Presidential Protection unit / Secret service role.

[Pollux]

We've had plenty of suggestions for this in the past, they've always been denied as it just won't work. SWAT are able to guard the president, they're sorta secret service and actual SWAT merged into one. The reason for this is that too many player slots as is are taken up by government roles as is and the server simply doesn't have the playerbase to maintain them all. Sure we can add more jobs, however if those jobs will always be empty or hardly ever have anyone in them then there just isn't a point. Guarding the president can also be extremely boring, which is why SWAT have both the flexibility to respond to calls and guard to make it more fun.

It may not be realistic but this is just for gameplay reasons. If we had a seperate role there would be way too many gov roles and the portion of the server that is a gov role would be too high. It's the same reason why jailguard wasn't made into a seperate job, rather it's a sub-role of police (via the /jailguard command). The president can always hire people with custom job titles to be guards too and give them red passes if they really want dedicated guards, which makes a job even more pointless.

If anyone has any good ideas I'm more than happy to hear them, but right now there is little reason to approve this especially considering how well it has been discussed in the past.
