The slow deterioration of round length

[bandit]

Bottom post of the previous page:

As many people are aware, round lengths have been drifting shorter and shorter and shorter, to the point where it is now commonplace for people to bitch that the round is still ongoing when it hasn't even been 30 minutes. Despite the fact that there is a RIDICULOUS amount of ghost roles, some of which are arguably even more fun than available station roles.

Code changes haven't been sufficient to stop this. So what we need is a policy change. Namely: I think admins should start enforcing the "you must provide a reasonable excuse to call the shuttle." As in, you must actually make an attempt to fix shit before doing so, similar to the rules about early launches. Honestly, it's a shame things have even gotten to this point to begin with, but the idea of people actually trying to do their jobs seems to have totally fallen by the wayside.

i think that centcom should be able to deny an escape shuttle

they can already do this it's just that they don't wanna deal with negative backlash from players

BUT WE'RE BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORED

That's not the case. Admins constantly disable Mulligan from firing, almost 100% of the time. They want minirounds as much as anyone.
