Janitor objectives idea

Post by bingusdingus » #780867

Off Topic
Good news! NT is now hiring for their Elite Janitor ERT and anyone in a Janitor position aboard NT stations are eligible for promotion! To asses the potential of each candidate, we have introduced a new and exciting way to add to your janitor duties, and allows us to see if you have what it takes to clean up our most stubborn messes! Upon the start of each shift, we will administer optional objectives for you to complete that will award points and/or monetary compensation to be spent on fun new tools!
Jokes aside. I've been brainstorming ideas to make Service more appealing and help solve the Assistant question. I had an idea to give some long term goals for janitors on the off chance you get a boring round where there isn't much to clean, or so you can feel like there's actually a reason to use that second janitor slot. I figured having some side objective and the ability to make some money or maybe unlock exclusive equipment that makes the job easier or more fun. Maybe also have leaderboards? The objectives would get you to go places, explore the station, and interact with the crew. Here are some of the ideas of some of the objectives you may get.
  • Clean every toilet on the station: This would get you to look around and get to know each map, find the bathrooms and forces you to visit departments
  • Wash the station windows: Random windows around the station will be dirty, go clean them so they can be seen through
  • Sanitize disposals: Everybody dumping their shit down disposals has made the chutes disgusting, put special disposals cleaning soap down the chutes to flush out the junk
  • Install Eco bulbs: NT is trying to save money by going green, replace the bulbs in the lights with new energy saving ones
  • Clean the Clown: The Clown is a stinky stinky boy, he must be cleaned

There could be more those are just some I came up with as a proof of concept.

In my opinion Janitor has always been a lot of fun (one of the most fun roles, period) and doesn't really need this, you find ways to have fun in side venues as this job anyways

I think the best way to improve the job is to give it more things it CAN deal with (more excuses to go to different parts of the station/break into sec), with enough detail to not just be blood again but without overwhelming people/being accessible.
Some of these fit that idea pretty well, I don't think they need to be backed by a bounty system since it's basically just more job content in the vein of what jannies already do, right. Ecobulbs would fit payment tho that'd work.
My ancestors are smiling at me, Imperials. Can you say the same?
