UNOFFICIAL How to Participate in a Training / Shift

This guide is aimed for the newer players of SV (CAO-COMM), but anyone can follow along. This isn’t a set of rules, just general advice. The point of this guide is to prevent players from doing things they aren’t exactly supposed to do in a session.

General Advice

Use PTS to speak when it is active

  • The host will usually say something like “PTS is active”. If you need to ask a question, say PTS, wait for the host/co-host to say “Granted,” then ask your question.

If you get a strike (S1 or S2)

  • Strikes are warnings: S1 (first strike) or S2 (second strike). Don’t repeat the action that caused the strike, or you might be dismissed (kicked from the session).

Address the host / co-host by their roles

  • Use their rank when replying (e.g., “Yes, CP”). If they say “(Yes/No), [RANK],” always include their rank in your response.

Don’t be annoying

  • Don’t ask for promotions, because that is hinting, and will get you removed from the session. Also, if the host says “No” or “Picking” to you asking to be a helper / co-host, don’t repeatedly ask again and again.

Shifts

When talking on the radio, use your role for the shift

  • Example: If you’re assigned as Patrol, say “[PATROL] CB is clear.” Replace “Patrol” with your assigned role (e.g., CAM-OP, CAPTAIN).

Follow all orders given to you by an SI+

  • IMPORTANT: Do NOT follow orders that break Roblox TOS or SV rules (e.g., harassment, exploiting).

Report to the SR (Session Room) when instructed

  • Don’t stay in the SR the whole shift—active participation is key to promotions!

Trainings

Be reasonable

  • Don’t overreact in scenarios (e.g., avoid modcalling for minor actions like an inmate saying “hello”).

Fix gaps

  • If someone leaves, fill the gap by moving closer to others. Don’t be shy—they can’t bite you on Roblox!

Be positive!

  • At the end, say “Good luck!” instead of criticizing yourself. Most trainings require passing 3/4 phases to earn promotion.

Don’t frisk or kill the “inmate” in scenarios

  • Frisking/killing disrupts the scenario. The inmate may lose weapons or respawn at the status.

Don’t say the answer to the question on the radio

  • Answers belong in PMs, not the radio! This helps the host manage the training smoothly.

This is a great guide! You should also probably add “do not be annoying” as we’ve all been in shifts with that one ERT who keeps asking for a promotion

Thanks! Yes, I definitely will add that!
