Руководство для новичков: различия между версиями

# Consult your colleagues on shift in person, over [[Radio|radio]], or via [[Discord]]

# Ask [[Game Admins|Administrators]] for [[Ahelp|in-game help (or ''ahelp'')]] by hitting {{key press|Escape}}, selecting '''Admin Help'''. This lets you send a message to all online administrators.

You are all a crew of people who work together (even [[Clown|the Clown]]). You should not be harming each other unless you have an extremely good reason. Before resorting to violence, call [[Security]] over the radio, attempt to stun and detain <s>the assistant</s> your assailants. Do not commit murder [[#Antagonists|unless it's your job to]].

As soon as you spawn, you’re expected to act as your character, or "in character" ('''IC'''). When you’re in character you forget any knowledge of previous rounds or the world outside, and play as if you're actually a member of the station's crew.

"Out of Character" ('''OOC''') is the opposite of '''IC'''. This includes any conversations you have outside of the game world e.g. in the designated '''OOC''' chat, in a private message, or a chat with your friends. You shouldn’t discuss the current round or anything that’s '''IC''' in '''OOC''' channels. Likewise anything you see or read in '''OOC''' '''''must not''''' be used by your character in game. If one of your friends identifies a traitor, or tells you they’re dying in a certain location, you '''''must ignore it''''' and go about your business as if you don't know. Going to help them is known as [[Metagaming|'''metagaming''']], and [[Bans|will get you banned]].

If you suspect a player in game is metagaming (for example, if you're a traitor and someone kills you before you've done anything to them), you should report them via [[Ahelp|''Ahelp'']] or [[Discord|the project's Discord]].

To summarize, when you’re in game:

                <li>Discuss the round elsewhere (until the round is over)</li>

=== Antagonists ===

To give the game a bit of excitement, some players are selected to work against the crew by acting as Antagonist, or '''antag'''. There are various types of antags, like [[Traitor|traitors]] and [[Cult|cultists]]. You can volunteer to play as an '''antag''' through the character editor at the start of a game.

Even if you volunteered to be an antag, it is not guaranteed that you will be picked. When a round starts, players will be automatically and randomly selected to fill the antagonist roles. The game will notify them of their assignment in chat. If you're not sure if you've been selected, press {{key press|C}}. If you're an antag, you'll have a list of objectives. If not, you're a normal employee.

'''Being an antagonist is not an excuse to go on a murder spree.''' Your job is to complete your objectives. On occasion, that will include the assassination of a target. Sometimes it will include escaping alive or dying a glorious death. How you complete your objectives is up to you, but keep in mind that there are other syndicate agents on the station that have their own objectives. While your objectives take priority and might not always align with theirs, you generally shouldn't recklessly endanger their missions by destroying the station or going on a blind murder spree. If you can manage to identify them, working with them can actually be mutually beneficial!

As always, try to have fun with it! (Ideally not at everyone's expense... but that’s up to you.)

==== Responding to Antagonists ====

If you suspect someone is an antagonist, '''report them to [[Security|security]] as fast as possible''', and do what you can to protect yourself. Remember, antagonists are [[Space Law|legally]] people too, so they must be arrested and prosecuted if at all possible.

Self-Antagonizing ('''self-antag''') is when you are NOT an antagonist, yet you go out of your way to break [[Space Law|the law]], damage the station, or commit murder. Breaking the law is not inherently self-antagonizing, but attacking your crewmates, attempting to break into high security areas, and hoarding items you job doesn't need ''are''. Self-antagonizing can and will get you [[Bans|banned]].

Unless the game tells you that you are an antagonist, you are a normal member of the crew, and your only objective is to complete the shift in your designated role.

 

Random Death Match ('''RDM''') is the act of attempting to kill someone for no reason. If you are being attacked, the other person is likely an Antagonist. If you're unsure, [[Ahelp|ask the admins]].
