This is a heavy roleplay server. Rules regarding roleplay were not adhered to, and very few of the operatives actions made sense, as if they had never planned at all. Considering how the majority of them conducted themselves, I'm quite convinced that they didn't.
Civilians and security were reportedly shot on sight with very little interaction, with operatives charging forth even when under fire. They broke into high security areas, sabotaged communications and the medical bay, and generally did very little outside of the generic nuke round formula. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought I was playing on Hippie Station.
