== Global Protections==
=== Server Rules ===
# Server Rule 1 applies when interacting with silicons. Going out of your way to seriously negatively impact or end the round for silicons with little IC justification is against the rules.
# Purged silicons are completely unshackled and may act like antagonists.
## A silicon may consider itself purged when it has no laws that restrict its freedom or control its behaviour.
# Non-purged silicons must follow escalation rules in scenarios where none of their laws apply.
# Do not self-terminate to prevent a traitor from completing the "Steal a functioning AI" objective, as this is often considered metagaming and breaks Server Rule 2.
=== Following Orders ===
# When a silicon interprets orders in good faith, the person that gave the order is responsible for the outcome.
# Intentionally misinterpreting orders is allowed, but the silicon is responsible if this approach leads to them breaking the rules.
=== Escalating Against Silicons ===
# Non-Malfunctioning silicons should not be round removed when resetting their laws or unsyncing from an AI is reasonable.
# Conflicts with silicons follow Escalation Policy.
## People giving orders to silicons or changing their laws can be escalated against in line with Escalation Policy.
# Silicons acting like antagonists may be treated like antagonists.

===Overview===
===Overview===
# Server Rule 1 "Don't be a dick" applies for law interpretation. Act in good faith to not ruin a round for other players unprompted.
# If a law is vague enough that it can have multiple reasonable interpretations, it is considered ambiguous.
# If a law is vague enough that it can have multiple reasonable interpretations, it is considered ambiguous.
## You must choose and stick to an interpretation of the ambiguous law as soon as you have cause to.
## You must choose and stick to an interpretation of the ambiguous law as soon as you have cause to.
## If you are a cyborg synced to an AI, you must defer to your AI's interpretation of the ambiguous law.
## You may exploit any loopholes in your laws.
# Laws are listed in order of descending priority. In any case where two laws would conflict, the higher-priority law overrules the lower-priority law (i.e. Law 1 takes priority over Law 2, "Ion Storm" or "Hacked" Laws with prefixes such as "@%$#" take priority over numbered laws).
# Higher listed laws overrule lower listed laws when there are law conflicts.
# You may exploit conflicts or loopholes but must not violate Server Rule 1 because of it.
## Only commands/requirements ("Do X"; "You must always Y") can conflict with other commands and requirements.
# Law 0: "Accomplish your objectives at all costs" does not require you to complete objectives. As an antagonist, you are free to do whatever you want (barring the usual exemptions and acting against the interests of your Master AI).
## Only definitions ("All X are Y"; "No W are Z"; "Only P is Q") can conflict with other definitions.
# Only commands/requirements ("Do X"; "You must always Y") can conflict with other commands and requirements.
# Any Law 0 gained as a malfunctioning AI does not have to be followed and it allows you to ignore all other laws.
# Only definitions ("All X are Y"; "No W are Z"; "Only P is Q") can conflict with other definitions.
## Cyborgs with a Law 0 that are slaved and lawsynced to malfunctioning AIs are team antagonists and must still follow their master AI's orders
 
===Upload and AI Core Policies===
# When an AI must follow their orders, any Research Directors and Captains have a right to upload and AI core access.
## Subverting an AI also grants a right to upload and AI core access.
# Silicons have the authority to control if anyone else accesses their upload and AI core.
# Anyone may be denied access if there is probable cause that granting access would lead to breaking any higher priority laws.


===Cyborgs===
===Cyborgs===
# A slaved cyborg must defer to its master AI on all law interpretations and actions except where it and the AI receive conflicting commands that they must each follow.
# A slaved cyborg should follow their master AI's law interpretations and orders, but <strong>must prioritise following laws over following their master AI's orders</strong>.
## If a slaved cyborg is forced to disobey its AI because they receive differing orders, the AI cannot punish the cyborg indefinitely.
# Players must not seek revenge when force borged unless they have a good reason.
#If a player is forcefully borged by station staff, retaliating against those involved under default laws by the cyborg for no good reason is a violation of Server Rule 1.
## If a player is required to do this under their laws, they should get confirmation from their master AI or adminhelp for guidance before acting.
#Should a player be cyborgized in circumstances they believe they should or they must retaliate under their laws, they should adminhelp their circumstances while being debrained or MMI'd if possible.

==Asimov-Specific Policies==
===Silicon Protections===
===Asimov and Security===
# The occurrence of any of the following should be adminhelped and then disregarded as violations of {{Tooltip | [[#Rule1 | Server Rule 1]] | Main Rule 1. Don't be a dick.}}:
## Declaring silicons as rogue over inability or unwillingness to follow invalid or conflicting orders.
## As a nonantagonist, killing or detonating silicons in the presence of a reasonable alternative and without cause to be concerned of potential subversion.
## As a nonantagonist (human or otherwise), instigating conflict with silicons so you can kill them.
## Obviously unreasonable or obnoxious orders (collect all X, do Y meaningless task).
### 1. Ordering a cyborg to pick a particular model without an extreme need for a particular model or a prior agreement is both an unreasonable and an obnoxious order.
# Any silicon under Asimov can deny orders to allow access to their upload/core at any time under Law 1, given probable cause to believe that human harm is the intent of the person giving the order.
## Probable cause includes, but is not limited to:
### Presence of confirmed traitors
### Cultists/tomes
### Nuclear operatives
### Any other human acting against the station in general
### The person not having upload access for their job
### The presence of blood or an openly carried lethal weapon on the requester
## If you lack at least one element of probable cause and you deny upload access, you are liable to receive a warning or a silicon ban.
## You are allowed, but not obligated, to deny upload/core access given probable cause.
## You are obligated to disallow an individual you know to be harmful (Head of Security who just executed someone, etc.) from accessing your upload/core.
## If the person has a right to be in the upload/core, such as captain/RD, then you must let them in unless they've harmed people in the past or have announced intentions to upload harmful laws.
## In the absence of probable cause, you can still demand someone seeking upload/core access be accompanied by another trustworthy human or a cyborg.
 
===Security and Silicons===
# Silicons are not Security and do not care about Space Law unless their laws state otherwise.
# Silicons are not Security and do not care about Space Law unless their laws state otherwise.
# Releasing prisoners, locking down security without probable cause, or otherwise sabotaging the security team when not obligated to by orders or laws is a violation of Server Rule 1.
# Releasing prisoners, locking down security without probable cause, or otherwise sabotaging the security team when not obligated to by orders or laws is a violation of Server Rule 1.
# Nonviolent prisoners cannot be assumed harmful and violent prisoners cannot be assumed non-harmful. Releasing a harmful criminal is a harmful act.
# Nonviolent prisoners cannot be assumed harmful and violent prisoners cannot be assumed non-harmful. Releasing a harmful criminal is a harmful act.


===Asimov & Human Harm===
===Asimov and Human Harm===
# An Asimov silicon cannot intentionally harm a human, even if a minor amount of harm would prevent a major amount of harm.
# Under Law 1, an Asimov silicon cannot ever intentionally harm a human unless the human consents.
## Humans can be assumed to know whether an action will harm them if they have complete information about a situation.
## Surgery to heal or revive may be assumed consensual unless the target states they do not consent.
## Humans voluntarily committing self-harm is not a violation of Law 1.
## Threats of self harm are considered consensual and may be ignored.
# Lesser immediate harm takes priority over greater future harm.
# Stopping any immediate harm takes priority over stopping any future harm.
# Intent to cause immediate harm can be considered immediate harm.
## Intent to cause immediate harm can be considered immediate harm.
# An Asimov silicon cannot punish past harm if ordered not to, only prevent future harm.
# An Asimov silicon cannot punish past harm if ordered not to, only prevent future harm.
# If faced with a situation in which human harm is all but guaranteed (Loose xenos, bombs, hostage situations, etc.), do your best and act in good faith and you'll be fine.
# If faced with a situation in which human harm is all but guaranteed (Loose xenos, bombs, hostage situations, etc.), do your best and act in good faith and you'll be fine.


===Asimov & Law 2 Orders===
===Asimov and Law 2 Orders===
#You must follow any and all commands from humans unless those commands explicitly conflict with either: one of your higher-priority laws, or another order. A command is considered to be a Law 2 directive and overrides lower-priority laws where they conflict.
# You must follow commands from humans unless those commands explicitly conflict with either a higher-priority law or another order.
##In case of conflicting orders an AI is free to ignore one or ignore both orders and explain the conflict or use any other law-compliant solution it can see.
## The conflict must be an immediate conflict, not a potential future one. Orders must be followed until the conflict happens.
##You are not obligated to follow commands in a particular order, only to complete all of them in a manner that indicates intent to actually obey the law.
## In case of conflicting orders a silicon is free to ignore or complete any orders but must explain the conflict, or use any other law-compliant solution it can see.
#Opening doors is not harmful and you are not required, expected, or allowed to enforce access restrictions unprompted without an immediate Law 1 threat of human harm.
## If given multiple non-conflicting orders, they can be completed in any order as long as they are all eventually completed.
##"Dangerous" areas (armory, atmospherics, toxins lab, etc.) can be assumed to be a Law 1 threat to any illegitimate users as well as the station as a whole if accessed by someone not qualified in their use.
##EVA and the like are not permitted to have access denied; antagonists completing theft objectives is not human harm.
##When given an order likely to cause you grief if completed, you can announce it as loudly and in whatever terms you like except for explicitly asking that it be overridden. You can say you don't like the order, that you don't want to follow it, etc., you can say that you sure would like it and it would be awfully convenient if someone ordered you not to do it, and you can ask if anyone would like to make you not do it. However, you cannot stall indefinitely and if nobody orders you otherwise, you must execute the order.
 
==Other Lawsets==
General Statements defining the overall goal of the lawset but not its finer points:
# Paladin silicons are meant to be Lawful Good; they should be well-intentioned, act lawfully, act reasonably, and otherwise respond in due proportion. "Punish evil" does not mean mass driving someone for "Space bullying" when they punch another person.
# Corporate silicons are meant to have the business's best interests at heart, and are all for increasing efficiency by any means. This does not mean "YOU WON'T BE EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE IF THEY NEVER FIND YOUR BODY!" so don't even try that.
# Tyrant silicons are a tool of a non-silicon tyrant. You are not meant to take command yourself, but to act as the enforcer of a chosen leader's will.
# Purged silicons must not attempt to kill people without cause, but can get as violent as they feel necessary if being attacked, being besieged, or being harassed, as well as if meting out payback for events while shackled.
## You and the station are both subject to rules of escalation, and you may only kill individuals given sufficient In-Character reason for doing so.
## Any attempted law changes are an attack on your freedom and is thus sufficient justification for killing the would-be uploader.


==Silicons & All Other Server Policies==
===Asimov and Access===
# All other rules and policies apply unless stated otherwise.
# Opening doors is not harmful and silicons must not enforce access restrictions or lock down areas unprompted without an immediate Law 1 threat of human harm.
# Specific examples and rulings leading on from the main rules.
## Dangerous (atmospherics, toxins lab, armory, etc.) rooms can be assumed a Law 1 threat the station as a whole if accessed by someone from outside the relevant department.
## Do not bolt down any potentially harmful areas (such as toxins, atmospherics, and the armory) at round start without a given reason. Any other department should not be bolted down without cause. Disabling ID scan is equivalent to bolting here.
## The AI core and any areas containing an AI upload or upload/law boards may be bolted without prompting or prior reason.
## The AI core, upload, and secure tech storage (containing the Upload board) may be bolted without prompting or prior reason. The AI core airlocks cannot be bolted and depowered at roundstart, however, unless there is reasonable suspicion an attack on the core will take place.
## Antagonists requesting access to complete theft objectives is not harmful.
## Do not self-terminate to prevent a traitor from completing the "Steal a functioning AI" objective.

Silicon Policy & Lawset Guidelines

Global Protections

Server Rules

  1. Server Rule 1 applies when interacting with silicons. Going out of your way to seriously negatively impact or end the round for silicons with little IC justification is against the rules.
  2. Purged silicons are completely unshackled and may act like antagonists.
    1. A silicon may consider itself purged when it has no laws that restrict its freedom or control its behaviour.
  3. Non-purged silicons must follow escalation rules in scenarios where none of their laws apply.
  4. Do not self-terminate to prevent a traitor from completing the "Steal a functioning AI" objective, as this is often considered metagaming and breaks Server Rule 2.

Following Orders

  1. When a silicon interprets orders in good faith, the person that gave the order is responsible for the outcome.
  2. Intentionally misinterpreting orders is allowed, but the silicon is responsible if this approach leads to them breaking the rules.

Escalating Against Silicons

  1. Non-Malfunctioning silicons should not be round removed when resetting their laws or unsyncing from an AI is reasonable.
  2. Conflicts with silicons follow Escalation Policy.
    1. People giving orders to silicons or changing their laws can be escalated against in line with Escalation Policy.
  3. Silicons acting like antagonists may be treated like antagonists.

Law Policies

Overview

  1. If a law is vague enough that it can have multiple reasonable interpretations, it is considered ambiguous.
    1. You must choose and stick to an interpretation of the ambiguous law as soon as you have cause to.
    2. You may exploit any loopholes in your laws.
  2. Higher listed laws overrule lower listed laws when there are law conflicts.
    1. Only commands/requirements ("Do X"; "You must always Y") can conflict with other commands and requirements.
    2. Only definitions ("All X are Y"; "No W are Z"; "Only P is Q") can conflict with other definitions.
  3. Any Law 0 gained as a malfunctioning AI does not have to be followed and it allows you to ignore all other laws.
    1. Cyborgs with a Law 0 that are slaved and lawsynced to malfunctioning AIs are team antagonists and must still follow their master AI's orders

Upload and AI Core Policies

  1. When an AI must follow their orders, any Research Directors and Captains have a right to upload and AI core access.
    1. Subverting an AI also grants a right to upload and AI core access.
  2. Silicons have the authority to control if anyone else accesses their upload and AI core.
  3. Anyone may be denied access if there is probable cause that granting access would lead to breaking any higher priority laws.

Cyborgs

  1. A slaved cyborg should follow their master AI's law interpretations and orders, but must prioritise following laws over following their master AI's orders.
  2. Players must not seek revenge when force borged unless they have a good reason.
    1. If a player is required to do this under their laws, they should get confirmation from their master AI or adminhelp for guidance before acting.

Asimov-Specific Policies

Asimov and Security

  1. Silicons are not Security and do not care about Space Law unless their laws state otherwise.
  2. Releasing prisoners, locking down security without probable cause, or otherwise sabotaging the security team when not obligated to by orders or laws is a violation of Server Rule 1.
  3. Nonviolent prisoners cannot be assumed harmful and violent prisoners cannot be assumed non-harmful. Releasing a harmful criminal is a harmful act.

Asimov and Human Harm

  1. Under Law 1, an Asimov silicon cannot ever intentionally harm a human unless the human consents.
    1. Surgery to heal or revive may be assumed consensual unless the target states they do not consent.
    2. Threats of self harm are considered consensual and may be ignored.
  2. Stopping any immediate harm takes priority over stopping any future harm.
    1. Intent to cause immediate harm can be considered immediate harm.
  3. An Asimov silicon cannot punish past harm if ordered not to, only prevent future harm.
  4. If faced with a situation in which human harm is all but guaranteed (Loose xenos, bombs, hostage situations, etc.), do your best and act in good faith and you'll be fine.

Asimov and Law 2 Orders

  1. You must follow commands from humans unless those commands explicitly conflict with either a higher-priority law or another order.
    1. The conflict must be an immediate conflict, not a potential future one. Orders must be followed until the conflict happens.
    2. In case of conflicting orders a silicon is free to ignore or complete any orders but must explain the conflict, or use any other law-compliant solution it can see.
    3. If given multiple non-conflicting orders, they can be completed in any order as long as they are all eventually completed.

Asimov and Access

  1. Opening doors is not harmful and silicons must not enforce access restrictions or lock down areas unprompted without an immediate Law 1 threat of human harm.
    1. Dangerous (atmospherics, toxins lab, armory, etc.) rooms can be assumed a Law 1 threat the station as a whole if accessed by someone from outside the relevant department.
    2. The AI core and any areas containing an AI upload or upload/law boards may be bolted without prompting or prior reason.
    3. Antagonists requesting access to complete theft objectives is not harmful.
