			Professionalism is mandatory. As a Fax Responder, you are the primary point of contact between players and external factions. As a responder, you effectively embody the faction you represent.

	~~== Expectations ==~~		While the workload may be lighter than a standard round, your decisions carry significant weight. You must remain mindful of the impact your responses have on the narrative of an ongoing round.
	~~You are expected to maintain professionalism at all times. This role is not to be taken lightly.~~ While ~~you~~ may ~~find yourself with fewer tasks~~ than ~~during~~ a ~~typical~~ round, your ~~actions and~~ decisions ~~can have~~ significant ~~consequences, and you~~ must remain mindful of ~~that~~.

	A strong knowledge of the English language, especially spelling, punctuation, and grammar is essential. It would be unacceptable for UNMC High Command or any other faction to send out a fax that reads as though it were scribbled in crayon by a toddler.

Fax Responding is reserved for trusted players who consistently demonstrate high-quality roleplay and a mastery of spelling, grammar, and formatting.

Admins will identify and notify players they deem suitable based on their established track record and current conduct.'''

	If ~~you’ve been approved, you may request access to the role by asking an admin through AHELP while~~ you are a ghost~~. Either after observing~~ or ~~after dying during~~ a round.		If you are a ghost, either as an observer or following a round death, and you have had previous confirmation that you are cleared to assist, you may send an '''AHELP''' to notify staff of your availability.

	~~This role is a privilege earned through professionalism, maturity~~, and ~~a solid understanding of in-game mechanics and procedures. It is not something~~ that ~~can be demanded or begged for.~~

	~~Fax Responders cannot make decisions that would drastically alter the round~~'~~s flow, such as activating ERTs or overriding staff decisions without their input. Always use~~ AHELP ~~if you~~'~~re unsure whether~~ your ~~action requires staff involvement~~.

While a Fax Responder typically operates under the supervision of an administrator, you must recognize that staff members are often managing multiple high-priority tasks simultaneously. Consequently, you are expected to exercise professional autonomy and sound judgment at all times. Act with the constant assumption that your every action is being monitored; the absence of immediate feedback does not imply a lack of oversight. Whether an admin is actively guiding you or is occupied with other duties, you must maintain the highest standards of the role, as you remain fully accountable for any decisions made during their distraction.

	* ~~Messages~~ involving betrayal of the UNMC or ~~anti-UNMC~~ actions ~~should usually~~ be reported to ~~UNMC High Command or Almayer CIC.~~		* Any correspondence involving the betrayal of the UNMC or overt antagonistic actions must be reported to staff immediately via '''AHELP'''. While you have the IC discretion to withhold this information from other fax responders or the Almayer CIC, you are never permitted to hide such developments from RMC staff. In most cases, these faxes should be ignored and left without an in-character response unless a staff-run event involving your faction is currently active. Always verify the current event status with an administrator before engaging with potentially antagonistic faxes.
	* You may choose not to report such activity at your discretion — but do '''~~not~~''' ~~encourage~~ or ~~endorse it~~ without ~~'''explicit'''~~ staff ~~permission~~.
