I'll just quickly elaborate why I don't play sec, since it's relevant.
When I played sec for about a week, this was impression I got: It's hard and unfun. Basically, a lot of work and no reward. I've gone back a few times and tend to regret it.
It's cause its such a pain in the ass to actually find and/or effectively deal with antagonists, and then there's the fear of accidentally interpreting the victim of the crime as guilty and then dealing with that fallout.. Fumbling around with misdemeanor crimes takes a minimum of 10 minutes for a million different reasons which just gives no reason to give them out to anyone but people who are genuinely assholes in normal functioning, and those are the kind of people who are a nightmare to deal with as sec. Then, there's the lull times in between conflicts, and the lull at the start, where it can take upwards of 30 minutes before there's anything you can respond to.
I contemplate playing it every now and then, and even try it, but then I get sick of it after a few bouts with it. I also have my jobs system set where all the jobs I want to play are on medium and so few people play sec that setting it to medium means that I'll end up playing it every round until I'm burnt out and set it back to low priority.
