General Antagonist Policy

By accepting an Antagonist role, you acknowledge that your job is to be entertaining, not to win. Greentext is a mechanical indicator, and should not be your central goal.

• Your actions should support your current objectives.
• You may not leave the Station-Z level once you begin antagonistic action on Station.
• You may request a change of or additional objectives by Admin Help. Staff are not obligated to fulfill this request.
• If your Target is in a Private Space, SSD/AFK, or is outside of the Station Z level, you should Admin Help for a change of Objective. Staff must assist with this.
• You may request that all your objectives are removed by Admin Help. You must provide an outline of your goals for the shift to Staff if you do this.
• You may request additional Telecrystals (TC) or equipment by Prayer. Staff are not obligated to fulfill this request.
• Conversions may be performed with LOOC consent from the target.
• The Self Actualization Device, Magic Mirror, and other such total identity transformation options that are not provided by the Uplink may not be used for antagonistic purposes.

Exfiltrations

If you believe Staff are about to send ERT in response to your actions, you may Admin Help and request an Exfiltration. If Staff agree, they will establish the terms and method for your removal from the shift.

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.

Headmin Only & You Will Probably Never See, Please Stop Asking.

Antag Type	Description:	Special Rules:	Protections:	Meta-Objectives
Clock Cult	Description: You are a worshipper of arts that can only be explained through the conclusion that conjuration exists. Your goal is to satisfy your masters and further your arcane knowledge.	Special Rules: Clock Cultists cannot ascend. Achieving any Area of Effect Aura, such as those which cause forced laughing or stamina drain, turns you into a Station Threat with PMS.	Protections: Your clothing isn't suspicious, people wear weird things all the time. Your weapons, methods, and interactions with your deity and greater powers are extremely suspicious.

Metaknowledge: It is almost a guarantee that if you see a Sunwalker that it has been tuned with admin tools to be significantly more dangerous than you will see in code.

Yes, that means the correct answer to a Heliarch is a TTV or Grenades.	Metaobjective: Remain a constant nuisance. Destroy everything you can reach. Achieve Red Alert and ERT call.
Wizard	Description: You are a fringe survivor of a dead federation, maintaining the old practices. Gone are the days of warfare, you exist in an age of survival.
