As an employee of Nanotrasen you should want to keep your job, but are not required to be fanatically loyal towards them. Follow '''[[Escalation Policy]]''' in any altercations and ensure that your character's actions make sense when they may be detrimental to the station or other crew.

			Roles which are hostile to the station according to escalation policy may ignore this rule entirely.

	#Antagonists are free to complete their ~~objective~~ by any means available, ~~within reason~~.		#Antagonists are free to complete their objectives by any reasonable means available
	#*For example, destroying large amounts of the ~~station is reasonable if~~ your objective is ~~to hijack~~ the ~~shuttle; it is not acceptable as a distraction if your~~ objective ~~is to steal the station's blueprints~~.		##You may pre-emptively eliminate official, and acting, members of security. (See 3.3)
	#*~~If an antagonist would like~~ to ~~trade out their objectives for~~ a ~~custom gimmick, they can do so by opening an ahelp and requesting it. ''Note: Requests are not guaranteed~~ to ~~be accepted~~. ~~All requests fall under admin discretion.''~~		##You may pre-emptively eliminate crew who are members of the department in which your objective is permanently situated in. (See 3.3)
	#~~Murderboning is~~ not ~~permitted unless approved by~~ an ~~admin directly~~ (~~Murderboning is defined as the indiscriminate killing of multiple parties~~ who ~~are~~ not ~~a threat~~)		##Pre-emptive eliminations must be performed through low impact methods.
	#*~~Intentionally creating additional witnesses as an excuse~~ to ~~kill them will~~ be ~~considered murderboning~~.		##Antagonists may perform high impact actions strictly when that action results in the immediate completion of an objective.
	#*Isolated killings and kills that ~~reasonably assist with~~ your ~~objectives are~~ not ~~murderboning~~.		##High impact actions are any actions which:
	#*Security may be ~~considered a threat and may be pre~~-~~emptively eliminated~~ without ~~provocation~~, ~~but~~ low-~~collateral methods must~~ be ~~used to eliminate~~ them. ~~Bombing~~ the ~~security wing is~~ not ~~considered~~ low-~~collateral~~.		##*Put in additional, unreasonable, and unnecessary effort to make a victim impossible to recover.
	#*Crew inside a department in ~~which you must complete~~ an ~~objective may be considered~~ a ~~threat and pre-emptively eliminated without provocation~~.		##*Intends to cause, or results in, the death of a large number of bystanders (3 or more non-targets). Victims who do not make an attempt at self-preservation do not count towards this (Crew who do not flee from obvious bomb-threats do not count).
	#*Some roles are granted an exception to this rule~~, please consult the~~ [[Escalation Policy#Species and Faction Escalation\|Species and Faction Escalation table]] ~~on the escalations page for more information.~~		##*Results in damage to a department that is difficult to repair and causes the department to be unable to perform its normal duties.
	~~# Check the individual game mode pages for specific rules relating to that mode. You can see a full list of active modes on the [[Game Mode]] page.~~		#Eliminating non-target crew in a way that does not directly serve your objective is usually not permitted. (Also see 3.1 and 3.2)
			##Witnesses who are actively reporting your actions or location may be eliminated through low-impact means without punishment, if you act immediately (See 4.4).
			##Eliminating witnesses through low-impact means is allowed when the action being witnessed is in a low-traffic area.
			##Survivors to a high-impact event may not be eliminated as a result of being a witness, unless killing them would otherwise be allowed by 4.1 or 4.5.
			##Where allowed, the elimination of witnesses must be acted upon immediately. You may not hunt down a witness who previously escaped you, unless they return to the same location while you are performing the action which they reported you for.
			##Acting in self-defence (See escalation policy) through low-impact is always allowed, even if you are performing antagonistic actions in a public space.
			##The isolated killing of non-targets through low-collateral means in an attempt to pursue a gimmick is allowed.
			#Some roles are granted an exception to this rule (See [[Escalation Policy#Species and Faction Escalation\|Species and Faction Escalation table]])
