I'm still curious as to why this thread exists.
I've only read the first few posts but i think i get the gist of the point of this thread and I personally don't like it. I don't want security to be a faceless group of competent and uninteresting assholes. My theory has always been that what doesn't get you banned is ok in my books. There are a few golden rules that a sec officer should goddamn follow:
(1) Don't beat/execute and/or strip prisoners who aren't confirmed changelings, vampires or traitors.
(2) Set reasonable brig times
(3) Don't let prisoners die in your care.
Those are the only things security should care about. There shouldn't be anything else defining what the fuck they should do. You guys are on a slippery slope, turning security into some sort of fucking baystation bullshit. You're still really far from that but I definitely see where it's going.
Asides from the points i laid out above, it's a security officer's prerogative to do as he/she pleases. For example, they should choose whether or not they want to give someone shackles. are you guys seriously fucking arguing about that?
A security can be play to win if he wants. You're a fucking traitor/vampire/changeling/wizard/spy. It's your prerogative AND your duty to be prepared for whatever maelstrom of fucked that might come your way. If i'm any form of antagonist, I'm always prepared with emergency gear or made sure that I am advantaged in every way so as to ensure my relative safety. Instead of complaining about how sec was P2W, kill them. I have never had difficulty in killing security officers. The detective, yes, because detectives are always assholes.
As for being good security, people shouldn't be told outright what they should be doing besides from the points listed above/the rules. They need to learn by first being terrible. Different sec officers with different styles are more interesting. Hey, have your baton out? well too fucking bad. This game is partly about taking advantage of situations and profiting from them. The only person who's responsible for security other than themselves is the HoS. That's why we have an application for that job. So no one else has to deal with it like we are in this thread.
But that's my 2 cents.
