So a couple of times on Goon1 I've played HoS or Security and I've felt like I had nothing to do for the whole game in terms of actual policing. Especially when the round is extended. Sure I can make up some events and stuff to do, but it feels boring when I have very little to do in my assigned job. Having said that, I feel like dealing with antags as security on goon1 is much more fun than on goon2 .
But because of the slightly more serious nature of the RP server, people don't usually commit petty crimes or annoy others when they aren't antagonists. I feel that RP in general should allow people to commit minor-major crimes, but stop short of doing things to endanger the station or multiple people (unless they were really good at RP). People should be able to steal, physically assault others, or even attempt to murder/take hostage a crew member if they have been sufficiently RPed into that situation.
I I'm not trying to encourage a new surge of crime since a station full of criminal is might not be that fun, but the fact that RP allows for more interesting dialogues than on Goon2, means that more interesting plot can be developed from it. And sometimes that plot can form into criminality. But I think people are too afraid to do anything criminal even given sufficient motive by RP circumstances in a round.
