* '''Yes - Inconvenience''' allows the Antagonist Objective Pool to select you for non-lethal objectives. This also indicates you are willing to be interfered with non-lethally.
* '''Yes - Kill''' allows the Antagonist Objective Pool to select you for lethal objectives. This also indicates that you are okay with being subjected to violence that may result in your death.
* '''Yes - Round-Removal (RR)''' allows the Antagonist Objective Pool to select you for anything. This also indicates you are okay with actions that result in your total removal from the shift.

=== Permanent Mechanical State (PMS) ===
Permanent Mechanical State is a Status that is applied through Policy and IC circumstance which waives the Combat Indicator engagement timeframe protection.
 
You may attempt to drop the PMS Status by disabling your CI and refusing to return violent contact with your aggressor. You may dodge and attempt to avoid damage during this time.
 
If someone that is PMS appears to be making an effort to return to a Roleplay State, you should attempt to indulge them. You are not obligated to do so.

== Special Antagonists ==
Special Antagonists are a collection of individuals with direct access to the Antagonist system, supported by Staff tools and requested by Admin Help. Staff are not Special Antagonists by default.
 
Depending on their allowances, they may have permanent access to an Antagonist type, or permission to request Antagonist statuses when the general and recent threat to the Station allows it.
 
These are unique cases. A list of all currently active Special Antagonists and their permissions can be found on the Discord in #roster. Staff are to verify the position on the roster before assisting.
 
Special Antagonist Status is only available by offer from a Head Admin. It may be revoked at any time, for any reason. You can get offered this status by being a notably good-for-Nova Antagonist player.

Special Antagonists

Special Antagonists are a collection of individuals with direct access to the Antagonist system, supported by Staff tools and requested by Admin Help. Staff are not Special Antagonists by default.

Depending on their allowances, they may have permanent access to an Antagonist type, or permission to request Antagonist statuses when the general and recent threat to the Station allows it.

These are unique cases. A list of all currently active Special Antagonists and their permissions can be found on the Discord in #roster. Staff are to verify the position on the roster before assisting.

Special Antagonist Status is only available by offer from a Head Admin. It may be revoked at any time, for any reason. You can get offered this status by being a notably good-for-Nova Antagonist player.
