Increase the length of the respawn timer to 20-30 minutes on roleplay

[Kotlol]

Slots being filled too quickly causes death not to matter when it comes to how it impacts a round. And that would be a major reason why i would support an increase of the respawn timer.

Kinda have to say it again: "Slots being filled too quickly." Can also happen since that slot is available and a mid joiner takes it.

But let's say this slot stays locked.. the same midjoiner will be a staffy and can get re-assigned as an engineer. Giving Staffies more value.

I find the whole "The role gets filled" argument very weak as: "Another player can do it too."

You can also make a 5 min respawn timer but keep the slot of the person who died at 20 mins. The only thing you changed... is the fact they cannot come back as an engineer but can still be hired as one.

If you want to say: We want antags to possibly win by murdering half the crew and nothing that can be done about it.
I don't think RP is the right server for it.

Killing someone essentially "ENDS" their RP on the spot. In 10 mins they can try again... make it 20 mins.. and no new RP will happen for 20 mins for the player.
That my friends is boring.

Overall I think 10 mins is already fine, 15 is acceptable.
But 20 is just a lot and I only hear: "So the antag's damage is more meaningful"
And it's just dumb. That's like saying: RCD trivializes the Antag building a fortress around the AI Law rack when they subsume it.
The antag is suppose to bring conflict and intrigue in the round and dead players is a consiquence of it yes.. but dead players also have nothing to do.

As someone who doens't use respawns much unless I think it might be fun. I don't think punishing those who respawn much to make death more meaningful or giving antag deaths meaning more is the way to go.

Unless you want dead players to have more ways of getting back in the round and influencing it then just respawning, then it wouldn't matter as much. But as it stands now.. I am solemly against it out of the fact it doesn't create more "FUN" ..it might even detract it.
