Time lock reminds me of a system on other servers to gate higher-responsibility jobs from being grabbed by people that won't know how to play said jobs, e.g. needing to play medical positions for X hours before you can play MD or needing to play engineering jobs for X hours before you can play CE, etc. 13 rounds is good in theory, but what counts as a "round" in this context? If someone joins in then goes to cryo after 15 minutes, does that still count as a round?
If this is actually in consideration, I think a good solution would be to make sec locked behind something like 10 hours total play time. That's still less time than having to spend 13 shifts on Goon 1 or Goon 3, and might even be longer than 13 shifts of Goon 2, but isn't so long that it gives the impression that security is serious business, newbs need not apply. I believe that a beginner security role would just subject players to being antagonized by staffies and actual antagonists while not having many tools to really defend themselves besides cry to
real sec , or carrying the trusty toolbox all the time. I really, really didn't care for the "cadet" role on Fulp for similar reasons.
