Before jobs are assigned, the game will decide who the round antagonists are. A player who would normally have spawned as Security will spawn as a different job instead if they are selected as Antagonist.

This means you can have Security jobs on HIGH without having to worry about never getting antagonist roles.
This means you can have Security jobs on HIGH without having to worry about never getting antagonist roles.


The chance to be assigned an antagonist-role on roundstart is increased by a player-specific ''"antag rep"''. It increases for each non-antagonist rounduntil it hits a cap and will reset upon the player being assigned an antagonist role. This mechanic only applies to roundstarts, becoming a midgame-antagonist will not reset your ''"antag-rep"''.

Any player who was not assigned a job spawns as a random job from the (probably small) pool of remaining empty jobs. This depends on what they selected in their character setup's occupation page (there is a toggle at the bottom).

If you join the round late, you will be able to choose a specific job from the remaining empty jobs, or a random job.

== Tips for Job Selection ==
As you can see, people who have a job set to high are far, far more likely to get the job, since if there is only one slot available for a job - like [[Head of Security|HoS]] - and there is one person who sets that job to high and 20 people who set it to medium, the one person who set it to high will always get the job.

*Have your favorite job set to high, if you have two favorites or more, set one of them higher than the others. Do not have all three set to medium as you will very likely not get them - especially if the jobs have very few slots available.

This is a list of the number of slots available on station. This does not count reassignments done by the [[Head of Personnel]]. [[Cyborg|Cyborgs]] cannot be late-joiners, however you may spawn in as an assistant and be turned into one in-game. The default player age restriction is shown in brackets. Do note that the exact values are subject to constant balancing.
