MISSION CRITICAL: The following regulations apply to all SG-23 personnel. Violations may result in disciplinary action or reassignment. COMPLIANCE IS MANDATORY.

• Character Control: Only write for your own PC, your Linked NPCs (Secondaries), and Public/Unlinked NPCs. Do not control other players' characters unless you have explicit permission via Discord or Nova DM. If permission is granted, include an OOC note at the bottom of the joint post.
• No Metagaming: Do not use out-of-character knowledge to give your player characters in-game knowledge they would not otherwise possess. Your character knows only what they've experienced or been told IC.
• No God Syndrome: Stay true to your character's biography. Do not spontaneously generate new skills, talents, or abilities to solve a crisis or gain an unfair advantage. If you want your character to learn something new, develop it through RP.
• OOC Drama Stays Out: We aim to build a strong SG-23 team, but recognize not everyone will get along perfectly. Keep personal conflicts out of the sim and off public Discord. If you experience bullying or intimidation from another player, contact the GMs immediately via Nova DM.

MISSION STATEMENT: This sim is a safe space where Black, Brown, and all LGBTQ+ persons can feel included and able to explore their own stories. We recognize that eliminating prejudice is an ongoing process that requires effort from all of us.

• Zero Tolerance for OOC Prejudice: Out-of-character prejudice toward players, whether direct or indirect, will not be tolerated. We approach offenders with understanding and allow for restorative justice, but there are limits.
• Consequences for Serious Violations: Willful, repetitive, or blatantly offensive actions will result in removal from the sim. Before that point, we prefer to talk and foster understanding among diverse groups.
• Best Intentions Required: Please approach this game with your best intentions toward those different from you. We're all here to have fun and tell great stories together.

MINIMUM POSTING FREQUENCY:

• Non-Chief Characters: One (1) post per month for main characters and personal NPCs. Joint posts count toward this requirement.
• Chief/Department Head Characters: Two (2) posts per month minimum. Leadership positions require higher activity.
• Personal Logs: Optional and do not count toward posting requirements. Feel free to use them for character development.
• Active Mission Participation: If you're tagged in a post or mission, please respond consistently. Your team needs you! Don't leave your teammates hanging.
