I love extended rounds! Though I understand they can be annoying, especially when they come one after another, but I've put together a little list of things you could do if you suspect a round may be extended and you and your fellow spacepeople are bored.
1. Start a prank war.
This is by far my favourite, and has brought many smiles to faces. My most memorable prank war was when Asena (who was captain) and I, Kira, a staff assistant, became dedicated to the idea that Alex Wilo (HoS) should have pink scales. We set up a very complicated and intricate plan to trick him, and then we ended it with a villian-style monologue about hair dye
2. Make use of station facilities that are a little unloved
I've seen many HoSii force their sec teams into making use of areas such as the gym, pool, diner and owlery. Structured wrestling tournaments or hiring the chef and bartender to cater for your pool parties, ignore skin cancer regulations and see who can get the best tan, make a surprise
party in the owlery for the AI, making a campfire in the owlery, dimming all the lights and telling ghost stories while you lay ontop of bedsheets
with a small stack of chips.
3. Improve (or destroy) departmental relations
Engine all set up, and there's no crimers for sec? Make a game of hide and seek, sardines, or tag. Set the teams by department, and make everyone wear the departmental colour. Have a stupid prize to raise the stakes. Play capture-the-flag with your department coffee machines, and use the creamer bottles as the flags.
4. Set up something in the chapel.
Lean into classic chapel shit, like marry two monkeys, someone dramatically dies using the *deathgasp emote and give them an over the top funeral. Make a masquearde ball but set weird requirements, like you must dance with an object on the station.
5. Indulge in some very light crime.
Set up a bonds-style heist of something in another department, or a beloning of a coworker. Steal their lunch. Take the sugar cubes. Steal the department's cleaning-mop-buckcet-robot-thing. Hold it ransom for a donut and a coffee.
6. Host a slumber party in the bridge
Invite the crew in, turn down the lights, get all the best bedsheets. Hire the bartender to make some hot chocolate and the chef to back cookies. Ask the AI to play the bee movie. Scream whenever someone talks when its eepy time.
All of these can extend to be most of the shift, leave room for shenanigans, and can help encourage antags to join in and maybe get a little brave and do some certified cool escalation.
