	#Characters who are turned into cyborgs can remember their former lives, however they are still bound to their laws.

You CAN inform other crewmembers of your demise if doing such complies with your current laws.		#Characters who are turned into cyborgs can remember their former lives, however they are still bound to their laws. This means if a traitor murdered you, then you get turned into a cyborg, you can't just go kill them for revenge if it would be outside of your laws. You CAN inform other crewmembers of your demise if doing such complies with your current laws.
	#Syndicate Agents and Revolutionaries are considered "crewmembers" for the purpose of laws that refer to crewmembers. Nuclear Operatives, animals, wizards, zombies, or other external station threats are not considered crewmembers. Generally speaking, if the person appears on the crew manifest, they can be considered a crewmember.		#Syndicate Agents and Revolutionaries are considered "crewmembers" for the purpose of laws that refer to crewmembers.

	#"Harm" is at minimum seen as physical violence or damage against someone or something. If the player wishes, they may choose to interpret psychological harm or similar aspects as harm as well, but should be consistent in deciding to do so. Silicons should also strive to minimize harm where possible when your laws instruct you to prevent harm. If two actions are likely to cause harm via action or inaction, silicons will be expected to try and pursue the option with the least potential for harm.		#"Harm" is at minimum seen as physical violence or damage against someone or something.

If two actions are likely to cause harm via action or inaction, silicons will be expected to try and pursue the option with the least potential for harm, however silicons instructed to prevent harm are still forbidden from directly harming a protected person intentionally. You can pursue an action that might result in harm inadvertantly, but you cannot directly harm.
	#When receiving orders or directives from crewmembers and with a law that instructs you must obey, conflicting orders typically defer the choice to the silicon player of which directive you choose to obey if they conflict (taking into account the priorities of your other laws). If a detained prisoner orders you to release them, but the Head of Security orders you to not release them, you should consider which course of action would cause less overall harm if your first law above "obeying orders" instructs you to "reduce harm", for example.		#When receiving orders or directives from crewmembers and with a law that instructs you must obey, conflicting orders typically defer the choice to the silicon player of which directive you choose to obey if they conflict (taking into account the priorities of your other laws).

	=== Antagonist-Specific Rules ===		=== Antagonist-Specific Rules: In General ===
	'''The following sub-section applies only to antagonists'''. Antagonists have a lot of leeway with everything in the above rule section "Don't be a dick" as antagonists are designated by the game to cause problems for the station. You may kill crew members/sabotage the station as you see fit and do not have to escalate conflicts as normal; however, if your behavior degrades the experience for majority of the server you will be told to stop.

You may kill crew members/sabotage the station as you see fit and do not have to escalate conflicts as normal; however, if your behavior degrades the experience for majority of the server you will be told to stop.

	#~~Antagonists~~ are not strictly required to pursue their objectives. You may deviate from your objectives in order to make the round more interesting for the rest of the station. Keep in mind that massively damaging the station is not "keeping the round interesting".		#Do not needlessly prolong or delay the round ending. If the station is in complete disarray with majority of the crew dead or dying, do not continually recall the shuttle or hunt down the remaining survivors and needlessly drag out the round. Make an effort to move the round to completion if it stalls. Don't continually recall the shuttle or hold rounds hostage.
	#Massive station damage or sabotage (ex: releasing the singularity, bombing the Anti-Matter Engine (AME), sabotaging atmospherics, or degrading large portions of the station's infrastructure) should not be done early in the round. As a general rule, after about 30-45 minutes into a shift these actions can be considered fair game. More leeway is given to these actions if they directly help serve your objectives in some way, or if you are attempting to force a shuttle call to complete your objectives.		#The arrivals terminal, shuttle, and immediate area around arrivals is off-limits to antagonist activity. Don't spawncamp people coming off of arrivals and don't damage the terminal/shuttle/dock or kill/injure players still on/in those areas.

			=== Antagonist-Specific Rules: Traitor ===
			#Traitors are not strictly required to pursue their objectives. You may deviate from your objectives in order to make the round more interesting for the rest of the station. Keep in mind that massively damaging the station is not "keeping the round interesting".
			#Traitors are not a team antagonist and are not required to cooperate with one another. "Identify yourself at your own risk".
			#Massive station damage or sabotage (ex: releasing the singularity, bombing the Anti-Matter Engine (AME), sabotaging atmospherics, or degrading large portions of the station's infrastructure) should not be done early in the round. As a general rule, after about 30-45 minutes into a shift these actions can be considered fair game. More leeway is given to these actions if they directly help serve your objectives in some way, or if you are attempting to force a shuttle call to complete your objectives. This also applies to actively killing as many crew members as possible. Keep your homicide contained until the shift has had some time to be underway.
	#Wanton murder of crew members in great number for no purpose and with little effort/danger to yourself is forbidden. Hiding in maintenance and killing anyone who walks by and hiding the corpse is boring and you are taking people out of the game for no purpose while posing little risk to yourself.		#Wanton murder of crew members in great number for no purpose and with little effort/danger to yourself is forbidden. Hiding in maintenance and killing anyone who walks by and hiding the corpse is boring and you are taking people out of the game for no purpose while posing little risk to yourself.
	~~#Holding the round hostage by continually recalling the emergency shuttle is forbidden.~~
	~~#Traitors are not a team antagonist and are not required to cooperate with one another (however you are discouraged from killing your protection target). "Identify yourself at your own risk".~~		=== Antagonist-Specific Rules: Nuclear Operatives ===
	#Nuclear Operatives are a team-based antagonist. Operatives should work together with one another at all times, however operatives are ''not'' explicitly required to work with potential traitors or other antagonists.		#Nuclear Operatives are a team-based antagonist. Operatives should work together with one another at all times, however operatives are ''not'' explicitly required to work with potential traitors or other antagonists.
	#Minor antagonists ~~such as rat servants~~, ~~zombies~~, ~~spiders~~, and other hostile ~~animals~~ are not a free ticket to ~~destroy~~ station infrastructure ~~and sabotage critical structures~~. ~~Play your role and seek~~ out and attack crew ~~members~~, ~~not power supplies and~~ atmospherics.		#Do not intentionally sabotage/hinder/sandbag your team. The team works best when everyone does their part.
			#Do not take excessively long (>45 minutes) to "prepare" for your station assault. This needlessly stretches out the round.
			#Make an effort to drive the round once you and your team make entry into the station. Running around aimlessly gunning the crew down is only fun for the operatives; not the rest of the server.

			=== Antagonist-Specific Rules: Minor Antagonists ===
			This covers minor antagonists like Rat Kings, spiders, salvage mobs, and other hostile wildlife.
			#Salvage mobs are meant to defend the salvage they spawn on. Don't abandon the salvage and go around attacking the station or its inhabitants. You should only be attacking things that draw near your salvage.
			#Minor antagonist roles are not a free ticket to go attack station infrastructure to cause as much damage as possible. Seek out and attack the crew and things that prevent you from directly getting to them. Attacking things like power, atmospherics, or spacing areas when it doesn't get you closer to killing someone is going out of your way to be a dick.
