'''Play-to-Win Mechanics'''

* The term "Play-to-win-mechanics" describes when a player engages with the game mechanics with the intent of creating an advantage for themselves in an attempt to 'win', but at the cost of the quality of roleplay, and, while negatively affecting the experience of others.

'''However;''' know that the onus of making it clear you're not playing to win, is on you.

===1. Combat Indicator===

====== '''Combat indicators signal the transitioning from roleplay, to 'combat,' or elsewise putting yourself at an advantage.''' ======

#Think of it as a handshake that should be returned by the other party, so that people cannot get the jump on someone who is typing, and or not paying attention.
#* '''You cannot CI before a situation or interaction, unless they're PMS.'''
# The follow up acts are something that exist in a somewhat grey area, and shouldn't be used in bad faith, or with intent to gain an advantage, and rulebreak or not will be context dependent:
#* Setting up a slip, or a beartrap while being approached,
#* Running away mid escalating situation,
#* Radio'ing something that will get others to show up, (or any other method of communication, PDA, carrier pigeon, news caster, request-help from departmental consoles, etc)

====Example Scenario====
''Remember - Combat Indicator or CI must be turned on first before the grace period timer begins.''

# If either party is in roleplay, you should always attempt to roleplay the escalation first, if they try to disengage from the roleplay(start hacking the door to get out, get a weapon out without an emote doing so, etc) you're free to attack as they have actively started mechanics.
