing borer (with traitor preference turn on, presumably), click that gimmie syndies button
Had an autotraitored borer in me today, past issues show it happened before dynamic mode became a thing and was fixed (it isn't)
New recruits
I got a random tatoring last week as PAI so that's still possible as well. Sadly the CMO who was my target did not oblige my PDA message requesting him to kill himself so MISSION FAILED
If you were creative you could technically PDA others misinformation to make them kill the CMO for you
We only had about 6 minutes till centcomm since the shuttle'd been called and I spent a few of those chatting with an admin asking if this was a bug or not first. If there'd been more time I probably would have given it a college try, yeah.
Apparently borers being traitors is a feature, according to the trim candidates of the midround ruleset
