New Negotiation Guidelines, Interrogation Rules and Kidnapping Rules
- 2.4(a) Kidnapping Rules;
- When a faction member is kidnapped, they must have intentions for the hostage such as execution, interrogation, or making demands to the opposing faction for profit. The hostage's life should always be valued and the opposing faction must make a good plan to get the hostage back. A hostage may only be kidnapped for a total of 30 minutes if no action is taken. If action is being taken then they may be held for longer (eg. ongoing negotiations)
- 2.4(b) Negotiation Guidelines;
- Hostages are to be negotiated for where possible, the Hostage Negotiation Guidelines are to be followed during any scenario whereby a player or SCP is held for ransom.
- 2.4(c) Interrogation Rules;
- INTEL/MTF/GOC/CI have control over another faction's prisoner within their own base and have the power to delegate interrogation or negotiations. During interrogation they may ask 3 questions; for each question asked an interrogator and the prisoner being interrogated must /roll 100 and the interrogator must use /me to describe the interrogation method. If the interrogator rolls higher the prisoner must tell the truth. If the prisoner rolls higher they may say whatever they wish as long as it does not break server rules. Interrogators may not ask the same question more than once.
- No codewords/phrases allowed.
- Interrogators may not ask the same question more than once, while they are following this rule.
- After the 3 questions are asked, with the use of /roll, the interrogation may continue as normal and within the confines of RP.
