What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Short and sweet, I think the community could benefit from an xp and/or in-game money reward for playing roles that players have requested be flagged. For example, if GSD were flagged in the early AM hours, anyone playing or who switched to GSD, and remained GSD for the next hour, would receive like 750xp for filling a wanted role. Then, perhaps, we'd have less situations where we have 5-6 D-Class, 2-3 Researchers, a half dozen MTF, and yet nothing's really happening because there isn't enough GSD to pull D-Class for testing.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Unsure, admittedly.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
*Higher engagement with sorely needed roles, especially during low-pop hours.
*Greater amounts of activity with certain less-beloved, but certainly necessary roles.
*A viable way for SCP players to gain actually decent amounts of Xp.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
*Possibility of abuse is always a factor with any kind of reward system. AFK xp farming, etc.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
As mentioned above, a proper spread of roles in the early AM hours would likely mean more interactions, drive more roleplay, and generally just provide people a better experience by virtue of being able to actually do their jobs, not lurk around D-Block, hoping and praying for the rare alignment of the planets where you actually have 4 GSD in D-Block at 7:30am, rather than 1-2 GSD and 4-8 MTF.
