I suppose QM permission should take precedence. Stricken. Any order you hit the "Accept" button on. Good catch. Will add: To CT SOP.

Agreed. Stricken. I'll add the following to QM SOP:

There are 3 unique jobs in the Supply Department: Quartermaster, Cargo Technician and Shaft Miner. Foreword: Job SOP should not be a considered a checklist of conditions to fire someone over. As always, SOP can be malleable if the situation so requires, and the decision to punish a crewmember for breaching it ultimately falls onto the relevant Head of Staff, for Department Members, or Captain, for the Head of Staff. Proposed Job SOP is as follows: Quartermaster: The Quartermaster must ensure that every approved order is delivered within 15 minutes of having been placed and approved; In the event of a major crisis, such as Nuclear Operatives or a Blob Organism, expediency is to be favored over paperwork, as excessive bureaucracy may be detrimental to the well-being of the station; The Quartermaster is permitted to hack the Autolathe, or to have a Cargo Tech do so, assuming they do not produce illegal materials; The Quartermaster is not permitted to authorize the ordering of Security equipment and/or gear without express permission from the Head of Security and/or Captain. An exception is made during extreme emergencies, such as Nuclear Operatives or a Blob Organism, where said equipment is to be delivered to Security, post haste; The Quartermaster must ensure at least one copy of every Order Form (ie, the forms produced by the Requests Console) is kept inside Cargo. The same applies for Cargo Technicians; The Quartermaster is not permitted to produce .357 speedloaders for the Detective without express permission from the Head of Security; The Quartermaster is not to keep any illegal items that are flushed down Disposals, and must deliver them to Security. The same applies for Cargo Technicians and Shaft Miners; The Quartermaster is not permitted to hack the MULE Delivery Bots so that they may ride them, or that they may go faster. The same applies for Cargo Technicians and Shaft Miners; The Quartermaster is permitted to authorize non-departmental orders (such as a Medical Doctor asking for Insulated Gloves) without express permission from the respective Head of Staff (in this example, the Chief Engineer), utilizing their best judgement, although they may still request a stamped form. However, any breach of Standard Operating Procedure and/or Space Law that results from said order will also implicate the Quartermaster; The Quartermaster is not permitted to authorize a Supermatter Crate without express permission from the Chief Engineer Cargo Technician: Cargo Technicians are bound to the same rules as the Quartermaster regarding restricted crates (see above); Cargo Technicians are not permitted to order items for sole personal use without express consent from the Quartermaster. Exception is made if there are more than 500 Supply Requisition Points available and no outstanding orders. Cargo Technicians may not deplete the entire stock of Requisition Points with this.; Cargo Technicians are not permitted to order non-essential items (such as cats, or clothing) without express consent from the Quartermaster; Cargo Technicians are not permitted to force and/or break open locked crates. The same applies to the Quartermaster. Exception is made for Abandoned Crates found by Mining; Cargo Technicians are not permitted to authorize non-departmental orders (such as a Medical Doctor asking for Insulated Gloves) without express permission from the Quartermaster; Cargo Technicians must ensure that every approved order is delivered within 15 minutes of having been placed and approved; Cargo Technicians must send back all crates that have been ordered, with accompanying stamped manifest inside the crate; Cargo Technicians should ensure that a single Department does not fully drain the Ore Redemption Machine, as it can be utilized by multiple Departments; Cargo Technicians are not permitted to ask for money in exchange for legal orders. The same applies to the Quartermaster; Cargo Technicians are not permitted to trade items and/or favors in exchange for items with regular personnel without express consent from the Quartermaster Shaft Miner: Shaft Miners are not permitted to bring Gibtonite aboard the station; Shaft Miners must deliver at least 1000 Points of mined material to the Ore Redemption Machine within one (1) hour; Shaft Miners are not permitted to hoard materials. All mined materials are to be left in the Ore Redemption Machine; Shaft Miners are not permitted to throw people into manufactured wormholes. Nor are they permitted to trick people into using Bluespace Crystals; Shaft Miners are not permitted to mine their way into the Labor Camp; Should Shaft Miners encounter Xenomorph lifeforms, they are to report to Medbay immediately

Time to start on Supply SOP... I guess.

Welp.

1 Anti-Tilde Deathsquad.

Mostly because I don't want to "SUDDENLY EVERYONE GETS SOP", I'd rather just take this gradually. That said, I'm all up for doing the three at the same time, if everyone else is on board.

Command SOP, due to its nature, will be done after the "minor" stuff is out of the way.

See that ice on the left? That's the Syndicate BSA. The second one. Those lungs also belong to someone who got Syndigibbed. You fuckin' people.

Calling it now: Engineering's probably going to grab 99% of the votes.

Supply Job SOP Complete! Greetings, aspiring SOP writers. If you've clicked this thread, then you're either interested in contributing to Standard Operating Procedure, or are merely interested in seeing how it's going. Therefore, I shall begin by explaining what this (soon-to-be) megathread is all about: Part 1: What is this? Approximately 4 months ago, Necaladun approached me with a personal project of his: a complete overhaul of Standard Operating Procedure, meant to centralize SOP in such a way that allowed for more interaction with the Legal sub-Department, more actual guidelines on how to conduct one's performance, and generally formalize what was once only nebulous guidelines in an effort to get everyone on the same page. This was the project that led to the current version of Security SOP. However, it was left half done, as Necaladun took his leave shortly after Sec SOP was added, and the project crumbled from lack of interest/time. However, I continued the project, but only recently picked it back up in full. The point of this megathread will be to, at the end of the line, have a single, well-defined, centralized Standard Operating Procedure that everyone can look at and fully comprehend, without any self-contradictory information. This, of course, will be changed in the Wiki, which is still the main source of information for the playerbase. Part 2: How does it work? Seeing as I actually have most of this stuff already written down, the process will be quite simple, and I'll break it down in stages: Stage 1: Selection of which part of SOP to look at, out of provided options (because we have to start somewhere). This will be done via poll; Stage 2: Proposal of new SOP. This will come from myself, again, because I have pretty much most of it already written down, so we have a solid base to go from; Stage 3: General feedback from the community. This is the main part of the process, as it will be the one where everyone can pitch in, say which parts are right, which parts are wrong, what should be changed, etc; Stage 4: Amendments made to SOP based on this feedback, and continued discussion, until a finalized version is produced; Stage 5: SOP is posted on the Wiki; Stage 6: Refer to Stage 1 Do keep in mind the following: everyone is permitted to pitch in. If you believe you have anything to add to the discussion, please do, but do try to keep this on track and problem-oriented, otherwise we'll never get off the drawing board. Part 3: What does it entail? The following are the proposed additions to this new, centralized SOP: Security Job SOP; (added by Necaladun before he took his leave) Engineering Job SOP; Medical Job SOP; (finalized!) Service Job SOP; Supply Job SOP; Science Job SOP (finalized!) In addition to the basic SOP for each Department, I also propose: Departmental SOP (as in, general guidelines for each Department that everyone should follow); (stricken to avoid bloat) Command SOP (in-depth SOP for each member of Command, not in Guideline form); (yes in Guideline form, the hell was I thinking?!) Legal SOP (standardization of Legal procedures and the action of the Legal sub-Department); A revised General SOP, for each Color Code. This will include Safety Regulations As you can see, this is a rather big project and, as such, will be tackled in small stages. At each point, the completed section of SOP will be crossed out, and a notification written. At the end of the journey, a single, massive Standard Operating Procedure page will be added to the wiki, with all the above SOPs for everyone to look at. In addition, of course, to their own specific pages. And now, you've reached the end of the page. It's time to start, ladies and gentlemen.

Transferred Medical SOP to the brand new Medical SOP page

Right, seeing as this appears to be (mostly) settled, I'll uh... start the Wiki thing.

Changed: To:

Added: To Coroner SOP.

While I see your point, please let us keep from bloating SOP with tiny details that will, in 99,999% of times, be irrelevant. Like updating Medical Records.

Changed: To: Also changed: To:

Well, seeing as no one else seems to be posting, I'm going to be giving this thread 3 more days before uploading the SOP to the relevant wiki page and continuing the project.

All SOP is IC. I will keep repeating this until people get the memo.

ATTENTION: GUIDELINE HAS BEEN MODIFIED, CHECK AGAIN AND PLEASE RE-VOTE IF REQUIRED.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see your take on Detective Jonah "Motherfucking" Bright.

Now I wanna ask but feel bad because I have no money to spare ;_;

Except it does. Dirt accumulates ridiculously fast, to the point where 50% of your job as a Janitor is mopping the small area between the Bar and Medbay. Hence my preference for simply reducing the rate of accumulation.

Not... really, this is in reference to stuff like letting Genetics give Sec/someone else get powers, or in the case of the CMO, allowing a virus to be released without knowing their full list of symptoms (assuming the virus turns out horrible, of course).

Janitorial pride. That said, I would have preferred a fix to how much it accumulated rather than outright removal. Feels artificial.
