	== Rules of ‘Self-Antag’ ==		== Rules of ‘Self-Antag’ ==
	~~To start with~~, ~~here are some of~~ the ~~bare bone basic rules when~~ self-antagging.		Self-Antagging covers any antagonism that a player, using the resources available to them as a player, can perform. It is not the same as merely antagging with neither approval nor an appropriate event. When self-antagging:
	* Your goal should be to provide fun for players in the round. Not just for yourself. Create scenarios others can enjoy and interact or involve other players who are receptive to your antics.		* Your goal should be to provide fun for players in the round. Not just for yourself. Create scenarios others can enjoy and interact or involve other players who are receptive to your antics.
	* Don’t Self-Antag without proper IC reasoning. Reasoning along the lines of "I'm bored" or "Giving Security something to do" is NOT a valid reason to be an asshole. Make sure your reason(s) are believable and why your actions make logical IC sense to any Admin.		* Don’t Self-Antag without proper IC reasoning. Reasoning along the lines of "I'm bored" or "Giving Security something to do" is NOT a valid reason to be an asshole. Make sure your reason(s) are believable and why your actions make logical IC sense to any Admin.
			* In a similar vein to the above, you can't invent a reason to antag. Suddenly deciding to hold someone hostage because your character needs money is poor show. Instead consider helping anyone who asks you for favours or cash, only to snap once you run out.
	* Your main goal should be to get away with something and live to fight another day. Not to aim to murder everyone in your sight.		* Your main goal should be to get away with something and live to fight another day. Not to aim to murder everyone in your sight.
	* Don’t break machines or items when you are self-antaging, steal them instead. If the item has no worth to you nor any credit worth, don’t take it. If it does or would sell for a pretty penny, you may steal it and use or pawn it off.		* Don’t break machines or items when you are self-antaging, steal them instead. If the item has no worth to you nor any credit worth, don’t take it. If it does or would sell for a pretty penny, you may steal it and use or pawn it off.

	* Permissible self-antagging does not include things that give you a mechanical antag status, such as Excelsior implantation. All mechanical antagging must be approved by admins via ahelp (or by using the Crusade ritual; Crusaders are mechanically antags and the ritual just pings admins asking them to give you the status).		* Permissible self-antagging does not include things that give you a mechanical antag status, such as Excelsior implantation.

	These are the rules for the server and ''are subject to change without notice''. For further clarification, use common sense. If you did get banned, there's probably a good reason for it, but if you disagree, you can always make an appeal on the discord. Although these are rules, but they are not infallible, complete, or concrete, and probably never will be despite our best efforts. If ''ever'' something feels wrong, either don't do it, or admin-help it first. Above all, use your common sense, listen to the game staff, and try to keep the game fun for everyone; not just yourself.

	*Do not hijack other people's jobs.

Similar examples exist with every department, so use your judgement.

	~~= Dungeoneering =~~
	A core aspect of our server is our PvE content, this can range from going into randomly generated dungeons, leaving the safety of the colony, or simply crawling through maintenance. However, we also have specific jobs for this and ones who should be doing this. As such, '''jobs discouraged or disallowed from dungeoneering are actively targeted by staff when spotted.''' Refer to the list below of jobs allowed to or dungeoneer.
	~~===Core Dungeoneering===~~
	~~These jobs are allowed to enter and leave the colony, and dungeons at will. There expected to do a wide range of things and will never be targeted for being in these areas.~~
	* Foreman \| Salvager \| Prospector
	* Lodge Hunt Master \| Lodge Hunter
	* Outsider

	~~=== The Junkfield ===~~
	~~The Junkfield has no restrictions on any role or job, do to its infinitely reproducible allowing no gameplay or fun to be lost by people using it.~~
	* Anyone - Any reason as long as they are not ignoring or breaking their job.

	~~===Staff Guide for Handling Dungeoneering===~~
	When someone not in the listed jobs above is caught in a dungeon, admin staff are not only instructed to but '''encouraged''' to decide if the player is affecting the overall round to a negative effect and use in-game traps and mobs to kill the respective offender using the listed guide when needed. (Keep in mind we're here to have fun not punish people like robots following stonecold laws for breaking the rules. Use your best mindset for this.) However, this comes with a check list of things that need to be verified.

	# Is the person apart of an event (official, mini-event, player run) that gives them a good roleplay reason to be in the area? I.E. the prospectors wanted extra hands and church litanies for healing, so they paid a vector to come with them.
	~~# Is the person there for a reason that isn't looting? I.E. are they rescuing someone who is injured, etc. etc.~~
	# If both answer to both is no, all staff must first subtle message the player in question with a warning of some kind such as "Something doesn't feel right, you're being watched..." or "An unearthly silence fills the space around you." or similar foreboding messages.
	~~# '''Give them a reasonable amount of time to flee the area''' (usually 5 minutes) after the warning is given so they can avoid being killed.~~
	# If they have not left, start by adding additional mobs/traps in their way as they continue. Under no circumstances should a player ever see the mobs or traps spawned, this means you cannot as staff randomly spawn mobs on top of, in front of, or in implausible locations to harm the offender. This includes spawning hard to spot traps in the path of a walking player, '''do not do this'''. As a rule, all additional spawns should be 7 or more tiles away from the player at all times. All methods to ramp the difficulty must be done in such a way that it makes perfect sense in-character, using thematically appropriate traps/enemies. I.E. You shouldn't be spawning primal renders inside the greyson field offices, etc. etc.
	# Ramp up the pressure until they are dead. Do not begin with 10-20 spiders, start with 3-4 and keep progressing until they are overwhelmed or use lethal traps that they could avoid but will kill them if they're not careful. The goal is first to scare them to flee and only kill them if they persist. Staff who actively and badly enforce this rule without properly adhering to this list will get a [[Job_Strikes_and_You \| Strike]]. If they get 3 or more strikes, they are no longer allowed to enforce this rule and may be demoted.
	# The body should remain intact and reviable '''the first time this happens.''' The second time in the same round, a guilty offender should be rendered unreviable via being devoured by roaches. '''Do not gib or severely fuck up a body beyond repair on the first offense.'''
