If you mean standard as in normal, then that's because terrible is the new normal.
If you mean standard as in sensible, you're terrible.

Many of these sound like there were good reasons to call the shuttle, which were simply described in a silly way.

cult is really gay and stuff.

OOC: Lumipharon: anon clock cult is a piece of shit. I will call asap every round it's on.

This stupid prize goes to Lumi Phaeron, who called the shuttle with this reason at the 20 minute mark (which is the absolute earliest you can call the shuttle under normal circumstances) and told the Head of Security to prevent a recall.

A shuttle call because antagonists existed.

The shuttle is fundamentally broken, and being a fundamental part of the game, it has fundamentally broken SS13 along with it. It is a weapon, the Primary Antagonist of Every Round, used by the secondary antagonists of most rounds to stop people from playing the game as much, stop them from seeing endgame content.

Have we considered...

...fixed-length rounds?
...making the earliest point the shuttle can be called later?
...making it so that antagonists don't know that they're antagonists until a few minutes into the round?
...having admins dunk people for shitty shuttle call reasons, which is the point of needing to have a reason in the first place?
...actively encouraging people to stick around for distribution of endgame content?
...making some sort of non-emergency shuttle which gives the crew bonus points if it's used, but comes waaaaaay slower?
...manually expunging the shuttlerushing cancer with bans?

Having played it from both ends, I'm wondering if the negative reactions to it are just examples of weaponised autism in the same category as the people who spam "REEEEEEEEEEEEE" and "SUICIDE HOPLINE" whenever we try a map that isn't the core three.

Fuck long-round culture and fuck goon.

also i agree we need more rp but more rp =/= longer rounds
