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

Interdyne Pharmaceuticals (Press Expand to see roleplaying info.) Currently, Interdyne’s standing goal and reason for presence on Lavaland is to provide services for a fee, to just about anyone who'll pay. This also means they should have strong incentive to not piss off either the Syndicate, or NT. 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. 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 and Miners: Under the deck officer's command, equal outside of that. 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 Relations Interdyne (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 ghost roles 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: Operation Procedures: 1. Defend the base and maintain its integrity. 2. Patrol local space, and maintain a security perimeter. 3. Act as an emergency fall-back for your ‘allies’ at interdyne, should the worst happen 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 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.'
Important Rulings: What you can do: Fortify or expand the Space Base. Interact with DS2 Z-Level ghost roles and ruins. Kidnap people with explicit OOC consent (via LOOC). What you cannot do: Leave for another Z-level unless it's to the Interdyne Base. Attack/go to the station without an opfor. Attack/Rob people for simply being near the base. You should not be raiding nearby ghost roles just for being on the z-level. (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.) For station crew: OPFOR before breaking into DS2 to announce intent, so staff can be sure you aren’t just raiding an empty base 5 minutes into a round
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.
Freighter Crew: Chain of Command: Freighter Chief: Director of operations, like your own personal Captain, with a much smaller crew. 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 keep everything to yourself, you should be acting as a sketchy merchant. If a crate is labelled for a specific person/’faction’, try your best to deliver it, Though, this is up to the Chiefs discretion, it is an emergency after all. Do not abandon the ship, barring total loss of all other crewmembers, it’s your livelihood, and your 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. You shouldn't be afraid of heading to nearby stations or outposts to get help, or 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: These are rules that aren't inherently hostile to the station, and generally, shouldn't be trying to pick fights.
Golems: You shouldn't be hostile to other roles or the main-station without just cause. Don’t sell your omnilathe boards, giving away the creator's gift is damaging to his reputation. 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, don't steal their tools, not even the combat gloves.
Blackmarket Dealer: Go out into space, get contraband to sell on the blackmarket, or at the station directly. You have alot of advantages in space-tiding, so you should limit yourself to give other people a chance to loot around aswell.
Lavaland Hermit: See general rulings.

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 is required for acts of aggression or stealing from the mining base, station, or mining base adjacent assets. If your 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.
Opfor Required Actions: Trying to escalate against any other ghostroles Acts of combat or sabotage against the station, without there being an immediate risk to oneself or the camp. 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: 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 have been away from advanced technology long enough, it should be almost alien if not magical to them, and even when made aware of it, stuff like the shuttle console is well outside their means of understanding.
IceWalkers: 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 Tribal Roles into conflict without it being part of their opfor, and equally Tribal Roles shouldn't immediately jump on any excuse offered by someone too either. For the station crew: 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. Both sides shouldn't take the first act of conflict as an excuse to go on a genocide. 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.
