Hopline changes on box, encouraging paperwork.

Intent of your Pull Request

Original idea was this:

Now i changed it to this after some conversation with johnnyboyz25 while also including the thing Hopek suggested:

all credit to johnnyboyz25 for the cubicle idea.

The current way paperwork is done is you usually get handed a paper while you reach the window, then you fill it out while the other people have to wait.
But with this change the HoP can print out various forms and lay them out on the tables for people to fill in while they sit safely in the cubicles without being jostled.
This change encourages paperwork and allows HoP's to be more creative without actually slowing the id change process that much.

now it just needs a disposals tube to launch paperwork onto the table

[johnnyboyz25]

What if the middle two tables were removed, and replaced with two directional reinforced windows, facing each other. This would create a cubicle, and players sitting in the cubicle would not be jostled by players moving through the HOP line. Additionally, to further discourage jostling of players (and to 'reset' players to the back of the line), move the vertical line of directional windows from the left to the right.

I think this makes more sense, because the players still have to pass the HoP to request the form (on the clipboard in the HoP locker (?)).

I like the additional ability for paperwork meta, though.

The cubicle idea is nice except 1 issue with it:
Having the doors be on the inside of the line means that you now have to backtrack in the line to get to the cube.
If you make the doors on the outside it means they can grab paper, to in the cube from the outside then go back in line once they finish the paperwork.

In your current door placement:

• Can't get out of cube if there is a long line
• has to backtrack through line to get in to the cubicle
• once done can't get back in line starts in the middle if someone even lets them in

Making doors on the outside:

• can walk up to bin to get paper then just go straight to the cube
• after the form is done they just get in line
• able to get out of cube whenever they want

Legend:
RED = current path (looks like a mess with backtracking)
BLUE = proposed path if doors were outside (nice circle with a flow)

Also; in your current design if the HoP tells them to fill out a form they'll grab paper then have to wait in line just to get to the cube which is weird.

My idea is that HoP prints the form papers and puts them in the cubicles before people come rushing in, so they dont have to wait in the line anyway, but I'll think about it.

Okay even in your scenario:
They go to HOP, HoP now tells them to fill out a form.
In your current design they can't fight through people in the line to get to a cubicle they need to get back in line, wait for a spot to the cube to fill out then fill out their form.
When they finish they have to wait until someone lets them back into the line?
