I realized things that I think would be self explanatory? Maaayyy not be... and as such? I am making this thread as sort of a bulletin board where the latest rules, or changes in tactics, can be posted so that everyone is kinda on the same page. This won't be limited to just what Optimus says though, if a character has any kind of rank on anything within the base? And they want to implement a new rule? They can slap it down here with a timestamp of when it's actually started ((So we know what threads characters are safe since the rule isn't implemented yet, or if someone's in trouble))
For example, Ratchet may decide people are no longer permitted in the Medical Bay unless they are brought in, or are on fire or something. So Lex could slap that down here when Ratchet finally has had enough of your guys slag and draws this line. In contrast? Red Alert may flip out one week, and decide some new protocol has to be done to ensure everyone is safe and not going to die, so Toggs would plant that down here when that is implemented and everyone has to deal with that for however long.
Some basic rules I may forget to put down, so give me a holler.
No Alt-Modes or blind running through the base unless it is an emergency. With the children being the sneaky little rodents they are? The chance of someone hooking a corner and plowing them over is way too high. One must always be careful where they are walking. If a human is smashed? Well... that isn't an option...
?Fighting:
Spars and practice are acceptable in appropriate areas, but violence born out of disagreements solves nothing and will just end with those involved put on less desirable jobs. If sparring does occur, it is for practice only, and severe injuries inflicted will not be tolerated.
?Ration Energon:
Energon is low, and while it isn't bad enough its locked up so you need to file reports to get some? One should still be mindful to not overindulge and gorge. To do so will land the individual on tight rations for however long is needed to balance out how much they overate.
?Ground Bridge:
All use of the Ground Bridge must be recorded, and done with proper clearances. The Ground Bridge is not a toy to travel around willy nilly, because it uses an obscene amount of Energon to rev online. There must always be a Ground Bridge operator, otherwise whoever departs through, will become trapped, or the bridge will hemorrhage Energon by being left on.
?Reports after Patrols:
You go out somewhere? Even if it’s a really mundane scouting job for Energon that landed nothing found? Guess what?... Reports need to occur to note this and any details seen along the way. It's everyone's favorite job!
?No Traveling Alone: ((Implemented Episode 1 Week 4))
Extreme caution must be taken until the threat of MECH is no longer an issue. At least two fight capable Autobots must be active on any expedition outside of base. Preferably? The more the better. The loss of another to MECH's hands is not an option.
?Senseless Killing:
Slaying a foe in combat is something that regrettably occurs. It IS war, and avoiding it entirely is simply impossible without landing yourself on the receiving end of a swift demise. However if a situation arises where a foe is not a threat? If they have surrendered or are down for the count? And an Autobot is going to execute them anyway? Expect some backlash from Optimus.
If you have other ideas to add to this list that need to be slapped down? Please let me know! If it’s a new rule that’s made because of IC events? Make sure to note the episode and time that it's implemented. I know I am forgetting some things, but I am also forgoing listing stuff like... don’t bring more human pets back to base... or don’t reveal their species to humans...

BASE RULES
?Watch where you Step: No Alt-Modes or blind running through the base unless it is an emergency. With the children being the sneaky little rodents they are? The chance of someone hooking a corner and plowing them over is way too high. One must always be careful where they are walking. If a human is smashed? Well... that isn't an option...

GENERAL PROTOCOL
?Ground Bridge:
All use of the Ground Bridge must be recorded, and done with proper clearances. The Ground Bridge is not a toy to travel around willy nilly, because it uses an obscene amount of Energon to rev online. There must always be a Ground Bridge operator, otherwise whoever departs through, will become trapped, or the bridge will hemorrhage Energon by being left on.
