I found that joining as an observer and then idling as a ghost is a good way to not waste your time by playing it.

Apparently anomaly suits aren't spaceproof anymore in BS12. Guess how I found out.

Wonderful. So now the coders have 173, and an "is looking at and can see?" template? I can see Anomolies getting interesting in the future now that the admins can make things backstab people...

So, do you need somebody watching 173  constantly so it won't escape? Or is it a simple combat bot that can be thwarted with a door?

So, how does everyone feel about being some sort of scientist and doing the same thing every round?

I mean, find anomalies, put it in the tester, test it out, try to activate it, round ends. Rinse & repeat.

This holds true for most professions.

Untrue for security, if it's not extended, which is why Detective is the best. You'll get thievery, riots, murder, and the occasional hostage situation followed by a bloody firefight. Or the hostage taker just getting tazed. Goddamn tazers are OP.

Being a janitor could be dull every once in awhile, but sometimes, we get lucky breaks.

[CAUTION: Tropes ahead]

I mean, sure, we don't have much to do at the start, checking lightbulbs and changing them, asking around for work, paging sections of the station for work, using our PDAs for similar reasons, looking for random bits of litter, mopping up the occasional blood stain, graffiti, cult symbols; but sometimes we tend to be the front line investigators of certain situations. Once in awhile, we also tend to get so wrapped up in our work, we also tend to use some random crap we collected to make our way around restricted areas, and find a random copy of King's Quest XVII with a nasty virus on it to erase from the AI.

Naturally, if there is a traitor or some crazy killing force running amok the station, we can always buy everyone some time, or snag ourselves the traitor's weapon, or surprise attack them by merely mopping the floor.

Don't underestimate us janitors. We're dedicated to clearing out the trash, and cleaning up the place. Some of us may have background in some other talents, or enough to provide some input. We just decide to be janitors because we're just really lazy or dis-motivated to make something better of ourselves. One thing's for certain, this job is surprisingly fun at times; especially when you work somewhere like SS13.

I don't know about anyone else, but I like this role. Plenty of room for variety, RP'ing and situationally. About as varied as security, but not as restricting either, and people look past you like an assistant. I see nothing wrong with that; little do they know, I could have their lunch (or more important good) in my backpack as I pass by them after cleaning their quarters. Oh yeah, and as far as I know, we of the Custodial Legion of Environmental Aid for Nanotrasen seem to have a surprisingly high survival rate.

NOTE:
I seem to reliably survive alot as a freaking janitor. I've hit Roger Wilco levels of blind luck and problem solving. I mean, most recently, I evaded aliens, and escaped with a suspicious briefcase on me without a second glance from anybody. Although having a xeno welcome me at the homebase post-escape was a rather disturbing end. Fortunately, the round technically ended before my fate was sealed. Since he was still armed with a rather heavy (locked) briefcase, I think he could've taken the xeno on, and jettisoned him out of the airlock the traditional way.

Janitor truly is fantastic. Alongside the detective they're basically antag first response. And yes, the janitor truly is almighty.

I don't know... A traitor chaplain can be the deadliest being on the station, since they have SEVERAL ways to dispose of a corpse. They have even Medical and Roboticists beat in that aspect.

I managed to take advantage of a rather atheist crew when I smuggle all kinds of crap, and hide some contraband for/from other crew members by using a confessional as a storage closet. Nobody suspected a thing. Why is a church the best place to hide crap within? Because nobody visits them until Christmas and Easter, and even if that. Just as long as there aren't any other faithfuls around (especially a chaplain), churches make epic storage closets for all kinds of stuff.

Perfect for trying to crack the code on a briefcase as well, behind the backs of the traitors and such; due to a confessional's privacy.

Que the ERPers catching you off guard.

Which is funny because usually it's the other way round.
