Rules 1.3.2

About the PR

Update Rule 1.7D
Do not hide contraband or other antagonistic activity behind a Privacy holobarrier. Keep all antagonistic activity in a location publicly accessible.

Added rule 3.4
Do not powergame encounters by utilising metaknowledge of where hostile entities spawn and how to optimally overcome them, or to circumvent gameplay loops. E.g. building walls to block turrets behind blast doors or TDF checking every POI for dead drop notes before alerted to them.

Update Rule 6.3
If you choose a Command, or Faction role, you are required to participate in the round as that role when your role is required.

Update Rule 7.5
If you've participated in a raid upon LPB or Sevastopol, please give a minimum of 3 shifts before you rush for the content again. This is to give other players a chance to experience the content. After 6 hours into the shift, this embargo is lifted.

(It's meant to be 2/3rds of the shift but wasn't updated with the shift end timer)

Update: Category 9
Renamed to "Command, Faction, and Self-Antag Guidelines"

Added rule 9.1A
Factions as they exist are the TDF and TFA. Including within the TFA: Venmar staff, Edison staff and Medical Dispatch staff.

Added Rule 9.1B
Self-antagging is allowed, to grant players freedom in the characters they play. This does not mean that PvP is fully enabled. Murder and killing should be a last resort, antags exist to generate stories.

Deleted Rule 9.4
It is the same rule as 6.3, Rules 9.5-9.7's numbers adjusted to compensate for the missing rule

Deleted Rule 11.4C

Added Rule 10.5, 10.5A, 10.5B, 10.5C
With Ship to Ship combat, follow all Escalation Guidelines as well as these. Once a surrender has been made, all hostilities must cease. ★★

• When your opponents ship has stopped moving or firing it's guns at you, cease fire and request that they surrender.

• Do not fire upon a ship that has lost combat capabilities, but is still operational. For example it's pilot has been killed.

• When demanded to surrender, you do not need to be accept, but you must respond if capable. No response is considered a surrender.

I think with this, should leave as is until the new rework of AI and the rework of dungeon is in progress or done.

Rules are not static, there is no "Leave as is", they are updated as and when is required and maintaining the rules is part of administrative work.
