RP, chaos and antag density

[Cal]

As a classic player, I dont see any of these issues happening on classic.

This thread is about RP.

its rare for medbay to go above and beyond and most antags are never friendly and just nuckle down and do their antag role.

Antags are friendly ALL THE TIME on Classic.

I have a feeling that the main reason antags dont do much is because they are scared of not escalating enough.

It's as easy as saying "I'm going to kill you!" and then you attack them if you please.

people prepare for 50 minutes? shuttle is often called at 45-50 minutes on 75% of rounds. most antags only take 10-15 minutes to prepare

This is a feature of RP. The rounds are long and mostly free of chaos. This is on purpose. An antagonist can easily cause chaos if they like.



All of these things you listed are normal for RP. Why would Botany for example be dealing with an antagonist? If they need to defend themselves of course they have chainsaws, but Security dealing with antagonists is... normal. You'd call Security for an issue like someone attacking you.

We HAD more antags on RP, the rounds were busy and people weren't able to RP. We don't want RP to be classic-lite. We want people to actually be able to relax and do a small story.

All of this imo simply chalks up to playstyle. People on RP want to roleplay, so they set things up. It happens.
