I think there has been this desire for a middle ground server with all classic antags enabled and bare minimum RP rules to mitigate some of the least fun behaviors that can happen on classic for a long time now. Its not the first time the idea is discussed.
The crux of the discussion is that some antags are incompatible with RP which I never fully agreed with. Sure you can't really talk with a blob or flockmind, but theses antags still creates situations to enable roleplay with your fellow crewmates. Another reason is that theses classic modes tend to create very short rounds, which I also don't see as a bad thing as long as they don't happen too often. They can be a breath of fresh air beetween long drawn out round where only security get any meaningfull interaction with antags sometimes.
I want to believe that a significant population of the current 3 crowd would enjoy the classic experience if you moslty added the stay in your lane/play as if you want to keep your job rule. Thats it. Maybe the no silent murder thing too but I'm not even sure about that one. Having some form of baseline roleplay boundary within the crew is what classic lacked the most for me, last time I played there.
