Longer RP Shift Times
#5
I get it, and I wrote a big thing before deciding a small thing covered what I personally feel better: RP in some places really shines from length and depth, and I played a lot of MUDs where 2-3 hour sessions could be amazing. They were also in games built around the idea of a constant universe with multiple methods to both let people do different things while RPing, or just plain duck out and come back as their schedule permits. Goonstation rounds generally (of course life comes first) begin to narrow in job flow and project scope as time goes on. and generally expect you to stick around for the entire round (again, assuming you've not got something else to do, don't get stuck here, but what I mean is that the game is less prepared than say, a MMORPG where outside of an instanced dungeon you can shoot off at any time without any station burden, note that instances themselves tend to be time-limited too)

So aside from "people are old, people have kids, people do the things that makes extending things too far questionable" just bear in mind I think extending things much further might also merit considering how we make the flow better. Kotlol raises a good example of how you improve antagonism flow. Not saying we can't, just something to keep in mind.
