I was lookinging through the gimmick job list and had an idea, what if some maps had a garenteed gimmick job sort of like mime and radio host? For example Donut 3 might always have a psycologist available, Maps with a good market might always have a salesman slot, and maps with medbays with their own pharmacies might have a pharmacist, if a map had a information office it might always have a journalist, ect.
what do you think?

Yes I think it's a good way to distinguish and flavor maps

This is actually quite a good idea, I like it! Adding a Mime Den to a couple maps and having guaranteed Mime latejoins might also be a good idea.
And what Frank said, it'd be a fantastic method to give maps their own distinct flavor and character.

How about gimmick jobs with map related races? i.e players on Manta and Oshan have Squid and Frog people job slots available and they spawn off the station in their biomes/dens.
