What are in-game shifts?[]

A shift in SCR is an organized event in which operations in SCR are designed to mimic real life. There are drivers, dispatchers, guards, and signallers, depending on the host's discretion. People sign up beforehand and use their selected roles. Shifts are currently conducted in private servers, in order to not disturb the people in a public server.

What are the requirements?[]

There are a few requirements in order to sign up for a roster spot in SCR In-Game Shift.

  1. You must be a Qualified Driver or above.
  2. You must be in SCR Discord server. This technically means that you must be at the age of 13 or older.
  3. You must check the roster time and make sure that you are able to attend. If you originally signed up but then suddenly become unavailable due to different reasons, you must submit a cancellation request 30 minutes before the shift starts at the latest.
  4. You can only select the ranks that you have been trained for (i.e. the jobs you may perform in a public server, based on your Roblox group rank). For example, Guards cannot signal, but they can do everything else.
    1. If you are selecting any Driver slots, you must also ensure that you already own (or you can afford purchasing) the route and trains your slot will be operating before the shift.
  5. Spawn at appropriate times when starting to drive, dispatch, or signal. This is very important as failure to follow the schedule will fluctuate the realism of the shifts.
  6. Unless otherwise specified (e.g. during some "special shifts" mentioned below), you should always follow all rules applicable in public servers, and the proper procedures of the tasks done by your rank during shifts.

Flash shifts[]

There are some cases where shifts are announced with a small warning, usually 30 minutes before the shift starts. This type of shift are announced on the #shift-shouts Discord channel on the official server, along with the regular In-Game Shifts. Flash shifts do not often require signing up beforehand, as positions are generally assigned once you join the host's private server link.

Private Shifts[]

There are several SCR user-based communities providing private (unofficial) in-game SCR shifts. On these private shift events, some of the requirements that usually apply in official shifts are usually being removed or made more relaxed. For example, the requirements to perform the roles that you have been trained might be removed depending on the host, for example, for a guard to signal, or for a qualified driver to dispatch or guard. On some of the communities, anyone can host a shift without having to apply to be an Event Hoster or Shift Hoster. Some of the SCR private shift communities are:

  • papaindra's shift, owned by papaindra. This is one of the most active communities as of January 2024 with more than 1.8K members and more than 10 shifts per week, which vary across a wide range of games.
  • Recharge (previously known as SCR Events), managed by steam222232 and diamonds99999999999.
  • Catherine's Shift, owned by FOCUSYT1_DEFEAT.
  • SCRPLS, owned by Thanishplayz. Managed by GunSlinger9Beetle, Bluegab10 and blackispandaforever.

Trivia[]

  • Failure to attend a shift after signing up without any cancellation request will result in a warning.
    • Too many warnings will get you blacklisted from attending future shifts.
    • If there are people not showing up for the shift after signing up, or if there are still slots left after sign-ups are closed, the remaining slots may open to everyone else to join a few minutes before the shift starts at the discretion of the shift host.
  • In-game shifts usually include a scenario, and often end with some sort of mini-event done by the host.
    • Usually, players go to a specific location for a screenshot before the shift ends.
    • Sometimes, special shifts that are conducted in the mode of a competition or a minigame will be held, and live game rules may be nullified during these special shifts. Some shifts may also have different formats, for example a small number of shifts do not require sign-ups.
  • There was a special shift called the 24 Hour Shift. This is the longest shift ever hosted in SCR history.
  • According to the Roadmap, shift servers and a shift server teleporting system will be developed for shifts in the future similar to trainings, replacing the use of VIP server. Also, in the future, all routes and at least one train from each operator will be unlocked in shift servers so that participants are allowed to drive every route in shift even without purchasing them.
  • From July to October 2022, the official in-game shifts were suspended.
