 [color=#a4885c]5.2[/color] Do not escalate situations needlessly. Very few things are deserving of a fight to the death, or the loss of life of somebody. Brawls and self defense are permitted, but do NOT put someone in critical state without a VERY valid reason to it (roleplay-based or not).

 [color=#a4885c]5.10[/color] Try to avoid engaging in public roleplay (both verbal or/and in action) that may make other people overly uneasy or uncomfortable, unless you got very valid gameplay or roleplay reasons to it. Public meant as in: any radio channel (including the telepath channel), out loud speech or overt actions in actual public physical locations, or doing so on camera.
 While it may make sometimes for amazing roleplay, not everybody may have the sensitivity to be able to hear your character recanting some dark, depressing tale or to see them doing something inherently twisted or disturbing. You can find more on this in the ERP Rules and Guidelines section.

 For example, it is to be avoided to check PDAs, implants and headsets unless the person is strongly suspected to be a syndicate agent, and there is evidence to back this up.

 This applies both to actual player characters, and ghost role characters, people and creatures.
 If your OOC consent is not respected, immediately contact an administrator or moderator.

+[color=#ffff00]1. Follow Command and Security Guidelines:[/color]
 [color=#a4885c]1.1[/color] Security and Command roles are expected to know and perform their jobs to the best of their ability, and to have extensive knowledge in regards to the duties, management and operations of their departments. These roles often heavily impact the round and require careful and conscientious roleplay. 
 As such, their roleplay quality is held to a much higher standard, especially in the event a player was to play a character in such a role committing a crime or being disruptive. 
 If you cannot meet these requirements, do NOT take these roles.
@@ -152,7 +152,7 @@ If you cannot meet these requirements, do NOT take these roles.
 The criminal should always be tried first, and executed or/and given a DNR order later. However, if this is proven to be something impossible or too dangerous to carry out, such as during a crisis situation, or if the crime is deemed particularly heinous and the criminal provably guilty beyond any reasonable doubt, trial can be skipped.
 [color=#a4885c]1.14[/color] Do not mindbreak others against their will solely because they have psionic powers. Only do so when the individual is either a proven antagonist (and even then, it is strongly encouraged not to do so unless absolutely necessary, such as them having a power that makes their containment exceedingly difficult), or proven to be misusing their powers to the detriment of the safety of the station.

+[color=#ffff00]2. Follow antagonist guidelines:[/color]
 [color=#a4885c]2.1[/color] Antagonists exist to move the round forward and make things interesting and fun for everyone involved. The point is NOT to “greentext” or win over people by pulling every meta trick in the book. The real victory, is in achieving your goals in a fun, interesting, or unique way. As such, “play to win” gameplay void of any roleplay aspect is not only heavily discouraged, but may also lead to negative notes or even suspensions, if deemed to be causing a negative impact on the community and be detrimental to everybody’s fun. 
 The same of course, is to be applied to roles in opposition to antagonists, such as Security and Command. 
 We are all here to roleplay, relax and have fun, not to have a competition on who’s the best or the most “robust”. The objectives are meant to me a means to an end, a way to craft and tell a compelling narrative, a fun story for the shift.
