	== C3. ~~Follow Antagonist Guidelines~~ ==
	~~Through engaging~~ in ~~antagonistic activity,~~ you should ~~seek~~ to make ~~the round~~ more ~~engaging and fun as the primary driver of~~ the narrative ~~of a round~~. ~~Succeeding as~~ an antagonist ~~should not be your goal, but rather telling the most interesting story for everyone involved~~.		== C3.

Through roleplay~~, ~~damage becomes~~ more ~~proportional~~.~~''' Example: Holding~~ the ~~singulo hostage for a theft objective is acceptable~~, ~~while simply singuloosing~~ and ~~using that chaos is unacceptable~~.		By picking an antagonist role you are accepting that you will be expected to be a driving force in the round’s narrative . This means that you should generally try to stick to the expectations of your antagonist role. Deviations are allowed with sufficient roleplay and in-character justification, especially when done to make your impact and role more interesting to the greater narrative.
	:* ~~Killing players unrelated to your immediate objective in a manner that results in their round removal should be avoided~~. ~~Crew that do not make an attempt at self preservation, or engage in valid-hunting, are exempt from this~~.
	:* ~~If you are concerned as to whether or not~~ what ~~you're about~~ to ~~do is allowed~~, ~~feel free to AHelp~~ and ~~ask an admin for clarification~~. ~~'''Lack of administrator response does not constitute approval~~.~~'''~~		Players are free to ahelp and request other players to receive an antagonist status when they have rolled an antagonist role by accident.
	* Other antagonists are not necessarily your friends. ~~Other~~ antagonists ~~are often free agents that you may negotiate with at your own risk.~~		Given objectives are never mandatory to follow, and act as more of a general suggestion and guideline to your role. Players have the freedom to come up with, and modify their own objectives. Modified or replaced objectives must:
	~~:* If you are~~ a team antagonist, you must ~~work with~~ your ~~partners to complete any shared objectives~~.
	* No antagonist ~~may loiter or camp around~~ the ~~arrivals~~ or ~~cryosleep areas of~~ the ~~station for the purposes~~ of ~~antagonist action towards newly-spawning players.~~		* Follow proper escalation (Review [[#Rule_B1.4._Escalate_appropriately\|B1.4]]).
	* All antagonists on the evacuation shuttle~~, besides station-destroying antags like nukies, may not utilize explosives~~ or ~~other tactics that could result in unreasonable amounts of collateral damage~~.		* Be within what would reasonably be expected of your role.
	* Antagonists ~~should not seek~~ to ~~extend the length of~~ the round ~~unreasonably~~.		* Aim to create an interesting story, and engage with the crew.
	* Antagonists may not ~~bring~~ the ~~round to~~ a ~~close without in-character~~ or ~~objective-related justification as a result of their antagonistic action. While this is largely subjective because different command may react differently~~, ~~it's important~~ to ~~not engage in potentially round-ending behavior without reason~~.		* Be sufficiently backed by roleplay justification.

			=== Rule C3.1: Team antagonists ===

			When playing a team antagonist you must assist your team if possible through gameplay, roleplay, or other methods. Completely disengaging from the team antagonist on both a gameplay and roleplay level is prohibited. Leaving the game via cryosleep or disconnecting is explicitly allowed, as long as an attempt to reduce the negative impact on your team is made, such as handing over important gear, ahelping, etc.

			=== Rule C3.2: End of round griefing ===

			Antagonists should avoid completeting objectives on the evacuation shuttle or at midpoint.

			<span style="color:red;">Antagonists are explicitly prohibited from causing damage to the evacuation shuttle or midpoint.</span>
			Unless: they are a round ending antagonist, and doing so would contribute to their objectives.

			Examples of justified EORG could be but are not limited to: nukies retrieving the disk from a docked or departing evac, dragons storming evac to collect bodies, and xenoborgs collecting brains from crew attempting to leave via evac.

			Whether or not a person is "authorized" to change your laws or not depends on the context of the laws. Generally speaking, on lawsets like NT Default or Corporate, ''the captain, mystagogue, and chief engineer'' would be authorized. However, lawsets like Syndiemov would have ''syndicate agents'' be the authorized users. Outside of these specific examples, it is left to interpretation.
