I think, in general, gimmicks should allow non participation, and if they don't allow non participation by their nature you should provide alternate things to do.
I was the roboticist in a round where an admin repeatedly set all wrenches on fire, meaning my job was entirely useless. You can't activate a cyborg without a wrench. I now had 60 minutes to kill with literally no direction, and if I wanted that I'd have joined as an assistant.
When I complained on the radio that this gimmick was preventing me from doing my job and wasn't even that funny to begin with, I was filled with spiders that nearly killed me because I was already pretty heavily damaged when they were injected.
I couldn't not participate in the gimmick, which might have been ok, but there was literally no direction given to provide alternate things for me to do.
