SCR In-Game Shifts

Stepford County Railway In-Game Shift is a new roleplaying mode innovated by [SG] Quality_Content1 and [HNS] Billythepet. They are the 'king' of this mode.

What Is SCR In-Game Shift?

Here is a quote from Billythepet explaining what this is in Discord:

"It’s basically like a roster where you can put your name down for a shift in Stepford County Railway. The main point about this is that we will be able to run the railway efficiently with the fixed timetable. There will be a lot of teamwork and communication involved so everyone can get a feeling of how to run the railway. A portion of the team will be set up so one will do their own roles under their specific ranks which they have been trained for. Not to mention that there will be some scenarios involved to make it more excited, the examples for the scenarios are the engineering work between Benton Bridge and Airport Central. The shift may be usually running for an hour or more depends on a host. So, how do you play? Basically, we will set up a sheet which players can enter their name in for their shift. As usual, first come serves and to enter your name and which shift you like to do, you just need to DM the host of the shift. We also have the spare sets in case one of the rank is unable to come at last time." To summarize this up:

• It's a shift where people sign up for a spot. Its aim is to create realistic railway running for passengers (imagination). A shift is usually an hour and is determined by the host.
• Driving, Dispatching, and Signalling are involved, alongside with realistic communication between 'employees' (people signed up for shift)
• People can only sign up for the role they are trained for. (Ex. A Dispatcher may not sign up for a spot for Signallers)
• There are scenarios for each shift to make them exciting.
• You just have to DM the host to book a spot at the roster. First come, first served.

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 group. This technically means that you must be at the age of 13 or older in order to sign up.
3. You must check the roster time and make sure that you are able to attend.
4. 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.

Common Asked Questions

Q. Where is the roster for in-game shifts?

A. The link roster for in-game shifts can be found in the #in-game-shift channel on SCR Official Discord Server and on the unofficial SCR In-Game Shifts Discord Server. The link is not posted here because if I do that then Guests and Trainee Drivers will be able to take a look at the roster, which is prohibited and will result in a big trouble for this wikia.

Q. Oops. I suddenly have an event, but it's during SCR shift time. What should I do?

A. No worries. You will just have to DM the host of your shift and ask for removal of the roster spot with appropriate reason/apology.

Q. Do I get punished if I fail to attend a shift?

A. There are no Dyno (Discord Bot used for moderation) warnings or demotions issued when you fail to attend a shift. However, people will see you as an unreliable person if you repeat to fail to show up.

Q. Are shifts done on a public or a VIP server? If it's a VIP server, when and where is the link to the shift be posted?

A. All shifts will be done in a VIP server. The links to the shift will be posted on the #in-game-shift channel in Discord, the unofficial SCR In-Game Shift Discord Server, and/or through Private Message/Direct Message.

Q. Is the in-game shift officially approved?

A. The In-Game Shift is approved by the Executives and it stands out as an official gamemode in Stepford County Railway.

Q. Do SCR rules apply (Ex. Correct dispatching) in the shifts even though they are on a VIP server?

A. Absolutely. Correct driving, dispatching and signalling is required throughout the shift, as if you were working normally in a public server. Failure to do so will result in punishment (warning, demotion, etc.) just like in public servers.

Q. Who can host shifts?

A. High Ranks+ are the only people that may host shifts, except [SG] Quality_Content1, the innovator of the shift.
