But again we are not talking about bringing classic antags to current RP rules. It wouldn't work this way. Nukies are the best exemple. Whenever an admin make a RP nukie round happen it generaly goes two ways: Either the nukies go for a silly gimmick like arriving in pizza boxes and its hilarious. Or they go for the "lets talk it out" plan and its the most awkward thing ever. Because what are the talks gonna end up in ? The nukies aren't going to not plant the bomb. Also most of the "negotations" tend to only involve the captain + security while the rest of the crew is not even sure what is happening or what they should do.
The point of a middle ground server would be to loosen the RP rules to allow for theses antags. And adjustments can be made here and there. Less frequency of round end mode antags while still allowing for them to happen from time to time without admin intervention. Or turning some of them into late join/sleeper roll antags. Surprise its been 45 minutes and you are now a rev leader or a couple of blobs spawn, etc...
And would players interested in that sort middle ground experience even complain about having a quick 20 minutes blob/nukie/rev round from time to time in beetween full lenght rounds where the antags are doing gimmicks that 90% of the station is going to miss ? I'd like to think not. The current RP server seem to like the rare admin nukie rounds, as awkward as they tend to be.
Then again Classic with the "please do a bare minimum of RP and don't be a boring powergamer" rules enforced could be kinda like that. But it seems it wouldn't be "classic" anymore for some.
