yuh. I agree with both of you. There are rounds on main where sec is utter dogshit; but there are also rounds where sec is extremely good.
Its all situational but the mindset of sec is bad, is also bad.
Ill bring up a question, What is the goal of a security officer in a round?
Is it to kill all antagonists, as some people think? No, Its not, Thats no fun for everyone as it leads to long and boring rounds.
Is it to deal with shitters? Kind of, Thats more of on the right track, but its more then that.
The issue is people take antag status into account. Sec shouldnt take antag status into account at ALL. Securitys job should be to play mallcop, you deal with people based on what they have done, not if theyre a vampire, or whatnot.
Hell, id even go as far as to say securities job is to die a glorious death. Sometimes.
The biggest issue is that some people see the job as to; MAINTAIN POWER AT ALL COSTS. And thats the easiest way to see it. We get lots of new players, who see security as that; or worse, so they can RP as dictators of sorts who allow no fun. This leaves the impression on others that security are tyrants, always. We saw alot of this last year with people meta-grudging HOS players.
There are however, lots of ways to play security. Some of these are bad, some are good, and while one playstyle may be fun one round, it might not a different, depending whose online.
Vik, to put it bluntly, I think your being too aggressive toward Cal. However I do agree with some of your points. Sec isnt always good, but I also feel like these officers who are bad get weeded out pretty quickly. If not, You can speed up the process by ahelping the situations.
