Important Information

OOC: For a general rule, don’t rob/destroy/invade empty ghost-roles: This only applies for the first hour. With exception for DS2, where you should opfor before raiding due to the nature of it's existence. No double-dipping characters between any of the following, without having them approved as a 'double agent.' - DS2 | Interdyne | Station. - Ghost roles can only research if the total research points are above 1500. For Antags, you are not to run to Interdyne/DS2 to hide, even if you’ve seen them in-round; without explicit admin permission

About OPFORS: Ghostroles can opfor normally, but you should keep in mind that due to alot of them having near-restrictionless access to a wide variety of systems, and usually an entirely separate 'base' in space, they're going to be more scrutinized then normal OPFORs.

Interdyne Info (OOC/IC):

Interdyne Pharmaceuticals (Press Expand to see roleplaying info.) Currently, Interdyne’s standing goal, and reason for presence on Lavaland is to provide items, and services to those whom request it, for a ‘modest’ fee, without asking for reasons, or authorization. Using their cover as a pharmaceutical company to dissuade Nanotrasen, or the Syndicate from any acts of direct opposition, while they play both sides for their own long-term benefit. This however, does not mean that they aren’t taking actions of their own to inconvenience and otherwise discourage Nanotrasen, or the Syndies from trying to push them off their ‘claims.’ (For Interdyne players, this roughly translates into using your role to provide ‘illicit goods’, or services the station might be trying to clamp down on. Ala, you are a ‘soft-antag’, in that you shouldn’t be trying to directly damage or harm the station/DS2, only providing the means for others to do so) Chain Of Command: Deck Officer: Full management authority Scientists+Miners: Under the deck officers command, equal elsewise. Rules of the house: Defend the base, and maintain a layer of secrecy. Do not allow outsiders to know the outpost’s purpose, Maintain a consistent story of In-department medical research, and arms production. Supply materials and general research to the in-company research wing Interdyne-NT RelationsInterdyne (Public Facing) and NT are not in declared hostilities, and as such, the cover of typical research should be maintained. Interdyne-Syndicate Relations Currently, Interdyne is an uneasy middleman between NT and the Syndicate, working to their own benefit, and trying to avoid direct conflicts wherever possible They may sell the bullets, but they also sell the medicine.

Important Rulings: It’s in the best interest of all parties to avoid all-out combat, especially with the Sol Federation on such short notice, and with no parties being an official ‘government entity.’ The above applies to stationcrew, but in reverse, you can /try/ to rob or otherwise ‘loot’ an Interdyne operative, but it shouldn’t be done constantly, or lethally to avoid an all-out war with them. What you can do: Go to the station (use the public mining shuttle or elsewise, jetpack to the station from ds2 until you have a shuttle) Trade Visit other lavaland roles Visit other space-roles if you end up there Build in, and around the base Produce anything you can think to sell, and have the means to make What you cannot do: Act like an antag Start fights with ghostroles for the sake of killing them Speedrun megafauna Attack the mining base (without opfor) Permanently imprison people (without ooc consent) Don't head off to explore space, you should keep yourself to Lavaland, DS2, or the NT station.

DeepSpace2 Info

Syndicate Space Base, Deep Space 2 (Press Expand for roleplaying info.) For the Admiral: IC - Operation Procedures: 1. Defend the base and maintain its integrity. 2. Passively siphon research from the local NT base, keep tabs on them. 3. Patrol local space, maintain a security perimeter. 4. Act as an emergency fall-back for your ‘allies’ at interdyne, should the worst happen For station crew: OPFOR before breaking into DS2 to announce intent, so staff can be sure you aren’t just raiding an empty base 5m into a round IC - Code of Conduct: 'Do not intentionally harm a fellow agent' 'Do not betray your fellow agents' 'Do not allow yourself, or your fellow agents to be captured, or killed, to the best of your abilities.' Chain of Command Admiral: Full Management Authority Master at Arms: Full Brig Authority Security Operatives: Under Admiral and MAA’s command Medical Operatives, Service Members and Engineers: Under the Admiral’s command Standard Operatives: Under anyone’s command
Important Rulings: What you can do: question nearby spacetiders/other-ghost-roles. clear nearby ruins (in DS2's z-level). fortify the space-base. patrol local space. expand the base. Kidnap people with explicit OOC consent (via LOOC). What you cannot do: Jetpack off into space and tide it yourself (outside DS2's z level) Attack/go to the station without opfor. Kidnap people for the sake of kidnapping them. Attack people for simply being near the base. Rob people for the sake of robbing them. You should not be raiding other ghost roles. (Station side antags are not to go looking for Interdyne/The Syndicate) (Station crew should have no idea DS2 exists, or what it is if encountered.)
COMMS AGENT : Follows standard DS2 rules

Above-Board Corporations

General Rulings: You shouldn't involve yourself with antags, or general security situations, not your dog, not your fight.
Cargodise Lost: (Unaffiliated Cargo Shuttle) CoC: Freighter Chief: Absolute say. Freighter crewman/Excavator: Below the FC, he’s your boss, you don’t get paid if you piss off your boss, do you? Guidelines: Sell your stock, don’t use everything on yourself, you’re present to make you, and your fellow crewmen money. If a crate is labelled for a specific person/’faction’, try your best to deliver it, though, this is up to your ‘QMs’ discretion. Do not abandon the ship, barring total loss of all other crewmembers, it’s your livelihood, and your (temporary?) home. For station crew: Don’t raid the ship wordlessly, don’t go directly to the cargo bay, try to engage with the freighter crew, and or barter.
Charlie Station(?)/Port Tarkon: You’ve woken up a bit late to your station in shambles, work to repair it, and figure out what happened. Do not abandon the base without due cause, you can, however, head to the station for trade. For station crew: You can freely interact with Tarkon, but, try to avoid instantly taking them back to the station. In regards to the syndicate: They are unaware of the Syndicate’s existence and their current standing with NT.

Isolated Roles

General Rulings:
Golems: Don’t raid the station, stay to lavaland if you can (OPFOR to leave it) Don’t sell your omnilathe boards, giving away the creator's gift is damaging to his reputation. Remember, to always tell golems who have just awoken, “Go do whatever.” For station crew: Avoid raiding the golem ship, and do not purchase the omnilathe board, yes we’re aware you can buy it, that does not mean it’s allowed.
Pod Person: You’re a plantman, grow stuff, sell it off for stuff you need, smoke weed. For the stationcrew: Don’t take the gatfruit, or the cherrybombs, and absolutely do not steal their tools, not even the combat gloves.
Blackmarket Dealer: Sell shit, get bread
Lavaland Hermit: Live I guess

Tribal Roles

General Rulings: No tribal chars on the station/syndicate/Interdyne unless you intend to play them as incapable of returning to being a ‘tribal’.
Opfor Required Actions: Retaliating against the station at large Trying to escalate against any other ghostroles Non-retaliatory conflict. (Ala, going after stationcrew or elsewise without just cause) Targeting the station, or stealing from it / it's adjacent assets. Growling, spamming 'begone outsider,' and pointing at a weapon, do not count as escalation, especially before attacking people.
Ashwalkers: OPFOR is required for acts of aggression or stealing from the mining base, station, or mining base adjacent assets. Tribals, and worshippers of the necropolis which grants them theoretical immortality, with the catch they have to provide as much as they take. You are under no obligation to guard the other tendrils or the ‘megafauna’, as they offer gifts to those who slay them, indicating the necropolis’ will. Though, you are still free to, if you are using it for resources. They are not by default holy sites to you. They are natural resources, so you may treat them as such. (This is not a pass to grief the mining base, or the other ghostroles for daring to kill a fauna at any point) Ashwalkers should have no capability on their own to go to the station, as they should have no idea how a mining shuttle or how its console works. They must either be invited or captured by the crew and so forth. For Syndicate roles: Opfor before involving the ashwalkers in any conflict, be it against the station, or elsewise, naturally this implies player-versus-player combat. For the station crew: Same as always, don’t raid the camp when it’s empty/clearly uninhabited, Don’t start needless conflict with the ashwalkers, and don’t break the (camp)tendril without good reason (Large scale attacks on the mining base, repeated killings of miners). Don’t use a single ashwalker attacking you as justification to wipe the entire ghost-role. Your character is not a homicidal maniac, and you will never be given permission to pretend to be one unless you are an antagonist.
IceWalkers: If the camp's being attacked, being bombed, or elsewise, actively harmed or invaded, you can defend it, this does mean you shouldn't be going around instigating fights for the sake of claiming 'defense' later. You are not free without an OPFOR to go sabotaging the station, or connected facilities just because they're around, equally people being around the camp doesn't count as it being attacked, until they actually attack it / steal from it. As for station interaction, Icewalkers are established to trade with outsiders though you are free and encouraged to roleplay being wary of advanced technology and strange items sold by them, but they should keep to the outside of the station as much as possible. Icewalker names follow a specific structure. A birth name and optionally, a title.Their birth names still hold resemblance Nordic/Inuit/Northern-Slavic cultures, name such as 'Solveig Helgasdottir,' or 'Bjorn Lukasson,' being examples of the former. Icewalkers are gene-modded humans - what this means is they have human characteristics to some degree, be it just human hands, or nearly entirely human except for some ears and a tail. The icewalkers have no official leader, or official power overseeing them.
'Third Parties' Antagonists should be avoiding any attempts to drag the Icewalkers into conflict without it being part of their opfor, and the Icewalkers shouldn't immediately jump on any excuse offered by someone too either. For the station crew: Same with the ashwalkers, don’t raid the camp when it’s empty/clearly uninhabited, Additionally, even if you are Security, do not start needless conflict with the Icewalkers if it doesn't create roleplay opportunities, and don’t break the cave, hole, or tunnel, whatever they spawn in or it's equipment without escalation. Don’t use a single Icewalker attacking you as justification to wipe the entire ghost-role. Do not use a single stationer attacking Icewalkers as justification for massive wars either.
