{| class="wikitable"
 
|+{{Goodfaith}}
* 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 request a change of objectives by Admin Help. Staff are not obligated to fulfill this request.
=== General Rulings: ===
* 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.
* Antagonists should not be hijacking/attacking the escape shuttle without admin-permission.
* You may request additional Telecrystals (TC) or equipment by Prayer. Staff are not obligated to fulfill this request.
* Most of your actions should be focused around your objectives, or the people directly related to them, you should be keeping opt-in status' in mind aswell. Remember, RP is the focus, and even if the objective could be done with no witness' you should aim to generate some RP around the event itself.
* You may not leave the Station-Z level once you begin antagonistic action on Station.  
* Wildcard objectives are allowed within reason. These objectives cannot be simply wanton chaos and should be used to provide an engaging roleplay experience rather than be used to up the ante.  
 
* If you want to add additional objectives, or side-steps to getting towards an objective, make an ahelp so staff can keep in the loop for the where-and-why.
=== Exfiltrations ===
* Conversion requires there to be at least double-the-security for the amount of people you want to convert, unless it's a pre-set number of converts (Like holoparasite, or simian back up). This includes yourself, so for 2, 3, etc. antagonists total you would need 4 sec, 6 sec, etc.
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.
* Avoid targeting anything relating to atmospherics, or the engine, ahelp for permission if it's part of a gimmick to do so. You should not be attempting to force the round to end quickly via sabotage, massive destruction of the station, or total destruction.
 
* If you roll an antagonist that is not on this list, ahelp to inform staff.
=== Permanent Mechanical State (PMS) ===
* If a antagonist in the roster below does not have any metaprotections listed, it has none.
Permanent Mechanical State is a Status that is applied through Policy and IC circumstance which waives the Combat Indicator engagement timeframe protection.
* Do not exfiltrate without an approved OPFOR or ahelp, you're in it for the long run.
'''You've rolled [antag], and are ready to knock the head off your target, or elsewise, kidnap them, how should you go about this?'''


* As said below, you want to keep opt-in's in mind, this doesn't mean you can't wack the opt-in no engineer who just walked in on your murder, but it does mean you shouldn't kill them, just to steal their jaws so you can break into medical faster.
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.
* Above anything else, before and after this, you want to avoid damaging large-swathes of the station for 1-2 targets.


==== So what can I do?! ====
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.
* Damage an area, as long as said damage is specifically related to the objective.


* Target sec when they show up, as they're always opted in.
==== Status Triggers ====
Station Threat Status Triggers are conditions in which the Station Threat status is applied automatically.


* Elsewise, you can follow their opted in prefs, be it round removal, or what the objective said.
The state in which waiting the usual time for CI isn't required, and anyone under it can be attacked immediately as CI is flagged up, this includes anyone with an AOE passive effect on others (mask of madness, syndicate mood-draining-module, or people who have shown the ability to teleport away from situations.)
|-
|
=== Opt-In ===


==== '''Opt-In Prefs''' ====
If an RP situation comes up, while they're PMS, PMS is suspended until mechanics start again.


* '''No''' means you will not be placed in any antagonist objectives. This does not make you immune to IC consequences or circumstance.
=== Station Threat ===
* '''Yes - Inconvenience''' applies to antagonists and their objectives, namely being kidnapped or cuffed either by objective or circumstance.
Station Threat is a Status that is applied through Policy and IC circumstance which permits any Crew to engage the Threat as a valid target, following roleplay escalation expectations.
* '''Yes - Kill''' applies to both antags and non-antags, letting them know you're open to be killed more wantonly, which also means means you can catch the fade for walking in on a bad situation.
* '''Yes - Round-removal''' is much the same: it lets people know you're alright with round-removal in most situations. So if you walk into a bomb threat you should expect they won't even try to not gib you.

=== Station Threat:{{anchor|Threat}}{{anchor|Station Threat}} ===
* Anyone that the Captain labels SPECIFICALLY as a 'Station Threat' in an Announcement.
=== Antagonist Opt-In ===
The Opt-In system exists to allow players a level of sovereignty over how they interact with antagonistic elements. These preferences must be respected when content is directed at an individual.
* '''No''' removes you from the Antagonist Objective Pool. This does not make you immune to IC circumstance. You should not interfere with Antagonists, out of respect for the game environment.
* '''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.


A station threat is an antag who any player can: hunt, pursue, or elsewise try to kill, without the pursuer needing to worry about valid hunting rules. This is to say they are completely free game for the crew to target.  
== 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.


Station threats are still protected by CI policy, unless they are in a permanent mechanical state. Note that some antagonists start as station threats out the gate.  
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.


For EX:
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.


* Any threat which makes a CC announcement, think: heretic ascending, contractor sending someone away, pirates arriving.
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.
* Any threat, or person which wipes out either the entire, or the majority of the present security force.

Nova Sector Policy
Return to policies page

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 request a change of objectives by Admin Help. Staff are not obligated to fulfill this request.
  • 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.
  • You may not leave the Station-Z level once you begin antagonistic action on Station.

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.

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.

Status Triggers

Station Threat Status Triggers are conditions in which the Station Threat status is applied automatically.

The state in which waiting the usual time for CI isn't required, and anyone under it can be attacked immediately as CI is flagged up, this includes anyone with an AOE passive effect on others (mask of madness, syndicate mood-draining-module, or people who have shown the ability to teleport away from situations.)

If an RP situation comes up, while they're PMS, PMS is suspended until mechanics start again.

Station Threat

Station Threat is a Status that is applied through Policy and IC circumstance which permits any Crew to engage the Threat as a valid target, following roleplay escalation expectations.

Status Triggers

Station Threat Status Triggers are conditions in which the Station Threat status is applied automatically.

  • Anyone that threatens the Station by Announcement System.
  • Any individual which causes a wipe of the currently existing Security team.
  • Anyone that the Captain labels SPECIFICALLY as a 'Station Threat' in an Announcement.

Antagonist Opt-In

The Opt-In system exists to allow players a level of sovereignty over how they interact with antagonistic elements. These preferences must be respected when content is directed at an individual.

  • No removes you from the Antagonist Objective Pool. This does not make you immune to IC circumstance. You should not interfere with Antagonists, out of respect for the game environment.
  • 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.

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.

Active Antagonist Roster

If you roll an antagonist that is not on this list, Admin Help to inform Staff.
