Like many people I'm sure, I see red alert called so often that I've become almost apathetic to it. I like the suggestion of 2 cards plus admin approval to call it in. I'd like to see red alert reserved for more of a "shit has hit the fan all hands to battle stations" type situation. If security is dealing with syndie agents for instance, is that really a threat to the entire station? Should 50+ people be expected to be confined to the bar for the duration of the round because someone emagged a console? Ideally sec could conduct their tator hunts at blue alert and move into red if someone tries to bomb the bridge or hijack the shuttle.
