An analysis of the biggest problem with goonstation: apathy

[Ed Venture]

Hey I only said what I said cause this was turning into a "whine about rampages" thread and the apathy stuff kinda effects the whole game anyways. I just wanted to make it clear that the treatment security players get most of the time is one of the main reasons why most of the community no longer plays the role anymore and that's why rampages have been so large in numbers for years now. Honestly I don't see a solution to this issue. I mean I can think of one but I don't like it one bit and it could be argue that it's not even a real solution anyways and that's taking away freedom from antags and forcing them to do their objectives. If that happens I'm leaving goonstation forever as the freedom of Goonstation is the reason why I play here. But I doubt that will ever happen though.

It's going to take a huge community shift to get things back to how they were but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Till then I plan to do what I've been doing. Which is playing Security and the Clown roles all the time and trying to get the crew to defend themselves when I am a antag.
