Template:AntagonistStandards

Antagonists are the primary driving force behind action aboard the station. Assistants too.

You're not expected to win; do not expect it, just have fun with it.

Plan to be a friendly antagonist? It is allowed on any chaos level, but doing so does not grant you protection by staff in-case you are killed or arrested, due to the chaos of the rounds, it's tough for us to allow this with protection. The best time to be a friendly antagonist is during 'Extended' when you AHelp or make an OpFor, by doing so if it is accepted, you are granted protection by staff so long as you don't act hostile.

These are the standards all antagonists need to follow, if you are looking for the OpFor guidelines, please look here.

If you do not require a body mechanically, leave it alone if they died somewhere open, otherwise if you kill them somewhere they will not be recoverable from, you need to move them back to a safe position for the crew to recover.

Planning on round-removing (otherwise known as RR) someone? First check if they have RR set to 'On', if they do, then once they are dead you are free to RR them, if they have it set otherwise, then you must make sure their body is recoverable in some way.

When you lose a fight, don't resort to being salty and insulting people in L/OOC or OOC.

You are not entitled to getting AHealed by staff and it is at the discretion of the staff member on duty.

Your goal should never be the dismantling, destruction or mass murder of the entire station, unless otherwise stated by your natural goals or role.

The interlink and infi-dorms are protected from anything relating to antagonists, do not use it as a hideout or to complete your objectives.

When giving yourself custom objectives, make sure they are clear and specific objectives that have a certain goal in mind, vague and wildcard objectives will not be tolerated.

Marooning someone does not mean you can murder them multiple times or RR them if their preferences are set to 'Off', if your target has RR set to 'Off' you can AHelp to have your target changed.

Using ERP as bait before killing someone is not allowed unless both parties consented through L/OOC.

False-flagging is not allowed, if you tell people you will be friendly, do not turn around and murder them for no reason.

As an antagonist, if you are being pursued¹ by people hunting you, then you cannot leave the station Z-level, this includes lavaland.

^{1 - This is when either the station crew is running after the antagonist or the antagonist has just recently (up to a hour) committed a crime that would have caught crews attention but is not being chased.}

While you are an antagonist, you are not allowed to go out into space to loot ruins.

Caught someone as an abductor? Already made some eggs as a spider? Follow these rules:

Roleplay (otherwise known as RP) will take priority over mechanics. If you want to RP with someone in any capacity during captivity and they agree, then you are entitled to RP it out. Valid-hunting or otherwise interrupting the scene is punishable.

If you require bodies mechanically, you can hold them up to 15 minutes without crew knowing their location, after which you no longer mechanically need the body and follow the general guidelines on holding bodies (although this is a loose rule and it may or may not be enforced depending on the scenario). Do not guard bodies from recovery, crew must be allowed to recover it or else it is counted as RR.

Got captured and it has been over 15 minutes and nobody is coming to get you? Make an AHelp and staff will look over the situation and decide on the next action.

Use common sense, roleplaying in the middle of a hallway as an antagonist will result in crew murdering you. Take it to somewhere private to avoid getting hunted by the crew.
