Question | Official Admin Ruling | Core Rule Number |
Can I use a non-English language IC? | Yes, as long as it's not being done to rule skirt, coordinate plans, or give yourself an advantage over other players. If there are questions about the nature of non-English communications, admins reserve the right to assume rule skirting occurred. | 0.1: Rule skirting |
Can I put drugs in food, smoke machines, or otherwise trick/force people into taking drugs as a non-antag? | No. All drugs should be clearly labeled. There are different factors that impact ODs, and the effects can be an epilepsy trigger. | 2: Self-antag |
Can I work in other departments without a job change? | Filling in for other departments (when the servers population is low for example) or during times of emergency is acceptable when the department is derelict - i.e. science has no one doing a job (no scientists doing research in each subdepartment) or they get added to that department by a head (not themselves) and it is reflected on their ID. | 1: MRP server |
Can I pick one job roundstart for its unique characteristics and change jobs? | Although it is always acceptable to seek IC job changes, please be considerate of other players when signing up for positions with unique roundstart abilities if you do not wish to play them as intended. Choosing a roleplay role for the sole purpose of obtaining the profession’s quirks is not allowed. For example, signing up to play chaplain for the ability to bless water after you change jobs to chemistry takes a chaplain spot away from players who are interested in role-playing as a chaplain. Repeated offenses may result in a job ban. | 1.1: MRP |
Can non-antags use antag gear? | If it’s lethal or threatens station integrity, no. It should be sequestered in the contraband locker in the armory. If not, (e.g. armor), its use must be approved by the captain or the Head of Security before using it. | 2: Self-antag |
Can people play prisoner just to escape? | No. Prisoner is a RP role or a role for beginners to learn some simple mechanics without any expectations. Escaping at roundstart or without good reason is self-antag and against the rules. However, if there is a valid reason (Perma becoming too dangerous or security ignoring you entirely, for example) you may escape. | 2: Self-antag |
Can command give special permission for non-security crew to valid hunt (deputize)? | No. Crew members are allowed to transfer into security with the HoS's authorization but cannot be given permission to valid hunt while retaining their previous job. This does not apply to delta-level threats. An exception to this is chaplains on cult rounds. | 2: Valid Hunting |
Can you use mindreading to out changelings? | Yes, but don't hunt after them if non-sec | 2: Valid hunting |
What constitutes sexual content? | Anything that is, or could be assumed to be, erotic content. This includes copy pastas (like Woody’s Got Wood), any references to rape or sexual assault IC. Crude comments are generally fine, but you will be expected to stop if asked by a mod. On Discord, these rules will apply to players' profile pictures and about me descriptions. | 3: Sexual Content |
How far is too far for IC discrimination? | Nothing that impedes a player's ability to play a round. Killing, assaulting, and excessive insubordination/ harassment all fall under this. | 5: sub-species discrimination |
Can I stream while on the server? | Yes, but you should have a 1 minute delay and alert admins before you begin streaming | -- |
Is it okay to tell someone I reported them IC? | While there may be reasons to inform others about admin interactions in-game or to remind other players of the rules, threatening or implying that you will ahelp another player's behavior in order to get out of an arrest or to coerce another player is considered metagaming. | 2: Metagaming |
Question | Official Admin Ruling | Subsection Rule Number |
Do you keep the memories of who killed you? | As long as you are in the same brain, yes. The only exception is pod people, which also keep memories from a previous life. Ghost spawners like positronic brains and golems do not keep memories of the previous life. | 2 |
Question | Official Admin Ruling | Subsection Rule Number |
Are mimes who speak/clowns without shoes valid? | No | 1 |
What constitutes removing someone from the round? | Destroying the body in any way or making them unrevivable (SM dusting, cremating, ling absorbing, throwing in lava) or makes it nearly impossible for them to be recovered (spacing a body, throwing it in lavaland wastes, throwing them deep into maints without their jumpsuits, decapitation). | 3 |
Is hiding a body in maint removing someone from the round? | You’re fine to hide a body in maint (including in a locker) as long as they have their jumpsuits on. If they don’t have their jumpsuits, leave them somewhere that would be easily discoverable (e.g. within a few tiles of a hallway airlock). Bodies should not be taken to the mining base or other locations outside the range of the suit sensors. | 3 |
Question | Official Admin Ruling | Subsection Rule Number |
Can you debrain (or otherwise kill) people to test if they are a ling? | No, it's an exploit | Core 2: exploiting |
Can you check players for implants/cursed hearts/ hold them until sol? | Only if there is reasonable suspicion that they are a specific antag. Someone existing in maints or committing minor crimes is not sufficient reason to intentionally check for these things. | Core 2: metagaming |
Which antags are valid for immediate execution or gibbing? | Antags that are too hard to contain are valid to be immediately executed. The following antags are considered too hard to contain: Changelings, bloodsuckers, heretics, all delta-level threat antags, as well as any perma'd antags that have already escaped containment. | 4.3: Executions |
Can security allow lings to help them in exchange for their objectives? | It’s fine for steal objectives with the proper head’s approval (e.g. don’t offer the hypospray without checking with the CMO first). Sec cannot allow lings to absorb non-lings for ling targets | 4.2 |
Are blobs considered sapient? | Generally, player-controlled mobs should be considered sapient. | 5 |
When is lethal force permissible on the evac shuttle? | Security may execute crew members on the shuttle who are engaging in behaviors that are likely to lead to the destruction or de-pressurization of the shuttle during evacuation. This includes trespassing into the cockpit, dragging welding tanks and hazardous atmospherics canisters into the shuttle, spawning hostile mobs (including monkeys and other "retaliate" mobs) and throwing bluespace items at other crew members. These are against the rules in most cases and should be ahelped as well. | 4 |
Question | Official Admin Ruling | Subsection Rule Number |
Can I hijack without a hijack goal? | No, it will be considered kill baiting | 1.1 |
Can you help another traitor with hijack? | Yes, but ahelp to confirm the other party actually has hijack | Antag RP standards 2 |
Can antags kill HoP/ Captain to gain AA even if they’re not objectives? | Yes, but don't remove them from the round | 1.2 |
Can antags hand out AA? | Yes, but only to other antags, not the whole crew | 1.4 |
Can I sabotage the station to force an early shuttle call to complete an “escape alive” objective? | No | 1.4 |
Can I suicide/ SSD as a team antag? | No. Ahelp to be offered up to ghosts. Alternatively, ask for a role-specific antag ban. | 2 |
I got Romerol/Explosives/etc on a surplus crate but it does not align with my goals. Can I use it? |
No. Surplus is a gamble for more gear that you opt-in to do and that might result in gear that has no use for you. | 1.1 |
Can I kill a department head for their high-risk item if it’s an objective?
Department heads whose high-risk item is a traitor objective are valid to be killed, but not removed from a round:
Captain | Hand Teleporter, Captain's antique laser gun, Nuke Disk, Medal of Captaincy, Captain’s Jetpack |
Research Director | Reactive teleport armor, Hand Teleporter |
Chief Medical Officer | Hypospray |
Chief Engineer | CE's Mag Boots, Station Blueprint |
Head of Security | HoS’s laser gun, Ablative Trenchcoat |
Head of Personnel: | Secret Documents, Plutonium Core |
Warden: | Ablative Trenchcoat |
Quartermaster | Secret Documents, Plutonium Core |
An antag can kill a corresponding department member for access if necessary for steal or kill objects as well as the following objectives:
Science: | xenobio slimes, plasma mols |
Engineering: | SM sliver, black box, plasma mols |
Question | Official Admin Ruling | Subsection Rule Number |
Can lings help with a hijack objective? | Lings should prioritize their own objectives/ the objectives of other lings before helping regular traitors. Any help they provide shouldn’t be at the cost of other lings (without an absorb a ling objective). The lings should ahelp to confirm the traitor actually has hijack before assisting | Antag RP standards 2 |
Can lings help security? | Generally, no per antag RP standard 2. Unless they have an absorb a ling objective, there’s absolutely no reason to help security. Even with that objective, there’s no reason to out the entire ling team and may result in an antag ban | Antag RP standards 2 |
Can I kill other lings with the “absorb more DNA than any other ling” objective? | Antag 1 |
Question | Official Admin Ruling | Subsection Rule Number |
Can nightmares use tools? | Using simple tools or other things around the station is fine. Using machines or consoles is not. Destroying consoles and machines is fine. E.g. smashing the deadly viruses in the viro storage is fine. Making your own virus is not. | -- |
Are friendly wizards valid for crew? | Wizards are required to ahelp to request permission for any non-hostile gimmicks. If permission is granted, there will be an announcement about a friendly wizard on station. If there is no announcement, “friendly” wizards are still valid. | Core 2: Valid hunting |
Are xenos valid for crew? | Yes, with the exception of those contained in xenobio | Guide on acceptable killing |
Can abductors steal gear from the crew they abduct? | No, abductors may not take gear from the crew they abduct. Taking things from the station itself (as long as it isn't off of a person) for a justifiable reason is fine. | – |
Question | Official Admin Ruling |
The round restarted. Can I have an antag token? | Antag tokens do not exist on Fulp. Harassing staff for antag tokens is not appropriate. Do not use ahelps to ask to become an antag as it clutters the tickets. Repeated use of ahelps for this purpose is considered abuse of the system and may result in a ban. Praying for antag status is acceptable, but rule 8.1 still applies if a moderator has not solicited prayers to assign antags. |
