GoonRP has a very wide range of roleplaying "levels" that varies from player to player, and I think this is a good thing. We have people like Avack who i personally see as very in depth and talkative. Longer sentences, defined characters with a trade mark of authority and order. Then we have players like me, who play primarily a very impulsive clown with barely cohesive sentences and the attention span of a clown main.
Having a server where these wide range of roleplay preferences can interact is fun for me at least. A minimum "level" of effort should still be in place, and for me it would be the same as avacks. Don't respond with problems with a toolbox, instant perma-brig or spacing. Spacing traitors being one of my most hated things to do or happen to me. Especially by non sec/random staffies trying to be heroes.
Another thing to add to that is "Let people do their job instead of you bursting in and doing it for them" The easiest example would be medbay.
Not Good: Random crew mate is injured, hacks the doors and heals himself then leaves when fully healed.
Someone wants robot legs and does self surgery, so on.
Is Good: Yell for medic before reaching Red, lets medics heal major injures, treat minor ones yourself with public medkits, inject ephineprine pens in an emergency.
The main problem that arises here is what if no one is doing the job you need done, or if they don't know how. I haven't formed a full opinion on that myself. Im both for the "Go a head if it really must be done" side and the "Roleplay that it wont happen and that you are stuck cause no one is doing the job oh no" side.
As for admin interactions. I think it's a gigantic plus that admins like azungar is holding events from time to time. I also enjoy that admins on rp1 have been quite open to event ideas from players, via prayer or ahelp. A good thing would be if more players both new and old got into praying and getting some of their ideas realized. Roleplaying a fun traitor is much much easier and effective with minor or major help from admins. Since most traitor gear is focused more on murder, silent murder, mass murder, rather than drama.
I had a talk with azungar about the role of "actors". Admins want to run some event, they can pick players who will roleplay a role given by the admin. It's not a new concept, but it would be neat to see it more. An Actor could get some minor or major insight into what the event is and what they need to do to cause the most drama.
Enough words I am tired.
