General	This section contains the general information that is useful for both teams: Gamemodes and Maps Distress Signal Also known as Infestation and formerly known as Colonial Marines, the CM-SS13 game mode is Aliens vs. Marines; this game mode ends with the eradication of one side. Custom events started by admins can sometimes take place during this mode. This is the default game mode of CM. Alternate Gamemodes The Hunter Games game mode is split into two modes, the first one being a deathmatch style with random weapons, mostly melee or thrown, scattered about, typically with admins spicing it up. The second mode is where there are still weapons scattered about, and it is still a free for all deathmatch however RP is encouraged due to how multiple 'Tribes' are spawned in at certain areas of the designated map to play on. From there the tribes can go to war, conduct diplomacy, execute their prisoners of war, go looting, etc. Nearing round end the remaining players of the tribes are told to get to more of a 'There can be Only One' styled of gameplay, with the last player standing wins. This is a game mode that needs one of the heads of staff to be online to play this mode properly. Remember, this is a game mode that can only be playable from round start. Whiskey Outpost A special defense game mode that is limited to the Whiskey Outpost map but it may be playable on other maps. More information can be found here. Only admins can change this gamemode. Hive Wars A xenomorph only gamemode that involves a four-way war between the Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta hives. Gameplay involves diplomacy and combat, with the main objective of wiping out the enemy hive cores and queens until one hive remains. Extended The Extended game mode does appear in CM-SS13, but it's reserved for admin events only. Normally xenomorphs aren't spawned in extended rounds; however, it's up to the admin hosting the event. An example event that uses extended would be the CLF vs USCM. Maps Colonial Marines currently has nine maps. The foggy, tropical warzone colony of Lazarus Landing on Planet LV-624; the harsh, cold winter environment of Ice Colony on Planet LV-343 'Ifrit,' also known as Shiva's Snowball; the modern, hot areas of the research facility Solaris Ridge on the Planet Big-Red; the ever-floating, maximum security station is known as the Florina Orbital Penitentiary or simply, Prison Station; the expansive, open, sandy battleground of Trijent Dam; The rocky and desolate colony of chances is also simply called Chances Claim or LV-522 as the official designation goes ; the divided biome colony of Sorokyne Strata; the linear farming colony of Kutjevo; and the soon-to-be overrun Whiskey Outpost in the Neroid sector.

A popular choice is selecting the dark type. Preferences & Others Turning off xenomorph preference Go to the Preference tab for verbs (top right) and click on Toggle SpecialRole Candidacy and select xeno.

Negotiation between hostile sides (USCM/CLF/UPP/Aliens) It is not possible to negotiate with hostile factions, nor it is possible to have a peace treaty with one faction to work together against a common goal (Killing xenomorphs). Read this for more info. About End of Round Grief (EORG) EORG is essentially doing something related to combat (Such as firing weapons to anyone and anything, friendly-firing, etc.) or breaking some rules of the server at the end of the round (indicated by a big round end message as well as an EORG message), hence End of Round Grief. Like most Heavy-Roleplay servers (Baystation 12, Aurorastation, etc.) in SS13, doing EORG is not allowed, and continuing to do that can lead you to a ban for 3 hours without warning. Read Rule # 3 for more info.
