So You Want to Call Security
Hi all! This is your resident Head of Security, and I'd like to make a request/clarify how to call for Security's presence in a thread or in general.
Please remember to communicate with all parties involved BEFORE asking for/summoning Security! We tend to assume that if people are getting in touch with us, all of the people involved in the interference are cool with Security coming in and have ideas about what will and will not happen! A handful of times this has happened to not be the case, and that can cause stress and frustration, as well as confusion on everyone's parts, so. Clarification!
If talking to the other muns in a situation is a problem, please talk to the game mods before summoning Security as a means of dealing with OOC conflict. That is generally not our job.
Thanks!
And if you have any questions, hit me up, here or in DMs.
Edit: If all Security muns could subscribe to notifications/alerts to this thread, when someone leaves a comment requesting Security there, we will all get notifications!
Backroom posts are also okay, but a lot of that depends on who is around and checking the bar, so this post at ways_office will hopefully be a more centralized location from which to coordinate this kind of thing.
Second edit: Now that I am comm admin for ways_office, I will keep an updated list of Security personnel and journal names on the info page! For when you don't know who is on Security and you don't know where else to find it!

People can tag in there with Security requests and links, and eventually all Security muns will get a notif and leave a tag when they are taking a response, and that way it should be smoother? And hopefully people will have to wait less on tenterhooks just in case?

For example:
Pup A and Pup B get into a fight. Pup A is about to hit Pup B. By the rules of godmodding, Mun A should be communicating with Mun B anyway to say 'May I have A punch B?'.
If Pup B is the sort of person who would call Security (I.e. they are of a nervous disposition like Guppy), then the answer to that question would be 'Sure, but pup B would call Security, so if you're cool with that then go ahead'.
Same principle for emotional/threatened/other violence etc. Such threads require a level of trust between players, as well as everyone (to use a brilliant phrase of yours that I have stolen) to have their adult pants on....
Aside from anything else, it's much more fun when you know what everyone is doing. Much the same as if you have a medic thread, it's best to communicate with the medic mun to know what sort of disease/treatment you want.

Communication is so key to collaborative threading, esp when things get tense IC.

I really hope this new method works and makes things simpler for people! We'll see!

I hope this new way of contacting Security-at-large helps make things easier! If not, any other suggestions will be welcome, always. Threading should be fun.
