'''DO NOT:'''
 
*Share any in-character information in OOC or over IRC (Be careful what you say here. It's extremely easy to spoil the round type to everyone, this can and will result in a ban. See [[Terminology#IC_in_OOC|IC in OOC]]).

Being extremely non-robust is likely to make you only be in the way, making it more difficult for the competent security staff.)
*If you get killed, don't complain in OOC. If you feel the kill was unjust, use [[Adminhelp]]. (Same reason and the first one.)
