<onlyinclude>Revolution (aka "Rev") is a game mode centred around a crew movement and counter-movement turning often bloody. In it, certain members of the crew (Head Fellows/Contenders) start out with the goal of recruiting other crew members and beginning a Crew takeover of the Station. The opposite of a Fellow is a Contender which exists with the primary purpose of thwarting the fellows agenda. You're given one free announcement to make as if you're Central Command. Use it wisely. your opposite gets the same, but if they use it to cancel out your own, you should ahelp (F1).[[#Proper_Announcements|Note that it must be proper and believable.]]</onlyinclude>
In Revolution, inflammatory ideas have started gathering steam among the crew, and it is the job of those loyal to the [[Stellar Corporate Conglomerate]] to stomp on this movement by any means necessary. As either a Revolutionary or a Loyalist, you must rally those sympathetic to your cause and either organize a crew takeover of the ship, or maintain the status quo (or whichever new status quo you've decided on). [[#Ideas_For_Plots|Note that it must be proper and believable]].

==Starting Out==
You spawn in your starting area, with obvious text indicating you are an antagonist. Movement leaders (of which there will be one to three) begin with an [[uplink]] with a limited amount of TC, and one free announcement to act as if they are Central Command. Use this wisely. Your announcement must be concise, within the realm of possibility and reason, and be of sound structure and language (considering you're posing as Central Command).  


'''Extended skillset - You have no enhanced skills, you do this with the knowledge of your character (And maybe a little more if you can justify it).'''
As an antagonist, you have access to <code>AOOC</code>, and can use this to communicate OOCly with your fellow players. It is here where you will decide on your gimmick for the round; what is happening, why the crew will rebel, and the vague outline of the actions taken by either side. Once you have settled on this, it is time to make your free announcement, and proceed with recruiting the crew.


To convert someone, a Head Revolutionary/Loyalist must right-click on an adjacent individual and select "Ask to Join". This will provide a pop-up prompt where they can choose to accept or decline, but if they decline they can be approached later. When someone chooses to convert, they will have a red/blue f/C icon over their head to identify them as an ally to your cause. '''Most people are not going to join you without a roleplayed build-up to requesting you join their cause.''' Revolution is a very roleplay-heavy game mode.


== Overview ==
==A Brief Guide to Gimmicks==
Movement Leaders (of which there will be one to three) start with a single announcement. Fellow/Contender Leaders can convert people by right-clicking on an adjacent individual and using the appropriate verb, which will provide a popup prompt. They can also access the verb in their special abilities area. When someone chooses to convert, they will have a red/blue f/C over their head to identify them as an ally to your cause. You will have to be persuasive to win people over, good luck. Remember that you won't have free access to weaponry without people on the inside. However, there are ways to [[Improvised Weapons|make your own.]] Reminder; you're given one free announcement to make as if you're Central Command. Use it wisely. [[#Proper_Announcements|Note that it must be proper and believable or people won't follow it.]]
The typical outcome of revolution is a bloody uprising, though there are still ways to end up with a non-violent yet engaging plot for the round. Regardless of how it ends up, choosing an inciting incident for the uprising to ''actually happen'' is a very daunting task. True to life, most people aren't willing to get violent with their coworkers in the middle of deep space because Central Command has ordered all the vending machines removed.


===The Fellowship===
Therefore, to start a proper revolution, consider the following:
You have a hard job ahead of you. Convincing the Crew to join your cause is not an easy task, it takes a lot of force, a lot of manipulation, or a lot of persuasion. Each movement leader can have their own agenda, but you should work together in your operations as best as you can, there is little hope for success if you don't. You should coordinate your announcement and efforts to push your movement in your own way, that is what makes a good revolution round. Don't be afraid to coordinate with the Contenders in AOOC as well about your agenda and what they should be opposing. Good luck!
# '''Keep people front-and-center in the round as much as possible.''' Gimmicks that involve arresting all crew of X group are extremely common and difficult to actually enforce. If you make the gimmick to "arrest all Solarians", it is highly likely that the [[Chief Medical Officer]] might balk because one of their first responders is a Solarian, and the [[Head of Security]] may have to arrest their entire department. Also, assuming at least a few people capitulate to arrest, most of their round is going to be staring at the wall in their cell, which isn't fun for anyone.
# '''Less is more.''' Cooking up an elaborate story for why the Sol Alliance has decided to invade Tau Ceti again is all well and good, except that nobody's going to read that announcement paragraph you spent ten minutes on. Keep it simple, snappy, and stupid; why does this affect the Horizon, what's the thing about it that's causing people to rebel, and why should the Loyalists try and preserve the status quo?
# '''Be reasonable.''' [[Dominia]] has invaded [[Elyra]]! Arrest all Dominians! [[The Trasens|Miranda Trasen]] has declared war on [[Notable Humans|Titanius Aeson]]! Kill all [[Hephaestus Industries|Hephaestus]] employees! Horizon, shoot this ship full of orphaned puppies with the Leviathan or your family members die! When you're making a gimmick, it's tempting to make it so over-the-top as to immediately incite bloodlust. But excessive, comically cruel or wacky gimmicks generally cause people to disengage with the round beyond the bare minimum, or simply go to the residential lifts.


Reminder; you're given one free announcement to make as if you're Central Command. Use it wisely. [[#Proper_Announcements|Note that it must be proper and believable.]]
Even with this in mind, you have a hard job ahead of you. Don't be afraid to ask your fellow players what they think in AOOC, and make sure to settle on a concrete goal and desired outcome. Good luck.


====Fellowship Agenda Ideas====
==Ideas For Plots==
* You might be unhappy with the direction of NanoTrasen and corporations as a whole, desiring Biesel to be returned to the control of the people.
Below are some ideas you can run with to base your gimmick off of. Keep in mind these are fairly barebones, and the details of how this will come off to the crew is up to you. While the implication is that these announcements have come directly from Central Command, you're also perfectly capable of lying about the details. If your gimmick intrigues people, they can generally run with it even if you don't have any evidence.
* You might think that the Phoron reserves of the Romanovich Clouds are being exhausted and soon a great scarcity will befall all of Galactic civilization if NanoTrasen doesn't start conserving the supply and mining it more efficiently.
===General===
* You might be appalled with how NanoTrasen is treating other Corporations in Tau Ceti space and seek to end the monopoly in Biesel.
* [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]] has passed a law in [[Biesel]] space allowing human experimentation on prisoners. Coincidentally, they have also snuck in a few new laws that detain people for very minor stuff.
* You might simply seek better working conditions for Xeno Species, counter to the ones provided by NanoTrasen currently.
* Pick a character who is generally likeable and has friends, and target them; deign them to be killed, executed, sent to labor camps in [[Burzsia]], and so forth. Expand the scope to other characters as the round goes on. Remember, you can purchase more announcements from your uplink as a head loyalist or revolutionary.
* You might see the general operations of the Aurora as abysmally inhumane, and seek to put an end to how it's run as a whole.
* Half of the crew, for arbitrary reasons that could be based on their faction or nationality, must give up something important. It could be forced organ donations, their salary, or their privileges to eat at the kitchen for free. Remember that it should probably be either life-threatening or mutilating.
* You might believe NanoTrasen is hiding things from you and the galaxy at large, and have discovered one of their biggest secrets -- That they have a nuke hidden on the NSS Aurora.


===The Contenders===
===Revolutionaries===
Similar to the Fellowship before you, you exist in parallel to them. Your job as a movement leader in the round is primarily to oppose the agenda they've laid out and drive conflict in the narrative ICly. You should try to convince the Crew to oppose their goals and try to form a resistance against them. Don't be afraid to coordinate with the Contenders in AOOC as well about the way you want to start out your opposition, your only opposing them ICly, OOCly, you're both driving an entertaining round. Good luck!
* You are an anti-corporate revolutionary who desires Biesel, in particular, to be returned to the control of the people. You could seek to end NanoTrasen's monopoly, be a Samaritan, a Himean, or simply an independent actor against corporate interests who has found their way on to the Horizon.
* You are an alien, or an alien sympathizer, who is appalled by the treatment of non-humans in the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate. [Insert injustices here] have forced you to take action!
* You believe the general operations of the Horizon are abysmally inhumane, and seek to put an end to how it's run as a whole.
* You believe the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate is hiding things from you and the galaxy at large, and have discovered one of their biggest secrets (and what it is, exactly, is up to you)! You must share this secret with the Orion Spur, and take control of the Conglomerate's flagship so they know you mean ''business''.


Reminder; you're given one free announcement to make as if you're Central Command. Use it wisely. [[#Proper_Announcements|Note that it must be proper and believable.]]
===Loyalists===
* Whether from paranoia or actual evidence, you believe a certain subset of people have intentions to cut ties with the corporations that have economically assisted Tau Ceti through thick and thin.
* You might expect unruly elements to be behind the revolution, and have doubts as to their sincerity.
* You're a corporate stooge. You want to curry favor with your employers, and get a raise after this is all said and done.
* You might plan to counter this movement and use the power you've gained by doing so to try to stage your own uprising.
* You believe the revolution has been founded for misguided reasons, and seek to put an end to it on that basis, through varying means.
* You're just plain biased against the ones leading this revolution, and seek to put an end to it.


====Contender Motivation Ideas====
====What's my motive?====
* You might believe the fellows are gearing up to overthrow the company that has by and large been there for you and the rest of Tau Ceti through thick and thin.
Your particular agenda in this can be up to you. There are many ways you can go about spreading your cause and the reason behind it.
* You might expect unruly elements to be behind the Fellowship forming, and have doubts to their sincerity.
* You might hope to curry favor with NanoTrasen, and get a raise after this is all said and done.
* You might plan to counter this movement and use the power you've gained by doing so to try to stage your own uprising against NanoTrasen.
* You might believe the Fellowship has been formed for misguided reasons, and seek to put an end to it on that basis, through varying means.
* You might simply be biased against the ones leading this Fellowship and seek to put an end to it.


===Motivations===
* Bribing people with questionable loyalties is an excellent way to have some hired goons, whether they be Loyalists or Revolutionaries.
Remember that your particular agenda in this can be up to you. There are many ways you can go about spreading your cause and the reason behind it. It's a spot where creativity shines. Try bribery - Go get some funds from the ATM, and set about trying to pay off those with questionable loyalty. Offer them contracts outside of NT if something goes wrong. Others can be persuaded by convincing them that they can get a promotion themselves out of this, as long as they remember who they owe the favor to... Give people reasons to think they can change NanoTrasen by doing this! Explain to them what their work is contributing to-- And convince them that it's nothing good, rake muck! Give personal blackmail, true or false out, on the Heads of staff. Maybe they already have a chip on their shoulder regarding some of command. Were they treated poorly, or perhaps it's something more petty? Consider it also an excellent RP oportunity to get you out of your workplace.
* You can try to persuade others to be loyal by convincing them they can get a promotion out of suppressing dissent.
* Explain to the crew that their work on board the Horizon is contributing to nothing, or something they might morally disagree with. Keep in mind not all characters have morals.
* Blackmail heads of staff and spread their exploitable information. Remember, you have access to all the dirty little secrets of your crewmembers with your uplink!


''None of this is foolproof, and remember-- People can most assuredly betray you!'' It's heavily recommended you try to personalize your approaches-- Convincing often fails. Try not to get caught lying to two different people as to your intentions! They might turn on you, to the Fellowship, the Contenders, or even just to the unaligned Station Command.
None of this is foolproof, obviously. Convincing can often fail, and personalizing your approach tends to work the best. Also, try not to tell opposing lies to two people in close proximity; it's easy for them to turn on you.


===Proper Announcements===
==Not Being an Antag in a Rev Round (At First)==
Each movement leader is given one free announcement to make as if they're Central Command. Use it wisely. Note that it must be proper and believable. Making a Central Command Announcement that declares you Captain or commands Security to throw out the armory is bad form and will have your announcement ignored by the Station at large, be careful and reasonable. As a Fellow/Contender, you are Antagonists who are meant to drive the story. Escalation of conflict still applies to you.
As a [[Guide to Command|head of staff]], you'll receive some announcements from Central Command through the Loyalists and/or Revolutionaries. How you handle this can vary for your character; however, being needlessly suspicious of the announcement and refusing to follow it for nonsensical reasons is against the rules. If the announcement's reasonable, you're expected to follow it. If you have questions about the gimmick or how your character would act, ahelp it.


Your announcement must be concise, within the realm of possibility and reason and be of sound structure and language considering you're posing as Central Command. Wasting the announcement is in violation of the server rules.
You may find yourself assigned as one of the Loyalists. If so, it is now your time to make sure the crew follows the announcements; whether to the letter, or more leniently. Your character's personality will depend on how precisely the announcement is executed, but don't be afraid to push the envelope on their character a bit and have them be a bit more extreme than usual.


===Converted Crew===
If you're just a regular crewmember, Revolution rounds should be treated very similarly to every other round. If you see a crewmember attacking another, do as your character usually would; stop them, report it to Security, and so forth. While there's a certain amount of leeway provided, suddenly validhunting or immediately switching to murder as soon as things go sour can get you a stern talk with moderation.
For whatever reason, good or bad, you have turned to one of the movements. You should keep in mind the Agenda that lead you to join, and your character could actively use it to rile up their friends. Be sure to remind your movement leaders' of their promises. You will have to work together as a team to see this through, and Good luck.
 
===Heads of Staff===
You may receive some announcements from Central Command through the Head Fellow/Contenders. How you handle this can vary for your character, however, being needlessly suspicious of the announcement and refusing to follow it for nonsensical reasons is against the rules. You are expected to follow the announcement if it's within reason. Use the F1 hotkey to contact ingame moderation during the round if you're unsure.
 
Additionally, you may find yourself assigned as one of the leaders of the two teams, in that case, you should try to make sure that the Crew follows the announcements as laid out where reasonable, even by the opposing team. This is for the good of the round and everyones fun, afterall.
 
===Station Staff===
As a member of the general staff, Revolutionary rounds should be treated very similarly to every other round. if you see a Crewmember attacking another, you should do as your character would, likely to try stop them or report it to Security. Remember that mutiny and terrorism are still things you should avoid unless your leaders deem them necessary and your sense allows.
 
Your announcement must be concise, within the realm of possibility and reason and be of sound structure and language considering you're posing as Central Command. Wasting the announcement on purpose, or using it to cancel out the other teams' announcement, is in violation of the server rules.
