? Rules Changes ?
Throughout this month, many rules have been either updated, added, or removed! Those include extra clarification on PAC3 rules, and others.
Updated;- Updated 5.1 - All PAC3 creations must fit within the lore of SCP-RP. ‘Excessive’ PACs (ones that go far beyond what is considered reasonable in RP) must be justified and approved in the Character Bios section with the PAC request tag. This is designed so that we can ensure you are using your PAC to create roleplay, with an interesting backstory.
- Updated 5.2 - Creations must not contain any items that cause offense or harm.
- Updated 5.3 - You can only change the height of your character using “Size” and the value may only be between 1 and 1.1.
- Updated 5.4 - PACs may have modified body mass, however it must be proportionate to realistic proportions i.e. having extremely thin legs and excessively large arms is not permitted.
- Updated 5.5 - All PACs should fit the role specified, i.e. a D-Class would not wear a tuxedo nor would a researcher wear combat attire.
- Updated 5.6 - PACs may use sound as long as it is conducive to roleplay, is not spammed, does not cause issues with volume or content, and has a reasonable sound distance, there are no instances where a sound should be heard map wide, across floors or through multiple walls.
- Updated 5.7 - PACs may not be massively oversized or have excessive movement of props that contribute to lag.
- Updated - 3.2(b) Foundation Raiding - Alpha-1 may not leave their bunks for 1 minute on death whilst CI are raiding floor 3. Additionally, Omega-1 may not leave their bunks for 1 minute on death whilst CI are raiding the Ethics Committee
Added;- Added 5.8 - Weapons may not be re-skinned or changed to look like a different type of weapon.
- Added 5.9 - Animations - PAC animations can be used without approval, however they must be appropriate for roleplay, and not contribute to lag or be used excessively.
- Added 5.10 Lights - PACs may utilize lights however they must not be excessively bright and they are prohibited from having shadows enabled.
- Added 5.11 Authorisations - If a PAC has been approved for one player, this does not automatically approve it for others. ‘Excessive’ PACs must undergo the process in 5.1 again.
- Added 5.12 - SCP PACs are allowed for RP purposes, however must maintain the logic and integrity of the character being played i.e. SCP-999 cannot look like a humanoid, these must be approved by a member of SL in game for the scenario presented.
Staff Rulings;- Added - 1.15 Resisting 035 - You are not allowed to resist SCP-035's control.
- Added - 1.16 Use of Cyanide / Bleach - Taking Cyanide or Bleach to avoid an arrest is FailRP.
- Added - 4.01 Blindfolds - You are still subject to FearRP, if you've been placed under FearRP and blindfolded.
- Removed - 1.08 Job Abuse - You're not allowed to swap onto an SCP for someone to breach you.
