Preamble
So you've decided to be less-than-lawful as an Officer of the Law. This is, ideally, how not to get banned; and how to increase the net-fun of the round while doing so. Keep in mind, this document is subject to change at any time.
The Ways Of Corruption
Firstly; what you need to consider is that when being corrupt; your main goal should be to contribute to the round. Corruption is not being shitsec - and vice versa; and can commonly be flipped in reverse. Corruption can be the difference between being a good security player - and being an average security player; it changes the way you interact with antagonists and normal players alike, and can both equally make you respected, loved and otherwise cherished in your role - or if you abuse it; you may face negative consequences.
For example, the first topic. Bribes. Bribes are the 'staple' of corruption in this day and age - being paid to look the other way, or to 'conveniently' lose your Security HUDGlasses. They're a convenient, hard to prove method of being corrupt; but that doesn't mean you should always accept them. As of now - the general Do's and Don'ts of bribes. Firstly. This is not an excuse to go and sell off armory equipment. Treat it like your character would; you aren't some professional gun fencer - and you somewhat want to keep your job. Armory equipment going missing right before an emergency gets the finger pointed at whoever was in it last; which would probably be you. Secondly. You should not constantly accept bribes, especially in the open. Once more looping back to the idea of "You wish to keep your job.". Don't accept bribes to do stupidly obvious shit, like giving the man your tagged, and IDlocked weapon (if these are ever implemented, which they probably wont be). Just use common sense.
For the second example. Timer manipulation/Mal-processing. This is the second most common form of corrpution/shitsec; it goes hand in hand with both sides. Malprocessing is where you deliberately undercharge/overcharge the criminal, or potentially innocent player, usually due to their actions - which may range from provocative to downright insulting. Once more; This cannot be stressed enough. Use common sense. You should not be Mal-processing people often, its something to be done in taste; when the round has been quiet thusfar, to give your fellow officers, HoS and Warden something to do, things to investigate, court cases to be had. With Timer Manipulation, this one is simple. It refers to the direct act of manually changing someones timer - to either let them free earlier; or delay their release. This is usually done as punishment for having 'Ligger' or the relevant insult screamed at you ICly, once more - the key here is when and when not to do it. Use Common Sense.
These are the two primary examples, and staple of corruption; the rest is open to interpretation, and is mostly common sense. As to what common sense in this scenario means; it refers to.
Common Sense.
Firstly; 'Bigger Fish To Fry'. This is a policy we're hoping to adopt in terms of antagonists in general. This is when differences are deliberately set aside, along with corruption, to temporarily deal with a much larger threat. This can range from Blobs, to Nuclear Operatives, to Xenomorphs. This means that in the case of a large enough threat, you should not be acting corrupt; period, nor should you be going out of your way to actively harass antagonists assisting you for that moment. Treat the situation like your character would - its no longer fun and games; people will die if things do not get done.
Secondly; 'Scrutiny'. Scrutiny is the word we will be using for how to moderate corruption - as both its meaning; and implications fit well. Your character should not be taking bribes, malprocessing, etc if they are under scrutiny from their superiors; Be that Central Command, The Warden, or the HoS; it simply doesn't make sense. Sure, the HoS can take the occasional off-bribe, but nothing large; as that would certainly get them caught. And again - your character values their position. This is also a partial OOC measure to make sure in the case of corruption occurring; all of security cant feign no-knowledge, and action must be taken.
