My opinion is to give everyone all the gimmic jobs with a small warning to not abuse it or you will become job-banned. Then if multiple people abuse said job with no sign of stopping;thats when you mentor lock it/Add a seperate application for it.
I understand the ideal that you don't want to give stuff like diplomants to regular players BUT if you are giving all the fun special jobs to mentors it demeans the purpose of being a mentor. A mentors job is to be a volunteer who helps the community while expecting NOTHING in return, No special faviors,jobs,First picks for admin gimmics. If you give them shit it attract shitheads who seem smart/knowledgable and want to help the community but really just want to play as the funny alien diplomat or have a higher chance to become machoman (I am not saying admin play favorites, Just that if your not careful it could seem or even become that way). The only sure-fire way to attract good helpful mentors who get NOTHING in return is to make it clear that YOU WILL GET NOTHING BUT THANK YOU'S FROM THE STAFF/PLAYERBASE FOR YOUR SERVICE
If you want to have a fun seperate application locked fourm. Add a body guard that can spawn after the VIP/during round start(if there is an Vip who also joins) who has a bullet proof jacket,A small pistol, a box of handcuffs and some some fany sunglasses with the goal to portect the VIP at any harm. Once a bodyguard is spawned you can then have one or two hardmode traitors randomly picked from the crew, Call them assasians and give them the objective to kill the VIP.
