| - | Sessions will be on PROBABLY TUESDAYS in A PLACE (see [[When and Where]]). Players can arrive from 7:00pm, and we will aim to time in at 7:30pm. | + | Sessions will be on Tuesday evenings, venue TBC (see [[When and Where]]). Players can arrive up to half an hour before time in, which will be at 7:30pm or 8:00pm (we will confirm this when we confirm the venue). |
| In character, the sessions are regular meetings for the newly created Workgroup Zero in which prisoners are assigned their tasks for the next two months. When the prison is operating normally, these tasks will generally be split between domestic duties, maintenance of the prison, and the unending list of jobs needed to prepare the site for real colonists. During the game, the tasks you are assigned are likely to be more interesting. | In character, the sessions are regular meetings for the newly created Workgroup Zero in which prisoners are assigned their tasks for the next two months.

| - | During the session, from the point where TIME IN is called (at or close to 7:30pm) to the point where TIME OUT is called (at 10:00pm), players will be talking and roleplaying in character, and the GMs will be playing their NPCs, or patrolling as generic guards. | + | During the session, from the point where TIME IN is called to the point where TIME OUT is called (at 10:00pm or 10:30pm, TBC), players will be talking and roleplaying in character, and the GMs will be playing their NPCs, or patrolling as generic guards. |

| - | Agressive or violent action is not possible during the meetings. There are automated systems which will activate the control collars if a prisoner attempts to strike another person, or activate combat cybernetics. OC, this means that if you would strike another character (or even make a fake strike which stops short of hitting them), or activate any cybernetic weapons, you will immediately take a FREEZE call. This system cannot be circumvented by any means in character, even if you otherwise gain RESIST to the FREEZE call, as it is out-of-character essential for the GMs to be able to run the sessions. | + | Agressive or violent action is not possible during the meetings.

OC, this means that if you would strike another character (or even make a fake strike which stops short of hitting them), or activate any cybernetic weapons, you will immediately take the effect of a PARALYSE call, which will last for 5 seconds (you do not need to actually make the call).

| It may occasionally be possible to set up actions to trigger during session (e.g. set a bomb in an adjacent building with a timer set to go off during the meeting). Please explicitly highlight in your turnsheet that you are attempting to do this, and include a contingency plan for the case where we do not allow you to. | It may occasionally be possible to set up actions to trigger during session (e.g. set a bomb in an adjacent building with a timer set to go off during the meeting).

| ===== Calls ===== | ===== Calls ===== | ||
| - | Throughout session, a variety of calls may be used by GMs. As a player, you may not make these calls unless told otherwise (with the exception of the "escalation" calls, which any player may use during any interaction). You may roleplay these calls as you see fit, with regard to safety and noise levels of the room (e.g. move to a position where you won't fall over if hit by a FREEZE, and do not scream your lungs out if hit by a REND). | + | Throughout session, a variety of calls may be used by GMs. As a player, you may not make these calls unless told otherwise (with the exception of the "escalation" calls, which any player may use during any interaction).
