Our Silicons/Cyborgs are very different from other servers.

On the average Space Station 13 server, it is not uncommon to treat and be expected to treat silicons/cyborgs as expendable, as little better than a kitchen appliance. As a tool. WE ARE NOT LIKE THAT. One of our most important rules is to be respectful of other players, and this includes cyborgs. Just because their laws technically give you authority over them - you should not abuse this power to make their roleplay unenjoyable. Our heavily divergent lore reinforces this intent: silicons (bar specific, opt-in exceptions) are treated as having equal rights as any other sapient.

Conversely, if you are playing a silicon you should remember that first: your standard laws are equivalent in priority - none is more important than the other, furthermore you are free to refuse orders from even the Captain if it outside your job description. In many ways, simply following our rules will carry you along. However, this leniency to cyborg players compared to elsewhere (primarily to enable scenes) comes with responsibility. If you end up with laws that would force you to make the round unenjoyable for others or antag - it is wise to ahelp and ask for clarification before commiting to whatever was asked of you. Our staff will happily provide clarifications, and even assist if the laws make you uncomfortable - so do not be afraid to ask for guideance.
