Guards

An Officer is a playable role of a prison guard. Officers have a set list of rules to follow and tasks to complete, involving maintaining peace within the prison and hunting down fugitives. Officers are selected by Recruiters, who can also demote them for breaking the rules. Officers have a wide variety of features available to them. To obtain officer status, apply in the Discord.

### Guard Tasks

The guards job is to primarily prevent riots within the prison. Guards first, must always remember the guard rules. Based on the guard rules, officers are required to kill prisoners if stated so. Officers will get striked if they break a guard rule, which may lead to demotion.

### Guard Limits

There can only be a certain amount of guards at a time for balancing purposes. For every 8 players online, there can be 1 Guard/Trainee. For every 40 players online, there can be 1 Detective. Guard upgrades also have their limits. There can only be one guardener at a time.

### Guard Promotions

Officers will be promoted over time based on their bits. Players start as a trainee guard, and at 250 bits become a guard. At 750 bits, detective is unlocked, and guard stays unlocked. At 1000 bits, you gain access to Guard Upgrades.

## **Trainee Guard**

A trainee guard is the lowest form of a guard. Trainee guards are where all players begin their guard mission, and they will stay trainee until they reach 250 bits. Trainees have weakened armor, a less powerful weapon, and no bow.

## **Guard**

A guard is the normal form of prison defense. Guard is unlocked as 250 bits and will stay unlocked until a demotion occurs or the season ends. Guards have to follow the same rules as a trainee, but have a stronger weapon, better armor and, unlike the trainee guard, a bow and arrows

## **Detective**

A detective is a specialized class of officer. The detective has significantly weaker gear and weapons, but has the unique ability to enter tunnels, fugitive huts, and interrogate enemies.

#### Interrogation

A detective has the unique ability to interrogate its enemies. Interrogation is an item with a very long cooldown, but when you hit a player with it you open up a full view of that player’s inventory. While the detective is interrogating, they can take out up to 3 contraband items from the player’s inventory. This can assist a detective in combat by simply swiping a player’s weapon and then having an easy kill. A popular method to circumvent getting your items stolen is to hold them in your offhand, as interrogation cannot access an offhand slot!

## **Recruiters, Strikes, Demotions, and Blacklists**

A recruiter is a discord member and player that has the task of making sure guards follow the guard rules and hiring new guards. A recruiter can STRIKE a guard breaking the rules. Players can also report a guard for breaking rules in the discord, and recruiters sometimes issue strikes when a report is true.

### Strikes

A strike is a formal punishment to an officer for breaking guard rules or not enforcing them. Strikes accumulate over time and only go away when a season ends. Whenever a player has 3 strikes at a time, they are DEMOTED. Video evidence will be required if you want to report a guard.

### Demotions

Whenever a player reaches 3 strikes, they are demoted. Demotions kick the player from officer status. They can still re-apply for officer and will get all of their bits back if they are accepted again.

### Blacklists

A rare form of punishment for officers is a BLACKLIST. Being blacklisted revokes your ability to become a guard ever again. Blacklists occur when an officer gets demoted ~3 times in the same season, gives out free gear to prisoners, or teams with prisoners/fugitives. Blacklists are difficult to appeal and any appeals will likely fail.

### Extra

Some of the guard rules are not explained fully. This is because the server would like the guards to use their 6th sense of Common sense to determine if what they should do is correct or incorrect. Things like hitting prisoners through a contraband detector and baiting a prisoner into doing something illegal are both strikeable and you must avoid doing so if your a guard. You may ask questions to the guard recruiters if you create a general ticket in the discord.

## **Officer Upgrades**

Officers have a unique feature unlocked at 1000 bits or more, the ability to purchase Guard Upgrades or Detective Upgrades for a cost of bits. An officer upgrade is a one-life upgrade to their gear that offers a wide variety of buffs.

### Scout

The scout is a guard upgrade that costs 30 bits. The scout is a movement-based upgrade that offers powerful arrows and a stronger weapon, but weaker armor. Scout has the following buffs/perks:

* Scout boots with 10% speed buff
* Upgraded baton
* Gain slowness arrows and glowing arrows
* Upon killing a prisoner or fugitive, you will gain speed 2 for 4 seconds

### Tank

The tank is a guard upgrade that costs 40 bits. The tank is an armor-based upgrade that provides incredibly strong armor, but reduced movement speed and damage, along with the lack of a ranged weapon. Tank has the following buffs/perks:

* Diamond chestplate and iron boots for tank
* Health boost 1 (+ 2 hearts)
* Your bassically more buff than a regular guard but not as buff as a riot officer / guard.

### Gardener

The gardener is a powerful yet frail guard upgrade that costs a shocking 150 bits. The gardener is a hit-and-run high damage upgrade, with the ability to rocket jump and glide, and while doing so, land a powerful **garden!** The gardener offers the following buffs/perks:

* Ability to glide when shifted in mid-air after using the carrot cannon
* Hitting targets whist in mid air and gliding does alot of damage
* Mobility in everyone's opinion is very high if you know how to use the role (after alot of practice)

### Undercover Guard

The undercover guard is an officer upgrade for the detective. Becoming an undercover guard, or UC for short, costs 40 bits. Going undercover allows the officer to view fugitive, prisoner, and guard chat all at once, go anywhere and use any gear, and freely wander the island. UCs are not required to enforce the guard rules, but cannot false kill. The UC has the following perks:

* Invis watch : Upon right clicking it, you will become invisible for 5 seconds giving you the ability to run away when you have been discovered.
* You do not need to follow the guard rules at all. However you must not kill any prisoners on purpose as that will lead to a strike.
* You can use any equipment that you pick up e.g. Baton, Guard vest, Trainee boots etc.

## **Special Officer Roles**

These special roles are available to the admins only; the Riot Officer and the Warden. These officers are powerful and specialized units, capable of taking on many rioters at once and easily killing lonely fighters.

### Riot Officer

The riot officer is a special role that can be deployed during lockdowns. The riot officer is an incredibly defensive and strong guard, capable of fighting many fugitives at once. The riot officer carries a steel baton, 4 tear gas capsules, an improved crossbow, riot officer armor, a shield, and the exclusive tranquilizer arrows.

*note: this is the new and fully* **UPDATED** *RO the only thing that is not updated is the Steel Baton it is unknown if it got buffed our not so until further notice this is the current stats of RO.*

### Warden

The warden is a quick-moving, efficient, but weaker admin-locked officer role. The warden is rarely sent out, but it means pure discipline in the prison walls. The warden wields the Whiip, a unique weapon that ignores invulnerability frames and does 3.5 damage.
