Rules

0. RP

 * The main rule, this is a MRP-HRP server, act like it. If you have a question about RP, you may ask staff.

1. D-Class Rules

 * D-Class do not have rights to the foundation, but they are assets to the foundations and if at all possible must be safely detained instead of killed.
 * D-Class personnel may revolt with just cause as they are treated badly by the foundation staff.

2. Guard Rules

 * As guards may be antagonists, conflict between guards is allowed but must be done with escalation and you must be reasonable about what you would start a fight over.

3. Orders

 * If you follow an order from a superior that is against server rules, you may raise the issue but if you are forced to do the order by the superior, you will not be at fault.

4. SCP Friendliness

 * You may not be friendly to Keter/Euclid SCPs, only antagonists may attempt to ally themselves but SCPs are freely allowed to kill you despite this.
 * Safe Class SCPs are allowed to have a degree of friendliness, but you may not attempt to free them or assist them in any way that is detrimental to the Foundation

5. Foundation Detriment

 * Do not directly act to the detriment of the foundation without just cause or without being an antagonist

6. Escalate

 * Reasonably escalate conflict and play a character that makes sense, you cannot claim you killed someone because your character is insane or a psychopath. This applies to all jobs
 * Active Engagement does not require continuous escalation. Chaos Insurgency actively attacking the site are permitted to fire on Security at will, if already engaging. Non-Combatants are exempt and must require escalation. This can be in the form of ordering them to hit the ground or obey a demand; If they attempt to run or refuse, you may begin hostile action.
 * SCPs such as 173, 096, 106, and etcetera are not required to escalate. SCPs such as SCP-049 and SCP-247 must produce some form of escalation unless otherwise engaging actively with security. Refer to the SCP Wiki page for more information.

7. Survive

 * You want to survive and serve the foundation typically as a baseline, Class-Ds may ignore this as they are already treated as inhuman by the foundation and do not have to serve them.

8. Antagonists

 * Antagonists can reasonably ignore most escalation rules but they may not just silently rampage, for example if you found yourself with a commander alone and vulnerable you may take the opportunity and kill them. But if you had to kill most of the security staff and command staff just to kill them, you should not as that would leave yourself without any line of defense against SCPs as well, and at the end of the day you want to survive and complete your mission.
 * Use your antagonist status as a challenge, not just an opportunity to powertrip and kill all those around you.

9. Admin Discretion

 * Some admins may rule differently and punish more harshly or not as harshly as other admins. If you believe you've been wronged, make a ticket to send a abuse report and it will be looked into.
 * Rules may be changed at any time and are just a baseline as this server becomes more popular and we work on it.

10. Toxicity

 * No slurs, hate speech, or toxicity. Do not attempt to harass other members. You will be warned at first, but may get banned if you continue.

11. SCP Termination

 * You may not terminate a SCP without permission from the O5 Council. Failure to do this will land you a warning.

12. Character Rules

 * Characters must have appropriate names (First / Last) and must be realistic. "Hugh Jass" is an example of an unauthorized name.
 * IC Interactions must be free of memes and meta information including dialogue and emotes. Flavortext must be purely physical.
 * All members of the foundation are required to be sane and competent enough to be allowed to perform their job. You will not be hired as a schizophrenic psychopath. D-Class have leeway with this rule but are not allowed to use it as an excuse to outright murder others, and must have a minimum sanity to comprehend what is going on around them
 * Personnel who are not security members may not freely engage in dangerous combat. You are required to attempt a chance at escape, and use fighting as a last resort. Exceptions apply to personnel who have good reason such as the Site Director opening fire on an infiltrator (reasonably escalated) who is threatening to take his ID which is considered highly dangerous if captured
 * Your knowledge of SCPs and Foundation Info is limited to your characters access level. Class-C should have little to no knowledge of SCPs unless it is directly related to their department. LCZ Security would know of all SCPs within their zone and proper containment procedures. Learning from previous rounds does not count towards your characters knowledge.

Index of Policies
Policies serve as extensions of the rules, and exist to prevent bloating the rules page. Ignorance of a policy is not an excuse to ignore/break it.

Foundation Security Guidelines
In-game rules regarding RP. Separate from main rules to remove bloat.

Admin Conduct
Conduct we expect from admins acting in an official capacity both in and out of the servers. If you have concerns with an admin violating any of this, make a complaint on the discord.
