Presently 18 years in, I got a duty after 2 years due to it becoming vacant just after a re-sign and non of the higher ups could apply due to 12 month rule. Kept it until the next re-sign and lost it but got the worst rural which, due to the others being optimised is probably one of the best rurals now but I have seniority so its difficult to lose.

The upside of having an unpopular round is that it can become quite manageable once you know folks and safe-places and who's likely to be in/out and who's friends with who and you can do it in your sleep, it becomes as easy as any.

Nobody likes my round except for me...its my own little realm.
