TRAVEL GUIDE

LOCATION TRAVERSAL RULES AND CONDITIONS

• Unless provoked, any directly hostile/vilified faction towards the Chromeskulls (almost exclusively Union/"Corporate" entities) such as the Northeastern Union (NEU/USRF), Great Lakes Coalition-East (Bargetown/GLA) and New Model Army (MWU/NMA) should be exclusively avoided or "positively" (non-aggressively) interacted with while partaking in a startup/host in the same server.

  • "Corporate" groups or opposing gangs (Architects/Many Men respectively) fall under the same guidelines, but in most situations are O.K. to interactive with more extensively (cordial trade, minor interaction) 

  • Chromeskulls are not allowed to enter hostile/vilified faction central locations (eg. Black Mountain Complex, Bargetown, Southpoint Estate/Village, etc...), as their heavy fortification and overwatch- alongside often having anti-Chromeskull laws and rules- make entering them nigh-on impossible.

• Chromeskulls are allowed to enter hostile/vilified faction's minor locations (eg. Affiliated Townships [Trade Zone Minnow, Monroe's Ferry], trade zones, etc...) and friendly/allied faction's central/minor locations (eg. Alumni Campus, Voyageur's Cave and cells, etc...) with the only stipulation being that while inside any hostile/vilified faction's locations, you are required to remove all identification- conceal all concealable prosthetics, and not actively announce yourself in affiliation to the Chromeskulls- as it runs a high risk of you being found out and captured.

  • • This stipulation also applies to any CRH-startup that include a variant of the rule "off-duty faction members allowed."

• Chromeskulls are (now) permitted to travel across both the Northern and Southern islands, with the exclusion of Windernola and any smaller- unnamed islands.

  • All biomass locations (excluding Nowhere) are completely off limits outside of sanctioned Chromeskull events.

  • Disguises are also encouraged, as they reduce the chance of you being discovered signifigantly while traveling.

BARGETOWN CONDITIONS

• Following an IC under-the-table agreement with Bargetown and Hamilton, Chromeskulls have been quietly unbanned from the scraptown

  • To go into Bargetown as a Chromeskull, you must be undercover and without any visible identification (armbands, etc...)

  • You are encouraged to go to Bargetown when you have an idea of what you're planning to do; rather than just going for the sake of it

• Corruption is rampant in Bargetown; so it's encouraged that you make use of it when in an uncomfortable situation

"UNIVERSAL" SPONTANEOUS SKIRMISH RULES

Universal spontaneous skirmish rules for any hostile/vilified factions include:

• Default PTSK and PTC (APTSK/APTK and APTC should both sides OOCly agree to it.)

• Default combat styles of DTB, with a fall back on D20 or another mutually agreed upon combat type.

  • IMRS "X.0" (varies) can be utilized as well should both parties agree to it. IMRS in any capacity should have at least one Flashstorm-affiliated community moderator (Junior Moderator+) in attendance, to make sure that no rules are being broken.

• Gear should be relatively-balanced, meaning that not one side or the other has gear that exceeds the reasonable limitations of the spontaneous skirmish (only what characters have on them, etc....)

• Faction staff (MR+/SR+ depending on attendees) from both parties are required to supervise any spontaneous skirmishes should they be kept to DTB/D20, with IMRS "X.0" (varies) requiring at least one Flashstorm-affiliated moderator (Junior Moderator+) to oversee (as previously stated.)

  • Any additional rules of engagement (ROE (such as Southpoint State's compound conversion clause)) can be found in the "ROE" section of the opposing factions description, in the diplomacy page.

• Backup from either side is completely disallowed, meaning neither side can call for reinforcements in an IC-communications chat, hosting-hosting adjacent chat or otherwise. You are stuck with the amount of people who arrived/joined during the planning time.
