Longer Rounds?

[Roomba]

Hey, I don't speak for the admins by any means, but from what I'd seen, didn't they say they wanted to have longer rounds because some things and neat gimmicks required a longer time to set up, and punishing players who don't want to just take an easy rampage by calling the shuttle because you're bored is lame or somethin'?

That might be the meta reasoning for it, but the in-game explanation generally given is 'unless the station is absolutely uninhabitable via bombing/meteors/blob or a vast majority of the station is dead, don't call the shuttle' when nothing in the rules really suggests that, and so you get people/deadchat silently sitting around and praying for a rampage/mass station destruction so that there's actually some justification for the shuttle to be called. I'm of the opinion that democratic vote is generally a good enough justification for a shuttle call.
