Seems like a bit of an oxymoron to me when apparently some people like extremely small non-game games but the actual issue is that there are often less than 8 people on each server at the times I'm discussing, so clearly not many people or we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
I'd love it it that meant more runs at cool shit like the Solarium but the reality is I've only ever seen one very half-hearted attempt on the 'Late Shift in the last couple of months'. Really, 95% of games are just a changeling/vampire/robust traitor stalking from department to department knocking off the solitary Rube Goldberg Machine builders in each and getting even more unstoppable.
I totally agree that the Sec thing is a big deal on these small shifts but really the issue is compounded tenfold when there are so few people playing, the actual game just doesn't really work when Antags just have total free reign and even if they're IDed or whatever they don't care because there could very well be no one able to stop them even if they wanted to. It just leads to extremely sloppy Antags who just murder in the middle of the bar or right outside medbay with no concern someone might come along. I don't want to sound hyperbolic but it can really fell like a Deathmatch mode eventually.
