    1. Shock may enter any bunk or restricted area for the purpose of persuing an active AOS. (Does not apply to throne room and chambers)
17. Inquisitorius+ may Force Choke, but not kill, friendlies that are being disrespectful or directly attacking them.
    a. They may kill within the Purge Troopers.
18. Taking knowledge between your whitelists is considered Metagaming and FailRP, for example:
    a. Witnessing RDM on a Naval / Darkside, and then switching to a Shock Trooper whitelist to arrest them.
    b. Witnessing disrespect on a trooper whitelist, and instead of RAOSing, you change to your Naval Officer whitelist to AOS them.
    c. The above are just EXAMPLES, please use common sense on this issue.
19. All names must only be limited to 2 subdivisions/specializations (e.g. Shock BSM OS COL John)
20. When using the slap SWEP, the first slap is out of character, and after a warning, the next slap is actionable (KOS/AOS).
    a. Official Guards may KOS/AOS after one slap if it is on/by the Emperor.
21. No tryouts or training can be held during server-wide events, tryouts and training however can still be held during battalion specific events.

Claiming Rules:

1. SGT+ equivalent can claim Sim Rooms.

9. If a sim room was previously claimed, however, the party who claimed said room is not currently inside that sim room rendering it not in use, then that sim room is available to be claimed.
   a. This does not mean the claim expires upon the owner leaving the room, however, just that another group may claim the room if it is not in use by the party that initially claimed it. "Not in use" means that there are no current active members of the simulation within the sim room.
   b. Keep in mind this does not apply to simulations where the original person who claimed it is killed within the sim and is running back to the sim room from their spawn area. For example, the sim owner calls a "free for all" in a Sim Room, and another user kills them within the simulation only to claim the room for themselves immediately afterward. This behavior is strictly prohibited and considered FailRP.
