Civil Protection Rundown

This page contains rules and general advice for Civil Protection characters.

To ensure your success in this Civil Protection, please have a clear understanding of this page.

Regulations

Failure to adhere to these rules will result in your Civil Protection whitelist being potentially being revoked/suspended.

If you are unsure about a rule, ask a staff member or a more senior unit.

1. Metagaming with Biopad (such as guessing someones CID or their name to assign them points.)

2. Do not confiscate/steal items that are not classified as a contraband.

3. Confiscated contraband must be destroyed.

4. Do not leave any sort of item laying around in Command Points, or any other Overwatch area, including the armory.

5. Do not give away items to other characters. This also means you cannot have business transactions.

6. You are not allowed to use your medical supplies on citizens.Remember, you are not there to save Citizens, you are there to ensure the city remains socio-stable. 
   That being said, you are allowed to use your medical supplies to ensure an individual does not abruptly die middle of their sentence.

7. Do not deviate from civic data entry format. We like to keep the data entries organized and it is there for a reason.

8. Designating individuals as BOL/ANTI-CITIZEN/DETAINED requires you to follow civic data entry format. 

9. Your character description must consist of one or two full sentences at most, and must hint your anonymity.

10. Do not go AFK for longer than 10 minutes, and never AFK outside the Command Point. If you have something to do then flag off.

11. You are responsible for those you cycle. Ensure that they are processed when their time is up. Do not disconnect/char swap without letting other units know.

General Information

Civil Protection members obtain rank and armaments through sterilized credits. Sterilized credits are retrieved from their hourly rations, or given by unit in charge.

Aside from the faction regulations, Civil Protection units are also required to follow the civil codes.

Certain actions could result in you losing sterilized credits, rank or worse, de-serviced.

Civil Protection is a faction where you will grasp the fundamentals of it by playing as one. Therefore, i5 units are generally expected to make mistakes and learn from the more senior units.

Below are some of the most common ways to earn disciplinary actions.
Note that this is not a full list, but a mere summary

14 VERBAL INDISCRETION - Not following cohesive chatter protocols

Verbal indiscretion is given if you do not keep your radio communications short and concise. 
You may also receive this violation if you do not make use of codes, terminologies and designations when communicating.
Example: Typing out "I am going off duty" as opposed to "Unit is 10-7" will earn you a 14.
Do not use terms such as "I, me, my". Refer to yourself as unit, officer, or your tagline.
Avoid any type of personification in your comms.
Refer to city scanners as either AIRWATCH, disp, or dispatch.
Remember, typing out 10-76 is faster than typing "On my way" and so is 11-6 as opposed to saying "Shots fired"

99 RECKLESS OPERATION - Failure to complete an important task correctly

Not pacifying a citizen when they are being brought in or out of Command Points.
Not following residential block inspection/raid policies
Not being a part of PT before exiting Command Points.
Not using detainment block terminals when cycling prisoners.
Not adhering to 94 Protocols
Entering restricted blocks/infested zones without perms
Failure to follow breaching procedures
And the list goes on..

Rank Structure

We employ the Intention(INT) rank system.

We consider every unit to be equal, and everyone is classified as a ground unit.

There is no calling people sir or any form of saluting, no matter their intention/rank.

You will receive sterilized credits along with your hourly ration, these points will allow you to upgrade your intention and purchase equipment.

Units that are i2 or higher are classified as a TAG (Tactical Aid Group) units. If TAG units are being called upon, you must respond with your MP7.

Every unit performs same duties, but units such as Rank Leader (RL) are responsible for making judgement calls, initiating inspections, authorizing raids and requesting Socio-stability changes.
